VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Audite hoc, sacerdotes, et attendite, domus Israël, et domus regis, auscultate : quia vobis judicium est, quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, et rete expansum super Thabor.	1 Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
2 Et victimas declinastis in profundum ; et ego eruditor omnium eorum.	2 And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
3 Ego scio Ephraim, et Israël non est absconditus a me : quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim ; contaminatus est Israël.	3 I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
4 Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum, quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, et Dominum non cognoverunt.	4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus, et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua : ruet etiam Judas cum eis.	5 And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
6 In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, et non invenient : ablatus est ab eis.	6 With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
7 In Dominum prævaricati sunt, quia filios alienos genuerunt : nunc devorabit eos mensis, cum partibus suis.	7 They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
8 Clangite buccina in Gabaa, tuba in Rama ; ululate in Bethaven, post tergum tuum, Benjamin.	8 Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
9 Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis ; in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem.	9 Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
10 Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum ; super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam.	10 The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
11 Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus judicio, quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.	11 Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
12 Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim, et quasi putredo domui Juda.	12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
13 Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, et Juda vinculum suum ; et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, et misit ad regem ultorem : et ipse non poterit sanare vos, nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum.	13 And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
14 Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda. Ego, ego capiam, et vadam ; tollam, et non est qui eruat.	14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
15 Vadens revertar ad locum meum, donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.	15 I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
