Osee 6

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 In tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me : Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum,	1 In their affliction, they shall look for me: "Come, let us return to the LORD, For it is he who has rent, but he will heal us; he has struck us, but he will bind our wounds.
2 quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos ; percutiet, et curabit nos.	2 He will revive us after two days; on the third day he will raise us up, to live in his presence.
3 Vivificabit nos post duos dies ; in die tertia suscitabit nos, et vivemus in conspectu ejus. Sciemus, sequemurque ut cognoscamus Dominum : quasi diluculum præparatus est egressus ejus, et veniet quasi imber nobis temporaneus et serotinus terræ.	3 Let us know, let us strive to know the LORD; as certain as the dawn is his coming, and his judgment shines forth like the light of day! He will come to us like the rain, like spring rain that waters the earth."
4 Quid faciam tibi, Ephraim ? quid faciam tibi, Juda ? misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina, et quasi ros mane pertransiens.	4 What can I do with you, Ephraim? What can I do with you, Judah? Your piety is like a morning cloud, like the dew that early passes away.
5 Propter hoc dolavi in prophetis ; occidi eos in verbis oris mei : et judicia tua quasi lux egredientur.	5 For this reason I smote them through the prophets, I slew them by the words of my mouth;
6 Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium ; et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta.	6 For it is love that I desire, not sacrifice, and knowledge of God rather than holocausts.
7 Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum : ibi prævaricati sunt in me.	7 But they, in their land, violated the covenant; there they were untrue to me.
8 Galaad civitas operantium idolum, supplantata sanguine.	8 Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with blood.
9 Et quasi fauces virorum latronum, particeps sacerdotum, in via interficientium pergentes de Sichem : quia scelus operati sunt.	9 As brigands ambush a man, a band of priests slay on the way to Shechem, committing monstrous crime.
10 In domo Israël vidi horrendum : ibi fornicationes Ephraim, contaminatus est Israël.	10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
11 Sed et Juda, pone messem tibi, cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.	11 For you also, O Judah, a harvest has been appointed.
