VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 In tribulatione sua mane consurgent ad me :
Venite, et revertamur ad Dominum,
1 Come, let us return to Yahweh. He has rent us and he wil heal us; he has struck us and he will bind upour wounds;
2 quia ipse cepit, et sanabit nos ;
percutiet, et curabit nos.
2 after two days he wil revive us, on the third day he wil raise us up and we shal 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 Yahweh; that he will come is as certain as the dawn. He wil come tous like a shower, like the rain of springtime to the earth.
4 Quid faciam tibi, Ephraim ?
quid faciam tibi, Juda ?
misericordia vestra quasi nubes matutina,
et quasi ros mane pertransiens.
4 What am I to do with you, Ephraim? What am I to do with you, Judah? For your love is like morningmist, like the dew that quickly disappears.
5 Propter hoc dolavi in prophetis ;
occidi eos in verbis oris mei :
et judicia tua quasi lux egredientur.
5 This is why I have hacked them to pieces by means of the prophets, why I have kil ed them with wordsfrom my mouth, why my sentence wil blaze forth like the dawn-
6 Quia misericordiam volui, et non sacrificium ;
et scientiam Dei plus quam holocausta.
6 for faithful love is what pleases me, not sacrifice; knowledge of God, not burnt offerings.
7 Ipsi autem sicut Adam transgressi sunt pactum :
ibi prævaricati sunt in me.
7 But they have broken the covenant at Adam, there they have betrayed me.
8 Galaad civitas operantium idolum,
supplantata sanguine.
8 Gilead is a city of evil-doers, ful of bloody footprints.
9 Et quasi fauces virorum latronum,
particeps sacerdotum, in via interficientium pergentes de Sichem :
quia scelus operati sunt.
9 Like so many robbers in ambush, a gang of priests commits murder on the road to Shechem- whatinfamous behaviour!
10 In domo Israël vidi horrendum :
ibi fornicationes Ephraim,
contaminatus est Israël.
10 At Bethel I have seen a horrible thing; there Ephraim plays the whore, Israel is befouled.
11 Sed et Juda, pone messem tibi,
cum convertero captivitatem populi mei.
11 For you too, Judah, a harvest is in store, when I restore my people's fortunes.
