Hosea 9

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NOVA VULGATA
1 Do not choose to rejoice, Israel; do not celebrate as the crowds do. For you have been committing fornication against your God; you have loved a prize upon every threshing floor of wheat.	1 Noli laetari, Israel; noli exsultare sicut populi, quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo, dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.
2 The threshing floor and the oil press will not feed them, and the wine will deceive them.	2 Area et torcular non pascet eos, et vinum mentietur eis.
3 They will not dwell in the land of the Lord. Ephraim has been returned to Egypt, and he has eaten polluted things among the Assyrians.	3 Non manebunt in terra Domini: revertetur Ephraim in Aegyptum, et in Assyria pollutum comedent.
4 They will not offer a libation of wine to the Lord, and they will not please him. Their sacrifices will be like the bread of mourners. All those who eat it will be defiled. For their bread is of their soul; it will not enter into the house of the Lord.	4 Non libabunt Domino vinum, et non placebunt ei sacrificia eorum; quasi panis lugentium erunt eis: omnes, qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur, quia panis eorum erit tantummodo pro vita ipsorum; non intrabit in domum Domini.
5 What will you do on the solemn day, on the day of the feast of the Lord?	5 Quid facietis in die sollemni, in die festivitatis Domini?
6 For, behold, they have been sent away by devastation. Egypt will gather them together; Memphis will bury them. Nettles will inherit their desired silver; the burr will be in their tabernacles.	6 Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate; Aegyptus congregabit eos, Memphis sepeliet eos: desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hereditabit, spina in tabernaculis eorum.
7 The days of visitation have arrived; the days of retribution are here. Know this, Israel: that the prophet was foolish, the spiritual man was mad, because of the multitude of your iniquities and the great extent of your foolishness.	7 Venerunt dies visitationis, venerunt dies retributionis: sciat Israel! “Stultus — clamet — est propheta; insanus vir spiritalis”. Secundum multitudinem iniquitatis tuae multae sunt inimicitiae tuae.
8 The watcher of Ephraim was with my God. The prophet has become a snare of ruin over all his ways; insanity is in the house of his God.	8 Speculatur Ephraim, populus Dei mei, prophetam; laqueus aucupis super omnes vias eius, inimicitiae in ipsa domo Dei eius.
9 They have sinned profoundly, just as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sin.	9 Profunde peccaverunt sicut in diebus Gabaa; recordabitur iniquitatis eorum et visitabit peccata eorum.
10 I discovered Israel like grapes in the desert. Like the first fruits of the fig tree, I saw their fathers on the end of its branches. But they went in to Baal-peor, and they have been estranged by intermingling, and they have became abominable, just like the things that they chose to love.	10 Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israel, quasi prima poma ficulneae in initio eius vidi patres vestros; ipsi autem intraverunt ad Baalphegor et se consecraverunt Confusioni et facti sunt abominabiles sicut id, quod dilexerunt.
11 Ephraim has chased away their glory like a bird: from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.	11 Ephraim quasi avis avolabit gloria eorum, a partu et ab utero et a conceptu.
12 And even if they should nurture their sons, I will make them without children among men. Yes, and woe to them, when I have withdrawn from them.	12 Quod si et enutrierint filios suos, absque liberis eos faciam, absque hominibus; sed et vae eis, cum recessero ab eis!
13 Ephraim, as I see it, was a Tyre, founded by beauty. And Ephraim will lead his sons to execution.	13 Ephraim, ut vidi, in venationem posuit sibi filios suos, et Ephraim educit ad interfectorem filios suos.
14 Give them, O Lord. What will you give them? Give them a womb without children, and dry breasts.	14 “Da eis, Domine! Quid dabis eis? Da eis vulvam sine liberis et ubera arentia!”.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for I held them there, in their hatred. Because of the malice of their inventions, I will expel them from my house. I will no longer say that I love them; all their leaders have retreated.	15 Omnes nequitiae eorum in Galgala, profecto ibi exosos habui eos. Propter malitiam operum eorum de domo mea eiciam eos. Non addam ut diligam eos; omnes principes eorum rebelles.
16 Ephraim has been struck; their root has been dried out: by no means will they yield fruit. And even if they should conceive, I will execute the most beloved of their womb.	16 Percussus est Ephraim, radix eorum exsiccata est, fructum nequaquam facient; quod si et genuerint, interficiam amantissima uteri eorum ”.
17 My God will cast them aside because they have not listened to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.	17 Abiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum; et erunt vagi in nationibus.
