Hosea 13
JPS Tanakh (Jewish Publication Society, 1917)
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he became guilty through Baal, he died.
1[Loquente Ephraim, horror invasit Israël; et deliquit in Baal, et mortuus est.
2And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, according to their own understanding, even idols, all of them the work of the craftsmen; of them they say: 'They that sacrifice men kiss calves.'
2Et nunc addiderunt ad peccandum; feceruntque sibi conflatile de argento suo quasi similitudinem idolorum: factura artificum totum est: his ipsi dicunt: Immolate homines, vitulos adorantes.
3Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the wind out of the threshing-floor, and as the smoke out of the window.
3Idcirco erunt quasi nubes matutina, et sicut ros matutinus præteriens; sicut pulvis turbine raptus ex area, et sicut fumus de fumario.
4Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; and thou knowest no God but Me, and beside Me there is no saviour.
4Ego autem Dominus Deus tuus, ex terra Ægypti; et Deum absque me nescies, et salvator non est præter me.
5I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
5Ego cognovi te in deserto, in terra solitudinis.
6When they were fed, they became full, they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten Me.
6Juxta pascua sua adimpleti sunt et saturati sunt; et levaverunt cor suum, et obliti sunt mei.
7Therefore am I become unto them as a lion; as a leopard will I watch by the way;
7Et ego ero eis quasi leæna, sicut pardus in via Assyriorum.
8I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the enclosure of their heart; and there will I devour them like a lioness; the wild beast shall tear them.
8Occurram eis quasi ursa raptis catulis, et dirumpam interiora jecoris eorum, et consumam eos ibi quasi leo: bestia agri scindet eos.
9It is thy destruction, O Israel, that thou art against Me, against thy help.
9Perditio tua, Israël: tantummodo in me auxilium tuum.
10Ho, now, thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities! and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: 'Give me a king and princes!'
10Ubi est rex tuus? maxime nunc salvet te in omnibus urbibus tuis; et judices tui, de quibus dixisti: Da mihi regem et principes.
11I give thee a king in Mine anger, and take him away in My wrath.
11Dabo tibi regem in furore meo, et auferam in indignatione mea.
12The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is laid up in store.
12Colligata est iniquitas Ephraim; absconditum peccatum ejus.
13The throes of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for it is time he should not tarry in the place of the breaking forth of children.
13Dolores parturientis venient ei: ipse filius non sapiens: nunc enim non stabit in contritione filiorum.
14Shall I ransom them from the power of the nether-world? Shall I redeem them from death? Ho, thy plagues, O death! Ho, thy destruction, O nether-world! Repentance be hid from Mine eyes!
14De manu mortis liberabo eos; de morte redimam eos. Ero mors tua, o mors ! morsus tuus ero, inferne ! consolatio abscondita est ab oculis meis.
15For though he be fruitful among the reed-plants, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up; he shall spoil the treasure of all precious vessels.
15Quia ipse inter fratres dividet: adducet urentem ventum Dominus de deserto ascendentem, et siccabit venas ejus, et desolabit fontem ejus: et ipse diripiet thesaurum omnis vasis desiderabilis.]
16(14-1) Samaria shall bear her guilt, for she hath rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
