10 — Osea

1Israel a vine full of branches, the fruit is agreeable to it: according to the multitude of his fruit, he hath multiplied altars, according to the plenty of his land he hath abounded with idols.Vite frondosa Israele, la quale ebbe frutti proporzionati. Quanto egli più abbondo di beni, tanto maggior numero ebbe di altari, e quanto la sua terra fu più feconda, maggior copia egli ebbe di simolacri.ISRAEL a vine a thicke of branches, the fruite is made equal to it: according to the multitude of his fruite he hath multiplied altars, according to the plentie of his land he hath abunded in idols.Vitis frondosa Israël, / fructus adæquatus est ei: / secundum multitudinem fructus sui multiplicavit altaria, / juxta ubertatem terræ suæ exuberavit simulacris. 2Their heart is divided: now they shall perish: he shall break down their idols, he shall destroy their altars.Costoro hanno il cuore diviso, e tosto anderanno in rovina. Dio spezzerà i lor simolacri, e atterrerà i loro altari.Their hart is diuided, now they shal perish: he shal breake their idols, he shal destroy their altars.Divisum est cor eorum, nunc interibunt; / ipse confringet simulacra eorum, / depopulabitur aras eorum. 3For now they shall say: We have no king: because we fear not the Lord: and what shall a king do to us?Perocché or ora diranno: Noi siam senza re, perchè non temiamo il Signore: e un re, che farebbe egli per noi?Because they wil now say: We haue no king: for we feare not our Lord: and what shal a king do to vs?Quia nunc dicent: Non est rex nobis, / non enim timemus Dominum; / et rex quid faciet nobis ? 4You speak words of an unprofitable vision, and you shall make a covenant: and judgment shall spring up as bitterness in the furrows of the field.Ripetete pur le parole di una falsa visione: e stabilite pur l'alleanza: ma la vendetta di Dio pullulerà come l'erba amara sui solchi del campo.You speake wordes of vnprofitable vision, and you shal make a couenant: & iudgement shal spring as bitternes vpon the furrowes of the filde.Loquimini verba visionis inutilis, et ferietis fœdus; / et germinabit quasi amaritudo judicium super sulcos agri. 5The inhabitants of Samaria have worshipped the kine of Bethaven: for the people thereof have mourned over it, and the wardens of its temple that rejoiced over it in its glory because it is departed from it.Gli abitanti della Samaria renderon culto alle vacche di Bethaven: e quel popolo, e i suoi sacerdotj, i quali già facevano festa per la gloria di quel vitello, spargono lagrime, perchè egli ne resta spogliato.The kine of Bethauen haue the inhabitans of Samaria worshipped: Because his people mourned vpon him, & his temple wardens reioyced vpon him in his glorie, because it departed from him.Vaccas Bethaven coluerunt habitatores Samariæ; / quia luxit super eum populus ejus, / et æditui ejus super eum exsultaverunt / in gloria ejus, quia migravit ab eo.

6For itself also is carried into Assyria, a present to the avenging king: shame shall fall upon Ephraim, and Israel shall be confounded in his own will.Imperocché egli fu trasportato nell'Assiria in dono al re difensore. Ephraim resterà svergognato, e Israele ritrarrà confusione da' suoi consigli.For he also was caried vnto Assur, a gift to the king Reuenger: confusion shal take Ephraim, & Israel shal be confunded in his owne wil.Siquidem et ipse in Assur delatus est, / munus regi ultori. / Confusio Ephraim capiet, / et confundetur Israël in voluntate sua. 7Samaria hath made her king to pass as froth upon the face of the water.Samaria ha fatto sparire il suo re, come una bolla, che galleggia sull'acqua.Samaria hath made her king to passe as froth vpon the face of water.Transire fecit Samaria regem suum / quasi spumam super faciem aquæ. 8And the high places of the idol, the sin of Israel shall be destroyed: the bur and the thistle shall grow up over their altars: and they shall say to the mountains Cover us; and to the hills: Fall upon us.E saranno distrutti i luoghi eccelsi di quel simulacro, il peccato d'Israele. Lappole, e stecchi spunteranno sopra de' loro altari: ed eglino diranno ai monti: cuopriteci: e alle colline: rovesciatevi sopra di noi.And the excelses of the idol the sinne of Israel shal be destroyed: the burre and the thistle shal grow vp ouer their altars: and they shal say to the mountaines: Couer vs; and to the litle hilles: Fal vpon vs.Et disperdentur excelsa idoli, peccatum Israël; / lappa et tribulus ascendet super aras eorum: / et dicent montibus: Operite nos, / et collibus: Cadite super nos. 9From the days of Gabaa, Israel hath sinned, there they stood: the battle in Gabaa against the children of iniquity shall not overtake them.Dai tempi (del fatto) di Gabaa. Israele fece il peccato: in esso han perseverato: non saranno esposti a una guerra, come quella fatta a Gabaa contro que' figliuoli d'iniquità.From the Dayes of Gabaa, Israel hath sinned, there they stood: the battel in Gabaa vpon the children of iniquitie shal not apprehend them.Ex diebus Gabaa peccavit Israël; / ibi steterunt. / Non comprehendet eos in Gabaa / prælium super filios iniquitatis. 10According to my desire, I will chastise them: and the nations shall be gathered together against them, when they shall be chastised for their two iniquities.Secondo la mia volontà saranno puniti da me: si aduneranno le genti contro di loro, allorché saranno puniti della doppia loro iniquità.According to my desire I wil chastise them: and the peoples shal be gathered together vpon them, when they shal be chastised for their two inquities.Juxta desiderium meum corripiam eos: / congregabuntur super eos populi, / cum corripientur propter duas iniquitates suas.

11Ephraim is a heifer taught to love to tread out corn, but I passed over upon the beauty of her neck: I will ride upon Ephraim, Juda shall plough, Jacob shall break the furrows for himself.Ephraim, vitella avvezza a fare la battitura; ma io domerò la sua bella giogaia: salirò sopra Ephraim, Giuda porrà la mano all'aratro, Giacobbe romperà le zolle co' suoi solchi.Ephraim an heifer taught to loue threshing, and I haue passed ouer the beautie of her necke: I wil ascend vpon Ephraim, Iudas shal plough, Iacob shal breake the furrowes to himself.Ephraim vitula docta diligere trituram, / et ego transivi super pulchritudinem colli ejus: / ascendam super Ephraim, / arabit Judas; / confringet sibi sulcos Jacob. 12Sow for yourselves in justice, and reap in the mouth of mercy, break up your fallow ground: but the time to seek the Lord is, when he shall come that shall teach you justice.Spargete voi semenza di giustizia, e mieterete copiosa misericordia: rompete la vostra inculta terra: ed è tempo di cercare il Signore, sino a tanto che venga chi insegnerà a voi la giustizia.Sow to your selues in iustice, and reape in the mouth of mercie, fallow ground: but the time to seeke our Lord, when he shal come that shal teach you iustice.Seminate vobis in justitia, / et metite in ore misericordiæ. / Innovate vobis novale; / tempus autem requirendi Dominum, / cum venerit qui docebit vos justitiam. 13You have ploughed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity, you have eaten the fruit of lying: because thou hast trusted in thy ways, in the multitude of thy strong ones.Araste per l'empietà, avete mietuta iniquità, avete mangiati frutti mendaci. Tu mettesti la tua fidanza ne' tuoi ritrovamenti, e nel numero de' tuoi campioni.you haue ploughed impietie, you haue reaped iniquitie, you haue eaten the fruite of lying: because thou hast trusted in thy wayes, in the multitude of thy strong ones.Arastis impietatem, / iniquitatem messuistis: / comedistis frugem mendacii, / quia confisus es in viis tuis, / in multitudine fortium tuorum. 14A tumult shall arise among thy people: and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed as Salmana was destroyed, by the house of him that judged Baal in the day of battle, the mother being dashed in pieces upon her children.Si alzeranno le strida nel vostro popolo, e tutte le vostre fortezze saranno smantellate, come fu distrutto Salmana in quella battaglia dalla schiera di colui, che fe' vendetta di Baal, fu infranta la madre sopra i suoi figli.A tumult shal arise in thy people: & al thy munitions shal be destroyed as Salmana was destroyed by his house that tooke vengeance on Baal in the day of battel, the mother being dashed in peeces vpon the children.Consurget tumultus in populo tuo; / et omnes munitiones tuæ vastabuntur, / sicut vastatus est Salmana a domo ejus qui judicavit Baal / in die prælii, matre super filios allisa.

15So hath Bethel done to you, because of the evil of your iniquities.Ecco quello, che ha fatto a voi Bethel, a motivo delle pessime vostre malvagità.So hath Bethel done to you, because of the malice of your iniquities.Sic fecit vobis Bethel, / a facie malitiæ nequitiarum vestrarum.
