5 — Osea

1Hear ye this, O priests, and hearken, O ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king: for there is a judgment against you, because you have been a snare to them whom you should have watched over and a net spread upon Thabor.Udite adesso, o sacerdoti, pon mente tu, o casa d'Israele, e tu, casa del re, ascolta: perocché di voi dee farsi giudizio, mentre in cambio di sentinelle siete divenuti lacciuolo, e rete tesa sul Thabor.HEARE ye this ô priestes, and attend ye house of Israel, and you the kinges house harken: because there is iudgement for you, because you are become a snare to speculation, and a nette spred vpon Thabor.Audite hoc, sacerdotes, / et attendite, domus Israël, / et domus regis, auscultate: / quia vobis judicium est, / quoniam laqueus facti estis speculationi, / et rete expansum super Thabor. 2And you have turned aside victims into the depth and I am the teacher of them all.E le vittime faceste cader nell'abisso. Io però vi ho istruiti tutti.And victims you haue declined into the depth: and I the teacher of them al.Et victimas declinastis in profundum; / et ego eruditor omnium eorum. 3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me for now Ephraim hath committed fornication, Israel is defiled.Io conosco Ephraim, e non è a me ignoto Israele: so come adesso Ephraim è fornicatore, e Israele è contaminato.I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: because now hath Ephraim fornicated, Israel is contaminated.Ego scio Ephraim, / et Israël non est absconditus a me: / quia nunc fornicatus est Ephraim; / contaminatus est Israël. 4They will not set their thoughts to return to their God: for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.Ei non rivolgeranno i loro pensieri a tornare al Dio loro; perchè lo spirito di fornicazione li domina, e non conoscono il Signore.They wil not geue their cogitations to• returne to their God: because the spirit of fornications is in the middes of them, and they haue not knowen the Lord.Non dabunt cogitationes suas ut revertantur ad Deum suum, / quia spiritus fornicationum in medio eorum, / et Dominum non cognoverunt. 5And the pride of Israel shall answer in his face: and Israel, and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity, Juda also shall fall with them.L'arroganza, che Israele porta sulla faccia, deporrà contro di lui; e Israele, ed Ephraim anderanno in rovina per la loro iniquità: anderà in rovina con essi anche Giuda.And the arrogancie of Israel shal answere in his face: and Israel, and Ephraim shal fal in their iniquitie, Iudas also shal fal with them.Et respondebit arrogantia Israël in facie ejus, / et Israël et Ephraim ruent in iniquitate sua: / ruet etiam Judas cum eis.

6With their flocks and with their herds, they shall go to seek the Lord, and shall not find him: he is withdrawn from them.Anderanno cercando il Signore coll'offerta de' greggi loro, e degli armenti, e nol troveranno: egli se n'è ito da loro.In their flockes, and in their heardes they shal goe to seeke the Lord, and shal not finde: he is taken away from them.In gregibus suis et in armentis suis vadent ad quærendum Dominum, / et non invenient: / ablatus est ab eis. 7They have transgressed against the Lord: for they have begotten children that are strangers: now shall a month devour them with their portions.Han mancato di fede al Signore; perocché han generati de' figliuoli bastardi: adesso un mese li divorerà colle lor possessioni.They haue preuaricated against the Lord, because they haue begotten strange children: now shal a moneth deuoure them with their partes.In Dominum prævaricati sunt, / quia filios alienos genuerunt: / nunc devorabit eos mensis, cum partibus suis. 8Blow ye the cornet in Gabaa, the trumpet in Rama: howl ye in Bethaven, behind thy back, O Benjamin.Suonate la buccina a Gabaa, la tromba a Rama: si alzin le urla a Bethaven dietro alle tue spalle, o Beniamin.Sound with the trumpet in Gabaa, and with the shaulme in Rama: howle ye in Bethauen, behind thy backe ô BeniaminClangite buccina in Gabaa, / tuba in Rama; / ululate in Bethaven, / post tergum tuum, Benjamin. 9Ephraim shall be in desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel I have shewn that which shall surely be.Ephraim sarà desolato nel dì della vendetta. Mi son dimostrato fedele riguardo alle tribù d'Israele.Ephraim shal be in desolation in the day of correction: in the tribes of Israel I haue shewed faith.Ephraim in desolatione erit in die correptionis; / in tribubus Israël ostendi fidem. 10The princes of Juda are become as they that take up the bound: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.I principi di Giuda son come quelli, che smuovono i termini: verserò com'acqua sopra di essi il mio sdegno.The princes of Iuda are become as they that take the bound: I wil power out my wrath as water vpon them.Facti sunt principes Juda quasi assumentes terminum; / super eos effundam quasi aquam iram meam. 11Ephraim is under oppression, and broken in judgment: because he began to go after filthiness.Ephraim patisce oppressione, ed è soverchiato in giudizio; perchè si diede a seguire le sozzure.Ephraim is suffering calumnie, broken in iudgement: because he began to goe after filthines.Calumniam patiens est Ephraim, fractus judicio, / quoniam cœpit abire post sordes.

12And I will be like a moth to Ephraim: and like rottenness to the house of Juda.E io sarò come tignuola per Ephraim, e come tarlo per la casa di Giuda.And I as it were a mothe to Ephraim: and as the rotte to the house of Iuda.Et ego quasi tinea Ephraim, / et quasi putredo domui Juda. 13And Ephraim saw his sickness, and Juda his band: and Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to the avenging king: and he shall not be able to heal you, neither shall he be able to take off the band from you.Sentì Ephraim la sua fiacchezza, e Giuda il suo male. Ed Ephraim ricorse all'Assiro e (Giuda) chiamò un re in sua difesa. Ma questi non potrà rendervi sanità, né liberarvi dal vostro male.And Ephraim saw his sicknes, and Iuda his band: and Ephraim went to Assur, and sent to the king reuenger: and he shal not be able to heale you, neither shal he be able to loose the band from you.Et vidit Ephraim languorem suum, / et Juda vinculum suum; / et abiit Ephraim ad Assur, / et misit ad regem ultorem: / et ipse non poterit sanare vos, / nec solvere poterit a vobis vinculum. 14For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s whelp to the house of Juda: I, I will catch, and go: I will take away, and there is none that can rescue.Perocché io son come una lionessa per Ephraim, e come un giovine lione per la casa di Giuda. Io, io farò mia preda, e me n'anderò, la prenderò, e a me nissuno la ritorni.Because I as it were a lionesse to Ephraim, and as a lions whelpe to the house of Iuda: I, I wil take, and goe: I wil take away, and there is none that can deliuer.Quoniam ego quasi leæna Ephraim, / et quasi catulus leonis domui Juda. / Ego, ego capiam, et vadam; / tollam, et non est qui eruat. 15I will go and return to my place: until you are consumed, and seek my face.Me n'anderò, e tornerò al mio luogo, persino a tanto che siate ridotti all'estremo, e cerchiate di me.Going I wil returne to my place: vntil you fayle and seeke my face.Vadens revertar ad locum meum, / donec deficiatis, et quæratis faciem meam.
