1Sicut mane transiit, pertransiit rex Israël. Quia puer Israël, et dilexi eum; et ex Ægypto vocavi filium meum.
As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel passed away. Because Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt.
Sicut mane transi, rege Israële pertransi. Quia puero Israële, et dilige illo; et ex Aegypto voca filio meo.
2Vocaverunt eos, sic abierunt a facie eorum; Baalim immolabant, et simulacris sacrificabant.
As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.
Voca illos, sic i ab ab facie de illos; baalime immola, et simulacros sacrifica.
3Et ego quasi nutritius Ephraim: portabam eos in brachiis meis, et nescierunt quod curarem eos.
And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I healed them.
Et me quasi nutriter Ephraeme: porta illos in brachios meo, et ne sci quod cura illos.
4In funiculis Adam traham eos, in vinculis caritatis; et ero eis quasi exaltans jugum super maxillas eorum, et declinavi ad eum ut vesceretur.
I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat.
In funiculos Adamo trahe illos, in vinculos de caritate; et es ad illos quasi exalta iugo super maxillo de illos, et declina ad illo ut vesce.
5Non revertetur in terram Ægypti, et Assur ipse rex ejus, quoniam noluerunt converti.
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king: because they would not be converted.
Non reverte in terra de Aegypto, et Assure ipso rege de illo, quia ne vol converte.
6Cœpit gladius in civitatibus ejus, et consumet electos ejus, et comedet capita eorum.
The sword hath begun in his cities, and it shall consume his chosen men, and shall devour their heads.
Gladio incipe in civitates de illo, et consume elige de illo, et comede capites de illos.
7Et populus meus pendebit ad reditum meum; jugum autem imponetur eis simul, quod non auferetur.
And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put upon them together, which shall not be taken off.
Et populo meo pende ad reditu meo; iugo autem impone ad illos simul, quod non aufer.
8Quomodo dabo te, Ephraim? protegam te, Israël? Quomodo dabo te sicut Adama, ponam te ut Seboim? Conversum est in me cor meum, pariter conturbata est pœnitudo mea.
How shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up.
Quomodo da te, Ephraeme? Protige te, Israële? Quomodo da te sicut Adama, pone te ut Seboime? Converte es in me corde meo, pariter conturba es poenitudine meo.
9Non faciam furorem iræ meæ; non convertar ut disperdam Ephraim, quoniam Deus ego, et non homo; in medio tui sanctus, et non ingrediar civitatem.
I will not execute the fierceness of my wrath: I will not return to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city.
Non fac furore de ira meo; non converte ut disperde Ephraeme, quia Deo me, et non homine; in medio tuo sancto, et non ingredior civitate.
10Post Dominum ambulabunt; quasi leo rugiet, quia ipse rugiet, et formidabunt filii maris.
They shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear.
Post Domino ambula; quasi leone rugie, quia ipso rugie, et filios de mari formido.
11Et avolabunt quasi avis ex Ægypto, et quasi columba de terra Assyriorum: et collocabo eos in domibus suis, dicit Dominus.
And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own houses, saith the Lord.
Et avola quasi ave ex Aegypto, et quasi columba de terra de Assyriis: et colloca illos in domos suo, Domino dic.
12Circumdedit me in negatione Ephraim, et in dolo domus Israël; Judas autem testis descendit cum Deo, et cum sanctis fidelis.
Ephraim hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is faithful with the saints.
Circumda me in negatione Ephraeme, et in dolo de domo Israële; iudase autem teste descende cum Deo, et cum sancto fideli.
