1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.

1 Noli lætari, Israël;
noli exsultare sicut populi:
quia fornicatus es a Deo tuo;
dilexisti mercedem super omnes areas tritici.

2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

2 Area et torcular non pascet eos,
et vinum mentietur eis:

3 They shall not dwell in the Lord's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

3 non habitabunt in terra Domini.
Reversus est Ephraim in Ægyptum,
et in Assyriis pollutum comedit.

4 They shall not offer wine offerings to the Lord, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the Lord.

4 Non libabunt Domino vinum,
et non placebunt ei.
Sacrificia eorum quasi panis lugentium;
omnes qui comedent eum, contaminabuntur:
quia panis eorum animæ ipsorum:
non intrabit in domum Domini.

5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?

5 Quid facietis in die solemni,
in die festivitatis Domini?

6 For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

6 Ecce enim profecti sunt a vastitate:
Ægyptus congregabit eos;
Memphis sepeliet eos:
desiderabile argentum eorum urtica hæreditabit,
lappa in tabernaculis eorum.

7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.

7 Venerunt dies visitationis,
venerunt dies retributionis.
Scitote, Israël,
stultum prophetam,
insanum virum spiritualem,
propter multitudinem iniquitatis tuæ,
et multitudinem amentiæ.

8 The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

8 Speculator Ephraim cum Deo meo,
propheta laqueus ruinæ factus est super omnes vias ejus;
insania in domo Dei ejus.

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

9 Profunde peccaverunt, sicut in diebus Gabaa.
Recordabitur iniquitatis eorum,
et visitabit peccata eorum.

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

10 Quasi uvas in deserto inveni Israël,
quasi prima poma ficulneæ in cacumine ejus vidi patres eorum:
ipsi autem intraverunt ad Beelphegor,
et abalienati sunt in confusionem,
et facti sunt abominabiles sicut ea quæ dilexerunt.

11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

11 Ephraim quasi avis avolavit;
gloria eorum a partu, et ab utero, et a conceptu.

12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

12 Quod etsi enutrierint filios suos,
absque liberis eos faciam in hominibus;
sed et væ eis cum recessero ab eis!

13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

13 Ephraim, ut vidi, Tyrus erat fundata in pulchritudine;
et Ephraim educet ad interfectorem filios suos.

14 Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb 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 there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

15 Omnes nequitiæ eorum in Galgal,
quia ibi exosos habui eos.
Propter malitiam adinventionum eorum,
de domo mea ejiciam eos;
non addam ut diligam eos:
omnes principes eorum recedentes.

16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

16 Percussus est Ephraim;
radix eorum exsiccata est:
fructum nequaquam facient,
quod etsi genuerint,
interficiam amantissima uteri eorum.

17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

17 Abjiciet eos Deus meus, quia non audierunt eum,
et erunt vagi in nationibus.
