Blow ye the trumpet on the hills, sound aloud on the heights: proclaim in the house of On, Benjamin is amazed.
Greek · SeptuagintΣαλπίσατε σάλπιγγι ἐπὶ τοὺς βουνοὺς, ἠχήσατε ἐπὶ τῶν ὑψηλῶν, κηρύξατε ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ὦν, ἐξέστη Βενιαμὶν,
Hebrew / Jewish
Septuagint (Greek Old Testament)
Hosea
Ephraim has come to nought in the days of reproof: in the tribes of Israel I have shown faithful [dealings].
Greek · SeptuagintἘφραὶμ εἰς ἀφανισμὸν ἐγένετο ἐν ἡμέραις ἐλέγχου· ἐν ταῖς φυλαῖς τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἔδειξα πιστά.
The princes of Juda became as they that removed the bounds: I will pour out upon them my fury as water.
Greek · SeptuagintἘγένοντο οἱ ἄρχοντες Ἰούδα ὡς μετατιθέντες ὅρια, ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς ἐκχεῶ ὡς ὕδωρ τὸ ὅρμημά μου.
Ephraim altogether prevailed against his adversary, he trod judgment under foot, for he began to go after vanities.
Greek · SeptuagintΚατεδυνάστευσεν Ἐφραὶμ τὸν ἀντίδικον αὐτοῦ, κατεπάτησε τὸ κρίμα, ὅτι ἤρξατο πορεύεσθαι ὀπίσω τῶν ματαίων.
Therefore I [will be] as consternation to Ephraim, and as a goad to the house of Juda.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγὼ ὡς ταραχὴ τῷ Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ὡς κέντρον τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰούδα.
And Ephraim saw his disease, and Judas his pain; then Ephraim went to the Assyrians, and sent ambassadors to king Jarim: but he could not heal you, and your pain shall in nowise cease from you.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ εἶδεν Ἐφραὶμ τὴν νόσον αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ἰούδας τὴν ὀδύνην αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπορεύθη Ἐφραὶμ πρὸς Ἀσσυρίους, καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρέσβεις πρὸς βασιλέα Ἰαρείμ· καὶ οὗτος οὐκ ἠδυνάσθη ἰάσασθαι ὑμᾶς, καὶ οὐ μὴ διαπαύσῃ ἐξ ὑμῶν ὀδύνη.
Wherefore I am as a panther to Ephraim, and as a lion to the house of Juda: and I will tear, and go away; and I will take, and there shall be none to deliver.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι ἐγώ εἰμι ὡς πανθὴρ τῷ Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ὡς λέων τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰούδα· καὶ ἐγὼ ἁρπῶμαι καὶ πορεύσομαι, καὶ λήψομαι, καὶ οὐκ ἔσται ὁ ἐξαιρούμενος.
I will go and return to my place, until they are brought to nought, and [then] shall they seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me early, saying,
Greek · SeptuagintΠορεύσομαι καὶ ἐπιστρέψω εἰς τὸν τόπον μου, ἕως οὗ ἀφανισθῶσι, καὶ ζητήσουσι τὸ πρόσωπόν μου. Ἐν θλίψει αὐτῶν ὀρθριοῦσι πρὸς μὲ, λέγοντες,
Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will smite, and bind us up.
Greek · Septuagintπορευθῶμεν, καὶ ἐπιστρέψωμεν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν ἡμῶν, ὅτι αὐτὸς ἥρπακε, καὶ ἰάσεται ἡμᾶς· πατάξει,
After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ μοτώσει ἡμᾶς, ὑγιάσει ἡμᾶς μετὰ δύο ἡμέρας· ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τρίτῃ ἐξαναστησόμεθα,
let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ζησόμεθα ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ, καὶ γνωσόμεθα· διώξωμεν τοῦ γνῶναι τὸν Κύριον· ὡς ὄρθρον ἕτοιμον εὑρήσομεν αὐτὸν, καὶ ἥξει ὡς ὑετὸς ἡμῖν πρώϊμος καὶ ὄψιμος γῇ.
What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.
Greek · SeptuagintΤί σοι ποιήσω Ἐφραίμ; τί σοι ποιήσω Ἰούδα; τὸ δὲ ἔλεος ὑμῶν ὡς νεφέλη πρωϊνὴ, καὶ ὡς δρόσος ὀρθρινὴ πορευομένη.
Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιὰ τοῦτο ἀπεθέρισα τοὺς προφήτας ὑμῶν· ἀπέκτεινα αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥήματι στόματός μου· καὶ τὸ κρίμα μου ὡς φῶς ἐξελεύσεται.
For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι ἔλεος θέλω ἢ θυσίαν, καὶ ἐπίγνωσιν Θεοῦ ἢ ὁλοκαυτώματα.
But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:
Greek · SeptuagintΑὐτοὶ δέ εἰσιν ὡς ἄνθρωπος παραβαίνων διαθήκην· ἐκεῖ κατεφρόνησέ μου Γαλαὰδ πόλις,
there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.
Greek · Septuagintἐργαζομένη μάταια, ταράσσουσα ὕδωρ,
And thy strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἡ ἰσχύς σου ἀνδρὸς πειρατοῦ· ἔκρυψαν ἱερεῖς ὁδόν, ἐφόνευσαν Σίκιμα, ὅτι ἀνομίαν ἐποίησαν ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ· εἶδον φρικώδη ἐκεῖ,
I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;
Greek · Septuagintπορνείαν τοῦ Ἐφραίμ· ἐμιάνθη Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα· ἄρχου τρυγᾷν σεαυτῷ,
begin to gather grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people.
Greek · Septuagintἐν τῷ ἐπιστρέφειν με τὴν αἰχμαλωσίαν τοῦ λαοῦ μου.
When I have healed Israel, then shall the iniquity of Ephraim be revealed, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they have wrought falsehood: and a thief shall come in to him, [even] a robber spoiling in his way;
Greek · SeptuagintἘν τῷ ἰάσασθαί με τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἀποκαλυφθήσεται ἡ ἀδικία Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ἡ κακία Σαμαρείας, ὅτι εἰργάσαντο ψευδῆ· καὶ κλέπτης πρὸς αὐτὸν εἰσελεύσεται, ἐκδιδύσκων λῃστὴς ἐν τῇ ὁδῷ αὐτοῦ,
that they may concert together as [men] singing in their heart: I remember all their wickedness: now have their own counsels compassed them about; they came before my face.
Greek · Septuagintὅπως συνᾴδωσιν ὡς ᾄοντες τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτῶν· πάσας τὰς κακίας αὐτῶν ἐμνήσθην· νῦν ἐκύκλωσαν αὐτοὺς τὰ διαβούλια αὐτῶν, ἀπέναντι τοῦ προσώπου μου ἐγένοντο.
They gladdened kings with their wickedness, and princes with their lies.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν ταῖς κακίαις αὐτῶν εὔφραναν βασιλεῖς, καὶ ἐν τοῖς ψεύδεσιν αὐτῶν ἄρχοντας.
They are all adulterers, as an oven glowing with flame for hot-baking, on account of the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Greek · SeptuagintΠάντες μοιχεύοντες ὡς κλίβανος καιόμενος εἰς πέψιν κατακαύματος ἀπὸ τῆς φλογὸς, ἀπὸ φυράσεως στέατος, ἕως τοῦ ζυμωθῆναι αὐτό.
[In] the days of our kings, the princes began to be inflamed with wine: he stretched out his hand with pestilent fellows.
Greek · SeptuagintἩμέραι τῶν βασιλέων ὑμῶν, ἤρξαντο οἱ ἄρχοντες θυμοῦσθαι ἐξ οἴνου, ἐξέτεινε τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ μετὰ λοιμῶν.
Wherefore their hearts are inflamed as an oven, while they rage all the night: Ephraim is satisfied with sleep; the morning is come; he is burnt up as a flame of fire.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι ἀνεκαύθησαν ὡς κλίβανος αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ καταράσσειν αὐτοὺς ὅλην τὴν νύκτα· ὕπνου Ἐφραὶμ ἐνεπλήσθη, πρωῒ ἐνεγενήθη, ἀνεκαύθη ὡς πυρὸς φέγγος.
They are all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings are fallen; there was not among them one that called on me.
Greek · SeptuagintΠάντες ἐθερμάνθησαν ὡς κλίβανος, καὶ κατέφαγον τοὺς κριτὰς αὐτῶν· πάντες οἱ βασιλεῖς αὐτῶν ἔπεσαν, οὐκ ἦν ἐν αὐτοῖς ὁ ἐπικαλούμενος πρὸς μέ.
Ephraim is mixed among his people; Ephraim became a cake not turned.
Greek · SeptuagintἘφραὶμ ἐν τοῖς λαοῖς αὐτοῦ συνεμίγνυτο, Ἐφραὶμ ἐγένετο ἐγκρυφίας, οὐ μεταστρεφόμενος.
Strangers devoured his strength, and he knew [it] not; and grey hairs came upon him, and he knew [it] not.
Greek · SeptuagintΚατέφαγον ἀλλότριοι τὴν ἰσχὺν αὐτοῦ, αὐτὸς δὲ οὐκ ἔγνω· καὶ πολιαὶ ἐξήνθησαν αὐτῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς οὐκ ἔγνω.
And the pride of Israel shall be brought down before his face: yet they have not returned to the Lord their God, neither have they diligently sought him for all this.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ταπεινωθήσεται ἡ ὕβρις Ἰσραὴλ εἰς πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ· καὶ οὐκ ἐπέστρεψαν πρὸς Κύριον τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῶν, καὶ οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν αὐτὸν ἐν πᾶσι τούτοις.
And Ephraim was as a silly dove, not having a heart: he called to Egypt, and they went to the Assyrians.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἦν Ἐφραὶμ ὡς περιστερὰ ἄνους, οὐκ ἔχουσα καρδίαν· Αἴγυπτον ἐπεκαλεῖτο, καὶ εἰς Ἀσσυρίους ἐπορεύθησαν·
Whenever they shall go, I will cast my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the sky, I will chasten them with the rumour of their [coming] affliction.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαθὼς ἂν πορεύωνται, ἐπιβαλῶ ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς τὸ δίκτυόν μου, καθὼς τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ κατάξω αὐτοὺς, παιδεύσω αὐτοὺς ἐν τῇ ἀκοῇ τῆς θλίψεως αὐτῶν.
Woe to them! for they have started aside from me: they are cowards; for they have sinned against me: yet I redeemed them, but they spoke falsehoods against me.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐαὶ αὐτοῖς, ὅτι ἀπεπήδησαν ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ· δείλαιοί εἰσιν, ὅτι ἠσέβησαν εἰς ἐμέ· ἐγὼ δὲ ἐλυτρωσάμην αὐτοὺς, αὐτοὶ δὲ κατελάλησαν κατʼ ἐμοῦ ψευδῆ.
And their hearts did not cry to me, but they howled on their beds: they pined for oil and wine.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ οὐκ ἐβόησαν πρὸς μὲ αἱ καρδίαι αὐτῶν, ἀλλʼ ἢ ὠλόλυζον ἐν ταῖς κοίταις αὐτῶν· ἐπὶ σίτῳ καὶ οἴνῳ κατετέμνοντο.
They were instructed by me, and I strengthened their arms; and they devised evils against me.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπαιδεύθησαν ἐν ἐμοὶ, κᾀγὼ κατίσχυσα τοὺς βραχίονας αὐτῶν, καὶ εἰς ἐμὲ ἐλογίσαντο πονηρά.
They turned aside to that which is not, they became as a bent bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, by reason of the unbridled state of their tongue: this is their setting at nought in the land of Egypt.
Greek · SeptuagintἈπεστράφησαν εἰς οὐδὲν, ἐγένοντο ὡς τόξον ἐντεταμένον· πεσοῦνται ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν διʼ ἀπαιδευσίαν γλώσσης αὐτῶν· οὗτος ὁ φαυλισμὸς αὐτῶν ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ.
[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.
Greek · SeptuagintΕἰς κόλπον αὐτῶν, ὡς γῆ, ὡς ἀετὸς ἐπʼ οἶκον Κυρίου, ἀνθʼ ὧν παρέβησαν τὴν διαθήκην μου, καὶ κατὰ τοῦ νόμου μου ἠσέβησαν.
They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know thee.
Greek · SeptuagintἘμὲ κεκράξονται, ὁ Θεὸς, ἐγνώκαμέν σε·
For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι Ἰσραὴλ ἀπεστρέψατο ἀγαθὰ, ἐχθρὸν κατεδίωξαν.
They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.
Greek · SeptuagintἙαυτοῖς ἐβασίλευσαν, καὶ οὐ διʼ ἐμοῦ, ἦρξαν, καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώρισάν μοι· τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῶν καὶ τὸ χρυσίον αὐτῶν ἐποίησαν ἑαυτοῖς εἴδωλα, ὅπως ἐξολοθρευθῶσιν.
Cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?
Greek · SeptuagintἈπότριψαι τὸν μόσχον σου Σαμάρεια, παρωξύνθη ὁ θυμός μου ἐπʼ αὐτούς· ἕως τίνος οὐ μὴ δύνωνται καθαρισθῆναι
Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; wherefore thy calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:
Greek · Septuagintἐν τῷ Ἰσραήλ; καὶ αὐτὸ τέκτων ἐποίησε, καὶ οὐ Θεός ἐστι· διότι πλανῶν ἦν ὁ μόσχος σου, Σαμάρεια.
for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἀνεμόφθορα ἔσπειραν, καὶ ἡ καταστροφὴ αὐτῶν ἐκδέξεται αὐτά· δράγμα οὐκ ἔχον ἰσχὺν τοῦ ποιῆσαι ἄλευρον· ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ποιήσῃ, ἀλλότριοι καταφάγονται αὐτό.
Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚατεπόθη Ἰσραὴλ, νῦν ἐγένετο ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν ὡς σκεῦος ἄχρηστον,
For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.
Greek · Septuagintὅτι αὐτοὶ ἀνέβησαν εἰς Ἀσσυρίους· ἀνέθαλε καθʼ ἑαυτὸν Ἐφραίμ· δῶρα ἠγάπησαν,
Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.
Greek · Septuagintδιὰ τοῦτο παραδοθήσονται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσι· νῦν εἰσδέξομαι αὐτοὺς, καὶ κοπάσουσι μικρὸν τοῦ χρίειν βασιλέα καὶ ἄρχοντας.
Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.
Greek · SeptuagintὍτι ἐπλήθυνεν Ἐφραὶμ θυσιαστήρια, εἰς ἁμαρτίας ἐγένοντο αὐτῷ θυσιαστήρια ἠγαπημένα.
I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαταγράψω αὐτῷ πλῆθος, καὶ τὰ νόμιμα αὐτοῦ εἰς ἀλλότρια ἐλογίσθησαν, θυσιαστήρια τὰ ἠγαπημένα.
For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the Lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι ἐὰν θύσωσι θυσίαν, καὶ φάγωσι κρέα, Κύριος οὐ προσδέξεται αὐτά· νῦν μνησθήσεται τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκδικήσει τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν· αὐτοὶ εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἀπέστρεψαν, καὶ ἐν Ἀσσυρίοις ἀκάθαρτα φάγονται.
And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐπελάθετο Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ποιήσαντος αὐτόν, καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν τεμένη· καὶ Ἰούδας ἐπλήθυνε πόλεις τετειχισμένας· καὶ ἐξαποστελῶ πῦρ εἰς τὰς πόλεις αὐτοῦ, καὶ καταφάγεται τὰ θεμέλια αὐτῶν.
Rejoice not, O Israel, neither make merry, as [other] nations: for thou hast gone a-whoring from thy God; thou hast loved gifts upon every threshing-floor.
Greek · SeptuagintΜὴ χαῖρε Ἰσραήλ, μηδὲ εὐφραίνου καθὼς οἱ λαοὶ, διότι ἐπόρνευσας ἀπὸ τοῦ Θεοῦ σου· ἠγάπησας δόματα ἐπὶ πάντα ἅλωνα σίτου.
The threshing-floor and wine-press knew them not, and the wine disappointed them.
Greek · SeptuagintἍλων καὶ ληνὸς οὐκ ἔγνω αὐτούς, καὶ ὁ οἶνος ἐψεύσατο αὐτούς.
They dwelt not in the Lord's land: Ephraim dwelt in Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ κατῴκησαν ἐν τῇ γῇ τοῦ Κυρίου· κατῴκησεν Ἐφραὶμ Αἴγυπτον, καὶ ἐν Ἀσσυρίοις ἀκάθαρτα φάγονται.
They have not offered wine to the Lord, neither have their sacrifices been sweet to him, [but] as the bread of mourning to them; all that eat them shall be defiled; for their bread for their soul shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐκ ἔσπεισαν τῷ Κυρίῳ οἶνον, καὶ οὐχ ἥδυναν αὐτῷ αἱ θυσίαι αὐτῶν, ὡς ἄρτος πένθους αὐτοῖς· πάντες οἱ ἐσθίοντες αὐτὰ μιανθήσονται, διότι οἱ ἄρτοι αὐτῶν ταῖς ψυχαῖς αὐτῶν οὐκ εἰσελεύσονται εἰς τὸν οἶκον Κυρίου.
What will ye do in the day of the general assembly, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
Greek · SeptuagintΤί ποιήσετε ἐν ἡμέραις πανηγύρεως, καὶ ἐν ἡμέρᾳ ἑορτῆς τοῦ Κυρίου;
Therefore, behold, they go forth from the trouble of Egypt, and Memphis shall receive them, and Machmas shall bury them: [as for] their silver, destruction shall inherit it; thorns [shall be] in their tents.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ πορεύονται ἐκ ταλαιπωρίας Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἐκδέξεται αὐτοὺς Μέμφις, καὶ θάψει αὐτοὺς Μαχμάς· τὸ ἀργύριον αὐτῶν ὄλεθρος κληρονομήσει αὐτὸ, ἄκανθαι ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν αὐτῶν.
The days of vengeance are come, the days of thy recompense are come; and Israel shall be afflicted as the prophet that is mad, as a man deranged: by reason of the multitude of thine iniquities thy madness has abounded.
Greek · SeptuagintἭκασιν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς ἐκδικήσεως, ἥκασιν αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς ἀνταποδόσεώς σου, καὶ κακωθήσεται Ἰσραὴλ ὥσπερ ὁ προφήτης ὁ παρεξεστηκώς, ἄνθρωπος ὁ πνευματοφόρος· ὑπὸ τοῦ πλήθους τῶν ἀδικιῶν σου ἐπληθύνθη μανία σου.
The watchman of Ephraim [was] with God: the prophet is a crooked snare in all his ways: they have established madness in the house of God.
Greek · SeptuagintΣκοπὸς Ἐφραὶμ μετὰ Θεοῦ· προφήτης παγὶς σκολιὰ ἐπὶ πάσας τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, μανίαν ἐν οἴκῳ Θεοῦ κατέπηξαν.
They have corrupted themselves according to the days of the hill: he will remember their iniquities, he will take vengeance on their sins.
Greek · SeptuagintἘφθάρησαν κατὰ τὰς ἡμέρας τοῦ βουνοῦ, μνησθήσεται ἀδικίας αὐτῶν, ἐκδικήσει ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness, and I saw their fathers as an early watchman in a fig-tree: they went in to Beel-phegor, and were shamefully estranged, and the abominable became as the beloved.
Greek · SeptuagintὩς σταφυλὴν ἐν ἐρήμῳ εὗρον τὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ὡς σκοπὸν ἐν συκῇ πρώϊμον πατέρας αὐτῶν εἶδον· αὐτοὶ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς τὸν Βεελφεγὼρ, καὶ ἀπηλλοτριώθησαν εἰς αἰσχύνην, καὶ ἐγένοντο οἱ ἐβδελυγμένοι ὡς οἱ ἠγαπημένοι.
Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception.
Greek · SeptuagintἘφραὶμ ὡς ὄρνεον ἐξεπετάσθη, αἱ δόξαι αὐτῶν ἐκ τόκων καὶ ὠδίνων καὶ συλλήψεων·
For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved: wherefore also there is woe to them, [though] my flesh is of them.
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι καὶ ἐὰν ἐκθρέψωσι τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, ἀτεκνωθήσονται ἐξ ἀνθρώπων· διότι καὶ οὐαὶ αὐτοῖς ἐστι· σάρξ μου ἐξ αὐτῶν.
Ephraim, [even] as I saw, gave their children for a prey; yea, Ephraim [was ready] to bring out his children to slaughter.
Greek · SeptuagintἘφραὶμ, ὃν τρόπον εἶδον, εἰς θήραν παρέστησαν τὰ τέκνα αὐτῶν, καὶ Ἐφραὶμ, τοῦ ἐξαγαγεῖν εἰς ἀποκέντησιν τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ.
Give them, O Lord: what wilt thou give them? a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
Greek · SeptuagintΔὸς αὐτοῖς Κύριε, τί δώσεις αὐτοῖς; μήτραν ἀτεκνοῦσαν, καὶ μαστοὺς ξηρούς.
All their wickedness is in Galgal: for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their practices, I will cast them out of my house, I will not love them any more: all their princes are disobedient.
Greek · SeptuagintΠᾶσαι αἱ κακίαι αὐτῶν ἐν Γαλγάλ, ὅτι ἐκεῖ ἐμίσησα αὐτούς· διὰ τὰς κακίας τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτῶν, ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου μου ἐκβαλῶ αὐτοὺς, οὐ μὴ προσθήσω τοῦ ἀγαπῆσαι αὐτούς· πάντες οἱ ἄρχοντες αὐτῶν ἀπειθοῦντες.
Ephraim is sick, he is dried up at his roots, he shall in no wise any more bear fruit: wherefore even if they should beget [children], I will kill the desired [fruit] of their womb.
Greek · SeptuagintἘπόνεσεν Ἐφραίμ· τὰς ῥίζας αὐτοῦ ἐξηράνθη, καρπὸν οὐκ ἔτι μὴ ἐνέγκῃ· διότι καὶ ἐὰν γεννήσωσιν, ἀποκτενῶ τὰ ἐπιθυμήματα κοιλίας αὐτῶν.
God shall reject them, because they have not hearkened to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Greek · SeptuagintἈπώσεται αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεός, ὅτι οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἔσονται πλανῆται ἐν τοῖς ἔθνεσιν.
Israel is a vine with goodly branches, her fruit is abundant: according to the multitude of her fruits she has multiplied [her] altars; according to the wealth of his land, he has set up pillars.
Greek · SeptuagintἌμπελος εὐκηματοῦσα Ἰσραὴλ, ὁ καρπὸς εὐθηνῶν αὐτῆς· κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῆς, ἐπλήθυνε τὰ θυσιαστήρια· κατὰ τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ, ᾠκοδόμησε στήλας.
They have divided their hearts; now shall they be utterly destroyed: he shall dig down their altars, their pillars shall mourn.
Greek · SeptuagintἘμέρισαν καρδίας αὐτῶν, νῦν ἀφανισθήσονται· αὐτὸς κατασκάψει τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτῶν, ταλαιπωρήσουσιν αἱ στῆλαι αὐτῶν.
Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord:
Greek · SeptuagintΔιότι νῦν ἐροῦσιν, οὐκ ἔστι βασιλεὺς ἡμῖν, ὅτι οὐκ ἐφοβήθημεν τὸν Κύριον· ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς τί ποιήσει ἡμῖν,
and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions [as his] words? he will make a covenant: judgment shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field.
Greek · Septuagintλαλῶν ῥήματα προφάσεις ψευδεῖς; διαθήσεται διαθήκην, ἀνατελεῖ ὡς ἄγρωστις κρίμα ἐπὶ χέρσον ἀγροῦ.
The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of On; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them.
Greek · SeptuagintΤῷ μόσχῳ τοῦ οἴκου Ὦν παροικήσουσιν οἱ κατοικοῦντες Σαμάρειαν, ὅτι ἐπένθησε λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτόν· καὶ καθὼς παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν, ἐπιχαροῦνται ἐπὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι μετῳκίσθη ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
And having bound it for the Assyrians, they carried it away as presents to king Jarim: Ephraim shall receive a gift, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ αὐτὸν εἰς Ἀσσυρίους δήσαντες, ἀπήνεγκαν ξένια τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰαρείμ· ἐν δόματι Ἐφραὶμ δέξεται, καὶ αἰσχυνθήσεται Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ βουλῇ αὐτοῦ.
Samaria has cast off her king as a twig on the surface of the water.
Greek · SeptuagintἈπέῤῥιψεν Σαμάρεια βασιλέα αὐτῆς ὡς φρύγανον ἐπὶ προσώπου ὕδατος·
And the altars of On, the sins of Israel, shall be taken away: thorns and thistles shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξαρθήσονται βωμοὶ Ὦν ἁμαρτήματα τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἄκανθαι καὶ τρίβολοι ἀναβήσονται ἐπὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐροῦσι τοῖς ὄρεσι, καλύψατε ἡμᾶς, καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, πέσατε ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς.
From the time the hills [existed] Israel has sinned: there they stood: war [waged] against the children of iniquity
Greek · SeptuagintἈφʼ οὗ οἱ βουνοὶ, ἥμαρτεν Ἰσραήλ, ἐκεῖ ἔστησαν· οὐ μὴ καταλάβῃ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ βουνῷ πόλεμος ἐπὶ τὰ τὲκνα ἀδικίας
to chastise them shall not overtake them on the hill, the nations shall be gathered against them, when they are chastened for their two sins.
Greek · Septuagintπαιδεῦσαι αὐτούς· καὶ συναχθήσονται ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς λαοὶ, ἐν τῷ παιδεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς δυσὶν ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν.
Ephraim is a heifer taught to love victory, but I will come upon the fairest part of her neck: I will mount Ephraim; I will pass over Juda in silence; Jacob shall prevail against him.
Greek · SeptuagintἘφραὶμ δάμαλις δεδιδαγμένη ἀγαπᾷν νῖκος, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπελεύσομαι ἐπὶ τὸ κάλλιστον τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτῆς· ἐπιβιβῶ Ἐφραὶμ, παρασιωπήσομαι Ἰούδαν, ἐνισχύσει αὐτῷ Ἰακώβ.
Sow to yourselves for righteousness, gather in for the fruit of life: light ye for yourselves the light of knowledge; seek the Lord till the fruits of righteousness come upon you.
Greek · SeptuagintΣπείρατε ἑαυτοῖς εἰς δικαιοσύνην, τρυγήσατε εἰς καρπὸν ζωῆς, φωτίσατε ἑαυτοῖς φῶς γνώσεως, ἐκζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν γεννήματα δικαιοσύνης ὑμῖν.
Wherefore have ye passed over ungodliness in silence, and reaped the sins of it? ye have eaten false fruit; for thou hast trusted in thy sins, in the abundance of thy power.
Greek · SeptuagintἹνατί παρεσιωπήσατε ἀσέβειαν, καὶ τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῆς ἐτρυγήσατε; ἐφάγετε καρπὸν ψευδῆ, ὅτι ἤλπισας ἐν τοῖς ἁμαρτήμασί σου, ἐν πλήθει δυνάμεώς σου.
Therefore shall destruction rise up among thy people, and all thy strong places shall be ruined: as prince Solomon [departed] out of the house of Jeroboam, in the days of battle they dashed the mother to the ground upon the children,
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐξαναστήσεται ἀπώλεια ἐν τῷ λαῷ σου, καὶ πάντα τὰ περιτετειχισμένα σου οἰχήσεται· ὡς ἄρχεν Σαλαμὰν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Ἱεροβοὰμ, ἐν ἡμέραις πολέμου μητέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις ἠδάφισαν,
thus will I do to you, O house of Israel, because of the unrighteousness of your sins.
Greek · Septuagintοὕτως ποιήσω ὑμῖν οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀδικίας κακιῶν ὑμῶν.
Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
Greek · SeptuagintὌρθρου ἀπεῤῥίφησαν, ἀπεῤῥίφη βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ· ὅτι νήπιος Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἠγάπησα αὐτόν, καὶ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου μετεκάλεσα τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ.
As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαθὼς μετεκάλεσα αὐτούς, οὕτως ἀπῴχοντο ἐκ προσώπου μου· αὐτοὶ τοῖς Βααλεὶμ ἔθυον, καὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς ἐθυμίων.
Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐγὼ συνεπόδισα τὸν Ἐφραὶμ, ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονά μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι ἴαμαι αὐτούς.
When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man smiting [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν διαφθορᾷ ἀνθρώπων ἐξέτεινα αὐτοὺς ἐν δεσμοῖς ἀγαπήσεώς μου, καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς ὡς ῥαπίζων ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τὰς σιαγόνας αὐτοῦ· καὶ ἐπιβλέψομαι πρὸς αὐτόν, δυνήσομαι αὐτῷ.
Ephraim dwelt in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
Greek · SeptuagintΚατῴκησεν Ἐφραὶμ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ Ἀσσοὺρ αὐτὸς βασιλεὺς αὐτοῦ· ὅτι οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐπιστρέψαι,
And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ἠσθένησεν ἐν ῥομφαίᾳ ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ· καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ φάγονται ἐκ τῶν διαβουλίων αὐτῶν,
and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
Greek · Septuagintκαὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπικρεμάμενος ἐκ τῆς κατοικίας αὐτοῦ· καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἐπὶ τὰ τίμια αὐτοῦ θυμωθήσεται, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑψώσῃ αὐτόν.
How shall I deal with thee, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect thee, Israel? what shall I do with thee? I will make thee as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
Greek · SeptuagintΤί σε διαθῶμαι Ἐφραίμ; ὑπερασπιῶ σου Ἰσραήλ; τί σε διαθῶ; ὡς Ἀδάμα θήσομαί σε, καὶ ὡς Σεβοείμ· μετεστράφη ἡ καρδία μου ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ, συνεταράχθη ἡ μεταμέλειά μου·
I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within thee: and I will not enter into the city.
Greek · SeptuagintΟὐ μὴ ποιήσω κατὰ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ θυμοῦ μου· οὐ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπω τοῦ ἐξαλειφθῆναι τὸν Ἐφραὶμ· διότι Θεὸς ἐγώ εἰμι, καὶ οὐκ ἄνθρωπος, ἐν σοὶ ἅγιος, καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς πόλιν.
I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
Greek · SeptuagintὈπίσω Κυρίου πορεύσομαι· ὡς λέων ἐρεύξεται, ὅτι αὐτὸς ὠρύσεται, καὶ ἐκστήσονται τέκνα ὑδάτων.
They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, saith the Lord.
Greek · SeptuagintἘκστήσονται ὡς ὄρνεον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ὡς περιστερὰ ἐκ γῆς Ἀσσυρίων· καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν, λέγει Κύριος.
Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
Greek · SeptuagintἘκύκλωσέ με ἐν ψεύδει Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ ἐν ἀσεβείαις οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ Ἰούδα· νῦν ἔγνω αὐτοὺς ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ ὁ λαὸς ἅγιος κεκλήσεται Θεοῦ.
But Ephraim is an evil spirit, he has chased the east wind all the day: he has multiplied empty and vain things, and made a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil has gone in the way of traffic into Egypt.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ δὲ Ἐφραὶμ πονηρὸν πνεῦμα, ἐδίωξε καύσωνα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν· κενὰ καὶ μάταια ἐπλήθυνε, καὶ διαθήκην μετὰ Ἀσσυρίων διέθετο, καὶ ἔλαιον εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐνεπορεύετο.
And the Lord [has] a controversy with Juda, in order to punish Jacob: according to his ways and according to his practices will he recompense him.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ κρίσις τῷ Κυρίῳ πρὸς Ἰούδαν, τοῦ ἐκδικῆσαι τὸν Ἰακώβ· κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ.
He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his labours he had power with God.
Greek · SeptuagintἘν τῇ κοιλίᾳ ἐπτέρνισε τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν κόποις αὐτοῦ ἐνίσχυσε πρὸς Θεόν.
And he prevailed with the angel and was strong: they wept, and intreated me: they found me in the house of On, and there [a word] was spoken to them.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ ἐνίσχυσε μετὰ ἀγγέλου, καὶ ἠδυνάσθη· ἔκλαυσαν, καὶ ἐδεήθησάν μου· ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ὦν εὕροσάν με, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐλαλήθη πρὸς αὐτούς.
But the Lord God Almighty shall be his memorial.
Greek · SeptuagintὉ δὲ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ἔσται μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ.
Thou therefore shalt return to thy God: keep thou mercy and judgment, and draw nigh to thy God continually.
Greek · SeptuagintΚαὶ σὺ ἐν Θεῷ σου ἐπιστρέψεις, ἔλεον καὶ κρίμα φυλάσσου, καὶ ἔγγιζε πρὸς τὸν Θεόν σου διαπαντός.
[As for] Chanaan, in his hand is a balance of unrighteousness: he has loved to tyrannise.
Greek · SeptuagintΧαναὰν, ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ζυγὸς ἀδικίας, καταδυναστεύειν ἠγάπησε.
