Hosea 12

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.

Ἐκύκλωσέ 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.

Ὁ 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.

Καὶ 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.

Ἐν 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.

Καὶ 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.

Ὁ 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.

Καὶ 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.

Χαναὰν, ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ζυγὸς ἀδικίας, καταδυναστεύειν ἠγάπησε.

And Ephraim said, Nevertheless I am rich, I have found refreshment to myself. None of his labours shall be found available to him, by reason of the sins which he has committed.

Καὶ εἶπεν Ἐφραὶμ, πλὴν πεπλούτηκα, εὕρηκα ἀναψυχὴν ἐμαυτῷ· πάντες οἱ πόνοι αὐτοῦ οὐχ εὑρεθήσονται αὐτῷ, διʼ ἀδικίας ἃς ἥμαρτεν.

But I the Lord thy God brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: I will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, according to the days of the feast.

Ἐγὼ δὲ Κύριος ὁ Θεός σου ἀνήγαγόν σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἔτι κατοικιῶ σε ἐν σκηναῖς, καθὼς ἡμέραι ἑορτῆς.

And I will speak to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and by the means of the prophets I was represented.

Καὶ λαλήσω πρὸς προφήτας, καὶ ἐγὼ ὁράσεις ἐπλήθυνα, καὶ ἐν χερσὶ προφητῶν ὡμοιώθην.

If Galaad exists not, then the chiefs in Galaad when they sacrificed were false, and their altars were as heaps on the ground of the field.

Εἰ μὴ Γαλαάδ ἐστιν, ἄρα ψευδεῖς ἦσαν ἐν Γαλαὰδ ἄρχοντες θυσιάζοντες, καὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτῶν, ὡς χελῶναι ἐπὶ χέρσον ἀγροῦ.

And Jacob retreated into the plain of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and waited for a wife.

Καὶ ἀνεχώρησεν Ἰακὼβ εἰς πεδίον Συρίας, καὶ ἐδούλευσεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν γυναικὶ, καὶ γυναικὶ ἐφυλάξατο.

And the Lord brought Israel out of the land of Egypt by a prophet, and by a prophet was he preserved.

Καὶ ἐν προφήτῃ ἀνήγαγεν Κύριος τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἐν προφήτῃ διεφυλάχθη.

Ephraim was angry and excited, therefore his blood shall be poured out upon him, and the Lord shall recompense to him his reproach.

Ἐθύμωσεν Ἐφραὶμ, καὶ παρώργισε, καὶ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἐκχυθήσεται, καὶ τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσει Κύριος αὐτῷ.
