Hosea 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	GREEK BIBLE
1 Samaria shall expiate her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed to pieces, their expectant mothers shall be ripped open.	1 Ισραηλ, επιστρεψον προς Κυριον τον Θεον σου, διοτι επεσας δια της ανομιας σου.
2 Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God; you have collapsed through your guilt.	2 Λαβετε μεθ' εαυτων λογους και επιστρεψατε προς τον Κυριον? ειπατε προς αυτον, Αφαιρεσον πασαν ανομιαν ημων και δεχθητι ημας ευμενως, και θελομεν αποδωσει τον καρπον των χειλεων ημων?
3 Take with you words, and return to the LORD; Say to him, "Forgive all iniquity, and receive what is good, that we may render as offerings the bullocks from our stalls.	3 ο Ασσουρ δεν θελει μας σωσει? δεν θελομεν αναβη εφ' ιππους? και δεν θελομεν ειπει πλεον προς το εργον των χειρων ημων, Εισθε θεοι ημων? διοτι εν σοι θελει ελεηθη ο ορφανος.
4 Assyria will not save us, nor shall we have horses to mount; We shall say no more, 'Our god,' to the work of our hands; for in you the orphan finds compassion."	4 Θελω ιατρευσει την αποστασιαν αυτων, θελω αγαπησει αυτους εγκαρδιως? διοτι ο θυμος μου απεστραφη απ' αυτου.
5 I will heal their defection, I will love them freely; for my wrath is turned away from them.	5 Θελω εισθαι ως δροσος εις τον Ισραηλ? ως κρινον θελει ανθησει και θελει εκτεινει τας ριζας αυτου ως δενδρον του Λιβανου.
6 I will be like the dew for Israel: he shall blossom like the lily; He shall strike root like the Lebanon cedar,	6 Οι κλαδοι αυτου θελουσιν εξαπλωθη και η δοξα αυτου θελει εισθαι ως ελαιας και η οσμη αυτου ως του Λιβανου.
7 and put forth his shoots. His splendor shall be like the olive tree and his fragrance like the Lebanon cedar.	7 Θελουσιν επιστρεψει και καθησει υπο την σκιαν αυτου? θελουσιν αναζησει ως σιτος και ανθησει ως αμπελος? η μνημη αυτου θελει εισθαι ως οινος Λιβανου.
8 Again they shall dwell in his shade and raise grain; They shall blossom like the vine, and his fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.	8 Ο Εφραιμ θελει ειπει, Τι εχω να καμω πλεον μετα των ειδωλων; Εγω ηκουσα και θελω παραφυλαξει αυτον? εγω ειμαι εις αυτον ως ελατη ευθαλης? απ' εμου ο καρπος σου θελει προελθει.
9 Ephraim! What more has he to do with idols? I have humbled him, but I will prosper him. "I am like a verdant cypress tree"-- Because of me you bear fruit!	9 Τις ειναι σοφος και θελει εννοησει ταυτα, συνετος και θελει γνωρισει αυτα; διοτι ευθειαι ειναι αι οδοι του Κυριου, και οι δικαιοι θελουσι περιπατει εν αυταις? οι δε παραβαται θελουσι πεσει εν αυταις.
10 Let him who is wise understand these things; let him who is prudent know them. Straight are the paths of the LORD, in them the just walk, but sinners stumble in them.
