Hosea 12

DOUAI-RHEIMS	GREEK BIBLE
1 Ephraim feedeth on the wind, and followeth the burning heat: all the day long he multiplied lies and desolation: and he hath made a covenant with the Assyrians, and carried oil into Egypt.	1 Ο Εφραιμ βοσκεται ανεμον και κυνηγει τον ανατολικον ανεμον? καθ' ημεραν πληθυνει ψευδη και ολεθρον καμνουσι δε συνθηκην μετα των Ασσυριων και φερουσιν ελαιον εις την Αιγυπτον.
2 Therefore there is a judgment of the Lord with Juda, and a visitation for Jacob: he will render to him according to his ways, and according to his devices.	2 Ο Κυριος εχει ετι κρισιν μετα του Ιουδα, και θελει επισκεφθη τον Ιακωβ κατα τας οδους αυτου? κατα τας πραξεις αυτου θελει ανταποδωσει εις αυτον.
3 In the womb he supplanted his brother: and by his strength he had success with an angel.	3 Εν τη κοιλια επτερνισε τον αδελφον αυτου και εν τη ανδρικη ηλικια αυτου ενισχυσε προς τον Θεον.
4 And he prevailed over the angel, and was strengthened: he wept, and made supplication to him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spoke with us.	4 Ναι, ενισχυσε μετα αγγελου και υπερισχυσεν? εκλαυσε και εδεηθη αυτου? εν Βαιθηλ ευρηκεν αυτον, και εκει ελαλησε προς ημας?
5 Even the Lord the God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.	5 ναι, Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων, ο Κυριος ειναι το μνημοσυνον αυτου.
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God : keep mercy and judgment, and hope in thy God always.	6 Δια τουτο συ επιστρεψον προς τον Θεον σου? φυλαττε ελεος και κρισιν και ελπιζε επι τον Θεον σου δια παντος.
7 He is like Chanaan, there is a deceitful balance in his hand, he hath loved oppression.	7 Ο Εφραιμ ειναι εμπορος? ζυγια απατης ειναι εν τη χειρι αυτου? αγαπα να αδικη.
8 And Ephraim said: But yet I am become rich, I have found me an idol: all my labours shall not find me the iniquity that I have committed.	8 Και ο Εφραιμ ειπε, Βεβαιως εγω επλουτησα, απεκτησα υπαρχοντα εις εμαυτον? εν πασι τοις κοποις μου δεν θελει ευρεθη εν εμοι ανομια, ητις να λογιζηται αμαρτια.
9 And I that am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt, will yet cause thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the feast.	9 Εγω δε ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σου εκ γης Αιγυπτου, θελω σε κατοικισει ετι εν σκηναις ως εν ημεραις επισημου εορτης.
10 And I have spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used similitudes by the ministry of the prophets.	10 Ελαλησα ετι δια προφητων και ορασεις επληθυνα εγω, και παρεστησα ομοιωσεις δια χειρος των προφητων.
11 If Galaad be an idol, then in vain were they in Galgal offering sacrifices with bullocks: for their altars also are as heaps in the furrows of the field.	11 Εν Γαλααδ ταχα υπηρξεν ανομια; εν Γαλγαλοις μαλιστα εσταθησαν ματαιοτης? θυσιαζουσι ταυρους, και τα θυσιαστηρια αυτων ειναι ως σωροι εν ταις αυλαξι των αγρων.
12 Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and was a keeper for a wife.	12 Ο δε Ιακωβ εφυγεν εις την γην της Συριας και ο Ισραηλ εδουλευσε δια γυναικα και δια γυναικα εφυλαξε προβατα.
13 But the Lord by a prophet brought Israel out of Egypt: and he was preserved by a prophet.	13 Και δια προφητου ανεβιβασεν ο Κυριος τον Ισραηλ εξ Αιγυπτου και δια προφητου διεφυλαχθη.
14 Ephraim hath provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood shall come upon him, and his Lord will render his reproach unto him.	14 Ο Εφραιμ παρωξυνεν αυτον πικροτατα? δια τουτο θελει εκχεει το αιμα αυτου επ' αυτον και τον ονειδισμον αυτου ο Κυριος αυτου θελει επιστρεψει επ' αυτον.
