ΩΣΗΕ - Osea - Hosea 12

GREEK BIBLE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
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.	1 Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, the house of Israel, with deceit; Judah is still rebellious against God, against the Holy One, who is faithful.
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.	2 Ephraim chases the wind, ever pursuing the gale. His lies and falsehoods are many: he comes to terms with Assyria, and carries oil to Egypt.
3 Εν τη κοιλια επτερνισε τον αδελφον αυτου και εν τη ανδρικη ηλικια αυτου ενισχυσε προς τον Θεον.	3 The LORD has a grievance against Israel: he shall punish Jacob for his conduct, for his deeds he shall repay him.
4 Ναι, ενισχυσε μετα αγγελου και υπερισχυσεν? εκλαυσε και εδεηθη αυτου? εν Βαιθηλ ευρηκεν αυτον, και εκει ελαλησε προς ημας?	4 In the womb he supplanted his brother, and as a man he contended with God;
5 ναι, Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων, ο Κυριος ειναι το μνημοσυνον αυτου.	5 He contended with the angel and triumphed, entreating him with tears. At Bethel he met God and there he spoke with him:
6 Δια τουτο συ επιστρεψον προς τον Θεον σου? φυλαττε ελεος και κρισιν και ελπιζε επι τον Θεον σου δια παντος.	6 The LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD is his name!
7 Ο Εφραιμ ειναι εμπορος? ζυγια απατης ειναι εν τη χειρι αυτου? αγαπα να αδικη.	7 You shall return by the help of your God, if you remain loyal and do right and always hope in your God.
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.	8 A merchant who holds a false balance, who loves to defraud!
9 Εγω δε ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σου εκ γης Αιγυπτου, θελω σε κατοικισει ετι εν σκηναις ως εν ημεραις επισημου εορτης.	9 Though Ephraim says, "How rich I have become; I have made a fortune!" All his gain shall not suffice him for the guilt of his sin.
10 Ελαλησα ετι δια προφητων και ορασεις επληθυνα εγω, και παρεστησα ομοιωσεις δια χειρος των προφητων.	10 I am the LORD, your God, since the land of Egypt; I will again have you live in tents, as in that appointed time.
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.	11 I granted many visions and spoke to the prophets, through whom I set forth examples.
12 Ο δε Ιακωβ εφυγεν εις την γην της Συριας και ο Ισραηλ εδουλευσε δια γυναικα και δια γυναικα εφυλαξε προβατα.	12 In Gilead is falsehood, they have come to nought, in Gilgal they sacrifice to bullocks; Their altars are like heaps of stones in the furrows of the field.
13 Και δια προφητου ανεβιβασεν ο Κυριος τον Ισραηλ εξ Αιγυπτου και δια προφητου διεφυλαχθη.	13 When Jacob fled to the land of Aram, he served for a wife; for a wife Israel tended sheep.
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.	14 By a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet they were protected.
	15 Ephraim has exasperated his lord; therefore he shall cast his blood-guilt upon him and repay him for his outrage.
