Hosea 7

NEW JERUSALEM	GREEK BIBLE
1 Whenever I would heal Israel, I am confronted by the guilt of Ephraim and the evil-doings of Samaria;for deceit is their principle of behaviour; the thief breaks into the house, marauders raid in the open;	1 Ενω ιατρευον τον Ισραηλ, απεκαλυφθη τοτε η ανομια του Εφραιμ και η κακια της Σαμαρειας? διοτι επραξαν ψευδος? και ο κλεπτης εισερχεται, ο ληστης γυμνονει εξωθεν.
2 and they never pause to consider that I remember al their wicked deeds; and now their own deeds hemthem in and stare me in the face.	2 Και αυτοι δεν λεγουσιν εν τη καρδια αυτων, οτι ενθυμουμαι πασαν την ανομιαν αυτων? τωρα περιεκυκλωσαν αυτους αι πραξεις αυτων? εμπροσθεν του προσωπου μου εγειναν.
3 They amuse the king with their wickedness and the chief men with their lies.	3 Εν τη κακια αυτων ευφραναν τον βασιλεα και εν τοις ψευδεσιν αυτων τους αρχοντας.
4 They are al adulterers, hot as an oven which the baker need not stoke from the time he has kneadedthe dough until it rises.	4 Παντες ειναι μοιχοι, ως ο κλιβανος ο πεπυρωμενος υπο του αρτοποιου? οστις, αφου ζυμωση το φυραμα, παυει του να θερμαινη αυτον, εωσου γεινη η ζυμωσις.
5 At the holiday for our king, the ministers become inflamed with wine, while he accepts the homage ofpeople	5 Εν τη ημερα του βασιλεως ημων, οι αρχοντες ησθενησαν υπο της φλογωσεως του οινου, και αυτος εξηπλωσε την χειρα αυτου προς τους αχρειους.
6 who laugh at him. Their hearts are like an oven as they plot, all night their passion slumbers, then in themorning it bursts into flame;	6 Διοτι ενασχολουσι την καρδιαν αυτων φλεγωμενην ως κλιβανον εν ταις ενεδραις αυτων? ο αρτοποιος αυτων κοιμαται ολην την νυκτα? την δε αυγην αυτη καιει ως πυρ φλογιζον.
7 yes, al of them as hot as ovens, they consume their rulers. All their kings have fal en thus, not one ofthem has ever cal ed on me.	7 Παντες ουτοι εθερμανθησαν ως κλιβανος και κατεφαγον τους κριτας αυτων? παντες οι βασιλεις αυτων επεσον? δεν υπαρχει μεταξυ αυτων ο επικαλουμενος με.
8 Ephraim mixes with the nations. Ephraim is a half-baked cake.	8 Ο Εφραιμ, αυτος συνεμιγη μετα των λαων? ο Εφραιμ ειναι ως εγκρυφιας οστις δεν εστραφη.
9 Foreigners have eaten his strength away but he is unconscious of it; even his hair is turning grey but heis unconscious of it.	9 Ξενοι κατεφαγον την δυναμιν αυτου και αυτος δεν γνωριζει τουτο? και λευκαι τριχες ανεφυησαν σποραδην εν αυτω και αυτος δεν γνωριζει τουτο.
10 (Israel's arrogance is his own accuser; but they do not come back to Yahweh their God or seek him,despite al this.)	10 Και η υπερηφανια του Ισραηλ μαρτυρει κατα προσωπον αυτου? και δεν επιστρεφουσι προς Κυριον τον Θεον αυτων ουδε εκζητουσιν αυτον δια παντα ταυτα.
11 Ephraim is like a silly, witless pigeon cal ing on Egypt, turning to Assyria.	11 Και ο Εφραιμ ειναι ως περιστερα δελεαζομενη, μη εχουσα συνεσιν? επικαλουνται την Αιγυπτον, υπαγουσιν εις την Ασσυριαν.
12 Wherever they turn, I shal spread my net over them, I shal bring them down like the birds of the sky, Ishall punish them for their perversity.	12 Οταν υπαγωσι, θελω εξαπλωσει επ' αυτους το δικτυον μου? θελω καταβιβασει αυτους καθως τα πετεινα του ουρανου? θελω παιδευσει αυτους καθως εκηρυχθη εν τη συναγωγη αυτων.
13 Woe to them for having fled from me! Ruin seize them for having wronged me! I have rescued themagain and again and they have only told lies about me.	13 Ουαι εις αυτους, διοτι απεσκιρτησαν απ' εμου? ολεθρος εις αυτους, διοτι ησεβησαν εις εμε? ενω εγω εξηγορασα αυτους, αυτοι ελαλησαν κατ' εμου ψευδη.
14 Theirs is no heartfelt cry to me when they lament on their beds; when they gash themselves over thegrain and new wine, they are stil rebelling against me.	14 Και δεν με επεκαλεσθησαν εν τη καρδια αυτων, αλλα ωλολυζον επι τας κλινας αυτων? βασανιζονται δια σιτον και οινον και στασιαζουσιν εναντιον μου.
15 Though I supported and gave strength to their arms, they plan how to hurt me.	15 Και εγω επαιδευσα αυτους ενω ενισχυσα τους βραχιονας αυτων, αυτοι ομως διελογιζοντο πονηρα εναντιον μου.
16 They turn to what does not exist, they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders wil fal by the swordbecause of their arrogant talk; how they wil be laughed at in Egypt!	16 Επιστρεφουσιν, ουχι εις τον Υψιστον? εγειναν ως τοξον στρεβλον? οι αρχοντες αυτων θελουσι πεσει εν ρομφαια δια την αυθαδειαν της γλωσσης αυτων? τουτο θελει εισθαι το ονειδος αυτων εν τη γη της Αιγυπτου.
