Hosea 9

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 No merrymaking, Israel, for you, no rejoicing like other peoples, for you have deserted your God to playthe whore, you have loved the fee of prostitution on every threshing-floor.	1 μη χαιρε ισραηλ μηδε ευφραινου καθως οι λαοι διοτι επορνευσας απο του θεου σου ηγαπησας δοματα επι παντα αλωνα σιτου
2 The threshing-floor and wine-press will not feed them; they will be disappointed of new wine.	2 αλων και ληνος ουκ εγνω αυτους και ο οινος εψευσατο αυτους
3 No more wil they live in Yahweh's country; Ephraim will have to go back to Egypt, and eat polluted foodin Assyria.	3 ου κατωκησαν εν τη γη του κυριου κατωκησεν εφραιμ εις αιγυπτον και εν ασσυριοις ακαθαρτα φαγονται
4 No more wil they pour libations of wine to Yahweh, and their sacrifices will not win his favour but will belike funeral fare for them: whoever eats them wil be pol uted; for their food wil be for themselves alone, notbeing offered in Yahweh's home.	4 ουκ εσπεισαν τω κυριω οινον και ουχ ηδυναν αυτω αι θυσιαι αυτων ως αρτος πενθους αυτοις παντες οι εσθοντες αυτα μιανθησονται διοτι οι αρτοι αυτων ταις ψυχαις αυτων ουκ εισελευσονται εις τον οικον κυριου
5 What wil you do on the solemn feast-day, on the day of Yahweh's festival?	5 τι ποιησετε εν ημερα πανηγυρεως και εν ημερα εορτης του κυριου
6 What a scene of devastastion they have left! Egypt wil round them up, Memphis will bury them, nettleswil inherit their fields and thorn-bushes invade their homesteads.	6 δια τουτο ιδου πορευσονται εκ ταλαιπωριας αιγυπτου και εκδεξεται αυτους μεμφις και θαψει αυτους μαχμας το αργυριον αυτων ολεθρος κληρονομησει ακανθαι εν τοις σκηνωμασιν αυτων
7 The days of punishment have come, the days of retribution are here; Israel knows it! 'The prophet ismad and the inspired man a fool!' Great has been your guilt- al the greater then the hostility!	7 ηκασιν αι ημεραι της εκδικησεως ηκασιν αι ημεραι της ανταποδοσεως σου και κακωθησεται ισραηλ ωσπερ ο προφητης ο παρεξεστηκως ανθρωπος ο πνευματοφορος υπο του πληθους των αδικιων σου επληθυνθη μανια σου
8 The watchman of Ephraim is with my God: it is the prophet- and a fowler's trap is placed on al hispaths; and in the shrine of his God there is enmity towards him.	8 σκοπος εφραιμ μετα θεου προφητης παγις σκολια επι πασας τας οδους αυτου μανιαν εν οικω κυριου κατεπηξαν
9 They have become deeply corrupt as in the days of Gibeah; he will remember their guilt, he wil punishtheir sins.	9 εφθαρησαν κατα τας ημερας του βουνου μνησθησεται αδικιας αυτου εκδικησει αμαρτιας αυτου
10 It was like finding grapes in the desert when I found Israel, like seeing early fruit on a fig tree when Isaw your ancestors; but when they reached Baal-Peor they devoted themselves to Shame and became asloathsome as the thing they loved.	10 ως σταφυλην εν ερημω ευρον τον ισραηλ και ως σκοπον εν συκη προιμον ειδον πατερας αυτων αυτοι εισηλθον προς τον βεελφεγωρ και απηλλοτριωθησαν εις αισχυνην και εγενοντο οι ηγαπημενοι ως οι εβδελυγμενοι
11 The glory of Ephraim wil fly away like a bird: no giving birth, no pregnancy, no conceiving.	11 εφραιμ ως ορνεον εξεπετασθη αι δοξαι αυτων εκ τοκων και ωδινων και συλλημψεων
12 If they rear their children, I shal take them away before they grow up! Woe to them indeed when Ileave them!	12 διοτι και εαν εκθρεψωσιν τα τεκνα αυτων ατεκνωθησονται εξ ανθρωπων διοτι και ουαι αυτοις εστιν σαρξ μου εξ αυτων
13 Ephraim looked to me like Tyre, planted in a meadow, so Ephraim will present his children to theslaughterer.	13 εφραιμ ον τροπον ειδον εις θηραν παρεστησαν τα τεκνα αυτων και εφραιμ του εξαγαγειν εις αποκεντησιν τα τεκνα αυτου
14 Give them, Yahweh- what are you to give? - give them wombs that miscarry and dried-up breasts.	14 δος αυτοις κυριε τι δωσεις αυτοις δος αυτοις μητραν ατεκνουσαν και μαστους ξηρους
15 Their wickedness appeared in ful at Gilgal, there I came to hate them. Because of the wickedness oftheir deeds I shall drive them from my home, I shal love them no longer; all their princes are rebels.	15 πασαι αι κακιαι αυτων εις γαλγαλ οτι εκει αυτους εμισησα δια τας κακιας των επιτηδευματων αυτων εκ του οικου μου εκβαλω αυτους ου μη προσθησω του αγαπησαι αυτους παντες οι αρχοντες αυτων απειθουντες
16 Ephraim is blasted, their root has dried out, they wil bear no more fruit. And even if they do bearchildren I shal slaughter the darlings of their womb.	16 επονεσεν εφραιμ τας ριζας αυτου εξηρανθη καρπον ουκετι μη ενεγκη διοτι και εαν γεννησωσιν αποκτενω τα επιθυμηματα κοιλιας αυτων
17 Because they have not listened to him, my God wil cast them off and they wil become wanderersamong the nations.	17 απωσεται αυτους ο θεος οτι ουκ εισηκουσαν αυτου και εσονται πλανηται εν τοις εθνεσιν
