Hosea 7

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	LXX
1 When I would bring about the restoration of my people, when I would heal Israel, The guilt of Ephraim stands out, the wickedness of Samaria; They practice falsehood, thieves break in, bandits plunder abroad.	1 εν τω ιασασθαι με τον ισραηλ και αποκαλυφθησεται η αδικια εφραιμ και η κακια σαμαρειας οτι ηργασαντο ψευδη και κλεπτης προς αυτον εισελευσεται εκδιδυσκων ληστης εν τη οδω αυτου
2 Yet they do not remind themselves that I remember all their wickedness. Even now their crimes surround them, present to my sight.	2 οπως συναδωσιν ως συναδοντες τη καρδια αυτων πασας τας κακιας αυτων εμνησθην νυν εκυκλωσεν αυτους τα διαβουλια αυτων απεναντι του προσωπου μου εγενοντο
3 In their wickedness they regale the king, the princes too, with their deceits.	3 εν ταις κακιαις αυτων ευφραναν βασιλεις και εν τοις ψευδεσιν αυτων αρχοντας
4 They are all kindled to wrath like a blazing oven, Whose fire the baker desists from stirring once the dough is kneaded until it has risen.	4 παντες μοιχευοντες ως κλιβανος καιομενος εις πεψιν κατακαυματος απο της φλογος απο φυρασεως στεατος εως του ζυμωθηναι αυτο
5 On the day of our king, the princes are overcome with the heat of wine. He extends his hand among dissemblers;	5 αι ημεραι των βασιλεων υμων ηρξαντο οι αρχοντες θυμουσθαι εξ οινου εξετεινεν την χειρα αυτου μετα λοιμων
6 the plotters approach with hearts like ovens. All the night their anger sleeps; in the morning it flares like a blazing fire.	6 διοτι ανεκαυθησαν ως κλιβανος αι καρδιαι αυτων εν τω καταρασσειν αυτους ολην την νυκτα υπνου εφραιμ ενεπλησθη πρωι εγενηθη ανεκαυθη ως πυρος φεγγος
7 They are all heated like ovens, and consume their rulers. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me.	7 παντες εθερμανθησαν ως κλιβανος και κατεφαγον τους κριτας αυτων παντες οι βασιλεις αυτων επεσαν ουκ ην ο επικαλουμενος εν αυτοις προς με
8 Ephraim mingles with the nations, Ephraim is a hearth cake unturned.	8 εφραιμ εν τοις λαοις αυτου συνανεμειγνυτο εφραιμ εγενετο εγκρυφιας ου μεταστρεφομενος
9 Strangers have sapped his strength, but he takes no notice of it; Of gray hairs, too, there is a sprinkling, but he takes no notice of it.	9 κατεφαγον αλλοτριοι την ισχυν αυτου αυτος δε ουκ επεγνω και πολιαι εξηνθησαν αυτω και αυτος ουκ εγνω
10 The arrogance of Israel bears witness against him; yet they do not return to the LORD, their God, nor seek him, for all that.	10 και ταπεινωθησεται η υβρις ισραηλ εις προσωπον αυτου και ουκ επεστρεψαν προς κυριον τον θεον αυτων και ουκ εξεζητησαν αυτον εν πασι τουτοις
11 Ephraim is like a dove, silly and senseless; They call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.	11 και ην εφραιμ ως περιστερα ανους ουκ εχουσα καρδιαν αιγυπτον επεκαλειτο και εις ασσυριους επορευθησαν
12 Even as they go I will spread my net around them, like birds in the air I will bring them down. In an instant I will send them captive from their land.	12 καθως αν πορευωνται επιβαλω επ' αυτους το δικτυον μου καθως τα πετεινα του ουρανου καταξω αυτους παιδευσω αυτους εν τη ακοη της θλιψεως αυτων
13 Woe to them, they have strayed from me! Ruin to them, they have sinned against me! Though I wished to redeem them, they spoke lies against me.	13 ουαι αυτοις οτι απεπηδησαν απ' εμου δειλαιοι εισιν οτι ησεβησαν εις εμε εγω δε ελυτρωσαμην αυτους αυτοι δε κατελαλησαν κατ' εμου ψευδη
14 They have not cried to me from their hearts when they wailed upon their beds; For wheat and wine they lacerated themselves, while they rebelled against me.	14 και ουκ εβοησαν προς με αι καρδιαι αυτων αλλ' η ωλολυζον εν ταις κοιταις αυτων επι σιτω και οινω κατετεμνοντο επαιδευθησαν εν εμοι
15 Though I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devised evil against me.	15 καγω κατισχυσα τους βραχιονας αυτων και εις εμε ελογισαντο πονηρα
16 They have again become useless, like a treacherous bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongues; thus they shall be mocked in the land of Egypt.	16 απεστραφησαν εις ουθεν εγενοντο ως τοξον εντεταμενον πεσουνται εν ρομφαια οι αρχοντες αυτων δι' απαιδευσιαν γλωσσης αυτων ουτος ο φαυλισμος αυτων εν γη αιγυπτω
