Hosea 12

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	GREEK BIBLE
1 Ephraim feeds on wind and follows burning heat; all day long he multiplies lies and desolation. And he has entered into a pact with the Assyrians, and he has 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, the judgment of the Lord is with Judah and a visitation is upon Jacob. He will repay him according to his ways and according to his inventions.	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; for in his good fortune, he had been guided by 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 an angel, for he had been strengthened. He wept and petitioned him. He found him in Bethel, and there he has spoken to us.	4 Ναι, ενισχυσε μετα αγγελου και υπερισχυσεν? εκλαυσε και εδεηθη αυτου? εν Βαιθηλ ευρηκεν αυτον, και εκει ελαλησε προς ημας?
5 And the Lord God of hosts, the Lord is his memorial.	5 ναι, Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων, ο Κυριος ειναι το μνημοσυνον αυτου.
6 And so, you should convert to your God. Keep mercy and judgment, and have hope in your God always.	6 Δια τουτο συ επιστρεψον προς τον Θεον σου? φυλαττε ελεος και κρισιν και ελπιζε επι τον Θεον σου δια παντος.
7 Canaan, in his hand is a deceitful balance, he has chosen false accusations.	7 Ο Εφραιμ ειναι εμπορος? ζυγια απατης ειναι εν τη χειρι αυτου? αγαπα να αδικη.
8 And Ephraim has said, “Nevertheless, I have become rich; I have found an idol for myself. All of my labors will not reveal to 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, the Lord your God from the land of Egypt, nevertheless will cause you to dwell in tabernacles, just as during 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 through the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and I have used parables through the hands of the prophets.	10 Ελαλησα ετι δια προφητων και ορασεις επληθυνα εγω, και παρεστησα ομοιωσεις δια χειρος των προφητων.
11 If Gilead is an idol, then they have been sacrificing cattle in Gilgal to no purpose. For even their altars are like clutter on the soil 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 region of Syria, and Israel served like a wife, and was served by a wife.	12 Ο δε Ιακωβ εφυγεν εις την γην της Συριας και ο Ισραηλ εδουλευσε δια γυναικα και δια γυναικα εφυλαξε προβατα.
13 Yet by a prophet the Lord led Israel out of Egypt, and he was served by a prophet.	13 Και δια προφητου ανεβιβασεν ο Κυριος τον Ισραηλ εξ Αιγυπτου και δια προφητου διεφυλαχθη.
14 Ephraim has provoked me to wrath with his bitterness, and his blood will overcome him, and his Lord will requite him for his shamefulness.	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.
