LXX	NEW JERUSALEM
1 διοτι νηπιος ισραηλ και εγω ηγαπησα αυτον και εξ αιγυπτου μετεκαλεσα τα τεκνα αυτου	1 When Israel was a child I loved him, and I cal ed my son out of Egypt.
2 καθως μετεκαλεσα αυτους ουτως απωχοντο εκ προσωπου μου αυτοι τοις βααλιμ εθυον και τοις γλυπτοις εθυμιων	2 But the more I cal ed, the further they went away from me; they offered sacrifice to Baal and burntincense to idols.
3 και εγω συνεποδισα τον εφραιμ ανελαβον αυτον επι τον βραχιονα μου και ουκ εγνωσαν οτι ιαμαι αυτους	3 I myself taught Ephraim to walk, I myself took them by the arm, but they did not know that I was theone caring for them,
4 εν διαφθορα ανθρωπων εξετεινα αυτους εν δεσμοις αγαπησεως μου και εσομαι αυτοις ως ραπιζων ανθρωπος επι τας σιαγονας αυτου και επιβλεψομαι προς αυτον δυνησομαι αυτω	4 that I was leading them with human ties, with leading-strings of love, that, with them, I was likesomeone lifting an infant to his cheek, and that I bent down to feed him.
5 κατωκησεν εφραιμ εν αιγυπτω και ασσουρ αυτος βασιλευς αυτου οτι ουκ ηθελησεν επιστρεψαι	5 He wil not have to go back to Egypt, Assyria wil be his king instead! Since he has refused to comeback to me,
6 και ησθενησεν ρομφαια εν ταις πολεσιν αυτου και κατεπαυσεν εν ταις χερσιν αυτου και φαγονται εκ των διαβουλιων αυτων	6 the sword wil rage through his cities, destroying the bars of his gates, devouring them because oftheir plots.
7 και ο λαος αυτου επικρεμαμενος εκ της κατοικιας αυτου και ο θεος επι τα τιμια αυτου θυμωθησεται και ου μη υψωση αυτον	7 My people are bent on disregarding me; if they are summoned to come up, not one of them makes amove.
8 τι σε διαθω εφραιμ υπερασπιω σου ισραηλ τι σε διαθω ως αδαμα θησομαι σε και ως σεβωιμ μετεστραφη η καρδια μου εν τω αυτω συνεταραχθη η μεταμελεια μου	8 Ephraim, how could I part with you? Israel, how could I give you up? How could I make you likeAdmah or treat you like Zeboi m? My heart within me is overwhelmed, fever grips my inmost being.
9 ου μη ποιησω κατα την οργην του θυμου μου ου μη εγκαταλιπω του εξαλειφθηναι τον εφραιμ διοτι θεος εγω ειμι και ουκ ανθρωπος εν σοι αγιος και ουκ εισελευσομαι εις πολιν	9 I wil not give rein to my fierce anger, I wil not destroy Ephraim again, for I am God, not man, the HolyOne in your midst, and I shall not come to you in anger.
10 οπισω κυριου πορευσομαι ως λεων ερευξεται οτι αυτος ωρυσεται και εκστησονται τεκνα υδατων	10 They wil fol ow Yahweh; he wil roar like a lion, and when he roars, his children will come flutteringfrom the west,
11 και εκστησονται ως ορνεον εξ αιγυπτου και ως περιστερα εκ γης ασσυριων και αποκαταστησω αυτους εις τους οικους αυτων λεγει κυριος	11 fluttering like sparrows from Egypt, like pigeons from Assyria, and I shal settle them in their homes-declares Yahweh.
