LXX	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 διοτι νηπιος ισραηλ και εγω ηγαπησα αυτον και εξ αιγυπτου μετεκαλεσα τα τεκνα αυτου	1 Just as the morning passes, so has the king of Israel passed by. For Israel was a child and I loved him; and out of Egypt I called my son.
2 καθως μετεκαλεσα αυτους ουτως απωχοντο εκ προσωπου μου αυτοι τοις βααλιμ εθυον και τοις γλυπτοις εθυμιων	2 They called them, and so they departed before their face. They offered victims to the Baals, and they sacrificed to graven images.
3 και εγω συνεποδισα τον εφραιμ ανελαβον αυτον επι τον βραχιονα μου και ουκ εγνωσαν οτι ιαμαι αυτους	3 And I was like a foster father to Ephraim. I carried them in my arms. And they did not know that I healed 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 I will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love. And I will be to them like one who raises the yoke over their jaws. And I will reach down to him so that he may eat.
5 κατωκησεν εφραιμ εν αιγυπτω και ασσουρ αυτος βασιλευς αυτου οτι ουκ ηθελησεν επιστρεψαι	5 He will not return to the land of Egypt, but Assur himself will be the king over him, because they were not willing to be converted.
6 και ησθενησεν ρομφαια εν ταις πολεσιν αυτου και κατεπαυσεν εν ταις χερσιν αυτου και φαγονται εκ των διαβουλιων αυτων	6 The sword has begun in his cities, and it will consume his elect and devour their heads.
7 και ο λαος αυτου επικρεμαμενος εκ της κατοικιας αυτου και ο θεος επι τα τιμια αυτου θυμωθησεται και ου μη υψωση αυτον	7 And my people will long for my return. But a yoke will be imposed on them together, which will not be taken away.
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 How will I provide for you, Ephraim; how will I protect you, Israel? How will I provide for you as for Adam; will I set you like Zeboiim? My heart has changed within me; together with my regret, it has been stirred up.
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 will not act on the fury of my wrath. I will not turn back to utterly destroy Ephraim. For I am God, and not man, the Divine in your midst, and I will not advance upon the city.
10 οπισω κυριου πορευσομαι ως λεων ερευξεται οτι αυτος ωρυσεται και εκστησονται τεκνα υδατων	10 They will walk after the Lord; he will roar like a lion. For he himself will roar, and the sons of the sea will dread.
11 και εκστησονται ως ορνεον εξ αιγυπτου και ως περιστερα εκ γης ασσυριων και αποκαταστησω αυτους εις τους οικους αυτων λεγει κυριος	11 And they will fly like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove from the land of the Assyrians. And I will arrange them in their own houses, says the Lord.
	12 Ephraim has besieged me with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah went down as a witness before God and the holy ones of faith.
