Hosea 12
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
ὁ δὲ Ἐφράιμ πονηρὸν πνεῦμα, ἐδίωξεν καύσωνα ὅλην τὴν ἡμέραν· κενὰ καὶ μάταια ἐπλήθυνεν καὶ διαθήκην μετὰ Ἀσσυρίων διέθετο, καὶ ἔλαιον εἰς Αἵγυπτον ἐνεπορεύετο.
Ephraim (note: That is, the northern kingdom of Israel; also in verses 8 and 14) feeds on the wind and pursues the east wind all day long; he multiplies lies and violence; he makes a covenant with Assyria and sends olive oil to Egypt.
καὶ κρίσις τῷ κυρίῳ πρὸς Ἰούδαν τοῦ ἐκδικῆσαι τὸν Ἰακὼβ κατὰ τὰς ὁδοὺς αὐτοῦ, καὶ κατὰ τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματα αὐτοῦ ἀποδώσει αὐτῷ.
The LORD has a charge to bring against Judah. He will punish Jacob (note: Jacob means he grasps the heel or he deceives.) according to his ways and repay him according to his deeds.
ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ ἐπτέρνισεν τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐν κόποις αὐτοῦ ἐνίσχυσεν πρὸς θεόν,
In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel, and in his vigor he wrestled with God.
καὶ ἐνίσχυσεν μετὰ ἀγγέλου καὶ ἠδυνάσθη· ἔκλαυσαν καὶ ἐδεήθησάν μου, ἐν τῷ οἴκῳ Ὢν εὕροσάν με, καὶ ἐκεῖ ἐλαλήθη πρὸς αὐτούς.
Yes, he struggled with the angel (note: Or Angel) and prevailed; he wept and sought His favor; he found Him at Bethel and spoke with Him there (note: LXX and Syriac; MT and there He spoke with us)—
ὁ δὲ κύριος ὁ θεὸς ὁ παντοκράτωρ ἔσται μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ.
the LORD God of Hosts, the LORD is His name of renown.
καὶ σὺ ἐν θεῷ σου ἐπιστρέψεις· ἔλεον καὶ κρίμα φυλάσσου, καὶ ἔγγιζε πρὸς τὸν θεόν σου διὰ παντός.
But you must return to your God; maintain love and justice, and always wait on your God.
Χανάαν ἐν χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ζυγὸς ἀδικίας, καταδυναστεύειν ἠγάπησε.
A merchant loves to defraud with dishonest scales in his hands.
καὶ εἶπεν Ἐφράιμ Πλὴν πεπλούτηκα, εὕρηκα ἀναψυχὴν ἐμαυτῷ. πάντες οἱ πόνοι αὐτοῦ οὐχ εὑρεθήσονται αὐτῷ δι᾿ ἀδικίας ἃς ἥμαρτεν.
And Ephraim boasts: “How rich I have become! I have found wealth for myself. In all my labors, they can find in me no iniquity that is sinful.”
ἐγὼ δὲ Κύριος ὁ θεός σου ἀνήγαγόν σε ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, ἔτι κατοικιῶ σε ἐν σκηναῖς καθὼς ἡμέραι ἑορτῆς.
But I am the LORD your God ever since the land of Egypt. I will again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed feast.
καὶ λαλήσω πρὸς προφήτας, καὶ ἐγὼ ὁράσεις ἐπλήθυνα, καὶ ἐν χερσὶν προφητῶν ὡμοιώθην.
I spoke through the prophets and multiplied their visions; I gave parables through the prophets.
εἰ μὴ Γαλαάδ ἐστιν, ἄρα ψευδεῖς ἤσαν ἐν Γαλαὰδ ἄρχοντες θυσιάζοντες, καὶ τά θυσιαστήρια αὐτῶν ὡς χελῶναι ἐπὶ χέρσον ἀγροῦ.
Is there iniquity in Gilead? They will surely come to nothing. Do they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal? Indeed, their altars will be heaps of stones in the furrows of the field.
καὶ ἀνεχώρησεν Ἰακὼβ εἰς πεδίον Συρίας, καὶ ἐδούλευσεν Ἰσραὴλ ἐν γυναικί, καὶ ἐν γυναικὶ ἐφυλάξατο.
Jacob fled to the land of Aram (note: That is, northwest Mesopotamia) and Israel worked for a wife—for a wife he tended sheep.
καὶ ἐν προφήτῃ ἀνήγαγεν Κύριος τὸν Ἰσραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἐν προφήτῃ διεφυλάχθη.
But by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
ἐθύμωσεν Ἐφράιμ καὶ παρώργισεν· καὶ τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτὸν ἐκχυθήσεται, καὶ τὸν ὀνειδισμὸν αὐτοῦ ἀνταποδώσει αὐτῷ Κύριος.
Ephraim has provoked bitter anger, so his Lord will leave his bloodguilt upon him and repay him for his contempt.
