Hosea 2
Swete's Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
εἴπατε τῷ ἀδελφῷ ὑμῶν Λαός μου. καὶ τῆ ἀδελφῇ ὑμῶν Ἐλεημένη.
“Say of your brothers, ‘My people (note: Hebrew Ammi),’ and of your sisters, ‘My loved one (note: Or Mercy is shown; Hebrew Ruhamah, which means she has received mercy).’
Κρίθητε πρὸς τὴν μητέρα ὑμῶν, κρίθητε, ὅτι αὕτη οὐ γυνὴ μου καὶ ἐγὼ οὐκ ἀνὴρ αὐτῆς. καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὴν πορνίαν αὐτῆς ἐκ προσώπου μου καὶ τὴν μοιχείαν αὐτῆς ἐκ μέσου μαστῶν αὐτῆς,
Rebuke your mother, rebuke her, for she is not My wife, and I am not her husband. Let her remove the adultery from her face and the unfaithfulness from between her breasts.
ὅπως ἂν ἐκδύσω αὐτὴν γυμνήν, καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτὴν καθὼς ἡ ἡμέρα γενέσεως αὐτῆς· καὶ θήσω αὐτὴν ἔρημον καὶ τάξω αὐτὴν ὡς γῆν ἄνυδρον, καὶ ἀποκτενῶ αὐτὴν ἐν δίψει·
Otherwise, I will strip her naked and expose her like the day of her birth. I will make her like a desert and turn her into a parched land, and I will let her die of thirst.
καὶ τὰ τέκνα αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ ἐλεήσω, ὅτι τέκνα πορνείας ἐστίν.
I will have no compassion on her children, because they are the children of adultery.
ὅτι ἐξεπόρνευσεν ἡ μήτηρ αὐτῶν, κατῄσχυνεν ἡ τεκοῦσα αὐτά, ὅτι εἶπεν Πορεύσομαι ὀπίσω τῶν ἐραστῶν μου τῶν διδόντων μοι τοὺς ἄρτους μου καὶ τὸ ὕδωρ μου καὶ τὰ ἱμάτιά μου καὶ τὰ ὀθόνιά μου, τὸ ἔλαιόν μου καὶ πάντα ὅσα μοι καθήκει.
For their mother has played the harlot and has conceived them in disgrace. For she thought, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me bread and water, wool and linen, oil and drink.’
διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ φράσσω τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῆς ἐν σκόλοψιν, καὶ ἀνοικοδομήσω τὰς ὁδοὺς καὶ τὴν τρίβον αὐτῆς οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ·
Therefore, behold, I will hedge up her path (note: Hebrew your path) with thorns; I will enclose her with a wall, so she cannot find her way.
καὶ καταδιώξεται τοὺς ἐραστὰς αὐτῆς καὶ οὐ μὴ καταλάβῃ αὐτούς, καὶ ζητήσει αὐτοὺς καὶ οὐ μὴ εὕρῃ αὐτούς, καὶ ἐρεῖ Πορεύσομαι καὶ ἐπιστρέψω πρὸς τὸν ἄνδρα μου τὸν πρότερον, ὅτι καλῶς μοι ἦν τότε ἡ νῦν.
She will pursue her lovers but not catch them; she will seek them but not find them. Then she will say, ‘I will return to my first husband, for then I was better off than now.’
καὶ αὕτη οὐκ ἔγνω ὅτι ἐγὼ ἔδωκα αὐτῇ τὸν σῖτον καὶ τὸν οἶνον καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον, καὶ ἀργύριον ἐπλήθυνα αὐτῇ· αὕτη δὲ ἀργυρᾶ καὶ χρυσᾶ ἐποίησεν τῇ Βάαλ.
For she does not acknowledge that it was I who gave her grain, new wine, and oil, who lavished on her silver and gold—which they crafted for Baal.
διὰ τοῦτο ἐπιστρέψω καὶ κομιοῦμαι τὸν σῖτόν μου καθʼ ὥραν αὐτοῦ καὶ τὸν οἶνόν μου ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀφελοῦμαι τὰ ἱμάτιά μου καὶ τὰ ὀθόνιά μου τοῦ μὴ καλύπτειν τὴν ἀσχημοσύνην αὐτῆς·
Therefore I will take back My grain in its time and My new wine in its season; I will take away My wool and linen, which were given to cover her nakedness.
καὶ νῦν ἀποκαλύψω τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν αὐτῆς ἐνώπιον τῶν ἐραστῶν αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐδεὶς οὐ μὴ ἐξέληται αὐτὴν ἐκ χειρός μου·
And then I will expose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and no one will deliver her out of My hands.
καὶ ἀποστρέψω πάσας τὰς εὐφροσύνας αὐτῆς, ἑορτὰς αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς νουμηνίας αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ σάββατα αὐτῆς καὶ πάσας τὰς πανηγύρεις αὐτῆς·
I will put an end to all her exultation: her feasts, New Moons, and Sabbaths—all her appointed feasts.
καὶ ἀφανιῶ ἄμπελον αὐτῆς καὶ τὰς συκᾶς αὐτῆς, ὅσα εἶπεν Μισθώματά μου ταῦτά ἐστιν ἃ ἔδωκάν μοι οἱ ἐρασταί μου, καὶ θήσομαι αὐτὰ εἰς μαρτύριον, καὶ καταφάγεται αὐτὰ τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τὰ ἑρπετὰ τῆς γῆς·
I will destroy her vines and fig trees, which she thinks are the wages paid by her lovers. So I will make them into a thicket, and the beasts of the field will devour them.
καὶ ἐκδικήσω ἐπʼ αὐτὴν τὰς ἡμέρας τῶν Βααλεὶμ ἐν αἷς ἐπέθυεν αὐτοῖς, καὶ περιετίθετο τὰ ἐνώτια αὐτῆς καὶ τὰ καθόρμια αὐτῆς καὶ ἐπορεύετο ὀπίσω τῶν ἐραστῶν αὐτῆς, ἐμοῦ δὲ ἐπελάθετο, λέγει Κύριος.
I will punish her for the days of the Baals when she burned incense to them, when she adorned herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers. But Me she forgot,” declares the LORD.
διὰ τοῦτο ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ πλανῶ αὐτὴν καὶ τάξω αὐτὴν ὡς ἔρημον, καὶ λαλήσω ἐπὶ τὴν καρδίαν αὐτῆς,
“Therefore, behold, I will allure her and lead her to the wilderness, and speak to her tenderly.
καὶ δώσω αὐτῇ τὰ κτήματα αὐτῆς ἐκεῖθεν καὶ τὴν κοιλάδα Ἀχὼρ διανοῖξαι σύνεσιν αὐτῆς· καὶ ταπεινωθήσεται ἐκεῖ κατὰ τὰς ἡμέρας νηπιότητος αὐτῆς καὶ κατὰ τὰς ἡμέρας ἀναβάσεως αὐτῆς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.
There I will give back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor (note: Achor means trouble.) into a gateway of hope. There she will respond as she did in the days of her youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt.
καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος, καλέσει με Ὁ ἀνήρ μου. καὶ οὐ καλέσει με ἔτι Βααλείμ·
In that day,” declares the LORD, “you will call Me ‘my Husband (note: Hebrew my Ishi),’ and no longer call Me ‘my Master (note: Hebrew my Baal).’
καὶ ἐξαρῶ τὰ ὀνόματα τῶν Βααλεὶμ ἐκ στόματος αὐτῆς, καὶ οὐ μὴ μνησθῶσιν οὐκέτι τὰ ὀνόματα αὐτῶν.
For I will remove from her lips the names of the Baals; no longer will their names be invoked.
καὶ διαθήσομαι αὐτοῖς διαθήκην ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ μετὰ τῶν θηρίων τοῦ ἀγροῦ καὶ μετὰ τῶν πετεινῶν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ καὶ τῶν ἑρπετῶν τῆς γῆς· καὶ τόξον καὶ ῥομφαίαν καὶ πόλεμον συντρίψω ἀπὸ τῆς γῆς, καὶ κατοικιῶ σε ἐπʼ ἐλπ ίδι.
On that day I will make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air and the creatures that crawl on the ground. And I will abolish bow and sword and battle in the land, and will make them lie down in safety.
καὶ μνηστεύσομαί σε ἐμαυτῷ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ μνηστεύσομαί σε ἐμαυτῷ ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ καὶ ἐν κρίματι καὶ ἐν ἐλέει καὶ ἐν οἰκτειρμοῖς,
So I will betroth you to Me forever; I will betroth you in righteousness and justice, in loving devotion (note: Forms of the Hebrew chesed are translated here and in most cases throughout the Scriptures as loving devotion; the range of meaning includes love, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, and mercy, as well as loyalty to a covenant.) and compassion.
καὶ μνηστεύσομαί σε ἐμαυτῷ ἐν πίστει, καὶ ἐπιγνώσῃ τὸν κύριον.
And I will betroth you in faithfulness, and you will know the LORD.”
καὶ ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ, λέγει Κύριος, ἐπακούσομαι τῷ οὐρανῷ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐπακούσεται τῇ γῇ,
“On that day I will respond—” declares the LORD—“I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth.
καὶ ἡ γῆ ἐπακούσεται τὸν σῖτον καὶ τὸν οἶνον καὶ τὸ ἔλαιον, καὶ αὐτὰ ἐπακούσεται τῷ Ἰεζραέλ.
And the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine and oil, and they will respond to Jezreel (note: Jezreel means God sows.).
καὶ σπερῶ αὐτὴν ἐμαυτῷ ἐπὶ τῆς γῆς, καὶ ἀγαπήσω τὴν Οὐκ ἠγαπημένην, καὶ ἐρῶ τῷ Οὐ λαῷ μου Λαός μου εἶ σύ, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐρεῖ Κύριος ὁ θεός μου εἰ σύ.
And I will sow her as My own in the land, and I will have compassion on ‘No Compassion (note: Hebrew Lo-ruhamah; LXX I will love her who was not loved).’ I will say to those called ‘Not My People (note: Hebrew Lo-ammi),’ ‘You are My people (note: Cited in Romans 9:25 and 1 Peter 2:10),’ and they will say, ‘You are my God.’”
