Osee 10
1Israel is a vine with goodly branches, her fruit is abundant: according to the multitude of her fruits she has multiplied her altars; according to the wealth of his land, he has set up pillars.Ἄμπελος εὐκηματοῦσα Ἰσραὴλ, ὁ καρπὸς εὐθηνῶν αὐτῆς· κατὰ τὸ πλῆθος τῶν καρπῶν αὐτῆς, ἐπλήθυνε τὰ θυσιαστήρια· κατὰ τὰ ἀγαθὰ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ, ᾠκοδόμησε στήλας.
2They have divided their hearts; now shall they be utterly destroyed: he shall dig down their altars, their pillars shall mourn.Ἐμέρισαν καρδίας αὐτῶν, νῦν ἀφανισθήσονται· αὐτὸς κατασκάψει τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτῶν, ταλαιπωρήσουσιν αἱ στῆλαι αὐτῶν.
3Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord:Διότι νῦν ἐροῦσιν, οὐκ ἔστι βασιλεὺς ἡμῖν, ὅτι οὐκ ἐφοβήθημεν τὸν Κύριον· ὁ δὲ βασιλεὺς τί ποιήσει ἡμῖν,
4and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions as his words? he will make a covenant: judgment shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field.λαλῶν ῥήματα προφάσεις ψευδεῖς; διαθήσεται διαθήκην, ἀνατελεῖ ὡς ἄγρωστις κρίμα ἐπὶ χέρσον ἀγροῦ.
5The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of On; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them.Τῷ μόσχῳ τοῦ οἴκου Ὦν παροικήσουσιν οἱ κατοικοῦντες Σαμάρειαν, ὅτι ἐπένθησε λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτόν· καὶ καθὼς παρεπίκραναν αὐτὸν, ἐπιχαροῦνται ἐπὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτοῦ, ὅτι μετῳκίσθη ἀπʼ αὐτοῦ.
6And having bound it for the Assyrians, they carried it away as presents to king Jarim: Ephraim shall receive a gift, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel.Καὶ αὐτὸν εἰς Ἀσσυρίους δήσαντες, ἀπήνεγκαν ξένια τῷ βασιλεῖ Ἰαρείμ· ἐν δόματι Ἐφραὶμ δέξεται, καὶ αἰσχυνθήσεται Ἰσραὴλ ἐν τῇ βουλῇ αὐτοῦ.
7Samaria has cast off her king as a twig on the surface of the water.Ἀπέῤῥιψεν Σαμάρεια βασιλέα αὐτῆς ὡς φρύγανον ἐπὶ προσώπου ὕδατος·
8And the altars of On, the sins of Israel, shall be taken away: thorns and thistles shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.Καὶ ἐξαρθήσονται βωμοὶ Ὦν ἁμαρτήματα τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, ἄκανθαι καὶ τρίβολοι ἀναβήσονται ἐπὶ τὰ θυσιαστήρια αὐτῶν· καὶ ἐροῦσι τοῖς ὄρεσι, καλύψατε ἡμᾶς, καὶ τοῖς βουνοῖς, πέσατε ἐφʼ ἡμᾶς.
9From the time the hills existed Israel has sinned: there they stood: war waged against the children of iniquityἈφʼ οὗ οἱ βουνοὶ, ἥμαρτεν Ἰσραήλ, ἐκεῖ ἔστησαν· οὐ μὴ καταλάβῃ αὐτοὺς ἐν τῷ βουνῷ πόλεμος ἐπὶ τὰ τὲκνα ἀδικίας
10to chastise them shall not overtake them on the hill, the nations shall be gathered against them, when they are chastened for their two sins,παιδεῦσαι αὐτούς· καὶ συναχθήσονται ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς λαοὶ, ἐν τῷ παιδεύεσθαι αὐτοὺς ἐν ταῖς δυσὶν ἀδικίαις αὐτῶν.
11Ephraim is a heifer taught to love victory, but I will come upon the fair part of her neck: I will mount Ephraim; I will pass over Juda in silence; Jacob shall prevail against him.Ἐφραὶμ δάμαλις δεδιδαγμένη ἀγαπᾷν νῖκος, ἐγὼ δὲ ἐπελεύσομαι ἐπὶ τὸ κάλλιστον τοῦ τραχήλου αὐτῆς· ἐπιβιβῶ Ἐφραὶμ, παρασιωπήσομαι Ἰούδαν, ἐνισχύσει αὐτῷ Ἰακώβ.
12Sow to yourselves for righteousness, gather in for the fruit of life: light you for yourselves the light of knowledge; seek the Lord till the fruits of righteousness come upon you.Σπείρατε ἑαυτοῖς εἰς δικαιοσύνην, τρυγήσατε εἰς καρπὸν ζωῆς, φωτίσατε ἑαυτοῖς φῶς γνώσεως, ἐκζητήσατε τὸν Κύριον ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν γεννήματα δικαιοσύνης ὑμῖν.
13Therefore have you passed over ungodliness in silence, and reaped the sins of it? you have eaten false fruit; for you have trusted in your sins, in the abundance of your power.Ἱνατί παρεσιωπήσατε ἀσέβειαν, καὶ τὰς ἀδικίας αὐτῆς ἐτρυγήσατε; ἐφάγετε καρπὸν ψευδῆ, ὅτι ἤλπισας ἐν τοῖς ἁμαρτήμασί σου, ἐν πλήθει δυνάμεώς σου.
14Therefore shall destruction rise up among your people, and all your strong places shall be ruined: as a prince Solomon departed out of the house of Jeroboam, in the days of battle they dashed the mother to the ground upon the children,Καὶ ἐξαναστήσεται ἀπώλεια ἐν τῷ λαῷ σου, καὶ πάντα τὰ περιτετειχισμένα σου οἰχήσεται· ὡς ἄρχεν Σαλαμὰν ἐκ τοῦ οἴκου τοῦ Ἱεροβοὰμ, ἐν ἡμέραις πολέμου μητέρα ἐπὶ τέκνοις ἠδάφισαν,
15thus will I do to you, O house of Israel, because of the unrighteousness of your sins.οὕτως ποιήσω ὑμῖν οἶκος τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ προσώπου ἀδικίας κακιῶν ὑμῶν.
