1Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
1[] Ο Εφραιμ βοσκεται ανεμον και κυνηγει τον ανατολικον ανεμον· καθ' ημεραν πληθυνει ψευδη και ολεθρον καμνουσι δε συνθηκην μετα των Ασσυριων και φερουσιν ελαιον εις την Αιγυπτον.
2The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
2Ο Κυριος εχει ετι κρισιν μετα του Ιουδα, και θελει επισκεφθη τον Ιακωβ κατα τας οδους αυτου· κατα τας πραξεις αυτου θελει ανταποδωσει εις αυτον.
3He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
3Εν τη κοιλια επτερνισε τον αδελφον αυτου και εν τη ανδρικη ηλικια αυτου ενισχυσε προς τον Θεον.
4Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
4Ναι, ενισχυσε μετα αγγελου και υπερισχυσεν· εκλαυσε και εδεηθη αυτου· εν Βαιθηλ ευρηκεν αυτον, και εκει ελαλησε προς ημας·
5Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
5ναι, Κυριος ο Θεος των δυναμεων, ο Κυριος ειναι το μνημοσυνον αυτου.
6Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment and wait on thy God continually.
6Δια τουτο συ επιστρεψον προς τον Θεον σου· φυλαττε ελεος και κρισιν και ελπιζε επι τον Θεον σου δια παντος.
7He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
7[] Ο Εφραιμ ειναι εμπορος· ζυγια απατης ειναι εν τη χειρι αυτου· αγαπα να αδικη.
8And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin.
8Και ο Εφραιμ ειπε, Βεβαιως εγω επλουτησα, απεκτησα υπαρχοντα εις εμαυτον· εν πασι τοις κοποις μου δεν θελει ευρεθη εν εμοι ανομια, ητις να λογιζηται αμαρτια.
9And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast.
9Εγω δε ειμαι Κυριος ο Θεος σου εκ γης Αιγυπτου, θελω σε κατοικισει ετι εν σκηναις ως εν ημεραις επισημου εορτης.
10I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets.
10Ελαλησα ετι δια προφητων και ορασεις επληθυνα εγω, και παρεστησα ομοιωσεις δια χειρος των προφητων.
11Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.
11Εν Γαλααδ ταχα υπηρξεν ανομια; εν Γαλγαλοις μαλιστα εσταθησαν ματαιοτης· θυσιαζουσι ταυρους, και τα θυσιαστηρια αυτων ειναι ως σωροι εν ταις αυλαξι των αγρων.
12And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
12Ο δε Ιακωβ εφυγεν εις την γην της Συριας και ο Ισραηλ εδουλευσε δια γυναικα και δια γυναικα εφυλαξε προβατα.
13And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
13Και δια προφητου ανεβιβασεν ο Κυριος τον Ισραηλ εξ Αιγυπτου και δια προφητου διεφυλαχθη.
14Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.
14Ο Εφραιμ παρωξυνεν αυτον πικροτατα· δια τουτο θελει εκχεει το αιμα αυτου επ' αυτον και τον ονειδισμον αυτου ο Κυριος αυτου θελει επιστρεψει επ' αυτον.
