Hosea 14

1 Return, O Israel, unto the LORD thy God; for thou hast stumbled in thine iniquity.

ἐπιστράφητι Ισραηλ πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεόν σου διότι ἠσθένησας ἐν ταῖς ἀδικίαις σου

2 Take with you words, and return unto the LORD; say unto Him: 'Forgive all iniquity, and accept that which is good; so will we render for bullocks the offering of our lips.

λάβετε μεθ’ ἑαυτῶν λόγους καὶ ἐπιστράφητε πρὸς κύριον τὸν θεὸν ὑμῶν εἴπατε αὐτῷ ὅπως μὴ λάβητε ἀδικίαν καὶ λάβητε ἀγαθά καὶ ἀνταποδώσομεν καρπὸν χειλέων ἡμῶν

3 Asshur shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we call any more the work of our hands our gods; for in Thee the fatherless findeth mercy.'

Ασσουρ οὐ μὴ σώσῃ ἡμᾶς ἐφ’ ἵππον οὐκ ἀναβησόμεθα οὐκέτι μὴ εἴπωμεν θεοὶ ἡμῶν τοῖς ἔργοις τῶν χειρῶν ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν σοὶ ἐλεήσει ὀρφανόν

4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for Mine anger is turned away from him.

ἰάσομαι τὰς κατοικίας αὐτῶν ἀγαπήσω αὐτοὺς ὁμολόγως ὅτι ἀπέστρεψεν ἡ ὀργή μου ἀπ’ αὐτῶν

5 I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.

ἔσομαι ὡς δρόσος τῷ Ισραηλ ἀνθήσει ὡς κρίνον καὶ βαλεῖ τὰς ῥίζας αὐτοῦ ὡς ὁ Λίβανος

6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his fragrance as Lebanon.

πορεύσονται οἱ κλάδοι αὐτοῦ καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἐλαία κατάκαρπος καὶ ἡ ὀσφρασία αὐτοῦ ὡς Λιβάνου

7 They that dwell under his shadow shall again make corn to grow, and shall blossom as the vine; the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

ἐπιστρέψουσιν καὶ καθιοῦνται ὑπὸ τὴν σκέπην αὐτοῦ ζήσονται καὶ μεθυσθήσονται σίτῳ καὶ ἐξανθήσει ὡς ἄμπελος τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτοῦ ὡς οἶνος Λιβάνου

8 Ephraim shall say: 'What have I to do any more with idols?' As for Me, I respond and look on him; I am like a leafy cypress-tree; from Me is thy fruit found.

τῷ Εφραιμ τί αὐτῷ ἔτι καὶ εἰδώλοις ἐγὼ ἐταπείνωσα αὐτόν καὶ ἐγὼ κατισχύσω αὐτόν ἐγὼ ὡς ἄρκευθος πυκάζουσα ἐξ ἐμοῦ ὁ καρπός σου εὕρηται

9 Whoso is wise, let him understand these things, whoso is prudent, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the just do walk in them; but transgressors do stumble therein.

τίς σοφὸς καὶ συνήσει ταῦτα ἢ συνετὸς καὶ ἐπιγνώσεται αὐτά διότι εὐθεῖαι αἱ ὁδοὶ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ δίκαιοι πορεύσονται ἐν αὐταῖς οἱ δὲ ἀσεβεῖς ἀσθενήσουσιν ἐν αὐταῖς
