Hosea 12

1 Ephraim [is] feeding wind and [is] pursuing an east wind all the day falsehood and violence he increases and a covenant with Assyria they are making and oil to Egypt it is carried.

Effraym fedith wynd, and sueth heete. Al dai he multiplieth leesyng, and distriyng; and he made boond of pees with Assiriens, and bar oile in to Egipt.

2 And a case at law [belongs] to Yahweh with Judah and to visit [judgment] on Jacob according to ways his according to deeds his he will repay to him.

Therfor the doom of the Lord is with Juda, and visityng is on Jacob; bi the weies of hym, and bi the fyndyngis of hym he schal yelde to hym.

3 In the womb he took by [the] heel brother his and in manly vigor his he struggled with God.

In the wombe he supplauntide his brother, and in his strengthe he was dressid with the aungel.

4 And he struggled against an angel and he prevailed he wept and he sought favor to him Beth-el he found him and there he spoke with us.

And he was strong to the aungel, and was coumfortid; he wepte, and preiede hym; in Bethel he foond hym, and there he spak with vs.

5 And Yahweh [the] God of hosts Yahweh [is] memorial his.

And the Lord God of oostis, the Lord, is the memorial of hym.

6 And you in God your you will return loyalty and justice keep and wait to God your continually.

And thou schalt turne to thi God. Kepe thou merci and doom, and hope thou euere in thi God.

7 Canaan [who are] in hand his scales of deceit to defraud he loves.

Chanaan louyde fals caleng, a gileful balaunce in his hond.

8 And he has said Ephraim surely I have become rich I have found wealth for myself all toil my not people will find to me iniquity which [is] sin.

And Effraym seide, Netheles Y am maad riche, Y haue founde an idol to me; alle my trauelis schulen not fynde to me the wickidnesse, whiche Y synnede.

9 And I [have been] Yahweh God your from [the] land of Egypt again I will cause to dwell you in tents like [the] days of an appointed feast.

And Y am thi Lord God fro the lond of Egipt; yit Y schal make thee to sitte in tabernaclis, as in the daies of feeste.

10 And I spoke to the prophets and I vision[s] I multiplied and by [the] hand of the prophets I gave parables.

And Y spak bi profetis, and Y multiplied profesie, and Y was licned in the hond of profetis.

11 [is] Gilead Wickedness surely worthlessness they are in Gilgal bulls they have sacrificed also altars their [are] like heaps of stones on [the] furrows of a field.

If Galaad worschipith an idol, therfor thei erren in veyn offryng to oxis in Galgal; for whi and the auteris of hem schulen be as heepis on the forewis of the feeld.

12 And he fled Jacob [the] region of Aram and he served Israel for a wife and for a wife he kept [flocks].

Jacob fledde in to the cuntrei of Sirie, and Israel seruyde for a wijf, and seruyde, ether kepte, for a wijf.

13 And by a prophet he brought up Yahweh Israel from Egypt and by a prophet he was kept.

But bi a profete the Lord ledde Israel out of Egipt, and bi a profete he was kept.

14 He has provoked to anger Ephraim bitterness and blood his on him he will leave and reproach his he will repay to him lord his.

Effraym terride me to wrathfulnesse in hise bitternessis, and the blood of hym schal come on hym; and his Lord schal restore to hym the schenschipe of him.
