Hosea 7

1 Whanne Y wolde heele Israel, the wickidnesse of Effraym was schewid, and the malice of Samarie was schewid, for thei wrouyten a leesyng. And a niyt theef entride, and robbid; a dai theef was withoutforth.

2 And lest thei seien in her hertis, that Y haue mynde on al the malice of hem, now her fyndyngis han cumpassid hem, tho ben maad bifor my face.

and not to say to/for heart their all distress: evil their to remember now to turn: surround them deed their before face my to be

3 In her malice thei gladiden the kyng, and in her leesyngys `thei gladiden the princes.

in/on/with distress: evil their to rejoice king and in/on/with lie their ruler

4 Alle that doen auoutrie, ben as an ouene maad hoot of a bakere. The citee restide a litil fro the medlyng of sour douy, til al was maad sour `of sour douy.

all their to commit adultery like oven to burn: burn from to bake to cease to rouse from to knead dough till to leaven he

5 The dai of oure kyng; the princis bigunnen to be wood of wyn; he stretchide forth his hoond with scorneris.

day king our be weak: ill ruler rage from wine to draw hand his with to mock

6 For thei applieden her herte as an ouene, whanne he settide tresoun to hem. Al the niyt he slepte bakynge hem, in the morewtid he was maad hoot, as the fier of flawme.

for to present: come like/as oven heart their in/on/with ambush their all [the] night sleeping to bake their morning he/she/it to burn: burn like/as fire flame

7 Alle weren maad hoot as an ouene, and thei deuouriden her iugis. Alle the kyngis of hem fellen doun, and noon is among hem that crieth to me.

8 Effraym hym silf was medlid among puplis; Effraym was maad a loof bakun vndur aischis, which is not turned ayen.

10 And the pride of Israel schal be maad low in the face therof; thei turneden not ayen to her Lord God, and thei souyten not hym in alle these thingis.

and to answer pride Israel in/on/with face his and not to return: return to(wards) LORD God their and not to seek him in/on/with all this

11 And Effraym was maad as a culuer disseyued, not hauynge herte. Thei clepiden Egipt to help, thei yeden to Assiriens.

and to be Ephraim like/as dove to entice nothing heart Egypt to call: call to Assyria to go: went

12 And whanne thei ben goen forth, Y schal sprede abrood on hem my net, Y schal drawe hem doun as a brid of the eir. Y schal beete hem, bi the heryng of the cumpany of hem.

like/as as which to go: went to spread upon them net my like/as bird [the] heaven to go down them to discipline them like/as report to/for congregation their

13 Wo to hem, for thei yeden awei fro me; thei schulen be distried, for thei trespassiden ayens me. And Y ayenbouyte hem, and thei spaken leesyngis ayenus me.
