God Yearns over His People

1 When Israēl was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

11:1 διότι νήπιος Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἠγάπησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου μετεκάλεσα τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ. 11:1 ὄρθρου ἀπερρίφησαν, ἀπερρίφη βασιλεὺς Ἰσραήλ·
ὅτι νήπιος Ἰσραήλ, καὶ ἐγὼ ἠγάπησα αὐτὸν καὶ ἐξ Αἰγύπτου μετεκάλεσα τὰ τέκνα αὐτοῦ.
11:1 Because Israēl was an infant, and I loved him, and out of Egypt I summoned his children. 11:1 At dawn they were thrown away; Israēl's king was thrown away; because Israēl was an infant, and I loved him, and out of Egypt I summoned his children.

2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baals, and burned incense to carved images.

11:2 καθὼς μετεκάλεσα αὐτούς, οὕτως ἀπῴχοντο ἐκ προσώπου μου·
αὐτοὶ τοῖς Βααλὶμ ἔθυον καὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς ἐθυμίων. 		11:2 καθὼς μετεκάλεσα αὐτούς, οὕτως ἀπῴχοντο ἐκ προσώπου μου·
αὐτοὶ τοῖς Βααλεὶμ ἔθυον καὶ τοῖς γλυπτοῖς ἐθυμίων.
11:2 As I summoned them, so they moved away from my presence; they kept sacrificing to the Baals and offering incense to carvings. 11:2 As I summoned them, so they moved away from my presence; they kept sacrificing to the Baaleim and offering incense to carvings.

3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they didn't know that I healed them.

11:3 καὶ ἐγὼ συνεπόδισα τὸν Ἐφραίμ, ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονά μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι ἴαμαι αὐτούς. 11:3 καὶ ἐγὼ συνεπόδισα τὸν Ἐφραίμ, ἀνέλαβον αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸν βραχίονά μου, καὶ οὐκ ἔγνωσαν ὅτι ἴαμαι αὐτούς.
11:3 And I shackled the feet of Ephraim; I took him on my arm; and they didn't know that I had healed them. 11:3 And I shackled the feet of Ephraim; I took him on my arm; and they didn't know that I had healed them.

4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they who take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid food to them.

11:4 ἐν διαφθορᾷ ἀνθρώπων ἐξέτεινα αὐτοὺς ἐν δεσμοῖς ἀγαπήσεώς μου καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς ὡς ῥαπίζων ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τὰς σιαγόνας αὐτοῦ·
καὶ ἐπιβλέψομαι πρὸς αὐτόν, δυνήσομαι αὐτῷ. 		11:4 ἐν διαφθορᾷ ἀνθρώπων ἐξέτεινα αὐτοὺς ἐν δεσμοῖς ἀγαπήσεώς μου καὶ ἔσομαι αὐτοῖς ὡς ῥαπίζων ἄνθρωπος ἐπὶ τὰς σιαγόνας αὐτοῦ·
καὶ ἐπιβλέψομαι πρὸς αὐτόν, δυνήσομαι αὐτῷ.
11:4 Within the ruin of men, I stretched them out with the chains of my love. And I will be to them like a man striking his cheeks. And I will watch him attentively; I will prevail with him. 11:4 Within the ruin of men, I stretched them out with the chains of my love. And I will be to them like a man striking his cheeks.

5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

11:5 κατῴκησεν Ἐφραὶμ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ Ἀσσοὺρ αὐτός, βασιλεὺς αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐπιστρέψαι. 11:5 κατῴκησεν Ἐφραὶμ ἐν Αἰγύπτῳ, καὶ Ἀσσοὺρ αὐτὸς βασιλεὺς αὐτοῦ, ὅτι οὐκ ἠθέλησεν ἐπιστρέψαι.
11:5 Ephraim settled in Egypt, and Assour himself was his king, because they didn't want to return. 11:5 Ephraim settled in Egypt, and Assour himself was his king, because they didn't want to return.

6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

11:6 καὶ ἠσθένησεν ῥομφαία ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ φάγονται ἐκ τῶν διαβουλίων αὐτῶν. 11:6 καὶ ἠσθένησε ῥομφαία ἐν ταῖς πόλεσιν αὐτοῦ καὶ κατέπαυσεν ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ, καὶ φάγονται ἐκ τῶν διαβουλίων αὐτῶν.
11:6 And the sword was weak in his cities and ceased in his hands. And they shall eat from their plots. 11:6 And the sword was weak in his cities and ceased in his hands. And they shall eat from their plots.

7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

11:7 καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπικρεμάμενος ἐκ τῆς κατοικίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ θεὸς ἐπὶ τὰ τίμια αὐτοῦ θυμωθήσεται, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑψώσῃ αὐτόν. 11:7 καὶ ὁ λαὸς αὐτοῦ ἐπικρεμάμενος ἐκ τῆς κατοικίας αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ Θεὸς ἐπὶ τὰ τίμια αὐτοῦ θυμωθήσεται, καὶ οὐ μὴ ὑψώσῃ αὐτόν.
11:7 And his people are hanging from his dwelling place, and God will be angered at his precious things and will not lift him up. 11:7 And his people are hanging from his dwelling place, and God will be angered at his precious things and will not lift him up.

8 How shall I give you up, Ephraim? How shall I deliver you, Israēl? How shall I make you as Admah? How shall I set you as Zeboim? My heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

11:8 τί σὲ διαθῶ, Ἐφραίμ;
ὑπερασπιῶ σου, Ἰσραήλ;
τί σὲ διαθῶ;
ὡς Ἀδαμὰ θήσομαί σὲ καὶ ὡς Σεβωῒμ;
μετεστράφη ἡ καρδία μου ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ, συνεταράχθη ἡ μεταμέλειά μου. 		11:8 τί σε διαθῶμαι, Ἐφραίμ;
ὑπερασπιῶ σου, Ἰσραήλ;
τί σε διαθῶ;
ὡς Ἀδαμὰ θήσομαί σε καὶ ὡς Σεβοείμ;
μετεστράφη ἡ καρδία μου ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ, συνεταράχθη ἡ μεταμέλειά μου.
11:8 How am I to treat you, Oh Ephraim? Shall I shield you, Oh Israēl? How am I to treat you? Shall I make you like Adama and like Sebōim? My heart was turned around in them; my sense of regret was confounded. 11:8 How am I to treat you, Oh Ephraim? Shall I shield you, Oh Israēl? How am I to treat you? Shall I make you like Adama and like Sebōeim? My heart was turned around in them; my sense of regret was confounded.

9 I won't execute the fierceness of my anger, I won't return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; and I won't enter into the city.

11:9 οὐ μὴ ποιήσω κατὰ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ θυμοῦ μου, οὐ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπω τοῦ ἐξαλειφθῆναι τὸν Ἐφραίμ·
διότι θεὸς ἐγώ εἰμι καὶ οὐκ ἄνθρωπος·
ἐν σοί ἅγιος, καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς πόλιν. 		11:9 οὐ μὴ ποιήσω κατὰ τὴν ὀργὴν τοῦ θυμοῦ μου, οὐ μὴ ἐγκαταλίπω τοῦ ἐξαλειφθῆναι τὸν Ἐφραίμ·

ἐν σοί ἅγιος, καὶ οὐκ εἰσελεύσομαι εἰς πόλιν.

10 They shall walk after Yahweh: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

11:10 ὀπίσω κυρίου πορεύσομαι·
ὡς λέων ἐρεύξεται, ὅτι αὐτὸς ὠῥύσεται, καὶ ἐκστήσονται τέκνα ὑδάτων. 		11:10 ὀπίσω Κυρίου πορεύσομαι·

11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will place them in their houses, says Yahweh.

11:11 καὶ ἐκστήσονται ὡς ὄρνεον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ὡς περιστερὰ ἐκ γῆς Ἀσσυρίων·
καὶ ἀποκαταστήσω αὐτοὺς εἰς τοὺς οἴκους αὐτῶν, λέγει κύριος. 		11:11 ἐκστήσονται ὡς ὄρνεον ἐξ Αἰγύπτου καὶ ὡς περιστερὰ ἐκ γῆς Ἀσσυρίων·

12 [M 12:1] Ephraim encircles me about with lies, and the house of Israēl with deceit; but Judah yet rules with God, and is faithful with the saints.

11:12 ἐκύκλωσέν με ἐν ψεύδει Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἐν ἀσεβείαις οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα.
νῦν ἔγνω αὐτοὺς ὁ θεός, καὶ λαὸς ἅγιος κεκλήσεται θεοῦ. 		11:12 ἐκύκλωσε με ἐν ψεύδει Ἐφραὶμ καὶ ἐν ἀσεβείας οἶκος Ἰσραὴλ καὶ Ἰούδα.
