Hosea 12

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 The people of Ephraim look to others for help. It's like chasing the wind. The wind they keep chasing is hot and dry. They tell more and more lies. They are always hurting others. They make a peace treaty with Assyria. They send olive oil to Egypt to get help.

2 The LORD is bringing charges against Judah. He will punish Jacob's people because of how they act. He'll pay them back for the evil things they've done.

3 Even before Jacob was born, he was holding on to his brother's heel. When he became a man, he struggled with God.

4 At Peniel he struggled with the angel and won. He sobbed and begged for his blessing. God also met with him at Bethel. He talked with him there.

5 He is the LORD God who rules over all. He wants us to remember that his name is The Lord.

6 People of Jacob, you must return to your God. You must hold on to love and do what is fair. You must trust in your God always.

7 You are like a trader who uses dishonest scales. You love to cheat others.

8 People of Ephraim, you brag, "We are very rich. We've become wealthy. And no one can prove we sinned to gain all of this wealth."

9 The LORD says, "I am the LORD your God. I brought you out of Egypt. But I will make you live in tents again. That is what you did when you celebrated the Feast of Booths in the desert.

10 I spoke to the prophets. They saw many visions. I gave you warnings through them."

11 The people of Gilead are evil! They aren't worth anything! Gilgal's people sacrifice bulls to other gods. Their altars will become like piles of stones on a plowed field.

12 Jacob ran away to the country of Aram. There Israel served Laban to get a wife. He took care of sheep to pay for her.

13 The prophet Moses brought Israel up from Egypt. The LORD used him to take care of them.

14 But Ephraim's people have made the LORD very angry. Their Lord will hold them accountable for the blood they've spilled. He'll pay them back for the shameful things they've done.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 Ephraim pascit ventum et sequitur aestum tota die mendacium et vastitatem multiplicat et foedus cum Assyriis iniit et oleum in Aegyptum ferebat

2 iudicium ergo Domini cum Iuda et visitatio super Iacob iuxta vias eius et iuxta adinventiones eius reddet ei

3 in utero subplantavit fratrem suum et in fortitudine sua directus est cum angelo

4 et invaluit ad angelum et confortatus est flevit et rogavit eum in Bethel invenit eum et ibi locutus est nobiscum

5 et Dominus Deus exercituum Dominus memoriale eius

6 et tu ad Deum tuum converteris misericordiam et iudicium custodi et spera in Deo tuo semper

7 Chanaan in manu eius statera dolosa calumniam dilexit

8 et dixit Ephraim verumtamen dives effectus sum inveni idolum mihi omnes labores mei non invenient mihi iniquitatem quam peccavi

9 et ego Dominus Deus tuus ex terra Aegypti adhuc sedere te faciam in tabernaculis sicut in diebus festivitatis

10 et locutus sum super prophetas et ego visionem multiplicavi et in manu prophetarum adsimilatus sum

11 si Galaad idolum tamen frustra erant in Galgal bubus immolantes nam et altaria eorum quasi acervi super sulcos agri

12 fugit Iacob in regionem Syriae et servivit Israhel in uxore et in uxore servavit

13 in propheta autem eduxit Dominus Israhel de Aegypto et in propheta servatus est

14 ad iracundiam me provocavit Ephraim in amaritudinibus suis et sanguis eius super eum veniet et obprobrium eius restituet ei Dominus suus
