Bible Question:
Hosea 11:12 is translated differently in the Bible in various translations especially the phrase about Judah. Could you help me understand why? Thanks in advance |
Bible Answer: Hello mollahk! Here are some different translations for Hosea 11:12.. (ASV) Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One. (Darby) Ephraim encompasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet walketh with *God, and with the holy things of truth. (Douay Rheims) Ephraim hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is faithful with the saints. (FLS) (12:1) Éphraïm m'entoure de mensonge, Et la maison d'Israël de tromperie; Juda est encore sans frein vis-à-vis de Dieu, Vis-à-vis du Saint fidèle. (GLB) In Ephraim ist allenthalben Lügen wider mich und im Hause Israel falscher Gottesdienst. Aber auch Juda hält nicht fest an Gott und an dem Heiligen, der treu ist. (Hebrew) (12:1) ynbbs vxkb Myrpa hmrmbw tyb larvy hdwhyw de dr la-Me Myvwdq-Mew .Nman (KJV) Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints. (LITV) Ephraim circles around Me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still rules with God and is faithful with the saints. (MKJV) Ephraim circles around Me with lying, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah still rules with God, and is faithful with the saints. (NASB) "12 Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah is also unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful." (NKJV) 12 “Ephraim has encircled Me with lies, And the house of Israel with deceit; But Judah still walks with God, Even with the £Holy One who is faithful." (NAB) (12:1) Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, the house of Israel, with deceit; Judah is still rebellious against God, against the Holy One, who is faithful. (PJFA) Efraim me cercou com mentira, e a casa de Israel com engano; mas Judá ainda domina com Deus, e com o Santo está fiel. (SRV) (12:1) CERCOME Ephraim con mentira, y la casa de Israel con engaño: mas Judá aún domina con Dios, y es fiel con los santos. (SSE) Me cercó Efraín con mentira, y la Casa de Israel con engaño; mas Judá aún domina con Dios, y es fiel con los santos. (WEB) Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, And the house of Israel with deceit; And Judah still us unruly with God, And is unfaithful to the Holy One. (Webster) Ephraim encompasseth me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints. (YLT) Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones is faithful! Why is there such a discrepancy between the Word English Bible (WEB) and Young's Literal Translation (YLT), the NASB and the NKJV? After looking at the different translations, I am convinced that this is a textual issue. The Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary states, "Hos 11:12 - MAURER joins this verse with the twelfth chapter. But as this verse praises Judah, whereas Hos_12:2 censures him, it must belong rather to the eleventh chapter and a new prophecy begins at the twelfth chapter. To avoid this, MAURER translates this verse as a censure, "Judah wanders with God," that is, though having the true God, he wanders after false gods." If I find anything more, I will post it..
