1 قولوا لاخواتكم عمّي ولاخوتكم رحامة.2 حاكموا امكم حاكموا لانها ليست امرأتي وانا لست رجلها لكي تعزل زناها عن وجهها وفسقها من بين ثدييها3 لئلا اجرّدها عريانة واوقفها كيوم ولادتها واجعلها كقفر واصيرها كارض يابسة واميتها بالعطش.4 ولا ارحم اولادها لانهم اولاد زنى5 لان امهم قد زنت. التي حبلت بهم صنعت خزيا. لانها قالت اذهب وراء محبيّ الذين يعطون خبزي ومائي صوفي وكتاني زيتي واشربتي.6 لذلك هانذا اسيج طريقك بالشوك وابني حائطها حتى لا تجد مسالكها.7 فتتبع محبيها ولا تدركهم وتفتش عليهم ولا تجدهم. فتقول اذهب وارجع الى رجلي الاول لانه حينئذ كان خير لي من الآن8 وهي لم تعرف اني انا اعطيتها القمح والمسطار والزيت وكثّرت لها فضة وذهبا جعلوه لبعل.9 لذلك ارجع وآخذ قمحي في حينه ومسطاري في وقته وانزع صوفي وكتاني اللذين لستر عورتها.10 والآن اكشف عورتها امام عيون محبيها ولا ينقذها احد من يدي11 وابطّل كل افراحها اعيادها ورؤوس شهورها وسبوتها وجميع مواسمها.12 واخرّب كرمها وتينها اللذين قالت هما اجرتي التي اعطانيها محبيّ واجعلهما وعرا فيأكلهما حيوان البرية.13 واعاقبها على ايام بعليم التي فيها كانت تبخر لهم وتتزين بخزائمها وحليها وتذهب وراء محبيها وتنساني انا يقول الرب14 لكن هانذا اتملقها واذهب بها الى البرية والاطفها15 واعطيها كرومها من هناك ووادي عخور بابا للرجاء وهي تغني هناك كايام صباها وكيوم صعودها من ارض مصر.16 ويكون في ذلك اليوم يقول الرب انك تدعينني رجلي ولا تدعينني بعد بعلي.17 وانزع اسماء البعليم من فمها فلا تذكر ايضا باسمائها.18 واقطع لهم عهدا في ذلك اليوم مع حيوان البرية وطيور السماء ودبابات الارض واكسر القوس والسيف والحرب من الارض واجعلهم يضطجعون آمنين.19 واخطبك لنفسي الى الابد واخطبك لنفسي بالعدل والحق والاحسان والمراحم.20 اخطبك لنفسي بالامانة فتعرفين الرب.21 ويكون في ذلك اليوم اني استجيب يقول الرب استجيب السموات وهي تستجيب الارض22 والارض تستجيب القمح والمسطار والزيت وهي تستجيب يزرعيل.23 وازرعها لنفسي في الارض وارحم لورحامة واقول للوعمّي انت شعبي وهو يقول انت الهي

1 Say you to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.2 Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her prostitutions out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts;3 Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.4 And I will not have mercy on her children; for they be the children of prostitutions.5 For their mother has played the harlot: she that conceived them has done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.8 For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal.9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness.10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.12 And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, whereof she has said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.13 And I will visit on her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, said the LORD.14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her.15 And I will give her her vineyards from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.16 And it shall be at that day, said the LORD, that you shall call me Ishi; and shall call me no more Baali.17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.19 And I will betroth you to me for ever; yes, I will betroth you to me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving kindness, and in mercies.20 I will even betroth you to me in faithfulness: and you shall know the LORD.21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, said the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;22 And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel.23 And I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy on her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, You are my people; and they shall say, You are my God.
