1 Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor.
2 The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them.
3 They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria.
4 They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.
5 What will you do on the day of worship, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.
7 The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.
8 There is great hate against the watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God; as for the prophet, there is a net in all his ways, and hate in the house of his God.
9 They have gone deep in evil as in the days of Gibeah; he will keep in mind their wrongdoing, he will give them punishment for their sins.
10 I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.
12 Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.
13 As I have seen a beast whose young have been taken from her, so Ephraim will give birth to children only for them to be put to death.
14 O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.
15 All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.
16 The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.
17 My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him; they will be wandering among the nations.
1 以色列啊！ 不要欢喜； 不要像外族人一样快乐， 因为你行了邪淫， 离开你的 神， 在各打谷场上喜爱卖淫的赏赐。
2 打谷场和榨酒池不能喂养他们， 新酒也必使他们失望。
3 他们必不得住在耶和华之地； 以法莲要回到埃及去， 要在亚述吃不洁之物。
4 他们必不得向耶和华奠酒， 他们的祭物也不能使他喜悦。他们的饼好像丧家的饼， 凡吃这饼的， 都必被玷污； 因为他们的饼只可自己吃， 不可带进耶和华的殿。
5 那么， 在规定集会的日子和耶和华节期的时候， 你们能作什么？
6 看哪！ 他们逃到亚述去， 埃及要收殓他们， 摩弗要埋葬他们。他们珍贵的银器必为蒺藜所占有， 他们的帐棚必长满荆棘。
7 惩罚的日子临近， 报应的时候来到， 以色列必定知道， 因着你们众多的罪孽和深仇大恨， 先知被看为愚昧， 受灵感动的人被当作疯子。
8 先知与 神一同作以法莲的守望者， 在他所行的一切路上， 都满有捕鸟人的网罗， 在他 神的家中只有仇恨。
9 以法莲深深败坏， 如同在基比亚的日子一般。 神必记得他们的罪孽， 惩罚他们的罪恶。
10 "我遇见以色列， 好像在旷野里遇见葡萄。我看见你们的列祖， 像看见无花果树初熟的果子。他们却来到巴力．毗珥， 专作羞耻的事， 成为可憎恶的， 像他们所爱的偶像一样。
11 至于以法莲， 他们的荣耀必如鸟儿飞逝； 没有生育， 没有怀胎， 没有成孕。
12 即使他们把儿女养大， 我也必使他们丧子， 一个不留。我离弃他们的时候， 他们就有祸了。"
13 在我看来， 以法莲的儿女注定被当作猎物； 以法莲要把自己的儿女带出来， 交给施行杀戮的人。
14 耶和华啊， 求你赐给他们； 你要赐给他们什么呢？求你使他们坠胎小产， 乳房萎缩。
15 "他们的一切罪恶都在吉甲， 我在那里憎恨他们， 因他们的恶行， 我要把他们从我的家里赶出来； 我不再爱他们， 他们的领袖都是叛徒。
16 以法莲被击打， 他们的根枯干了， 必不能再结果子。即使他们生产， 我必杀死他们所生的爱子。"
17 我的 神必弃绝他们， 因为他们不听从他； 他们必在列国中飘流。
