1 Do not rejoice, Israel; do not be jubilant like the other nations. For you have been unfaithful to your God; you love the wages of a prostitute at every threshing floor.2 Threshing floors and winepresses will not feed the people; the new wine will fail them.3 They will not remain in the LORD's land; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.4 They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD, nor will their sacrifices please him. Such sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat them will be unclean. This food will be for themselves; it will not come into the temple of the LORD.5 What will you do on the day of your appointed festivals, on the feast days of the LORD?6 Even if they escape from destruction, Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them. Their treasures of silver will be taken over by briers, and thorns will overrun their tents.7 The days of punishment are coming, the days of reckoning are at hand. Let Israel know this. Because your sins are so many and your hostility so great, the prophet is considered a fool, the inspired person a maniac.8 The prophet, along with my God, is the watchman over Ephraim, "yet snares await him on all his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.9 They have sunk deep into corruption, as in the days of Gibeah. God will remember their wickedness and punish them for their sins.10 "When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the desert; when I saw your ancestors, it was like seeing the early fruit on the fig tree. But when they came to Baal Peor, they consecrated themselves to that shameful idol and became as vile as the thing they loved.11 Ephraim's glory will fly away like a bird — no birth, no pregnancy, no conception.12 Even if they rear children, I will bereave them of every one. Woe to them when I turn away from them!13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim will bring out their children to the slayer."14 Give them, LORD — what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry.15 "Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, I hated them there. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.16 Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring."17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed him; they will be wanderers among the nations.

1 لا تفرح يا اسرائيل طربا كالشعوب. لانك قد زنيت عن الهك. احببت الاجرة على جميع بيادر الحنطة.2 لا يطعمهم البيدر والمعصرة ويكذب عليهم المسطار.3 لا يسكنون في ارض الرب بل يرجع افرايم الى مصر ويأكلون النجس في اشور.4 لا يسكبون للرب خمرا ولا تسرّه ذبائحهم. انها لهم كخبز الحزن كل من اكله يتنجس. ان خبزهم لنفسهم. لا يدخل بيت الرب.5 ماذا تصنعون في يوم الموسم وفي يوم عيد الرب.6 انهم قد ذهبوا من الخراب. تجمعهم مصر. تدفنهم موف. يرث القريص نفائس فضتهم يكون العوسج في منازلهم.7 جاءت ايام العقاب. جاءت ايام الجزاء. سيعرف اسرائيل. النبي احمق. انسان الروح مجنون من كثرة اثمك وكثرة الحقد.8 افرايم منتظر عند الهي. النبي فخ صيّاد على جميع طرقه. حقد في بيت الهه.9 قد توغّلوا فسدوا كايام جبعة. سيذكر اثمهم. سيعاقب خطاياهم10 وجدت اسرائيل كعنب في البرية. رأيت آباءكم كباكورة على تينة في اولها. اما هم فجاءوا الى بعل فغور ونذروا انفسهم للخزي وصاروا رجسا كما احبوا.11 افرايم تطير كرامتهم كطائر من الولادة ومن البطن ومن الحبل.12 وان ربّوا اولادهم اثكلهم اياهم حتى لا يكون انسان. ويل لهم ايضا متى انصرفت عنهم.13 افرايم كما ارى كصور مغروس في مرعى ولكن افرايم سيخرج بنيه الى القاتل.14 اعطهم يا رب. ماذا تعطي. اعطهم رحما مسقطا وثديين يبسين15 كل شرهم في الجلجال. اني هناك ابغضتهم. من اجل سوء افعالهم اطردهم من بيتي. لا اعود احبهم. جميع رؤسائهم متمردون.16 افرايم مضروب. اصلهم قد جف. لا يصنعون ثمرا. وان ولدوا أميت مشتهيات بطونهم.17 يرفضهم الهي لانهم لم يسمعوا له. فيكونون تائهين بين الامم
