1離棄 神的必將被擄以色列啊！不要歡喜；不要像外族人一樣快樂，因為你行了邪淫，離開你的 神，在各打穀場上喜愛賣淫的賞賜。
1Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, like the peoples; for thou hast played the harlot, [departing] from thy God; thou hast loved hire upon every grain-floor.
2打穀場和榨酒池不能餵養他們，新酒也必使他們失望。
2The threshing-floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
3他們必不得住在耶和華之地；以法蓮要回到埃及去，要在亞述吃不潔之物。
3They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
4他們必不得向耶和華奠酒，他們的祭物也不能使他喜悅。他們的餅好像喪家的餅，凡吃這餅的，都必被玷污；因為他們的餅只可自己吃，不可帶進耶和華的殿。
4They shall not pour out wine-offerings to Jehovah, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread shall be for their appetite; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
5那麼，在規定集會的日子和耶和華節期的時候，你們能作甚麼？
5What will ye do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
6看哪！他們逃到亞述去，埃及要收殮他們，摩弗要埋葬他們。他們珍貴的銀器必為蒺藜所佔有，他們的帳棚必長滿荊棘。
6For, lo, they are gone away from destruction; [yet] Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
7懲罰的日子臨近，報應的時候來到，以色列必定知道，因著你們眾多的罪孽和深仇大恨，先知被看為愚昧，受靈感動的人被當作瘋子。
7The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the man that hath the spirit is mad, for the abundance of thine iniquity, and because the enmity is great.
8先知與 神一同作以法蓮的守望者，在他所行的一切路上，都滿有捕鳥人的網羅，在他 神的家中只有仇恨。
8Ephraim [was] a watchman with my God: as for the prophet, a fowler's snare is in all his ways, [and] enmity in the house of his God.
9以法蓮深深敗壞，如同在基比亞的日子一般。 神必記得他們的罪孽，懲罰他們的罪惡。
9They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
10以色列犯罪及其後果“我遇見以色列，好像在曠野裡遇見葡萄。我看見你們的列祖，像看見無花果樹初熟的果子。他們卻來到巴力．毗珥，專作羞恥的事，成為可憎惡的，像他們所愛的偶像一樣。
10I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at its first season: but they came to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
11至於以法蓮，他們的榮耀必如鳥兒飛逝；沒有生育，沒有懷胎，沒有成孕。
11As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
12即使他們把兒女養大，我也必使他們喪子，一個不留。我離棄他們的時候，他們就有禍了。”
12Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, so that not a man shall be left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
13在我看來，以法蓮的兒女註定被當作獵物；以法蓮要把自己的兒女帶出來，交給施行殺戮的人。
13Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring out his children to the slayer.
14耶和華啊，求你賜給他們；你要賜給他們甚麼呢？求你使他們墜胎小產，乳房萎縮。
14Give them, O Jehovah-what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
15“他們的一切罪惡都在吉甲，我在那裡憎恨他們，因他們的惡行，我要把他們從我的家裡趕出來；我不再愛他們，他們的領袖都是叛徒。
15All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house; I will love them no more; all their princes are revolters.
16以法蓮被擊打，他們的根枯乾了，必不能再結果子。即使他們生產，我必殺死他們所生的愛子。”
16Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
17我的 神必棄絕他們，因為他們不聽從他；他們必在列國中飄流。
17My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
