¹When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.

¹لما كان اسرائيل غلاما احببته ومن مصر دعوت ابني.

²As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.

²كل ما دعوهم ذهبوا من امامهم يذبحون للبعليم ويبخّرون للتماثيل المنحوتة.

³I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.

³وانا درّجت افرايم ممسكا اياهم باذرعهم فلم يعرفوا اني شفيتهم.

⁴I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat unto them.

⁴كنت اجذبهم بحبال البشر بربط المحبة وكنت لهم كمن يرفع النير عن اعناقهم ومددت اليه مطعما اياه

⁵He shall not return into the land of Egypt, and the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.

⁵لا يرجع الى ارض مصر بل اشور هو ملكه. لانهم أبوا ان يرجعوا

⁶And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

⁶يثور السيف في مدنهم ويتلف عصيّها وياكلهم من اجل آرائهم.

⁷And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt him.

⁷وشعبي جانحون الى الارتداد عني فيدعونهم الى العلي ولا احد يرفعه.

⁸How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.

⁸كيف اجعلك يا افرايم. اصيّرك يا اسرائيل. كيف اجعلك كأدمة. اصنعك كصبوييم. قد انقلب عليّ قلبي. اضطرمت مراحمي جميعا.

⁹I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

⁹لا اجري حمو غضبي لا اعود اخرب افرايم لاني الله لا انسان القدوس في وسطك فلا آتي بسخط

¹⁰They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.

¹⁰وراء الرب يمشون. كاسد يزمجر. فانه يزمجر فيسرع البنون من البحر.

¹¹They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.

¹¹يسرعون كعصفور من مصر وكحمامة من ارض اشور فأسكنهم في بيوتهم يقول الرب.

¹²Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.

¹²قد احاط بي افرايم بالكذب وبيت اسرائيل بالمكر ولم يزل يهوذا شاردا عن الله وعن القدوس الامين
