¹Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.

¹Ne raduj se, o Izrael, da bi poskakoval kakor ljudstva; kajti nečistoval si, ko si se izneveril Bogu svojemu, ljubil si ljubovniško plačilo na vseh gumnih.

²The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

²Gumno in tlačilnica jim ne dasta živeža in mošta jim bo zmanjkalo.

³They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

³Ne bodo prebivali v deželi GOSPODOVI, temuč Efraim se povrne v Egipt, in nečiste jedi bodo jedli v Asiriji.

⁴They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, 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 for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

⁴Ne bodo GOSPODU darovali vina in njih klalne daritve mu ne bodo prijetne, bodo jim kakor kruh žalujočih; vsi, ki bodo od njih jedli, se onečistijo, kajti njih jed je zanje same, ne pride v hišo GOSPODOVO.

⁵What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

⁵Kaj boste počeli v dan prazničnega zbora in v dan praznika GOSPODOVEGA?

⁶For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

⁶Kajti glej, ko se preselijo zaradi razdejanja, jih zbere Egipt, Memf jih pokoplje; njih srebrne dragotine si prilasti kopriva, trnje bode v njih šatorih.

⁷The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.

⁷Prišli so dnevi obiskovanja, prišli so dnevi povračila; Izrael bo zvedel. Prorok je blazen, človek, ki ima duha, je zmešane pameti, zato ker je obila krivica tvoja in sovražnost tvoja velika.

⁸The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

⁸Efraim gleda po razodetju zraven mojega Boga; na vseh prorokovih potih je ptičarjeva zanka, sovraštvo v hiši Boga njegovega.

⁹They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

⁹Globoko so se popačili kakor v času Gibee. Bog se spomni njih krivice, kaznoval bo njih grehe.

¹⁰I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

¹⁰Našel sem Izraela kakor grozdje v puščavi; videl sem očete vaše kakor prvino smokovega drevesa v zgodnji dobi njegovi. Oni pa so šli v Baal-peor in se posvetili sramoti in so postali gnusobni kakor tisti, katerega so ljubili.

¹¹As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

¹¹Efraimova slava odleti kakor ptica. Ne bo poroda, ne noseče, ne spočetja;

¹²Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

¹²in ko bi tudi zredili sinove svoje, storim vendar, da bodo brez otrok, da ne ostane moža; kajti gorje jim, kadar odstopim od njih!

¹³Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

¹³Efraim je, kakor vidim, zasajen kakor Tir na lepem kraju; toda Efraim mora peljati otroke svoje ven k ubijalcu.

¹⁴Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

¹⁴Daj jim, o GOSPOD – kaj jim hočeš dati? – daj jim nerodovitna telesa in suhe prsi!

¹⁵All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

¹⁵Vsa njih hudobnost izvira v Gilgalu, tako da sem jih tam zasovražil. Zavoljo hudobnosti njih dejanj jih preženem iz hiše svoje; ne bom jih več ljubil; vsi njih poglavarji so odpadniki.

¹⁶Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

¹⁶Efraim je udarjen: njih korenina se je posušila, sadu ne obrodé več; celo ko bi rodili, usmrtim ljubčke njih telesa.Bog moj jih zavrže, ker ga niso poslušali; in klatili se bodo med narodi.

¹⁷My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

¹⁷Bog moj jih zavrže, ker ga niso poslušali; in klatili se bodo med narodi.
