¹قولوا لاخواتكم عمّي ولاخوتكم رحامة.

¹`Say ye to your brethren — Ammi, And to your sisters — Ruhamah.

²حاكموا امكم حاكموا لانها ليست امرأتي وانا لست رجلها لكي تعزل زناها عن وجهها وفسقها من بين ثدييها

²Plead ye with your mother — plead, (For she [is] not My wife, and I [am] not her husband,) And she turneth her whoredoms from before her, And her adulteries from between her breasts,

³لئلا اجرّدها عريانة واوقفها كيوم ولادتها واجعلها كقفر واصيرها كارض يابسة واميتها بالعطش.

³Lest I strip her naked. And have set her up as [in] the day of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set her as a dry land, And have put her to death with thirst.

⁴ولا ارحم اولادها لانهم اولاد زنى

⁴And her sons I do not pity, For sons of whoredoms [are] they,

⁵لان امهم قد زنت. التي حبلت بهم صنعت خزيا. لانها قالت اذهب وراء محبيّ الذين يعطون خبزي ومائي صوفي وكتاني زيتي واشربتي.

⁵For gone a-whoring hath their mother, Acted shamefully hath their conceiver, For she hath said, I go after my lovers, Those giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

⁶لذلك هانذا اسيج طريقك بالشوك وابني حائطها حتى لا تجد مسالكها.

⁶Therefore, lo, I am hedging up thy way with thorns, And I have made for her a wall, And her paths she doth not find.

⁷فتتبع محبيها ولا تدركهم وتفتش عليهم ولا تجدهم. فتقول اذهب وارجع الى رجلي الاول لانه حينئذ كان خير لي من الآن

⁷And she hath pursued her lovers, And she doth not overtake them, And hath sought them, and doth not find, And she hath said: I go, and I turn back unto My first husband, For — better to me then than now.

⁸وهي لم تعرف اني انا اعطيتها القمح والمسطار والزيت وكثّرت لها فضة وذهبا جعلوه لبعل.

⁸And she knew not that I had given to her, The corn, and the new wine, and the oil. Yea, silver I did multiply to her, And the gold they prepared for Baal.

⁹لذلك ارجع وآخذ قمحي في حينه ومسطاري في وقته وانزع صوفي وكتاني اللذين لستر عورتها.

⁹Therefore do I turn back, And I have taken My corn in its season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness.

¹⁰والآن اكشف عورتها امام عيون محبيها ولا ينقذها احد من يدي

¹⁰And now do I reveal her dishonour before the eyes of her lovers, And none doth deliver her out of My hand.

¹¹وابطّل كل افراحها اعيادها ورؤوس شهورها وسبوتها وجميع مواسمها.

¹¹And I have caused to cease all her joy, Her festival, her new moon, and her sabbath, Even all her appointed times,

¹²واخرّب كرمها وتينها اللذين قالت هما اجرتي التي اعطانيها محبيّ واجعلهما وعرا فيأكلهما حيوان البرية.

¹²And made desolate her vine and her fig-tree, Of which she said, A gift they [are] to me, That my lovers have given to me, And I have made them for a forest, And consumed them hath a beast of the field.

¹³واعاقبها على ايام بعليم التي فيها كانت تبخر لهم وتتزين بخزائمها وحليها وتذهب وراء محبيها وتنساني انا يقول الرب

¹³And I have charged on her the days of the Baalim, To whom she maketh perfume, And putteth on her ring and her ornament, And goeth after her lovers, And Me forgat — an affirmation of Jehovah.

¹⁴لكن هانذا اتملقها واذهب بها الى البرية والاطفها

¹⁴Therefore, lo, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken unto her heart,

¹⁵واعطيها كرومها من هناك ووادي عخور بابا للرجاء وهي تغني هناك كايام صباها وكيوم صعودها من ارض مصر.

¹⁵And given to her her vineyards from thence, And the valley of Achor for an opening of hope, And she hath responded there as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

¹⁶ويكون في ذلك اليوم يقول الرب انك تدعينني رجلي ولا تدعينني بعد بعلي.

¹⁶And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah, Thou dost call Me — My husband, And dost not call Me any more — My lord.

¹⁷وانزع اسماء البعليم من فمها فلا تذكر ايضا باسمائها.

¹⁷And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered any more by their name.

¹⁸واقطع لهم عهدا في ذلك اليوم مع حيوان البرية وطيور السماء ودبابات الارض واكسر القوس والسيف والحرب من الارض واجعلهم يضطجعون آمنين.

¹⁸And I have made to them a covenant in that day, with the beast of the field, And with the fowl of the heavens, And the creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down confidently.

¹⁹واخطبك لنفسي الى الابد واخطبك لنفسي بالعدل والحق والاحسان والمراحم.

¹⁹And I have betrothed thee to Me to the age, And betrothed thee to Me in righteousness, And in judgment, and kindness, and mercies,

²⁰اخطبك لنفسي بالامانة فتعرفين الرب.

²⁰And betrothed thee to Me in faithfulness, And thou hast known Jehovah.

²¹ويكون في ذلك اليوم اني استجيب يقول الرب استجيب السموات وهي تستجيب الارض

²¹And it hath come to pass in that day, I answer — an affirmation of Jehovah, I answer the heavens, and they answer the earth.

²²والارض تستجيب القمح والمسطار والزيت وهي تستجيب يزرعيل.

²²And the earth doth answer the corn, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer Jezreel.

²³وازرعها لنفسي في الارض وارحم لورحامة واقول للوعمّي انت شعبي وهو يقول انت الهي

²³And I have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, My people thou [art], and it saith, My God!`
