¹افرايم راعي الريح وتابع الريح الشرقية. كل يوم يكثر الكذب والاغتصاب ويقطعون مع اشور عهدا والزيت الى مصر يجلب.

¹Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

²فللرب خصام مع يهوذا وهو مزمع ان يعاقب يعقوب بحسب طرقه. بحسب افعاله يرد عليه

²Jehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.

³في البطن قبض بعقب اخيه وبقوّته جاهد مع الله.

³In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God:

⁴جاهد مع الملاك وغلب. بكى واسترحمه. وجده في بيت ايل وهناك تكلم معنا.

⁴yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us,

⁵والرب اله الجنود يهوه اسمه.

⁵even Jehovah, the God of hosts; Jehovah is his memorial [name].

⁶وانت فارجع الى الهك. احفظ الرحمة والحق وانتظر الهك دائما

⁶Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep kindness and justice, and wait for thy God continually.

⁷مثل الكنعاني في يده موازين الغش. يحب ان يظلم.

⁷[He is] a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.

⁸فقال افرايم اني صرت غنيا. وجدت لنفسي ثروة. جميع اتعابي لا يجدون لي فيها ذنبا هو خطية.

⁸And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin.

⁹وانا الرب الهك من ارض مصر حتى اسكنك الخيام كايام الموسم.

⁹But I am Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.

¹⁰وكلّمت الانبياء وكثّرت الرؤى وبيد الانبياء مثّلت امثالا.

¹⁰I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes.

¹¹انهم في جلعاد قد صاروا اثما بطلا لا غير. في الجلجال ذبحوا ثيرانا ومذابحهم كرجم في اتلام الحقل.

¹¹Is Gilead iniquity? they are altogether false; in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.

¹²وهرب يعقوب الى صحراء ارام وخدم اسرائيل لاجل امرأة ولاجل امرأة رعى

¹²And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].

¹³وبنبيّ اصعد الرب اسرائيل من مصر وبنبيّ‎حفظ.

¹³And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.

¹⁴اغاظه اسرائيل بمرارة فيترك دماءه عليه ويردّ سيده عاره عليه

¹⁴Ephraim hath provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore shall his blood be left upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
