¹حينما كنت اشفي اسرائيل أعلن اثم افرايم وشرور السامرة فانهم قد صنعوا غشا. السارق دخل والغزاة نهبوا في الخارج.

¹When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers assaileth without.

²ولا يفتكرون في قلوبهم اني قد تذكرت كل شرهم. الآن قد احاطت بهم افعالهم. صارت امام وجهي

²And they say not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now do their own doings encompass them; they are before my face.

³بشرّهم يفرّحون الملك وبكذبهم الرؤساء.

³They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.

⁴كلهم فاسقون كتنور محمى من الخباز. يبطّل الايقاد من وقتما يعجن العجين الى ان يختمر.

⁴They all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring [the fire] after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.

⁵يوم ملكنا يمرض الرؤساء من سورة الخمر. يبسط يده مع المستهزئين.

⁵In the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners.

⁶لانهم يقربون قلوبهم في مكيدتهم كالتنور. كل الليل ينام خبازهم وفي الصباح يكون محمى كنار ملتهبة.

⁶For they have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth like a flaming fire.

⁷كلهم حامون كالتنور واكلوا قضاتهم. جميع ملوكهم سقطوا. ليس بينهم من يدعو اليّ

⁷They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.

⁸افرايم يختلط بالشعوب. افرايم صار خبز ملّة لم يقلب.

⁸Ephraim, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

⁹اكل الغرباء ثروته وهو لا يعرف وقد رشّ عليه الشيب وهو لا يعرف.

⁹Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [it] not.

¹⁰وقد أذلّت عظمة اسرائيل في وجهه وهم لا يرجعون الى الرب الههم ولا يطلبونه مع كل هذا.

¹⁰And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Jehovah their God, nor seek him for all this.

¹¹وصار افرايم كحمامة رعناء بلا قلب. يدعون مصر. يمضون الى اشور.

¹¹And Ephraim is become like a silly dove without understanding: they call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

¹²عندما يمضون ابسط عليهم شبكتي. القيهم كطيور السماء. أودّبهم بحسب خبر جماعتهم

¹²When they go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowl of the heavens; I will chastise them, according as their assembly hath heard.

¹³ويل لهم لانهم هربوا عني. تبّا لهم لانهم اذنبوا اليّ. انا افديهم وهم تكلموا عليّ بكذب.

¹³Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against me. And I would redeem them; but they speak lies against me.

¹⁴ولا يصرخون اليّ بقلوبهم حينما يولولون على مضاجعهم. يتجمعون لاجل القمح والخمر ويرتدّون عني.

¹⁴And they cried not unto me in their heart, when they howled upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and new wine; they have turned aside from me.

¹⁵وانا انذرتهم وشددت اذرعهم وهم يفكرون عليّ بالشر.

¹⁵I have indeed trained, I have strengthened their arms, but they imagine mischief against me.

¹⁶يرجعون ليس الى العلي. قد صاروا كقوس مخطئة. يسقط رؤساؤهم بالسيف من اجل سخط ألسنتهم. هذا هزؤهم في ارض مصر

¹⁶They return, [but] not to the [Most] High: they are like a deceitful bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
