1	以色列啊，不要像外邦人歡喜快樂；因為你行邪淫離棄你的神，在各穀場上如妓女喜愛賞賜。
			Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
		2	穀場和酒醡都不夠以色列人使用；新酒也必缺乏。
			The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
		3	他們必不得住耶和華的地；以法蓮卻要歸回埃及，必在亞述吃不潔淨的食物。
			They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean in Assyria.
		4	他們必不得向耶和華奠酒，即便奠酒也不蒙悅納。他們的祭物必如居喪者的食物，凡吃的必被玷污；因他們的食物只為自己的口腹，必不奉入耶和華的殿。
			They shall not offer wine to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices 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.
		5	在大會的日子，到耶和華的節期，你們怎樣行呢？
			What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
		6	看哪，他們逃避災難；埃及人必收殮他們的屍首，摩弗人必葬埋他們的骸骨。他們用銀子做的美物上必長蒺藜；他們的帳棚中必生荊棘。
			For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns in their tabernacles.
		7	以色列人必知道降罰的日子臨近，報應的時候來到。民說：作先知的是愚昧；受靈感的是狂妄，皆因他們多多作孽，大懷怨恨。
			The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know : the prophet a fool, the spiritual man mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.
		8	以法蓮曾作我神守望的；至於先知，在他一切的道上作為捕鳥人的網羅，在他神的家中懷怨恨。
			The watchman of Ephraim with my God: the prophet a snare of a fowler in all his ways, hatred in the house of his God.
		9	以法蓮深深的敗壞，如在基比亞的日子一樣。耶和華必記念他們的罪孽，追討他們的罪惡。
			They have deeply corrupted , as in the days of Gibeah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
		10	主說：我遇見以色列如葡萄在曠野；我看見你們的列祖如無花果樹上春季初熟的果子。他們卻來到巴力毗珥專拜那可羞恥的，就成為可憎惡的，與他們所愛的一樣。
			I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto shame; and abominations were according as they loved.
		11	至於以法蓮人，他們的榮耀必如鳥飛去，必不生產，不懷胎，不成孕。
			# As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
		12	縱然養大兒女，我卻必使他們喪子，甚至不留一個。我離棄他們，他們就有禍了。
			Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, not a man : yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
		13	我看以法蓮如推羅栽於美地。以法蓮卻要將自己的兒女帶出來，交與行殺戮的人。
			Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
		14	耶和華啊，求你加給他們，加什麼呢？要使他們胎墜乳乾。
			Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
		15	耶和華說：他們一切的惡事都在吉甲；我在那裡憎惡他們。因他們所行的惡，我必從我地上趕出他們去，不再憐愛他們；他們的首領都是悖逆的。
			All their wickedness 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 revolters.
		16	以法蓮受責罰，根本枯乾，必不能結果，即或生產，我必殺他們所生的愛子。
			Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved of their womb.
		17	我的神必棄絕他們，因為他們不聽從他；他們也必飄流在列國中。
			My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
