| יא:ז וְעַמִּי תְלוּאִים, לִמְשׁוּבָתִי; וְאֶל-עַל, יִקְרָאֻהוּ--יַחַד, לֹא יְרוֹמֵם. | 11:7 And My people are in suspense about returning to Me; and though they call them upwards, none at all will lift himself up. |
| ח אֵיךְ אֶתֶּנְךָ אֶפְרַיִם, אֲמַגֶּנְךָ יִשְׂרָאֵל--אֵיךְ אֶתֶּנְךָ כְאַדְמָה, אֲשִׂימְךָ כִּצְבֹאיִם; נֶהְפַּךְ עָלַי לִבִּי, יַחַד נִכְמְרוּ נִחוּמָי. | 8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? How shall I surrender thee, Israel? How shall I make thee as Admah? How shall I set thee as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me, My compassions are kindled together. |
| ט לֹא אֶעֱשֶׂה חֲרוֹן אַפִּי, לֹא אָשׁוּב לְשַׁחֵת אֶפְרָיִם: כִּי אֵל אָנֹכִי, וְלֹא-אִישׁ--בְּקִרְבְּךָ קָדוֹשׁ, וְלֹא אָבוֹא בְּעִיר. | 9 I will not execute the fierceness of Mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim; for I am God, and not man, the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in fury. |
| י אַחֲרֵי יקוק יֵלְכוּ, כְּאַרְיֵה יִשְׁאָג: כִּי-הוּא יִשְׁאַג, וְיֶחֶרְדוּ בָנִים מִיָּם. | 10 They shall walk after the LORD, who shall roar like a lion; for He shall roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west. |
| יא יֶחֶרְדוּ כְצִפּוֹר מִמִּצְרַיִם, וּכְיוֹנָה מֵאֶרֶץ אַשּׁוּר; וְהוֹשַׁבְתִּים עַל-בָּתֵּיהֶם, נְאֻם-יקוק. | 11 They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith the LORD. |
| יב:א סְבָבֻנִי בְכַחַשׁ אֶפְרַיִם, וּבְמִרְמָה בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל; וִיהוּדָה, עֹד רָד עִם-אֵל, וְעִם-קְדוֹשִׁים, נֶאֱמָן. | 12:1 Ephraim compasseth Me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; and Judah is yet wayward towards God, and towards the Holy One who is faithful. |
| ב אֶפְרַיִם רֹעֶה רוּחַ, וְרֹדֵף קָדִים--כָּל-הַיּוֹם, כָּזָב וָשֹׁד יַרְבֶּה; וּבְרִית עִם-אַשּׁוּר יִכְרֹתוּ, וְשֶׁמֶן לְמִצְרַיִם יוּבָל. | 2 Ephraim striveth after wind, and followeth after the east wind; all the day he multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt. |
| ג וְרִיב לַיקוק, עִם-יְהוּדָה; וְלִפְקֹד עַל-יַעֲקֹב כִּדְרָכָיו, כְּמַעֲלָלָיו יָשִׁיב לוֹ. | 3 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways, according to his doings will He recompense him. |
| ד בַּבֶּטֶן, עָקַב אֶת-אָחִיו; וּבְאוֹנוֹ, שָׂרָה אֶת-א-לקים. | 4 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and by his strength he strove with a godlike being; |
| ה וַיָּשַׂר אֶל-מַלְאָךְ וַיֻּכָל, בָּכָה וַיִּתְחַנֶּן-לוֹ; בֵּית-אֵל, יִמְצָאֶנּוּ, וְשָׁם, יְדַבֵּר עִמָּנוּ. | 5 So he strove with an angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him; at Beth-el he would find him, and there he would speak with us; |
| ו וַיקוק, א-לקי הַצְּבָאוֹת--יקוק, זִכְרוֹ. | 6 But the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD is His name. |
| ז וְאַתָּה, בֵּא-לקיךָ תָשׁוּב; חֶסֶד וּמִשְׁפָּט שְׁמֹר, וְקַוֵּה אֶל-א-לקיךָ תָּמִיד. | 7 Therefore turn thou to thy God; keep mercy and justice, and wait for thy God continually. |
| ח כְּנַעַן, בְּיָדוֹ מֹאזְנֵי מִרְמָה--לַעֲשֹׁק אָהֵב. | 8 As for the trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand. He loveth to oppress. |
| ט וַיֹּאמֶר אֶפְרַיִם--אַךְ עָשַׁרְתִּי, מָצָאתִי אוֹן לִי; כָּל-יְגִיעַי, לֹא יִמְצְאוּ-לִי עָון אֲשֶׁר-חֵטְא. | 9 And Ephraim said: 'Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth; in all my labours they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin.' |
| י וְאָנֹכִי יקוק א-לקיךָ, מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם; עֹד אוֹשִׁיבְךָ בָאֳהָלִים, כִּימֵי מוֹעֵד. | 10 But I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed season. |
| יא וְדִבַּרְתִּי, עַל-הַנְּבִיאִים, וְאָנֹכִי, חָזוֹן הִרְבֵּיתִי; וּבְיַד הַנְּבִיאִים, אֲדַמֶּה. | 11 I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes. |
| יב אִם-גִּלְעָד אָוֶן אַךְ-שָׁוְא הָיוּ, בַּגִּלְגָּל שְׁוָרִים זִבֵּחוּ; גַּם מִזְבְּחוֹתָם כְּגַלִּים, עַל תַּלְמֵי שָׂדָי. | 12 If Gilead be given to iniquity becoming altogether vanity, in Gilgal they sacrifice unto bullocks; yea, their altars shall be as heaps in the furrows of the field. |
