א
אַל-תִּשְׂמַח יִשְׂרָאֵל אֶל-גִּיל כָּעַמִּים, כִּי זָנִיתָ מֵעַל אֱלֹהֶיךָ; אָהַבְתָּ אֶתְנָן, עַל כָּל-גָּרְנוֹת דָּגָן.
|
1
Rejoice not, O Yisrael, unto exultation, like the peoples, for thou hast gone astray from thy Eloheem, thou hast loved a harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
|
|
ב
גֹּרֶן וָיֶקֶב, לֹא יִרְעֵם; וְתִירוֹשׁ, יְכַחֶשׁ בָּהּ.
|
2
The threshing-floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
|
|
ג
לֹא יֵשְׁבוּ, בְּאֶרֶץ יְהוָה; וְשָׁב אֶפְרַיִם מִצְרַיִם, וּבְאַשּׁוּר טָמֵא יֹאכֵלוּ.
|
3
They shall not dwell in YAHOWAH'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
|
|
ד
לֹא-יִסְּכוּ לַיהוָה יַיִן, וְלֹא יֶעֶרְבוּ-לוֹ--זִבְחֵיהֶם כְּלֶחֶם אוֹנִים לָהֶם, כָּל-אֹכְלָיו יִטַּמָּאוּ: כִּי-לַחְמָם לְנַפְשָׁם, לֹא יָבוֹא בֵּית יְהוָה.
|
4
They shall not pour out wine-offerings to YAHOWAH, neither shall they be pleasing unto Him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners, all that eat thereof shall be polluted; for their bread shall be for their appetite, it shall not come into the house of YAHOWAH.
|
|
ה
מַה-תַּעֲשׂוּ, לְיוֹם מוֹעֵד, וּלְיוֹם, חַג-יְהוָה.
|
5
What will ye do in the day of the appointed season, and in the day of the feast of YAHOWAH?
|
|
ו
כִּי-הִנֵּה הָלְכוּ מִשֹּׁד, מִצְרַיִם תְּקַבְּצֵם מֹף תְּקַבְּרֵם; מַחְמַד לְכַסְפָּם, קִמּוֹשׂ יִירָשֵׁם, חוֹחַ, בְּאָהֳלֵיהֶם.
|
6
For, lo, they are gone away from destruction, yet Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them; their precious treasures of silver, nettles shall possess them, thorns shall be in their tents.
|
|
ז
בָּאוּ יְמֵי הַפְּקֻדָּה, בָּאוּ יְמֵי הַשִּׁלֻּם--יֵדְעוּ, יִשְׂרָאֵל; אֱוִיל הַנָּבִיא, מְשֻׁגָּע אִישׁ הָרוּחַ--עַל רֹב עֲונְךָ, וְרַבָּה מַשְׂטֵמָה.
|
7
The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come, Yisrael shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the man of the spirit is mad! For the multitude of thine iniquity, the enmity is great.
|
|
ח
צֹפֶה אֶפְרַיִם, עִם-אֱלֹהָי; נָבִיא פַּח יָקוֹשׁ, עַל-כָּל-דְּרָכָיו--מַשְׂטֵמָה, בְּבֵית אֱלֹהָיו.
|
8
Ephraim is a watchman with my Eloheem; as for the prophet, a fowler's snare is in all his ways, and enmity in the house of his Eloheem.
|
|
ט
הֶעְמִיקוּ שִׁחֵתוּ, כִּימֵי הַגִּבְעָה; יִזְכּוֹר עֲונָם, יִפְקוֹד חַטֹּאותָם. {ס}
|
9
They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.
{S}
|
|
י
כַּעֲנָבִים בַּמִּדְבָּר, מָצָאתִי יִשְׂרָאֵל--כְּבִכּוּרָה בִתְאֵנָה בְּרֵאשִׁיתָהּ, רָאִיתִי אֲבוֹתֵיכֶם; הֵמָּה בָּאוּ בַעַל-פְּעוֹר, וַיִּנָּזְרוּ לַבֹּשֶׁת, וַיִּהְיוּ שִׁקּוּצִים, כְּאָהֳבָם.
|
10
I found Yisrael like grapes in the wilderness, I saw your fathers as the first-ripe in the fig-tree at her first season; but so soon as they came to Mount-peor, they separated themselves unto the shameful thing, and became detestable like that which they loved.
|
|
יא
אֶפְרַיִם, כָּעוֹף יִתְעוֹפֵף כְּבוֹדָם; מִלֵּדָה וּמִבֶּטֶן, וּמֵהֵרָיוֹן.
|
11
As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird; there shall be no birth, and none with child, and no conception.
|
|
יב
כִּי אִם-יְגַדְּלוּ אֶת-בְּנֵיהֶם, וְשִׁכַּלְתִּים מֵאָדָם: כִּי-גַם-אוֹי לָהֶם, בְּשׂוּרִי מֵהֶם.
|
12
Yea, though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there be not a man left; yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!
|
|
יג
אֶפְרַיִם כַּאֲשֶׁר-רָאִיתִי לְצוֹר, שְׁתוּלָה בְנָוֶה; וְאֶפְרַיִם, לְהוֹצִיא אֶל-הֹרֵג בָּנָיו.
|
13
Ephraim, like as I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
|
|
יד
תֵּן-לָהֶם יְהוָה, מַה-תִּתֵּן; תֵּן-לָהֶם רֶחֶם מַשְׁכִּיל, וְשָׁדַיִם צֹמְקִים.
|
14
Give them, O YAHOWAH, whatsoever Thou wilt give; give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
|
|
טו
כָּל-רָעָתָם בַּגִּלְגָּל, כִּי-שָׁם שְׂנֵאתִים, עַל רֹעַ מַעַלְלֵיהֶם, מִבֵּיתִי אֲגָרְשֵׁם; לֹא אוֹסֵף אַהֲבָתָם, כָּל-שָׂרֵיהֶם סֹרְרִים.
|
15
All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them; because of the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of My house; I will love them no more, all their princes are rebellious.
|
|
טז
הֻכָּה אֶפְרַיִם--שָׁרְשָׁם יָבֵשׁ, פְּרִי בלי- (בַל-) יַעֲשׂוּן; גַּם כִּי יֵלֵדוּן, וְהֵמַתִּי מַחֲמַדֵּי בִטְנָם.
|
16
Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved fruit of their womb.
|
|
יז
יִמְאָסֵם אֱלֹהַי, כִּי לֹא שָׁמְעוּ לוֹ; וְיִהְיוּ נֹדְדִים, בַּגּוֹיִם. {ס}
|
17
My Eloheem will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
{S}
