هنگامی که افرایم به لرزه سخن گفت، خویشتن را در اسرائیل مرتفع نمود؛ اماچون در امر بعل مجرم شد، بمرد. ۱ 1
[Previously], when [the leaders of] Israel spoke, the people trembled; those leaders were highly respected by the Israeli people. But the people sinned greatly by [worshiping] Baal, so now they will be killed [by their enemies].
و الان گناهان می‌افزایند و از نقره خود بتهای ریخته شده وتماثیل موافق عقل خود می‌سازند که همه آنهاعمل صنعتگران می‌باشد و درباره آنها می‌گویندکه اشخاصی که قربانی می‌گذرانند گوساله‌ها راببوسند. ۲ 2
Now they sin more and more; they make idols for themselves [and coat the idols] with their silver. Those idols are statues that are very cleverly made, but those statues are made by [mere] humans. But [the people are told], “Kiss those idols [that resemble a] calf, and offer sacrifices to them!”
بنابراین، ایشان مثل ابرهای صبح ومانند شبنمی که بزودی می‌گذرد، هستند. و مثل کاه که از خرمن پراکنده شود و مانند دود که ازروزن برآید. ۳ 3
Therefore, those people will [disappear quickly] like [SIM] the morning mist or the dew that lies [on the ground] early [in the morning]; [they will disappear] like [SIM] chaff that is blown away from where [the wheat] is threshed, like [SIM] smoke that goes out of a chimney.
اما من از زمین مصر (تا حال ) یهوه خدای توهستم و غیر از من خدای دیگر را نمی شناسی وسوای من نجات‌دهنده‌ای نیست. ۴ 4
But [Yahweh says to his people], “I am Yahweh, your God, [the one who brought your ancestors] out of Egypt. You must believe that only I am God and that there is no other God, and that there is no one else who can save you!
من تو را دربیابان در زمین بسیار خشک شناختم. ۵ 5
I took care of your [ancestors when they were] in the desert, where it was extremely [hot and] dry.
چون چریدند، سیر شدند و چون سیر شدند، دل ایشان مغرور گردید و از این جهت مرا فراموش کردند. ۶ 6
When I provided food for them, their [stomachs] were full, and they were satisfied. But then they became proud and they forgot [about] me, [and you are like your ancestors]!
پس من برای ایشان مثل شیر خواهم بود و مانندپلنگ به‌سر راه در کمین خواهم نشست. ۷ 7
So I will attack you like [SIM] a lion [attacks other animals]; I will be like [SIM] a leopard that waits beside the road [to attack another animal].
و مثل خرسی که بچه هایش را از وی ربوده باشد، بر ایشان حمله خواهم آورد و پرده دل ایشان راخواهم درید و مثل شیر ایشان را در آنجاخواهم خورد و حیوانات صحرا ایشان راخواهند درید. ۸ 8
Like [SIM] a female bear attacks anyone that steals her cubs, I will attack you Israelis and rip you open. I will completely destroy you like [SIM] lions or [other] wild animals tear apart the animals that they catch and devour them.
‌ای اسرائیل هلاک شدی، اما معاونت تو بامن است. ۹ 9
[You people of] Israel, you will be destroyed because you oppose me, the only one who (can help/helps) you.
الان پادشاه تو کجاست تا تو را درتمامی شهرهایت معاونت کند و داورانت (کجایند) که درباره آنها گفتی پادشاه و سروران به من بده؟ ۱۰ 10
You have a king; (why is he [unable to save you]?/but he is [unable to save you].) [RHQ] You have [RHQ] rulers in all your towns, but they are not helping you, [either]. Your [ancestors] said, ‘Appoint for us a king and [other] leaders [to rule over us] [like the other nations have]!’
از غضب خود، پادشاهی به تو دادم واز خشم خویش او را برداشتم. ۱۱ 11
I was angry with them [for requesting that], but I appointed a king [to rule over] them. But [later] I became very angry with them [again], so I took their king away.
عصیان افرایم بسته شده و گناه او مخزون گردیده است. ۱۲ 12
[I have written on a scroll] a record of the sins that have been committed by you people of Israel, and I have stored away that record.
دردهای زه مثل زنی که می‌زاید بروی آمده است و او پسری نادانشمند است زیرا در وقتش، در جای تولد فرزندان نمی ایستد. ۱۳ 13
You people are not wise; and now [you are helpless]. You are like [MET] a woman who is having birth pains but who is unable to give birth to the baby.
من ایشان را از دست هاویه فدیه خواهم داد و ایشان را از موت نجات خواهم بخشید. ای موت ضربات تو کجاست و‌ای هاویه هلاکت تو کجا است؟ پشیمانی از چشمان من مستور شده است. (Sheol h7585) ۱۴ 14
I certainly will not [RHQ] save you from being killed and from going to the place where the dead people are. I will [RHQ] cause you to be afflicted by plagues and to die and be buried in graves. I will not be merciful [to you]. (Sheol h7585)
اگر‌چه در میان برادرانش ثمر آورد، اما باد شرقی می‌وزد وباد خداوند از بیابان برمی آید و منبع اوخشک می‌گردد و چشمه‌اش می‌خشکد و اوگنج تمامی اسباب نفیسه وی را تاراج می‌نماید. ۱۵ 15
Even if you people of Israel prosper more than the nearby nations do, [the army of Assyria] will come [like] [MET] an east wind that blows from the desert; the springs and wells in Israel will become dry; and [your enemies] will take away all your valuable possessions.
سامره متحمل گناه خود خواهدشد، زیرا به خدای خود فتنه انگیخته است. ایشان به شمشیر خواهند افتاد و اطفال ایشان خرد و زنان حامله ایشان شکم دریده خواهندشد. ۱۶ 16
[You people of] Samaria must be punished because you have rebelled against [me], your God. You will be killed by [your enemies’] swords; your little children will be [killed by being] dashed/thrown to the ground; the [bellies of] women [among you] will be ripped open.”
