1 Don't shamach (rejoice), Yashar-Al (Israel), to jubilation like the imayam (nations); for you were unfaithful to your Alahayam (). You ahab (love) the wages of a prostitute at every grain garan (threshing) floor.
2 The garan (threshing) floor and the yaqab (winepress) won't raih (feed) them, and the new thayarawash (wine) will kachash (fail) her.
3 They won't yashab (inhabit/dwell) in Yahawah () aratz (Earth/land); but Aparayam (Ephraim) will shawab (turn back / repent) to Matzarayam (Egypt), and they will akal (eat) tamaa (unclean) food in Ashawar (Assyria).
4 They won't nasak (pour) out yayan (wine) offerings to Yahawah (), neither will they be pleasing to him. Their zabach (sacrifices) will be to them like the lacham (bread) of awanayam (mourners); akal (eat) who eat of it will be tamaa (polluted); for their lacham (bread) napash (soul) be for their appetite. It will not bawaa (come) into the bayath (house) of Yahawah ().
5 What will you ishah (make) in the yawam (day) of mawaid (Feast/Holy Day) assembly, and in the yawam (day) of the chag (feast/festival) of Yahawah ()?
6 For, behold, they have halak (move) away from shad (destruction). Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt) will qabatz (gather) them up. Map (Memphis) will qabar (grave / tomb / sepulcher) them. Qamawash (nettles) will yarash (possess) their machamad (pleasant) things of kasap (silver). Chawach (thorns) will be in their ahal (tents).
7 The yamay (days) of paqadah (visitation) bawaa (bring) come. The yamay (days) of reckoning bawaa (bring) come. Yashar-Al (Israel) yadai (will) consider the nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) to be a awayal (fool), and the ayash (man / husband) who is inspired to be insane, because of the rab (abundance) of your iwan (guilt/iniquity), and because your hostility is rab (great).
8 A nabayaa (prophet/prophecy) watches over Aparayam (Ephraim) with my Alahayam (). A yaqawash (fowler's) pach (snare / trap) is on all of his darak (paths), and hostility in the bayath (house) of his Alahayam ().
9 They imaq (have) deeply shachath (corrupted) themselves, as in the yamay (days) of Gabaih (Gibeah). He will zakar (remember) their iwan (guilt/iniquity). He will paqad (visit) them for their chataah (sin).
10 I matzaa (found) Yashar-Al (Israel) like inabayam (grapes) in the madabar (wilderness). I raah (see) your ab (father) as the bakawarah (first) ripe in the thaan (fig) tree at its raashayath (beginning) season; but they bawaa (come) to Bailapaiwar (Baal) Paiwar (Peor), and nazar (crown / consecrate) themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable ahab (love) that which they loved.
11 As for Aparayam (Ephraim), their kabawad (glory) will iwap (flying) away like a iwap (flying). There will be no yalad (birth / begot), none with child, and no harawan (conception).
12 Though they gadal (bring) up their ban (son), yet I will shakal (bereave) them, so that not a adam (man) shall be left. Indeed, away (woe) also to them when I sawar (depart) from them!
13 I raah (see / saw) seen Aparayam (Ephraim), like Tzar (Tyre), shathal (planted) in a nawah (habitation) place; but Aparayam (Ephraim) will yatzaa (go out / come out) out his ban (son) to the harag (kill).
14 Nathan (give) them—Yahawah () what will you nathan (give)? Nathan (give) them a shakal (miscarrying) racham (womb) and tzamaq (dry) shadayam (breasts).
15 “All their rai (wickedness) is in Galagal (Gilgal); for there I shanaa (hate) them. Because of the rai (wickedness) of their deeds I will garash (drive) them out of my bayath (house)! I will ahabah (love) them no more. All their shar (prince / ruler) are rebels.
16 Aparayam (Ephraim) is nakah (struck). Their sharash (root) has yabash (dry land) up. They will ishah (make) no paray (fruit). Even though they yalad (birth / begot) forth, yet I will mawath (death) the machamad (beloved) ones of their batan (womb).”
17 My Alahayam () will maas (cast) them away, because they did not shamai (hearken / hear) to him; and they will be wanderers among the gawayam (nations).
