1 When I would rapaa (heal) Yashar-Al (Israel), then the iwan (guilt/iniquity) of Aparayam (Ephraim) is galah (uncovered), also the rai (wickedness) of Shamarawan (Samaria); for they pail (commit) falsehood, and the ganab (thief) bawaa (bring) in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
2 They don't amar (said) in their labab (hearts) that I zakar (remember) all their rai (wickedness). Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my panayam (face).
3 They make the malak (king) shamach (glad) with their rai (wickedness), and the sharayam (princes) with their kachash (lies).
4 They are all manaapayam (adulterers). They are bair (burning) like an thanawar (oven) that the baker stops iwar (rouse / awaken), from the lawash (kneading) of the batzaq (dough), until it is chamatz (leavened).
5 On the yawam (day) of our malak (king), the sharayam (princes) chalah (afflict) themselves sick with the chamah (heat) of yayan (wine). He joined his yad (hand) with mockers.
6 For they have prepared their lab (heart) like an thanawar (oven), while they lie in arab (wait). Their baker sleeps all the layal (night). In the baqar (morning) it bair (burns) as a lahabah (flaming) ash (fire).
7 They are all chamam (hot) as an thanawar (oven), and akal (eat) their shapat (judge / judgement). All their malak (king) napal (fall / be cast down) fallen. There is no one among them who qaraa (called) to me.
8 Aparayam (Ephraim), he mixes himself among the imayam (nations). Aparayam (Ephraim) is a pancake not hapak (turned) over.
9 Strangers have akal (eat) his kach (strength / mighty / power), and he doesn't realize it. Indeed, shayabah (old age / white hair - due to age) hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn't realize it.
10 The gaawan (pride) of Yashar-Al (Israel) inah (answer / respond) to his panayam (face); yet they haven't shawab (turn back / repent) to Yahawah () their Alahayam (), nor baqash (sought) him, for all this.
11 “Aparayam (Ephraim) is like an easily pathah (deceived) yawanah (dove), without lab (heart). They qaraa (called) to Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt). They halak (move) to Ashawar (Assyria).
12 When they yalak (go), I will parash (spread) my rashath (net) on them. I will yarad (bring) them down like the iwap (flying) of the sky. I will yasar (chastise) them, as their idah (congregation) has shamai (heard).
13 Away (woe) to them! For they have nadad (wandered) from me. Shad (destruction) to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would padah (redeem) them, yet they have dabar (word / matter) kazabayam (lies) against me.
14 They haven't zaiq (cried) to me with their lab (heart), but they yalal (howl) on their mashakab (beds). They gawar (assemble) themselves for grain and new thayarawash (wine). They sawar (turn) away from me.
15 Though I have yasar (taught) and chazaq (strengthened) their zarawai (arms), yet they plot rai (evil) against me.
16 They shawab (turn), but not to the Most il (over). They are like a faulty qashath (bow). Their shar (prince / ruler) will napal (fall / be cast down) by the charab (sword) for the zaim (rage) of their lashawan (tongue / language). Zaw (this) will be their laig (derision) in the aratz (Earth/land) of Matzarayam (Matzarayam / Egypt).
