Modern Hebrew Bible
1When I would have healed Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria, for they have committed falsehood, and the thief is come in to steal, the robber is without.
1כרפאי לישראל ונגלה עון אפרים ורעות שמרון כי פעלו שקר וגנב יבוא פשט גדוד בחוץ׃
2And lest they may say in their hearts, that I remember all their wickedness: their own devices now have beset them about, they have been done before my face.
2ובל יאמרו ללבבם כל רעתם זכרתי עתה סבבום מעלליהם נגד פני היו׃
3They have made the king glad with their wickedness: and the princes with their lies.
3ברעתם ישמחו מלך ובכחשיהם שרים׃
4They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker: the city rested a little from the mingling of the leaven, till the whole was leavened.
4כלם מנאפים כמו תנור בערה מאפה ישבות מעיר מלוש בצק עד חמצתו׃
5The day of our king, the princes began to be mad with wine: he stretched out his hand with scorners.
5יום מלכנו החלו שרים חמת מיין משך ידו את לצצים׃
6Because they have applied their heart like an oven, when he laid snares for them: he slept all the night baking them, in the morning he himself was heated as a flaming fire.
6כי קרבו כתנור לבם בארבם כל הלילה ישן אפהם בקר הוא בער כאש להבה׃
7They were all heated like an oven, and have devoured their judges: all their kings have fallen: there is none amongst them that calleth unto me.
7כלם יחמו כתנור ואכלו את שפטיהם כל מלכיהם נפלו אין קרא בהם אלי׃
8Ephraim himself is mixed among the nations: Ephraim is become as bread baked under the ashes, that is not turned.
8אפרים בעמים הוא יתבולל אפרים היה עגה בלי הפוכה׃
9Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knew it not: yea, grey hairs also are spread about upon him, and he is ignorant of it.
9אכלו זרים כחו והוא לא ידע גם שיבה זרקה בו והוא לא ידע׃
10And the pride of Israel shall be humbled before his face: and they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all these.
10וענה גאון ישראל בפניו ולא שבו אל יהוה אלהיהם ולא בקשהו בכל זאת׃
11And Ephraim is become as a dove that is decoyed, not having a heart: they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
11ויהי אפרים כיונה פותה אין לב מצרים קראו אשור הלכו׃
12And when they shall go, I will spread my net upon them: I will bring them down as the fowl of the air, I will strike them as their congregation hath heard.
12כאשר ילכו אפרוש עליהם רשתי כעוף השמים אורידם איסרם כשמע לעדתם׃
13Woe to them, for they have departed from me: they shall be wasted because they have transgressed against me: and I redeemed them: and they have spoken lies against me.
13אוי להם כי נדדו ממני שד להם כי פשעו בי ואנכי אפדם והמה דברו עלי כזבים׃
14And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howled in their beds: they have thought upon wheat and wine, they are departed from me.
14ולא זעקו אלי בלבם כי יילילו על משכבותם על דגן ותירוש יתגוררו יסורו בי׃
15And I have chastised them, and strengthened their arms: and they have imagined evil against me.
15ואני יסרתי חזקתי זרועתם ואלי יחשבו רע׃
16They returned, that they might be without yoke: they became like a deceitful bow: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue. This is their derision in the land of Egypt.
16ישובו לא על היו כקשת רמיה יפלו בחרב שריהם מזעם לשונם זו לעגם בארץ מצרים׃
