| 1以色列原是一株茂盛結實繁多的葡萄樹，但他的收穫愈豐，祭壇也愈多；土地愈富饒，石柱也愈美觀。 | 1Israel was a spreading vine, rich in fruit. The more his fruit increased, the more altars he built; the more his land prospered, the more he adorned his sacred stones. |
| 2他們心懷二意，因此必遭懲罰；上主必拆毀他們的祭壇，打倒他們的石柱。 | 2Their heart is divided! They shall pay for it. Their altars will be thrown down and their sacred stones broken to pieces. |
| 3那時他們要說：「哎！我們沒有君王，因為我們不敬畏上主；可是君王能為我們作什麼呢？ | 3Now they say, "We have no king (because we have no fear of God) and what good would a king do us?" |
| 4他們任意講空話，發虛誓，立盟約……因此，正義有如田畦間的苦菜叢生。 | 4Let them speak like this, take an oath and make covenants! Their sentence is growing like weeds in a plowed field. |
| 5撒瑪黎雅的居民必為貝特阿文的牛犢焦慮，他的人民必為牠舉哀，他的僧侶也要為牠失去的榮華而哀號，因為牠被人奪去。 | 5The people of Samaria tremble for their idols of Bethel; they mourn for their calf as do the priests who were so proud of it. |
| 6連牠也被帶到亞述去，作為大王的貢物。厄弗辣因得到的只是恥辱，以色列必要因自己的偶像而蒙羞。 | 6The glorious idol has been taken far away, carried off to Assyria as a tribute to the great king. Ephraim will reap the shame of this; the people of Israel will be disgraced. |
| 7撒瑪黎雅滅亡了，她的君王有如一片浮在水面的乾草。 | 7As for the king of Samaria, he has been carried off like foam on water. |
| 8貝特阿文的高丘──以色列的罪惡淵藪──將被摧毀，荊棘和蒺藜要攀上他們的祭壇；那時他們要對山說：「遮蓋我們罷！」對丘陵說：「倒在我們身上罷！」 | 8The idolatrous high places - the sin of Israel - will be destroyed. Thorn and thistle will creep over the altars. Then they will say to the mountains: "Cover us," and to the hills: "Fall on us." |
| 9以色列！從基貝亞的日子起，你就犯罪，你就在那裏抗拒；難道基貝亞的戰禍不會波及那些惡人嗎？ | 9Since the days of Gibeah you have sinned and rebelled, Israel. Will not the battle against the evildoers of Gibeah overtake you again? |
| 10我必來懲罰他們：列邦必要聯合起來攻打他們，為懲罰他們的雙重罪過。 | 10I shall come and punish you, gathering the nations against you because of your double sin. |
| 11厄弗辣因原是一頭馴服的母牛，喜愛打麥，可是我要將軛加在牠肥壯的頸項上；我要給厄弗辣因上套，以色列必要耕田，雅各伯必要耙地。 | 11Ephraim is a well-trained heifer fond of threshing; on her neck I shall place a yoke; Ephraim will be harnessed and plowed; the nation of Jacob will break the clods. |
| 12你們應該播種正義，纔可收割仁愛的果實；你們應該開墾荒地，因為現在是尋求上主的時候；應尋求他，直到他來給你們降下正義。 | 12Plow new ground, sow for yourselves justice and reap the harvest of kindness. It is the time to go seeking Yahweh until he comes to rain salvation on you. |
| 13為什麼你們種了邪惡，收割了罪孽，吃了謊言的果實呢？因為你依賴了你的戰車，和你的勇士眾多； | 13For your part you planted wickedness, reaped evil and ate the fruit of falsehood. When you rely on your own strength and your many warriors, confusion will overcome your people. |
| 14因此，在你的城邑中要發生騷動，你的一切堡壘將被拆毀，就如沙耳曼毀滅貝特阿爾貝耳時，在戰爭之日，母親被摔死在兒子身上一樣。 | 14See, your fortresses are destroyed as when Shalman devastated Beth-arbel; all was crushed. |
| 15因了你們的窮凶極惡，以色列家，我也要同樣對待你：以色列的君王將在風暴中完全淪亡。 | 15That is what will happen to you, people of Israel, because of your great evil. The storm will blow away the king of Israel. |
