| 1當以色列尚在童年時，我就愛了他；從在埃及時，我就召叫他為我的兒子。 | 1I loved Israel when he was a child; out of Egypt I called my son. |
| 2可是我越呼喚他們，他們越遠離我，去給巴耳獻祭，向偶像進香。 | 2But the more I have called, the further have they gone from me - sacrificing to the Baals, burning incense to the idols. |
| 3是我教了厄弗辣因邁步，雙臂抱着他們，但他們卻不理會是我照顧了他們。 | 3Yet it was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the arms; yet little did they realize that it was I who cared for them. |
| 4是我用仁慈的繩索，愛情的帶子牽着他們，我對他們有如高舉嬰兒到自己面頰的慈親，俯身餵養他們。 | 4I led them with cords of human kindness, with leading strings of love, and I became for them as one who eases the yoke upon their neck and stoops down to feed them. |
| 5他們卻要返回埃及地，要亞述作他們的君王，因為他們拒絕歸依我。 | 5If they refuse to return to me, they will have to go back to Egypt and be ruled by an Assyrian king. |
| 6刀劍必要在他們的城中橫行，殺絕他們的子女，在他們的堡壘中吞噬他們。 | 6Swords will flash in their cities, slaughtering their sons, putting an end to all their plans. |
| 7我的百姓因着自己的叛逆使我厭煩了；為此上主給他們指定應負的重軛，因為他已不再憐惜他們。 | 7They insist on turning away from me; they cry out because the yoke is upon them and no one lifts it. |
| 8厄弗辣因！我怎能捨棄你？以色列！我怎能拋掉你？我怎能使你如同阿德瑪，待你如同責波殷？我的心已轉變，我的五內已感動； | 8How can I give you up, Ephraim? Can I abandon you like Admah or make you like Zeboiim? My heart is troubled within me and I am moved with compassion. |
| 9我不再按我的盛怒行事，不再毀滅厄弗辣因，因為我是天主而不是人，是在你中間的聖者，而不是伏於城門的仇敵。 | 9I will not give vent to my great anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim for I am God and not human. I am the Holy One in your midst and I do not want to come to you in anger. |
| 10的確，他們必要追隨上主，他要像獅子吼叫；他一吼叫，他的子女便要從西方急速歸來， | 10You will follow Yahweh when he roars like a lion. When he roars his sons will come trembling from the west; |
| 11猶如飛鳥由埃及急速飛來，猶如鴿子從亞述飛來；我要使他們安居在他們的家中──上主的斷語。 | 11they will come with fear like sparrows from Egypt, like doves from Assyria. For I will bring them to their homes again. |
