1 Don't rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; For you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.

1 אַל־תִּשְׂמַ֨ח יִשְׂרָאֵ֤ל׀ אֶל־גִּיל֙ כָּֽעַמִּ֔ים כִּ֥י זָנִ֖יתָ מֵעַ֣ל אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ אָהַ֣בְתָּ אֶתְנָ֔ן עַ֖ל כָּל־גָּרְנֹ֥ות דָּגָֽן׃

2 The threshing floor and the winepress won't feed them, And the new wine will fail her.

2 גֹּ֥רֶן וָיֶ֖קֶב לֹ֣א יִרְעֵ֑ם וְתִירֹ֖ושׁ יְכַ֥חֶשׁ בָּֽהּ׃

3 They won't dwell in Yahweh's land; But Ephraim will return to Egypt, And they will eat unclean food in Assyria.

3 לֹ֥א יֵשְׁב֖וּ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ יְהוָ֑ה וְשָׁ֤ב אֶפְרַ֙יִם֙ מִצְרַ֔יִם וּבְאַשּׁ֖וּר טָמֵ֥א יֹאכֵֽלוּ׃

4 They won't pour out wine offerings to Yahweh, Neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; All who eat of it will be polluted; For their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of Yahweh.

4 לֹא־יִסְּכ֨וּ לַיהוָ֥ה׀ יַיִן֮ וְלֹ֣א יֶֽעֶרְבוּ־לֹו֒ זִבְחֵיהֶ֗ם כְּלֶ֤חֶם אֹונִים֙ לָהֶ֔ם כָּל־אֹכְלָ֖יו יִטַמָּ֑אוּ1 כִּֽי־לַחְמָ֣ם לְנַפְשָׁ֔ם לֹ֥א יָבֹ֖וא בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה3׃

5 What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, And in the day of the feast of Yahweh?

5 מַֽה־תַּעֲשׂ֖וּ לְיֹ֣ום מֹועֵ֑ד וּלְיֹ֖ום חַג־יְהוָֽה׃

6 For, behold, they have gone away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.

6 כִּֽי־הִנֵּ֤ה הָֽלְכוּ֙ מִשֹּׁ֔ד מִצְרַ֥יִם תְּקַבְּצֵ֖ם מֹ֣ף תְּקַבְּרֵ֑ם מַחְמַ֣ד לְכַסְפָּ֗ם קִמֹּושׂ֙ יִֽירָשֵׁ֔ם חֹ֖וחַ בְּאָהֳלֵיהֶֽם׃

7 The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, And the man who is inspired to be insane, Because of the abundance of your sins, And because your hostility is great.

7 בָּ֣אוּ׀ יְמֵ֣י הַפְּקֻדָּ֗ה בָּ֚אוּ יְמֵ֣י הַשִׁלֻּ֔ם1 יֵדְע֖וּ יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל אֱוִ֣יל הַנָּבִ֗יא מְשֻׁגָּע֙ אִ֣ישׁ הָר֔וּחַ עַ֚ל רֹ֣ב עֲוֹנְךָ֔ וְרַבָּ֖ה מַשְׂטֵמָֽה׃

8 A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler's snare is on all of his paths, And hostility in the house of his God.

8 צֹפֶ֥ה אֶפְרַ֖יִם עִם־אֱלֹהָ֑י נָבִ֞יא פַּ֤ח יָקֹושׁ֙ עַל־כָּל־דְּרָכָ֔יו מַשְׂטֵמָ֖ה בְּבֵ֥ית אֱלֹהָֽיו׃

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, As in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for their sins.

9 הֶעְמִֽיקוּ־שִׁחֵ֖תוּ כִּימֵ֣י הַגִּבְעָ֑ה יִזְכֹּ֣ור עֲוֹנָ֔ם יִפְקֹ֖וד חַטֹּאותָֽם׃

10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; But they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, And became abominable like that which they loved.

10 כַּעֲנָבִ֣ים בַּמִּדְבָּ֗ר מָצָ֙אתִי֙ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל כְּבִכּוּרָ֤ה בִתְאֵנָה֙ בְּרֵ֣אשִׁיתָ֔הּ רָאִ֖יתִי אֲבֹֽותֵיכֶ֑ם הֵ֜מָּה בָּ֣אוּ בַֽעַל־פְּעֹ֗ור וַיִּנָּֽזְרוּ֙ לַבֹּ֔שֶׁת וַיִּהְי֥וּ שִׁקּוּצִ֖ים כְּאָהֳבָֽם׃

11 As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, none with child, and no conception.

11 אֶפְרַ֕יִם כָּעֹ֖וף יִתְעֹופֵ֣ף כְּבֹודָ֑ם מִלֵּדָ֥ה וּמִבֶּ֖טֶן וּמֵהֵרָיֹֽון׃

12 Though they bring up their children, Yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!

12 כִּ֤י אִם־יְגַדְּלוּ֙ אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶ֔ם וְשִׁכַּלְתִּ֖ים מֵֽאָדָ֑ם כִּֽי־גַם־אֹ֥וי לָהֶ֖ם בְּשׂוּרִ֥י מֵהֶֽם׃

13 Ephraim, like I have seen Tyre, is planted in a pleasant place; But Ephraim will bring out his children to the killer.

13 אֶפְרַ֛יִם כַּאֲשֶׁר־רָאִ֥יתִי לְצֹ֖ור שְׁתוּלָ֣ה בְנָוֶ֑ה וְאֶפְרַ֕יִם לְהֹוצִ֥יא אֶל־הֹרֵ֖ג בָּנָֽיו׃

14 Give them--Yahweh what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

14 תֵּן־לָהֶ֥ם יְהוָ֖ה מַה־תִּתֵּ֑ן תֵּן־לָהֶם֙ רֶ֣חֶם מַשְׁכִּ֔יל וְשָׁדַ֖יִם צֹמְקִֽים׃

15 "All their wickedness is in Gilgal; For there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house! I will love them no more. All their princes are rebels.

15 כָּל־רָעָתָ֤ם בַּגִּלְגָּל֙ כִּֽי־שָׁ֣ם שְׂנֵאתִ֔ים עַ֚ל רֹ֣עַ מַֽעַלְלֵיהֶ֔ם מִבֵּיתִ֖י אֲגָרְשֵׁ֑ם לֹ֤א אֹוסֵף֙ אַהֲבָתָ֔ם כָּל־שָׂרֵיהֶ֖ם3 סֹרְרִֽים׃

16 Ephraim is struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb."

16 הֻכָּ֣ה אֶפְרַ֔יִם שָׁרְשָׁ֥ם יָבֵ֖שׁ פְּרִ֣י בְלִי־ בַֽל־יַעֲשׂ֑וּן גַּ֚ם כִּ֣י יֵֽלֵד֔וּן וְהֵמַתִּ֖י מַחֲמַדֵּ֥י בִטְנָֽם׃

17 My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; And they will be wanderers among the nations.

17 יִמְאָסֵ֣ם אֱלֹהַ֔י כִּ֛י לֹ֥א שָׁמְע֖וּ לֹ֑ו וְיִהְי֥וּ נֹדְדִ֖ים בַּגֹּויִֽם׃
