1众祭司啊，要听我的话！（以色列家啊，要留心听！王家啊，要侧耳而听！审判要临到你们，因你们在米斯巴如网罗，在他泊山如铺张的网。
1Hear ye this, O priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ye ear, O house of the king; for judgment is toward you, because ye have been a snare on Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
2这些悖逆的人肆行杀戮，罪孽极深；我却斥责他们众人。
2And the revolters are profound to make slaughter, though I have been a rebuker of them all.
3以法莲为我所知，以色列不能向我隐藏。以法莲哪，现在你行淫了，以色列被玷污了。
3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now, O Ephraim, thou committest whoredom, and Israel is defiled.
4他们所行的使他们不能归向 神，因有淫心在他们里面，他们也不认识耶和华。
4They will not frame their doings to turn unto their God: for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they have not known the LORD.
5以色列的骄傲当面见证自己；故此，以色列和以法莲必因自己的罪孽跌倒，犹大也必与他们一同跌倒。
5And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
6他们必牵着牛羊去寻求耶和华，却寻不见，他已经转去离开他们。
6They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.
7他们向耶和华行事诡诈，生了私子。到了月朔，他们与他们的地业必被吞灭。
7They have dealt treacherously against the LORD: for they have begotten strange children: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
8你们当在基比亚吹角，在拉玛吹号，在伯亚文吹出大声说：便雅悯哪，有仇敌在你后头！
8Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah: cry aloud at Bethaven, after thee, O Benjamin.
9在责罚的日子，以法莲必变为荒场。我在以色列支派中，指示将来必成的事。
9Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which shall surely be.
10犹大的首领如同挪移地界的人，我必将忿怒倒在他们身上，如水一般。
10The princes of Judah were like them that remove the bound: therefore I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
11以法莲因乐从人的命令，就受欺压，被审判压碎。
11Ephraim is oppressed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.
12我使以法莲如虫蛀之物，使犹大家如朽烂之木。
12Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.
13以法莲见自己有病，犹大见自己有伤，他们就打发人往亚述去见耶雷布王，他却不能医治你们，不能治好你们的伤。
13When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb: yet could he not heal you, nor cure you of your wound.
14我必向以法莲如狮子，向犹大家如少壮狮子。我必撕裂而去，我要夺去，无人搭救。
14For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah: I, even I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue him.
15我要回到原处，等他们自觉有罪（或作“承认己罪”），寻求我面；他们在急难的时候，必切切寻求我。”
15I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
