| [1]Say ye to your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah. |
[1]וְהָיָה מִסְפַּר בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל כְּחֹול הַיָּם אֲשֶׁר לֹא־יִמַּד וְלֹא יִסָּפֵר וְהָיָה בִּמְקֹום אֲשֶׁר־יֵאָמֵר לָהֶם לֹא־עַמִּי אַתֶּם יֵאָמֵר לָהֶם בְּנֵי אֵל־חָי׃ |
| [2]Plead with your mother, plead: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: let her therefore put away her prostitutions out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts; |
[2]וְנִקְבְּצוּ בְּנֵי־יְהוּדָה וּבְנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵל יַחְדָּו וְשָׂמוּ לָהֶם רֹאשׁ אֶחָד וְעָלוּ מִן־הָאָרֶץ כִּי גָדֹול יֹום יִזְרְעֶאל׃ |
| [3]Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst. |
[3]אִמְרוּ לַאֲחֵיכֶם עַמִּי וְלַאֲחֹותֵיכֶם רֻחָמָה׃ |
| [4]And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of lewdness. |
[4]רִיבוּ בְאִםְּכֶם רִיבוּ כִּי־הִיא לֹא אִשְׁתִּי וְאָנֹכִי לֹא אִישָׁהּ וְתָסֵר זְנוּנֶיהָ מִפָּנֶיה וְנַאֲפוּפֶיהָ מִבֵּין שָׁדֶיהָ׃ |
| [5]For their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink. |
[5]פֶּן־אַפְשִׁיטֶנָּה עֲרֻמָּה וְהִצַּגְתִּיהָ כְּיֹום הִוָּלְדָהּ וְשַׂמְתִּיהָ כַמִּדְבָּר וְשַׁתִּהָ כְּאֶרֶץ צִיָּה וַהֲמִתִּיהָ בַּצָּמָא׃ |
| [6]Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths. |
[6]וְאֶת־בָּנֶיהָ לֹא אֲרַחֵם כִּי־בְנֵי זְנוּנִים הֵמָּה׃ |
| [7]And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now. |
[7]כִּי זָנְתָה אִםָּם הֹבִישָׁה הֹורָתָם כִּי אָמְרָה אֵלְכָה אַחֲרֵי מְאַהֲבַי נֹתְנֵי לַחְמִי וּמֵימַי צַמְרִי וּפִשְׁתִּי שַׁמְנִי וְשִׁקּוּיָי׃ |
| [8]For she did not know that I gave her corn, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, which they prepared for Baal. |
[8]לָכֵן הִנְנִי־שָׂךְ אֶת־דַּרְךֵּךְ בַּסִּירִים וְגָדַרְתִּי אֶת־גְּדֵרָהּ וּנְתִיבֹותֶיהָ לֹא תִמְצָא׃ |
| [9]Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in its time, and my wine in its season, and I will recover my wool and my flax given to cover her nakedness. |
[9]וְרִדְּפָה אֶת־מְאַהֲבֶיהָ וְלֹא־תַשִּׂיג אֹתָם וּבִקְשָׁתַם וְלֹא תִמְצָא וְאָמְרָה אֵלְכָה וְאָשׁוּבָה אֶל־אִישִׁי הָרִאשֹׁון כִּי טֹוב לִי אָז מֵעָתָּה׃ |
| [10]And now will I disclose her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand. |
[10]וְהִיא לֹא יָדְעָה כִּי אָנֹכִי נָתַתִּי לָהּ הַדָּגָן וְהַתִּירֹושׁ וְהַיִּצְהָר וְכֶסֶף הִרְבֵּיתִי לָהּ וְזָהָב עָשׂוּ לַבָּעַל׃ |
| [11]I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts. |
[11]לָכֵן אָשׁוּב וְלָקַחְתִּי דְגָנִי בְּעִתֹּו וְתִירֹושִׁי בְּמֹועֲדֹו וְהִצַּלְתִּי צַמְרִי וּפִשְׁתִּי לְכַסֹּות אֶת־עֶרְוָתָהּ׃ |
| [12]And I will destroy her vines and her fig-trees, of which she hath said, These are my rewards that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them. |
[12]וְעַתָּה אֲגַלֶּה אֶת־נַבְלֻתָהּ לְעֵינֵי מְאַהֲבֶיהָ וְאִישׁ לֹא־יַצִּילֶנָּה מִיָּדִי׃ |
| [13]And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, in which she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her ear-rings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the LORD. |
[13]וְהִשְׁבַּתִּי כָּל־מְשֹׂושָׂהּ חַגָּהּ חָדְשָׁהּ וְשַׁבַּתָּהּ וְכֹל מֹועֲדָהּ׃ |
| [14]Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her. |
[14]וַהֲשִׁמֹּתִי גַּפְנָהּ וּתְאֵנָתָהּ אֲשֶׁר אָמְרָה אֶתְנָה הֵמָּה לִי אֲשֶׁר נָתְנוּ־לִי מְאַהֲבָי וְשַׂמְתִּים לְיַעַר וַאֲכָלָתַם חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה׃ |
| [15]And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came from the land of Egypt. |
[15]וּפָקַדְתִּי עָלֶיהָ אֶת־יְמֵי הַבְּעָלִים אֲשֶׁר תַּקְטִיר לָהֶם וַתַּעַד נִזְמָהּ וְחֶלְיָתָהּ וַתֵּלֶךְ אַחֲרֵי מְאַהֲבֶיהָ וְאֹתִי שָׁכְחָה נְאֻם־יְהוָה׃ |
| [16]And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali. |
[16]לָכֵן הִנֵּה אָנֹכִי מְפַתֶּיהָ וְהֹלַכְתִּיהָ הַמִּדְבָּר וְדִבַּרְתִּי עַל־לִבָּהּ׃ |
| [17]For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. |
[17]וְנָתַתִּי לָהּ אֶת־כְּרָמֶיהָ מִשָּׁם וְאֶת־עֵמֶק עָכֹור לְפֶתַח תִּקְוָה וְעָנְתָה שָּׁמָּה כִּימֵי נְעוּרֶיהָ וּכְיֹום עֲלֹתָהּ מֵאֶרֶץ־מִצְרָיִם׃ |
| [18]And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping animals of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down in safety. |
[18]וְהָיָה בַיֹּום־הַהוּא נְאֻם־יְהוָה תִּקְרְאִי אִישִׁי וְלֹא־תִקְרְאִי־לִי עֹוד בַּעְלִי׃ |
| [19]And I will betroth thee to me for ever; yes, I will betroth thee to me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies. |
[19]וַהֲסִרֹתִי אֶת־שְׁמֹות הַבְּעָלִים מִפִּיהָ וְלֹא־יִזָּכְרוּ עֹוד בִּשְׁםָם׃ |
| [20]I will even betroth thee to me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. |
[20]וְכָרַתִּי לָהֶם בְּרִית בַּיֹּום הַהוּא עִם־חַיַּת הַשָּׂדֶה וְעִם־עֹוף הַשָּׁמַיִם וְרֶמֶשׂ הָאֲדָמָה וְקֶשֶׁת וְחֶרֶב וּמִלְחָמָה אֶשְׁבֹּור מִן־הָאָרֶץ וְהִשְׁכַּבְתִּים לָבֶטַח׃ |
| [21]And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith the LORD, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth; |
[21]וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי לְעֹולָם וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי בְּצֶדֶק וּבְמִשְׁפָּט וּבְחֶסֶד וּבְרַחֲמִים׃ |
| [22]And the earth shall hear the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jezreel. |
[22]וְאֵרַשְׂתִּיךְ לִי בֶּאֱמוּנָה וְיָדַעַתְּ אֶת־יְהוָה׃ |
| [23]And I will sow her to me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them who were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, Thou art my God. |
[23]וְהָיָה בַּיֹּום הַהוּא אֶעֱנֶה נְאֻם־יְהוָה אֶעֱנֶה אֶת־הַשָּׁמָיִם וְהֵם יַעֲנוּ אֶת־הָאָרֶץ׃ |
| 24[No verse] |
[24]וְהָאָרֶץ תַּעֲנֶה אֶת־הַדָּגָן וְאֶת־הַתִּירֹושׁ וְאֶת־הַיִּצְהָר וְהֵם יַעֲנוּ אֶת־יִזְרְעֶאל׃ |
| 25[No verse] |
[25]וּזְרַעְתִּיהָ לִּי בָּאָרֶץ וְרִחַמְתִּי אֶת־לֹא רֻחָמָה וְאָמַרְתִּי לְלֹא־עַמִּי עַמִּי־אַתָּה וְהוּא יֹאמַר אֱלֹהָי׃ |
