1
When Ephraim spake trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.
Toe Efraim gespreek het, was daar bewing: hy het homself in Israel verhef; maar toe hy in Baäl oortree het, is hy dood.

2
And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, [and] idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
En nou gaan hulle voort om te sondig, en het vir hulle gesmelte beelde van hulle silwer gemaak, en afgode volgens hulle eie verstand, almal die werk van die ambagsmanne: hulle sê van hulle, Laat die manne wat offer, die kalwers soen.
3
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff [that] is driven with the whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
Daarom sal hulle wees soos die môrewolk, en soos die vroeë dou wat verbygaan, soos die kaf wat van die dorsvloer afgewaai word, en soos die rook uit die skoorsteen.
4
Yet I [am] the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for [there is] no saviour beside me.
Tog is ek die HERE jou God van die land van Egipte af, en jy sal geen ander god ken behalwe My nie: want daar is geen verlosser behalwe My nie.
5
I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
Ek het jou in die wildernis geken, in die land van groot dorheid.
6
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
Volgens hulle weiding so is hulle versadig; hulle was versadig, en hulle hart is verhef; daarom het hulle My vergeet.
7
Therefore I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe [them]:
Daarom sal ek vir hulle soos ‚'n leeu wees: soos ‚'n luiperd by die pad sal ek op hulle let:
8
I will meet them as a bear [that is] bereaved [of her whelps], and will rend the caul of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
Ek sal hulle ontmoet soos ‚'n beer wat van haar welpies beroof is, en sal die omhulsel van hulle hart skeur, en daar sal ek hulle soos ‚'n leeu verteer: die wilde dier sal hulle verskeur.
9
O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me [is] thine help.
o Israel, jy het jouself vernietig; maar in My is jou hulp.
10
I will be thy king: where [is any other] that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes?
Ek sal jou koning wees: waar is enige ander wat jou in al jou stede mag red? en jou regters van wie jy gesê het, Gee my ’n koning en vorste?
11
I gave thee a king in mine anger, and took [him] away in my wrath.
Ek het jou ‚'n koning in my toorn gegee, en hom in my grimmigheid weggeneem.
12
The iniquity of Ephraim [is] bound up; his sin [is] hid.
Die ongeregtigheid van Efraim is saamgebind; sy sonde is weggelê.
13
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he [is] an unwise son; for he should not stay long in [the place of] the breaking forth of children.
Die smarte van ‚'n barende vrou sal op hom kom: hy is ‚'n onwyse seun; want hy moes nie so lank in die plek van die breek van kinders bly nie.
14
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from mine eyes.
Ek sal hulle verlos uit die mag van die doderyk; ek sal hulle van die dood verlos: o dood, ek sal jou plae wees; o doderyk, ek sal jou vernietiging wees: berou sal van my oë verborge wees.
15
Though he be fruitful among [his] brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall spoil the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
Alhoewel hy vrugbaar is onder sy broers, sal ‚'n oostewind kom, die wind van die HERE sal uit die wildernis opkom, en sy fontein sal opdroog, en sy fontein sal verdroog: hy sal die skat van alle aangename vate plunder.
16
Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up.
Samaría sal verwoes word; want sy het teen haar God gerebelleer: hulle sal deur die swaard val: hulle kinders sal stukkend geslaan word, en hulle vroue met kind sal oopgesny word.
