ወበልዎ፡ ለእኁክሙ፡ ሕዝብየ፡ ወለእኅትክሙ፡ ሥህልት። ተዋቀሥዋ፡ ለእምክሙ፡ እስመ፡ ይእቲኒ፡ ኢኮነት፡ ብእሲትየ። ወአነሂ፡ ኢኮንኩ፡ ምታ።

“Say to your brothers, ‘My people!’ and to your sisters, ‘My loved one!’

你們要稱你們的弟兄為阿米，稱你們的姊妹為路哈瑪。

2:2

ወናሁ፡ ይእዜ፡ እስዕር፡ ዝሙታ፡ እምቅድመ፡ ገጻ፡ ወመሐዛኒሃ፡ እማእከለ፡ አጥባቲሃ። ወእቀፍጻ፡ ዕራቃ፡ ወእሬስያ፡ ከመ፡ አመ፡ መዋዕለ፡ ንእሳ፡ ወከመ፡ ዕለት፡ ቀዳሚት፡ እንተ፡ ባቲ፡ ተወልደት።

Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;

你們要與你們的母親大大爭辯；因為她不是我的妻子，我也不是她的丈夫。叫她除掉臉上的淫像和胸間的淫態，

2:3

ወእገብራ፡ ከመ፡ ምድር፡ ወእሬስያ፡ ከመ፡ በድው፡ ዘአልቦ፡ ማይ፡ ወእቀትላ፡ በጽምእ።

lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.

免得我剝她的衣服，使她赤體，與才生的時候一樣，使她如曠野，如乾旱之地，因渴而死。

2:4

ወኢይሠሃሎሙ፡ እንከ፡ ለደቂቃ፡ እስመ፡ ትውልደ፡ ዘማ፡ እሙንቱ።

Indeed, on her children I will have no mercy, for they are children of unfaithfulness.

我必不憐憫她的兒女，因為他們是從淫亂而生的。

2:5

እስመ፡ ዘመወት፡ እሞሙ፡ ወአስተኀፈረቶሙ፡ ወላዲቶሙ። እስመ፡ ትቤ፡ በልባ፡ ኣሐውር፡ እትልዎሙ፡ ለመሐዛንየ፡ እለ፡ ይሁቡኒ፡ ስቴየ፡ ወመብልዕየ፡ ወይኤርዙኑ፡ አልባሰየ፡ ወመዋጥሕየ፡ ወይሁቡኒ፡ ቅብዕየ፡ ወኵሎ፡ ዘይደሉ፡ ያመጽኡ፡ ሊተ።

For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done shamefully; for she said, ‘I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.’

他們的母親行了淫亂，懷他們的母做了可羞恥的事，因為她說：我要隨從所愛的；我的餅、水、羊毛、麻、油、酒都是他們給的。

2:6

በእንተ፡ ዝንቱ፡ ናሁ፡ አነ፡ ኣሐጽር፡ ፍኖታ፡ በሦክ፡ ወእፌጽም፡ መንገዳ፡ ወተኀጥእ፡ እንከ፡ ምኅላፊ።

Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can’t find her way.

因此，我必用荊棘堵塞她的道，築牆擋住她，使她找不着路。

2:7

ወትዴግኖሙ፡ እንከ፡ ለመሐዛኒሃ፡ ወኢትእኅዞሙ፡ ተኀሥሦሙ፡ ወኢትረክቦሙ፡ ወትብል፡ ኣሐውር፡ እንከሰ፡ ኀበ፡ ምትየ፡ ዘትካት፡ እስመ፡ ይኄይሰኒ፡ ዘቀዲሙ፡ እምይእዜ።

She will follow after her lovers, but she won’t overtake them; and she will seek them, but won’t find them. Then she will say, ‘I will go and return to my first husband, for then it was better with me than now.’

她必追隨所愛的，卻追不上；她必尋找他們，卻尋不見，便說：我要歸回前夫，因我那時的光景比如今還好。

2:8

ወይእቲሰ፡ ኢያእመረት፡ ከመ፡ አነ፡ ወሀብክዋ፡ እክለ፡ ወወይነ፡ ወቅብዐ፡ ወአብዛኅኩ፡ ላቲ፡ ወርቀ፡ ወብሩረ፡ ወይእቲሰ፡ ገብረት፡ ለበዓል።

For she didn’t know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

她不知道是我給她五穀、新酒，和油，又加增她的金銀；她卻以此供奉巴力。

2:9

ወበእንተ፡ ዝንቱ፡ እትመየጥ፡ ወአስተጋብእ፡ እክልየ፡ ዘበበ፡ ጊዜሁ፡ ወወይንየ፡ ዘለለ፡ ዕለቱ፡ ወእሰልባ፡ አልባሲሃ፡ ወመዋጥሒሃ፡ ከመ፡ ኢትክድን፡ ኀፍረታ።

Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

因此到了收割的日子，出酒的時候，我必將我的五穀、新酒收回，也必將她應當遮體的羊毛和麻奪回來。
