¹ افرايم راعي الريح وتابع الريح الشرقية. كل يوم يكثر الكذب والاغتصاب ويقطعون مع اشور عهدا والزيت الى مصر يجلب.

² فللرب خصام مع يهوذا وهو مزمع ان يعاقب يعقوب بحسب طرقه. بحسب افعاله يرد عليه

³ في البطن قبض بعقب اخيه وبقوّته جاهد مع الله.

⁴ جاهد مع الملاك وغلب. بكى واسترحمه. وجده في بيت ايل وهناك تكلم معنا.

⁵ والرب اله الجنود يهوه اسمه.

⁶ وانت فارجع الى الهك. احفظ الرحمة والحق وانتظر الهك دائما

⁷ مثل الكنعاني في يده موازين الغش. يحب ان يظلم.

⁸ فقال افرايم اني صرت غنيا. وجدت لنفسي ثروة. جميع اتعابي لا يجدون لي فيها ذنبا هو خطية.

⁹ وانا الرب الهك من ارض مصر حتى اسكنك الخيام كايام الموسم.

¹⁰ وكلّمت الانبياء وكثّرت الرؤى وبيد الانبياء مثّلت امثالا.

¹¹ انهم في جلعاد قد صاروا اثما بطلا لا غير. في الجلجال ذبحوا ثيرانا ومذابحهم كرجم في اتلام الحقل.

¹² وهرب يعقوب الى صحراء ارام وخدم اسرائيل لاجل امرأة ولاجل امرأة رعى

¹³ وبنبيّ اصعد الرب اسرائيل من مصر وبنبيّ‎حفظ.

¹⁴ اغاظه اسرائيل بمرارة فيترك دماءه عليه ويردّ سيده عاره عليه

³ فقالوا له هكذا يقول حزقيا. هذا اليوم يوم شدة وتأديب واهانة. لان الاجنّة قد دنت الى المولد ولا قوّة للولادة.

² Son of man, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?

³ Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with beautiful branches, and with a forest-like shade, and of high stature; and its top was among the thick boughs.

⁴ The waters nourished it, the deep made it to grow: its rivers ran all around its plantation; and it sent out its channels to all the trees of the field.

⁵ Therefore its stature was exalted above all the trees of the field; and its boughs were multiplied, and its branches became long by reason of many waters, when it shot [them] forth.

⁶ All the birds of the sky made their nests in its boughs; and under its branches did all the animals of the field bring forth their young; and under its shadow lived all great nations.

⁷ Thus was it beautiful in its greatness, in the length of its branches; for its root was by many waters.

⁸ The cedars in the garden of God could not hide it; the fir trees were not like its boughs, and the plane trees were not as its branches; nor was any tree in the garden of God like it in its beauty.

⁹ I made it beautiful by the multitude of its branches, so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied it.
