爾往、向耶路撒冷呼曰、耶和華云、我憶爾少年之戀慕、和親之愛情、彼時爾從我於野、未經耕種之地、

以法蓮自知其病、猶大自覺其傷、以法蓮則往亞述、遣人詣耶雷布王、然彼不能醫其病、療其傷、

斯民得食而飽、飽則心驕、而忘乎我、

異邦虛無之物、有能降雨者乎、天能自施甘霖乎、我之上帝耶和華歟、行此者非爾乎、故我仰望爾、蓋此諸事、皆爾所為也、

姊名阿荷拉、妹名阿荷利巴、俱歸於我、而生子女、阿荷拉即撒瑪利亞、阿荷利巴即耶路撒冷也、

爾何奔馳、改易爾途、昔緣亞述而蒙羞、今於埃及、亦必蒙恥、爾必以手抱首、自彼而出、蓋爾所恃者、耶和華棄之、爾不能因之得利達、有曰、人出其妻、妻離之而他適、前夫豈復納之、若然、斯地非受污之甚乎、耶和華曰、惟爾相愛者眾、與之行淫、猶思歸我乎、

起往埃及、未請示於我口、惟以法老為保障、託埃及之蔭庇、禍哉其人、法老之保障、必為爾之羞辱、埃及之蔭庇、必為爾之愧恥、

爾所造之神安在乎、彼若能援爾於難、則任其起而為之、猶大歟、爾神之數、等於爾邑、○

非依我與其祖之約、即援其手、導出埃及時所立者、我雖為其夫、彼乃背我約、耶和華言之矣、

爾曰、不然、我將乘馬而奔、故爾必奔、又曰、我乘迅疾之騎、故追爾者亦迅疾焉、

爾將被逐、離乎人羣、與野獸同居、囓草如牛、歷至七期、迨爾知至上者治世人之國、隨意畀人、

阿荷利巴乎、主耶和華曰、爾之情人、爾所厭者、我必興之以攻爾、四方集之以敵爾、

彼往埃及求助、恃其車馬之眾、驍騎之強、不仰望以色列之聖者、不尋求耶和華、禍哉其人、然耶和華亦有明智、必降災禍、不食其言、必興起以攻作惡之家、與助惡之輩、埃及族、人也、非神也、其馬、肉也、非靈也、迨耶和華舉手、則助者躓、受助者仆、同歸滅亡、

遂取鞏固之城、膏腴之壤、得獲充以嘉物之宅、鑿成之井、葡萄園、橄欖園、結實之樹甚多、食之果腹軀體豐肥、賴爾鴻恩而樂、惟彼弗順、叛逆乎爾、背爾法律、爾之先知勸令歸爾、彼乃殺之、大干震怒、

使其駕行地之高處、食田所產、㗖巖穴所出之蜜、哺堅石所產之油、使食牛酪、羊乳羔脂、及巴珊之牡綿羊、牡山羊、至嘉之麥、亦飲葡萄之汁、耶書崙豐肥而奔踶、碩大而光澤、乃違離造之之上帝、藐視救之之磐石、

我聞以法蓮為己悲歎曰、爾責我、而我受責、我若未習負軛之犢、求爾轉我、我則轉焉、蓋爾乃我之上帝耶和華也、

亞述王提革拉毘尼色至、而不相助、反窘迫之、亞哈斯取耶和華室、及王宮牧伯家之物、餽亞述王、仍無裨益、亞哈斯王困苦之際、愈干犯耶和華、

耶和華曰、爾傷不可療、爾創重矣、無人伸爾冤抑、無藥裹爾傷痕、爾之情人俱忘爾、而不訪問爾、緣爾愆尤重大、罪惡增多、故我以敵人所加之傷傷爾、以暴者所加之懲懲爾、爾曷因創傷而哀號乎、爾之痛苦、不可療也、我之待爾若此、以爾愆尤重大、罪惡增多也、

耶和華曰、是日是時、以色列人必與猶大人偕來、且行且哭、尋求其上帝耶和華、面錫安而詢其事曰、其來、連屬於耶和華、結永久弗忘之約、○

我心歟、爾其復安、耶和華厚待爾兮、

以色列歟、爾因罪而顚覆、當歸爾之上帝耶和華、

我過而見爾時、乃相愛之際、則以衣襟覆爾、蔽爾裸體、與爾誓約、爾則歸我、主耶和華言之矣、

我必歸於我所、待其認己罪、而求見我面、彼遇難時、必切求我、其來、我儕歸耶和華、彼既裂我、亦必醫我、彼既擊我、亦必裹我、

恐爾自謂、得此貨財、乃我之能、與我之力、當憶爾上帝耶和華、因彼賜爾以力、俾得貨財、以踐所誓爾祖之約、有如今日、

以爾繡衣覆之、以我之膏及香、陳於其前、

爾意欲效異邦、同於列國之族、服事木石、此意必不得成、

爾悖逆之子歟、尚其歸我、我必醫爾悖逆、曰、我歸爾、緣爾為我之上帝耶和華也、瞻仰岡陵、恃山上之喧闐、實屬徒然、以色列之拯救、乃在我上帝耶和華、自我少時、我之列祖勞力而得牛羊、及其子女、彼可恥之物、乃吞噬之、我當蒙羞而臥、以恥蔽身、蓋我與我列祖、自幼迄今、干犯我上帝耶和華、不從其言、

我儕其察己途、轉歸耶和華兮、宜向天上上帝、舉手致心兮、我儕犯罪悖逆、爾未赦宥兮、

此乃儆醒者所定、聖使所命、使生民咸知至上者治世人之國、隨意畀人、立人間之至卑者主之、

昔爾上帝耶和華、誓於爾祖亞伯拉罕以撒雅各、賜爾之地、既導爾入、使得大而且美之邑、非爾所自建者、得其第宅、充以嘉物、非爾所自充者、得已鑿之井、非爾所自鑿者、得所植之葡萄園、橄欖樹、非爾所自植者、爾食之而飽、當斯時也、慎勿忘耶和華、即導爾出埃及、脫於奴隸之室者、

爾將被逐、離乎人羣、與野獸同居、囓草如牛、為天露所濡、歷至七期、迨爾知至上者治世人之國、隨意畀人、

既而悟曰、我父若許傭人、其糧有餘、我乃於此飢而死耶、我將起而歸父、謂之曰、父歟、我獲罪於天及爾、今而後、不堪稱為爾子矣、視我如傭人之一、可也、遂起而歸父、相去尚遠、父見而憫之、趨抱其頸而吻接之、

被逐離乎人羣、心變如獸、與野驢同居、囓草如牛、身為天露所濡、迨知至上上帝治世人之國、隨意立人主之、
