自茲以往、爾豈不呼我曰、爾乃我父、為我少年之導、

从今以后，你岂不向我呼叫说：‘我父啊，你是我幼年的恩主。

你不是才向我呼叫说：‘我父啊，你是我年轻时的密友，

你不是才向我呼叫说：‘我父啊，你是我年轻时的密友，

你不是刚对我说，‘我父啊！你从我年幼时就做我的朋友。

你刚刚不是还呼叫我：‘我父啊！你是我年轻时的良伴；

從今以後，你豈不向我呼叫說：我父啊，你是我幼年的恩主。

你不是才向我呼叫說：『我父啊，你是我年輕時的密友，

你不是才向我呼叫說：『我父啊，你是我年輕時的密友，

你不是剛對我說，『我父啊！你從我年幼時就做我的朋友。

你剛剛不是還呼叫我：‘我父啊！你是我年輕時的良伴；

豈不是你剛剛呼叫我：「我父啊，你是我青年時的配偶——

當爾幼沖、我誨爾諄諄、何至今日、不以我為父。

爾方稱我為父、爾又曰、我在爾幼時、向爾施愛、

Have you not just called to me:‘ My Father, my friend from my youth,

You have just now called out to me. You said,‘ My Father, you have been my friend ever since I was young.

Have you not just now called to me,‘ My father, you are the friend of my youth—

Yet you say to me,‘ Father, you have been my guide since my youth.

Haven’t you recently called to me,“ My Father! You were my friend in my youth.

Have you not just now called to Me,‘ My Father, You are the friend of my youth?

Will you not from this time cry to Me,‘ My father, You are the guide of my youth?

Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My Father, thou art the guide of my youth?

Have you not lately called to Me,“ My Father. You were my friend in my youth.

Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou[ art] the guide of my youth?

Even now you say to me,‘ You are my father! You have been my faithful companion ever since I was young.

Will you not from this time cry to me,‘ My Father, you are the guide of my youth?’

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、

我曾曰、我置爾於諸子中、錫爾樂土、列國中極美之業、又曰、爾必稱我為父、不轉而不從我、

彼乃遺棄少時之偶、忘其上帝之約、

又給以葡萄園、予亞割谷、為冀望之門、在此彼必與我相應、如其幼年之時、出埃及地之日、

上帝歟、自幼訓我、我素宣爾奇行兮、

彼將哭泣而來、為我所導、且禱且行、我使之經溪濱、循正直之途、而不顚躓、蓋我為以色列之父、以法蓮為我首生之子、○

使庸人得聰睿、少者得知識與精明、

此上帝永為我上帝、作我先導、直至於死兮、

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、我既被轉、後則悛改、我受教而拊髀、緣負幼時之辱、含羞抱愧、以法蓮為我之愛子乎、為可悅之子乎、我每言及、則深念之、心為之動、我必矜恤之、耶和華言之矣、○

以色列歟、爾因罪而顚覆、當歸爾之上帝耶和華、以言歸耶和華曰、宥我諸愆、以恩納我、我則以言代犢、奉獻於爾、我不恃亞述之救援、不復乘馬、不復謂我手所造者曰、爾為我神、孤兒必蒙矜憫於爾耶和華、

惟爾曰、奚為哉、乃因耶和華在爾與爾少時之妻間為證、彼雖為爾伉儷、盟約之妻、而爾以詐偽待之、

主耶和華歟、爾為我望、我自幼冲、惟爾是恃兮、

彼謂木曰、爾為我父、謂石曰、爾乃生我、且背我而不面我、惟遭患難、則曰起而援我、

少者何以潔其品行、惟依爾言自慎兮、
