當爾幼沖、我誨爾諄諄、何至今日、不以我為父。

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——

自茲以往、爾豈不呼我曰、爾乃我父、為我少年之導、

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?’

俾我告耶路撒冷人、宣播其言、曰、我憶在昔、邦國肇造、爾行於野、無人耕種之地、當時我眷愛爾、若納聘之幼女。

予竊自思、能安以為爾赤子、斯土膏腴、列國之民以為佳業、焉能予爾。轉念曰、爾稱予為父、無違逆予、則可。

彼棄夫子之道、背上帝之約、

又給之以葡萄園、在亞割之谷、望故鄉而作謳歌、與肇邦之日、出自埃及無異。

上帝兮、自予之幼、爾訓迪予、迄於今日、彰爾經綸兮、

彼為我所導、必哭泣禱告而來、我為以色列族之父、以法蓮人為余冢子、我使彼履道坦坦、行於溪畔、無虞顛趾。

使拙者明徹、少者通達。

上帝兮、我之上帝兮、日久月長、必眷佑予、至死不廢兮、

我聞以法蓮哭曰、昔予如放逸之犢、爾督責予、而我受責、爾耶和華乃我之上帝、俾我悛改。我既悛改、悔於厥衷、我既受教、擊髀浩嘆、幼時已干罪戾、既長更負愆尤、含羞抱愧、無地可容。耶和華曰、以法蓮豈非我之赤子、我所眷愛者哉、予責之、輒生憐念、予矜憫為懷、復加以撫恤。

以色列族因蹈愆尤、遂致殞沒、當歸誠爾之上帝耶和華、籲告之曰、請宥我愆、加以恩寵、口為頌祝、以代牲牷。我不求救於亞述、不恃驍騎、不稱所作之像為我上帝、無父之子、惟爾矜憫、

爾曰、奚為不納、曰、誠因爾遺棄幼時所娶之妻、彼乃爾之伉儷、爾嘗與彼立約、耶和華為證、

余自孩提、惟主耶和華是望兮。

彼稱木為父、稱石為母、居恆之際、則背逆乎我、患難之時、則求予援手。

人自幼稚、欲飭其行為、當如之何、惟謹守爾道、斯乃可兮、
