1 Israel, return to Yahweh your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.O Israel, return unto Jehovah thy God; for thou hast fallen by thine iniquity.이스라엘아, 네 하나님 여호와께로 돌아오라. 너는 네 죄 때문에 넘어졌다.
2 Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good; so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.Take with you words, and return unto Jehovah: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good: so will we render as bullocks the offering of our lips.말씀을 가지고 여호와께로 돌아와 그분께 아뢰어라. "우리의 모든 죄를 용서하시고 선한 것을 받아 주십시오. 그러면 우리가 입술로 황소를 드리듯 찬양을 올려 드리겠습니다.
3 Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘ Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, Ye are our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.앗시리아는 우리를 구원할 수 없습니다. 우리는 말을 타지 않겠고, 다시는 우리 손으로 만든 것을 향해 '우리의 신들!'이라고 말하지 않겠습니다. 아버지 없는 자가 주 안에서 긍휼을 얻기 때문입니다."
4 “ I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely; for mine anger is turned away from him."내가 그들의 방황을 고쳐 주겠다. 내가 그들을 기꺼이 사랑하겠으니, 내 진노가 그에게서 떠났기 때문이다.
5 I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.I will be as the dew unto Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.내가 이스라엘에게 이슬과 같이 되겠다. 그가 백합처럼 피어나고 레바논의 나무처럼 뿌리를 깊이 내릴 것이다.
6 His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive-tree, and his smell as Lebanon.그의 가지가 뻗어 나가고, 그의 아름다움이 올리브 나무 같으며, 그의 향기가 레바논 같을 것이다.
7 Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.They that dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine: the scent thereof shall be as the wine of Lebanon.사람들이 그의 그늘 아래 거할 것이다. 그들이 곡식처럼 되살아나고 포도나무처럼 꽃 피우니, 그들의 향기가 레바논의 포도주 같을 것이다.
8 Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is found.”Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him: I am like a green fir-tree; from me is thy fruit found.에브라임아, 내가 다시 우상과 무슨 상관이 있겠느냐? 내가 응답하고 그를 돌볼 것이다. 나는 푸른 잣나무 같으니, 너의 열매는 내게서 나온다."
9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.Who is wise, that he may understand these things? prudent, that he may know them? for the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them; but transgressors shall fall therein.누가 지혜로워 이 일들을 깨닫겠느냐? 누가 명철하여 이를 알겠느냐? 여호와의 길은 바르니, 의인은 그 길로 걸어가지만, 거역하는 자는 그 길에서 걸려 넘어진다.
