1 “ When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.이스라엘이 어린아이였을 때에 내가 그를 사랑하였고, 내 아들을 이집트에서 불러내었다.
2 They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to engraved images.The more the prophets called them, the more they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.그러나 사람들이 그들을 부를수록 그들은 오히려 떠나갔다. 그들은 바알들에게 제사하고 새긴 우상들에게 향을 피웠다.
3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them by their arms, but they didn’t know that I healed them.Yet I taught Ephraim to walk; I took them on my arms; but they knew not that I healed them.그런데도 내가 에브라임에게 걷는 법을 가르쳤고, 그들을 내 팔로 안아 주었다. 그러나 그들은 내가 자기들을 고쳐 준 줄을 알지 못하였다.
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that lift up the yoke on their jaws; and I laid food before them.내가 사람의 줄, 곧 사랑의 끈으로 그들을 이끌었고, 그들의 목에서 멍에를 들어 올려 주는 자처럼 그들을 대하였으며, 몸을 굽혀 그들을 먹였다.
5 “ They won’t return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.They shall not return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be their king, because they refused to return to me.그들은 이집트 땅으로 돌아가지 못할 것이며, 도리어 앗시리아 사람이 그들의 왕이 될 것이다. 이는 그들이 회개하기를 거부하였기 때문이다.
6 The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans.And the sword shall fall upon their cities, and shall consume their bars, and devour them, because of their own counsels.칼이 그들의 성읍들 위에 떨어져 성문의 빗장을 부수고 그들의 계획을 끝장낼 것이다.
7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won’t exalt them.And my people are bent on backsliding from me: though they call them to him that is on high, none at all will exalt him.내 백성은 나를 떠나기로 작정하였다. 그들이 지극히 높으신 분께 부르짖을지라도 그분은 결코 그들을 높여 주지 않으실 것이다.
8 “How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? how shall I cast thee off, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboiim? my heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together.에브라임아, 내가 어떻게 너를 포기하겠느냐? 이스라엘아, 내가 어떻게 너를 넘겨주겠느냐? 내가 어떻게 너를 아드마처럼 만들겠느냐? 내가 어떻게 너를 스보임처럼 되게 하겠느냐? 내 마음이 내 속에서 돌이키고 내 긍휼이 불붙듯 일어난다.
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God, and not man— the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath.I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee; and I will not come in wrath.나는 나의 맹렬한 진노를 쏟지 않겠고, 다시는 에브라임을 멸하려고 돌아서지 않겠다. 이는 내가 하나님이요 사람이 아니며, 네 가운데 계신 거룩하신 분이기 때문이다. 나는 진노로 임하지 않겠다.
10 They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.They shall walk after Jehovah, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.그들은 여호와를 따라 걸을 것이다. 여호와께서 사자처럼 부르짖으실 것이니, 그분이 부르짖으시면 자녀들이 서쪽에서부터 떨며 올 것이다.
11 They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses,” says Yahweh.They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will make them to dwell in their houses, saith Jehovah.그들이 이집트에서부터 새처럼, 앗시리아 땅에서부터 비둘기처럼 떨며 올 것이니, 내가 그들을 그들의 집에 살게 하겠다고 여호와께서 말씀하신다.
12 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.Ephraim compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.에브라임은 거짓으로, 이스라엘 집은 속임수로 나를 둘러쌌다. 유다는 여전히 하나님을 떠나 방황하며 거룩하신 분께 신실하지 못하다.
