何西阿書 11
1 當以色列尚在童年時，我就愛了他；從在埃及時，我就召他為我的兒子。
As the morewtid passith, the king of Israel schal passe forth. For Israel was a child, and Y louyde hym; and fro Egipt Y clepide my sone.
2 可是我越呼喚他們，他們越遠離我，去給巴耳獻祭，向偶像進香。
Thei clepiden hem, so thei yeden awei fro the face of hem. Thei offriden to Baalym, and maden sacrifice to symylacris.
3 是我教了厄弗辣因邁步，雙臂抱了他們，但他們卻不理會是我照顧了他們。
And Y as a nursche of Effraym bare hem in myn armes, and thei wisten not, that Y kepte hem.
4 是我用仁慈的繩索，用愛情的帶子牽著他們，對他們有如高舉嬰兒到自己面頰的慈親，俯身喂養他們。
Y schal drawe hem in the ropis of Adam, in the boondis of charite. And Y schal be to hem as he that enhaunsith the yok on the chekis of hem; and Y bowide doun to hym, that he schulde ete.
5 他們卻要返回埃及埃及，要亞述作他們的君王，因為他們拒絕歸依我。
He schal not turne ayen in to the lond of Egipt. And Assur, he schal be kyng of hym, for thei nolden turne.
6 刀劍必要在他們的城中橫行，殺絕他們的子女，在他們的堡壘中吞噬他們。
A swerd bigan in the citees therof, and it schal waaste the chosun men therof, and schal eete the heedis of hem.
7 我的百姓因著自己的叛逆使我厭煩了；為此上主給他們指定了應負的重軛，因為衪已不再憐惜他們。
And my puple schal hange, at my comynge ayen. But a yok schal be put to hem togidere, that schal not be takun awei.
8 厄弗辣因! 我怎能捨棄你﹖以色列! 我怎能拋掉你。我怎能仗你如同阿德瑪，待你如同責波殷﹖我的心已轉變，我的五內已感動；
Hou schal Y yyue thee, Effraym? schal Y defende thee, Israel? hou schal Y yyue thee? As Adama Y schal sette thee; as Seboym. Myn herte is turned in me; my repentaunce is disturblid togidere.
9 我不再按卜憤怒行事，不再毀滅厄弗辣因，因為我是天主而不是人，是在你們中間的聖言，而不是伏於城門的仇敵。
Y schal not do the strong veniaunce of my wraththe. Y schal not turne, to leese Effraym; for Y am God, and not man. Y am hooli in the myddis of thee, and Y schal not entre in to a citee.
10 的確，他們必要追隨上主，衪要像獅子吼叫；衪一吼叫，衪的子女便要從西方急速歸來，猶如飛鳥由埃及急速飛來，
Thei schulen go after the Lord. He shal rore as a lioun, for he shal rore, and the sones of the see schulen drede.
11 猶如鴿子從亞述飛來；我要使他們安居在他們家中──上主的斷語。
And thei schulen fle awei as a brid fro Egipt, and as a culuer fro the lond of Assiriens. And Y schal sette hem in her housis, seith the Lord.
12 厄弗辣因用，以色列家以詭詐欺騙了我；猶大對天主也是不忠實的證人，他只知忠於迷惑他的人。
Effraym cumpasside me in denying, the hous of Israel in gile. But Judas a witnesse yede doun with God, and with feithful seyntis.
