3 U utrobi uhvati za petu brata svojega, i u sili svojoj bori se s Bogom;

Yea he strove against a Messenger, and prevailed, he wept, and made supplication unto him, —At Bethel, he found him, and, there, he spake with us;
5 Ali je Gospod Bog nad vojskama, Gospod mu je spomen.

8 I govori Jefrem: baš se obogatih, stekoh blago, ni u kom trudu mom neæe mi naæi nepravde koja bi bila grijeh.
So then Ephraim said, Surely I have gotten me riches, I have found wealth for myself, —in all my toils, they cannot find in me perversity which is sin.
9 A ja sam Gospod Bog tvoj od zemlje Misirske, još æu ti dati da sjediš u šatorima kao o praznicima.
But, I, Yahweh, have been thy God, from the land of Egypt, —I will yet make thee dwell in tents, as in the days of appointed meeting.
10 I govoriæu preko proroka, i umnožiæu utvare, i davaæu prièu preko proroka.

13 I prorokom izvede Gospod Izrailja iz Misira, i prorokom èuva ga.
And, by a prophet, Yahweh, brought up, Israel out of Egypt, —and, by a prophet, was he watched over.
14 Jefrem ga ljuto razgnjevi; zato æe ostaviti na njemu krv njegovu, i vratiæe mu sramotu njegovu Gospod njegov.
Ephraim hath provoked, very bitterly, —his own blood, therefore, upon him, will he leave, and, his reproach, shall his Lord, bring back to him.
