שָׁמ֣וֹעַ שָׁמַ֗עְתִּי אֶפְרַ֙יִם֙ מִתְנוֹדֵ֔ד יִסַּרְתַּ֙נִי֙ וָֽאִוָּסֵ֔ר כְּעֵ֖גֶל לֹ֣א לֻמָּ֑ד הֲשִׁיבֵ֣נִי וְאָשׁ֔וּבָה כִּ֥י אַתָּ֖ה יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהָֽי׃
Tunay na narinig Ko si Efraim na tumataghoy sa kanyang sarili: “Pinarusahan Mo ako, at ako'y naparusahan, gaya ng guyang hindi sanay sa pamatok; panumbalikin Mo ako, at ako'y manunumbalik, sapagkat Ikaw ang Walang-Hanggan na aking Diyos.”
Targum Jonathan
I hear and reveal before Me the house of Israel, their words and their groaning because of their exile, They say "Suffering has befallen us, but we cannot learn, like a calf who doesn't learn how to plough. Help us return to serve you, for you are the Lord our God.
