They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.

Sie werden weinend kommen und betend, so will ich sie leiten; ich will sie leiten an den Wasserbächen auf schlichtem Wege, daß sie sich nicht stoßen; denn ich bin Israels Vater, so ist Ephraim mein erstgeborenen Sohn.
Irán con lloro, mas con misericordias los haré volver, y harelos andar junto a arroyos de aguas, por camino derecho en el cual no tropezarán: porque soy a Israel por padre, y Ephraim es mi primogénito.
Ils viennent en pleurant, et je les conduis au milieu de leurs supplications; Je les mène vers des torrents d'eau, Par un chemin uni où ils ne chancellent pas; Car je suis un père pour Israël, Et Ephraïm est mon premier-né.
Saranno andati con pianto; ma io li farò ritornare con supplicazioni; e li condurrò a’ torrenti d’acque, per una strada diritta, nella quale non s’intopperanno; perciocchè io son padre ad Israele, ed Efraim è il mio primogenito
Virão com choro, e com súplicas os levarei; guiá-los-ei aos ribeiros de águas, por caminho direito, no qual não tropeçarão, porque sou um pai para Israel, e Efraim é o meu primogênito.
他們要哭泣而來。 我要照他們懇求的引導他們, 使他們在河水旁行走正直的路, 他們在其上必不致絆跌; 因為我是 以色列 的父, 以法蓮 是我的長子。
