اِسْمَعِي هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ يَا بَقَرَاتِ بَاشَانَ ٱلَّتِي فِي جَبَلِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ، ٱلظَّالِمَةَ ٱلْمَسَاكِينِ، ٱلسَّاحِقَةَ ٱلْبَائِسِينَ، ٱلْقَائِلَةَ لِسَادَتِهَا: «هَاتِ لِنَشْرَبَ». ١ 1
Hear this word, you cows of Bashan, Who [are] on the mountain of Samaria, Who are oppressing the poor, Who are bruising the needy, Who are saying to their lords: “Bring in, and we drink.”
قَدْ أَقْسَمَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ بِقُدْسِهِ: «هُوَذَا أَيَّامٌ تَأْتِي عَلَيْكُنَّ، يَأْخُذُونَكُنَّ بِخَزَائِمَ، وَذُرِّيَّتَكُنَّ بِشُصُوصِ ٱلسَّمَكِ. ٢ 2
Lord YHWH has sworn by His holiness, “Behold, days are coming on you, And He has taken you away with hooks, And your posterity with fish-hooks.
وَمِنَ ٱلشُّقُوقِ تَخْرُجْنَ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا، وَتَنْدَفِعْنَ إِلَى ٱلْحِصْنِ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٣ 3
And [by] breaches you go forth, A woman before her, And you have cast down the high place,” A declaration of YHWH.
«هَلُمَّ إِلَى بَيْتِ إِيلَ، وَأَذْنِبُوا إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ، وَأَكْثِرُوا ٱلذُّنُوبَ، وَأَحْضِرُوا كُلَّ صَبَاحٍ ذَبَائِحَكُمْ، وَكُلَّ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ عُشُورَكُمْ. ٤ 4
“Enter Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression, And bring in your sacrifices every morning, Your tithes every third year.
وَأَوْقِدُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَمِيرِ تَقْدِمَةَ شُكْرٍ، وَنَادُوا بِنَوَافِلَ وَسَمِّعُوا، لِأَنَّكُمْ هَكَذَا أَحْبَبْتُمْ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٥ 5
And burn a thank-offering with leaven as incense, And proclaim willing gifts, sound! For so you have loved, O sons of Israel,” A declaration of Lord YHWH.
«وَأَنَا أَيْضًا أَعْطَيْتُكُمْ نَظَافَةَ ٱلْأَسْنَانِ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكُمْ، وَعَوَزَ ٱلْخُبْزِ فِي جَمِيعِ أَمَاكِنِكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٦ 6
“And I also—I have given to you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, And lack of bread in all your places, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
وَأَنَا أَيْضًا مَنَعْتُ عَنْكُمُ ٱلْمَطَرَ إِذْ بَقِيَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْهُرٍ لِلْحَصَادِ، وَأَمْطَرْتُ عَلَى مَدِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَعَلَى مَدِينَةٍ أُخْرَى لَمْ أُمْطِرْ. أُمْطِرَ عَلَى ضَيْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، وَٱلضَّيْعَةُ ٱلَّتِي لَمْ يُمْطَرْ عَلَيْهَا جَفَّتْ. ٧ 7
“And I also—I have withheld from you the rain, While yet three months to harvest, And I have sent rain on one city, And on another city I do not send rain, One portion is rained on, And the portion on which it does not rain withers.
فَجَالَتْ مَدِينَتَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٌ إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِتَشْرَبَ مَاءً وَلَمْ تَشْبَعْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٨ 8
And two or three cities have wandered, To the same city to drink water, And they are not satisfied, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
ضَرْبَتُكُمْ بِٱللَّفْحِ وَٱلْيَرَقَانِ. كَثِيرًا مَا أَكَلَ ٱلْقَمَصُ جَنَّاتِكُمْ وَكُرُومَكُمْ وَتِينَكُمْ وَزَيْتُونَكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ٩ 9
“I have struck you with blasting and with mildew, The abundance of your gardens and of your vineyards, And of your figs, and of your olives, The palmer-worm eats, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
أَرْسَلْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَأً عَلَى طَرِيقَةِ مِصْرَ. قَتَلْتُ بِٱلسَّيْفِ فِتْيَانَكُمْ مَعَ سَبْيِ خَيْلِكُمْ، وَأَصْعَدْتُ نَتْنَ مَحَالِّكُمْ حَتَّى إِلَى أُنُوفِكُمْ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١٠ 10
“I have sent among you pestilence by the way of Egypt, I have slain your choice ones by sword, With your captive horses, And I cause the stink of your camps to come up—Even into your nostrils, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
قَلَبْتُ بَعْضَكُمْ كَمَا قَلَبَ ٱللهُ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ، فَصِرْتُمْ كَشُعْلَةٍ مُنْتَشَلَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْحَرِيقِ، فَلَمْ تَرْجِعُوا إِلَيَّ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. ١١ 11
“I have overturned among you, Like the overturn by God of Sodom and Gomorrah, And you are as a brand delivered from a burning, And you have not turned back to Me,” A declaration of YHWH.
«لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. فَمِنْ أَجْلِ أَنِّي أَصْنَعُ بِكَ هَذَا، فَٱسْتَعِدَّ لِلِقَاءِ إِلَهِكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ». ١٢ 12
“Therefore, thus I do to you, O Israel, at last, Because this I do to you, Prepare to meet your God, O Israel.”
فَإِنَّهُ هُوَذَا ٱلَّذِي صَنَعَ ٱلْجِبَالَ وَخَلَقَ ٱلرِّيحَ وَأَخْبَرَ ٱلْإِنْسَانَ مَا هُوَ فِكْرُهُ، ٱلَّذِي يَجْعَلُ ٱلْفَجْرَ ظَلَامًا، وَيَمْشِي عَلَى مَشَارِفِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، يَهْوَهُ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ ٱسْمُهُ. ١٣ 13
For behold, the Former of mountains, and Creator of wind, And the Declarer to man what [is] His thought, He is making dawn obscurity, And is treading on high places of earth, YHWH, God of Hosts, [is] His Name!
