هُوشَع 11
| «لَمَّا كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ غُلَامًا أَحْبَبْتُهُ، وَمِنْ مِصْرَ دَعَوْتُ ٱبْنِي. | ١ 1 |
Early in the morning were they cast off, the king of Israel has been cast off: for Israel is a child, and I loved him, and out of Egypt have I called his children.
| كُلَّ مَا دَعَوْهُمْ ذَهَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ يَذْبَحُونَ لِلْبَعْلِيمِ، وَيُبَخِّرُونَ لِلتَّمَاثِيلِ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ. | ٢ 2 |
As I called them, so they departed from my presence: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burnt incense to graven images.
| وَأَنَا دَرَّجْتُ أَفْرَايِمَ مُمْسِكًا إِيَّاهُمْ بِأَذْرُعِهِمْ، فَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا أَنِّي شَفَيْتُهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
Yet I bound the feet of Ephraim, I took him on my arm; but they knew not that I healed them.
| كُنْتُ أَجْذِبُهُمْ بِحِبَالِ ٱلْبَشَرِ، بِرُبُطِ ٱلْمَحَبَّةِ، وَكُنْتُ لَهُمْ كَمَنْ يَرْفَعُ ٱلنِّيرَ عَنْ أَعْنَاقِهِمْ، وَمَدَدْتُ إِلَيْهِ مُطْعِمًا إِيَّاهُ. | ٤ 4 |
When men were destroyed, I drew them with the bands of my love: and I will be to them as a man smiting [another] on his cheek: and I will have respect to him, I will prevail with him.
| «لَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، بَلْ أَشُّورُ هُوَ مَلِكُهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا. | ٥ 5 |
Ephraim dwelt in Egypt; and [as for] the Assyrian, he was his king, because he would not return.
| يَثُورُ ٱلسَّيْفُ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ وَيُتْلِفُ عِصِيَّهَا، وَيَأْكُلُهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ آرَائِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
And in his cities he prevailed not with the sword, and he ceased [to war] with his hands: and they shall eat [of the fruit] of their own devices:
| وَشَعْبِي جَانِحُونَ إِلَى ٱلِٱرْتِدَادِ عَنِّي، فَيَدْعُونَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْعَلِيِّ وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَرْفَعُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
and his people [shall] cleave fondly to their habitation; but God shall be angry with his precious things, and shall not at all exalt him.
| كَيْفَ أَجْعَلُكَ يَا أَفْرَايِمُ، أُصَيِّرُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ؟! كَيْفَ أَجْعَلُكَ كَأَدَمَةَ، أَصْنَعُكَ كَصَبُويِيمَ؟! قَدِ ٱنْقَلَبَ عَلَيَّ قَلْبِي. ٱضْطَرَمَتْ مَرَاحِمِي جَمِيعًا. | ٨ 8 |
How shall I deal with thee, Ephraim? [how] shall I protect thee, Israel? what shall I do with thee? I will make thee as Adama, and as Seboim; my heart is turned at once, my repentance is powerfully excited.
| «لَا أُجْرِي حُمُوَّ غَضَبِي. لَا أَعُودُ أَخْرِبُ أَفْرَايِمَ، لِأَنِّي ٱللهُ لَا إِنْسَانٌ، ٱلْقُدُّوسُ فِي وَسَطِكَ فَلَا آتِي بِسَخَطٍ. | ٩ 9 |
I will not act according to the fury of my wrath, I will not abandon Ephraim to be utterly destroyed: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One within thee: and I will not enter into the city.
| «وَرَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَمْشُونَ. كَأَسَدٍ يُزَمْجِرُ. فَإِنَّهُ يُزَمْجِرُ فَيُسْرِعُ ٱلْبَنُونَ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ١٠ 10 |
I will go after the Lord: he shall utter [his voice] as a lion: for he shall roar, and the children of the waters shall be amazed.
| يُسْرِعُونَ كَعُصْفُورٍ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَكَحَمَامَةٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ أَشُّورَ، فَأُسْكِنُهُمْ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١١ 11 |
They shall be amazed [and fly] as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will restore them to their houses, saith the Lord.
| قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِي أَفْرَايِمُ بِٱلْكَذِبِ، وَبَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِٱلْمَكْرِ، وَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَهُوذَا شَارِدًا عَنِ ٱللهِ وَعَنِ ٱلْقُدُّوسِ ٱلْأَمِينِ. | ١٢ 12 |
Ephraim has compassed me with falsehood, and the house of Israel and Juda with ungodliness: [but] now God knows them, and they shall be called God's holy people.
