< هُوشَع 11 >
«لَمَّا كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ غُلَامًا أَحْبَبْتُهُ، وَمِنْ مِصْرَ دَعَوْتُ ٱبْنِي. | ١ 1 |
When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
كُلَّ مَا دَعَوْهُمْ ذَهَبُوا مِنْ أَمَامِهِمْ يَذْبَحُونَ لِلْبَعْلِيمِ، وَيُبَخِّرُونَ لِلتَّمَاثِيلِ ٱلْمَنْحُوتَةِ. | ٢ 2 |
As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed unto the Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
وَأَنَا دَرَّجْتُ أَفْرَايِمَ مُمْسِكًا إِيَّاهُمْ بِأَذْرُعِهِمْ، فَلَمْ يَعْرِفُوا أَنِّي شَفَيْتُهُمْ. | ٣ 3 |
Yet I taught Ephraim to go; I took them on my arms; 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 |
I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid meat before them.
«لَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، بَلْ أَشُّورُ هُوَ مَلِكُهُ، لِأَنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَرْجِعُوا. | ٥ 5 |
He shall not return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
يَثُورُ ٱلسَّيْفُ فِي مُدُنِهِمْ وَيُتْلِفُ عِصِيَّهَا، وَيَأْكُلُهُمْ مِنْ أَجْلِ آرَائِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
And the sword shall fall upon his cities, and shall consume his bars, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
وَشَعْبِي جَانِحُونَ إِلَى ٱلِٱرْتِدَادِ عَنِّي، فَيَدْعُونَهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْعَلِيِّ وَلَا أَحَدٌ يَرْفَعُهُ. | ٧ 7 |
And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they call them to [him that is] on high, none at all will 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 give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my compassions are kindled together.
«لَا أُجْرِي حُمُوَّ غَضَبِي. لَا أَعُودُ أَخْرِبُ أَفْرَايِمَ، لِأَنِّي ٱللهُ لَا إِنْسَانٌ، ٱلْقُدُّوسُ فِي وَسَطِكَ فَلَا آتِي بِسَخَطٍ. | ٩ 9 |
I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
«وَرَاءَ ٱلرَّبِّ يَمْشُونَ. كَأَسَدٍ يُزَمْجِرُ. فَإِنَّهُ يُزَمْجِرُ فَيُسْرِعُ ٱلْبَنُونَ مِنَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ١٠ 10 |
They shall walk after the LORD, who shall roar like a lion: for he shall roar, and the children shall come trembling from the west.
يُسْرِعُونَ كَعُصْفُورٍ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَكَحَمَامَةٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ أَشُّورَ، فَأُسْكِنُهُمْ فِي بُيُوتِهِمْ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. | ١١ 11 |
They shall come trembling as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will make them to dwell in 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 compasseth me about with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the Holy One.
