«أَفْرَايِمُ رَاعِي ٱلرِّيحِ، وَتَابِعُ ٱلرِّيحِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ. كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يُكَثِّرُ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَٱلِٱغْتِصَابَ، وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَعَ أَشُّورَ عَهْدًا، وَٱلزَّيْتُ إِلَى مِصْرَ يُجْلَبُ. ١ 1
Ephraim striveth after wind, and followeth after the east wind; all the day he multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
فَلِلرَّبِّ خِصَامٌ مَعَ يَهُوذَا، وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يُعَاقِبَ يَعْقُوبَ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِهِ. بِحَسَبِ أَفْعَالِهِ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ. ٢ 2
The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways, according to his doings will He recompense him.
«فِي ٱلْبَطْنِ قَبَضَ بِعَقِبِ أَخِيهِ، وَبِقُوَّتِهِ جَاهَدَ مَعَ ٱللهِ. ٣ 3
In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and by his strength he strove with a godlike being;
جَاهَدَ مَعَ ٱلْمَلَاكِ وَغَلَبَ. بَكَى وَٱسْتَرْحَمَهُ. وَجَدَهُ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَهُنَاكَ تَكَلَّمَ مَعَنَا. ٤ 4
So he strove with an angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him; at Beth-el he would find him, and there he would speak with us;
وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَهْوَهُ ٱسْمُهُ. ٥ 5
But the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD is His name.
وَأَنْتَ فَٱرْجِعْ إِلَى إِلَهِكَ. اِحْفَظِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ وَٱلْحَقَّ، وَٱنْتَظِرْ إِلَهَكَ دَائِمًا. ٦ 6
Therefore turn thou to thy God; keep mercy and justice, and wait for thy God continually.
«مِثْلُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّ فِي يَدِهِ مَوَازِينُ ٱلْغِشِّ. يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَظْلِمَ. ٧ 7
As for the trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand. He loveth to oppress.
فَقَالَ أَفْرَايِمُ: إِنِّي صِرْتُ غَنِيًّا. وَجَدْتُ لِنَفْسِي ثَرْوَةً. جَمِيعُ أَتْعَابِي لَا يَجِدُونَ لِي فِيهَا ذَنْبًا هُوَ خَطِيَّةٌ. ٨ 8
And Ephraim said: 'Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth; in all my labours they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin.'
وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى أُسْكِنَكَ ٱلْخِيَامَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلْمَوْسِمِ. ٩ 9
But I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed season.
وَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَكَثَّرْتُ ٱلرُّؤَى، وَبِيَدِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ مَثَّلْتُ أَمْثَالًا». ١٠ 10
I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes.
إِنَّهُمْ فِي جِلْعَادَ قَدْ صَارُوا إِثْمًا، بُطْلًا لَا غَيْرُ. فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ ذَبَحُوا ثِيرَانًا، وَمَذَابِحُهُمْ كَرُجَمٍ فِي أَتْلَامِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ١١ 11
If Gilead be given to iniquity becoming altogether vanity, in Gilgal they sacrifice unto bullocks; yea, their altars shall be as heaps in the furrows of the field.
وَهَرَبَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى صَحْرَاءِ أَرَامَ، وَخَدَمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ لِأَجْلِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، وَلِأَجْلِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ رَعَى. ١٢ 12
And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
وَبِنَبِيٍّ أَصْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَبِنَبِيٍّ حُفِظَ. ١٣ 13
And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he kept.
أَغَاظَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِمَرَارَةٍ، فَيَتْرُكُ دِمَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَيَرُدُّ سَيِّدُهُ عَارَهُ عَلَيْهِ. ١٤ 14
Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly; therefore shall his blood be cast upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
