< هُوشَع 9 >
لَا تَفْرَحْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ طَرَبًا كَٱلشُّعُوبِ، لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ زَنَيْتَ عَنْ إِلَهِكَ. أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلْأُجْرَةَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ بَيَادِرِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ. | ١ 1 |
Do not choose to rejoice, Israel; do not celebrate as the crowds do. For you have been committing fornication against your God; you have loved a prize upon every threshing floor of wheat.
لَا يُطْعِمُهُمُ ٱلْبَيْدَرُ وَٱلْمِعْصَرَةُ، وَيَكْذِبُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمِسْطَارُ. | ٢ 2 |
The threshing floor and the oil press will not feed them, and the wine will deceive them.
لَا يَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلْ يَرْجِعُ أَفْرَايِمُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلنَّجِسَ فِي أَشُّورَ. | ٣ 3 |
They will not dwell in the land of the Lord. Ephraim has been returned to Egypt, and he has eaten polluted things among the Assyrians.
لَا يَسْكُبُونَ لِلرَّبِّ خَمْرًا وَلَا تَسُرُّهُ ذَبَائِحُهُمْ. إِنَّهَا لَهُمْ كَخُبْزِ ٱلْحُزْنِ. كُلُّ مَنْ أَكَلَهُ يَتَنَجَّسُ. إِنَّ خُبْزَهُمْ لِنَفْسِهِمْ. لَا يَدْخُلُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤ 4 |
They will not offer a libation of wine to the Lord, and they will not please him. Their sacrifices will be like the bread of mourners. All those who eat it will be defiled. For their bread is of their soul; it will not enter into the house of the Lord.
مَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْسِمِ، وَفِي يَوْمِ عِيدِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ | ٥ 5 |
What will you do on the solemn day, on the day of the feast of the Lord?
إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَرَابِ. تَجْمَعُهُمْ مِصْرُ. تَدْفِنُهُمْ مُوفُ. يَرِثُ ٱلْقَرِيصُ نَفَائِسَ فِضَّتِهِمْ. يَكُونُ ٱلْعَوْسَجُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ. | ٦ 6 |
For, behold, they have been sent away by devastation. Egypt will gather them together; Memphis will bury them. Nettles will inherit their desired silver; the burr will be in their tabernacles.
جَاءَتْ أَيَّامُ ٱلْعِقَابِ. جَاءَتْ أَيَّامُ ٱلْجَزَاءِ. سَيَعْرِفُ إِسْرَائِيلُ. اَلنَّبِيُّ أَحْمَقُ. إِنْسَانُ ٱلرُّوحِ مَجْنُونٌ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ إِثْمِكَ وَكَثْرَةِ ٱلْحِقْدِ. | ٧ 7 |
The days of visitation have arrived; the days of retribution are here. Know this, Israel: that the prophet was foolish, the spiritual man was mad, because of the multitude of your iniquities and the great extent of your foolishness.
أَفْرَايِمُ مُنْتَظَرٌ عِنْدَ إِلَهِي. اَلنَّبِيُّ فَخُّ صَيَّادٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ. حِقْدٌ فِي بَيْتِ إِلَهِهِ. | ٨ 8 |
The watcher of Ephraim was with my God. The prophet has become a snare of ruin over all his ways; insanity is in the house of his God.
قَدْ تَوَغَّلُوا، فَسَدُوا كَأَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ. سَيَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ. سَيُعَاقِبُ خَطَايَاهُمْ. | ٩ 9 |
They have sinned profoundly, just as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sin.
«وَجَدْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَعِنَبٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. رَأَيْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ كَبَاكُورَةٍ عَلَى تِينَةٍ فِي أَوَّلِهَا. أَمَّا هُمْ فَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَنَذَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِلْخِزْيِ، وَصَارُوا رِجْسًا كَمَا أَحَبُّوا. | ١٠ 10 |
I discovered Israel like grapes in the desert. Like the first fruits of the fig tree, I saw their fathers on the end of its branches. But they went in to Baal-peor, and they have been estranged by intermingling, and they have become abominable, just like the things that they chose to love.
أَفْرَايِمُ تَطِيرُ كَرَامَتُهُمْ كَطَائِرٍ مِنَ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ وَمِنَ ٱلْحَبَلِ. | ١١ 11 |
Ephraim has chased away their glory like a bird: from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.
وَإِنْ رَبَّوْا أَوْلَادَهُمْ أُثْكِلُهُمْ إِيَّاهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ إِنْسَانٌ. وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَتَى ٱنْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُمْ! | ١٢ 12 |
And even if they should nurture their sons, I will make them without children among men. Yes, and woe to them, when I have withdrawn from them.
أَفْرَايِمُ كَمَا أَرَى كَصُورٍ مَغْرُوسٍ فِي مَرْعًى، وَلَكِنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ سَيُخْرِجُ بَنِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْقَاتِلِ». | ١٣ 13 |
Ephraim, as I see it, was a Tyre, founded by beauty. And Ephraim will lead his sons to execution.
أَعْطِهِمْ يَارَبُّ. مَاذَا تُعْطِي؟ أَعْطِهِمْ رَحِمًا مُسْقِطًا وَثَدْيَيْنِ يَبِسَيْنِ. | ١٤ 14 |
Give them, O Lord. What will you give them? Give them a womb without children, and dry breasts.
«كُلُّ شَرِّهِمْ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. إِنِّي هُنَاكَ أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ سُوءِ أَفْعَالِهِمْ أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِي. لَا أَعُودُ أُحِبُّهُمْ. جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ. | ١٥ 15 |
All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for I held them there, in their hatred. Because of the malice of their inventions, I will expel them from my house. I will no longer say that I love them; all their leaders have retreated.
أَفْرَايِمُ مَضْرُوبٌ. أَصْلُهُمْ قَدْ جَفَّ. لَا يَصْنَعُونَ ثَمَرًا. وَإِنْ وَلَدُوا أُمِيتُ مُشْتَهَيَاتِ بُطُونِهِمْ». | ١٦ 16 |
Ephraim has been struck; their root has been dried out: by no means will they yield fruit. And even if they should conceive, I will execute the most beloved of their womb.
يَرْفُضُهُمْ إِلَهِي لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ، فَيَكُونُونَ تَائِهِينَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ١٧ 17 |
My God will cast them aside because they have not listened to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.
