وَيْلٌ لِلْمُتْرَفِينَ فِي صِهْيَوْنَ وَالْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ فِي جَبَلِ السَّامِرَةِ، نُبلاءِ طَلِيعَةِ الأُمَمِ الَّذِينَ يَتَوَافَدُ إِلَيْهِمْ شَعْبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ١ 1
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, who are named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came!
تَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى مَدِينَةِ كَلْنَةَ وَتَأَمَّلُوا، ثُمَّ انْتَقِلُوا إِلَى حَمَاةَ الْعَظِيمَةِ، وَمِنْهَا انْحَدِرُوا إِلَى جَتَّ مَدِينَةِ الْفِلِسْطِينِيِّينَ. هَلْ هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَمَالِكِ أَمْ تُخُومُهُمْ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ تُخُومِكُمْ؟ ٢ 2
Pass ye to Calneh, and see; and from there go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
أَنْتُمْ يَا مَنْ تَتَجَاهَلُونَ يَوْمَ السُّوءِ وَتُقَرِّبُونَ كُرْسِيَّ الظُّلْمِ. ٣ 3
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
وَيْلٌ لِلرَّاقِدِينَ فَوْقَ أَسِرَّةٍ مِنْ عَاجٍ، الْمُسْتَرْخِينَ فَوْقَ الأَرَائِكِ، الآكِلِينَ لَحْمَ خَيْرَةِ الْحُمْلانِ وَالْعُجُولِ الْمُخْتَارَةِ مِنْ وَسَطِ الْمَعْلِفِ. ٤ 4
That lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat lambs from the flock, and calves from the midst of the stall;
الْمُغَنِّينَ عَلَى صَوْتِ الرَّبَابِ، الْمُخْتَرِعِينَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ آلاتِ غِنَاءٍ كَدَاوُدَ. ٥ 5
That chant to the sound of the harp, and invent to themselves instruments of music, like David;
الشَّارِبِينَ خَمْراً فِي كُؤُوسٍ، الْمُتَطَيِّبِينَ بِأَفْضَلِ الْعُطُورِ، وَلا يَكْتَئِبُونَ عَلَى خَرَابِ يُوسُفَ. ٦ 6
That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments: but they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph.
لِهَذَا سَيَكُونُونَ أَوَّلَ الذَّاهِبِينَ إِلَى السَّبْيِ، وَيَزُولُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ لَهْوٍ وَعَبَثٍ. ٧ 7
Therefore now shall they go captive with the first that go captive, and the banquet of them that stretched themselves shall be removed.
وَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ: قَدْ أَقْسَمْتُ بِذَاتِي، أَنْ أَمْقُتَ زَهْوَ يَعْقُوبَ، وَأُبْغِضَ قُصُورَهُ، فَأُسَلِّمُ الْمَدِينَةَ بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهَا. ٨ 8
The Lord GOD hath sworn by himself, saith the LORD the God of hosts, I abhor the excellency of Jacob, and hate his palaces: therefore I will deliver up the city with all its abundance.
فَيَكُونُ إِذَا بَقِيَ عَشَرَةُ رِجَالٍ فِي بَيْتٍ وَاحِدٍ، أَنَّهُمْ يَلْقَوْنَ حَتْفَهُمْ. ٩ 9
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, they shall die.
وَعِنْدَمَا يُقْبِلُ عَمُّ الْمَيْتِ الْمُشْرِفُ عَلَى إِحْرَاقِ الْجُثَثِ لِيُخْرِجَ عِظَامَهُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ، وَيَسْأَلُ مَنْ هُوَ مُخْتَبِئٌ فِي أَقْصَى الْمَنْزِلِ: أَمَا بَقِيَ وَاحِدٌ مَعَكَ؟ فَيُجِيبُ: لا، ثُمَّ يُضِيفُ: اصْمُتْ وَلا تَذْكُرِ اسْمَ الرَّبِّ. ١٠ 10
And a man’s uncle shall take him up, and he that burneth him, to bring the bones out of the house, and shall say to him that is inside of the house, Is there yet any with thee? and he shall say, No. Then shall he say, Hold thy tongue: for we may not make mention of the name of the LORD.
لأَنَّهُ هَا الرَّبُّ يَأْمُرُ، فَيَهْدِمُ الْبَيْتَ الْكَبِيرَ فَيَصِيرُ رُكَاماً، وَالْبَيْتَ الصَّغِيرَ حُطَاماً. ١١ 11
For, behold, the LORD commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
أَتَجْرِي الْخُيُولُ عَلَى الصُّخُورِ؟ وَهَلْ يُحْرَثُ الْبَحْرُ بِثِيرَانٍ؟ لَقَدْ حَوَّلْتُمُ الْحَقَّ سُمّاً زُعَافاً، وَثِمَارَ الْبِرِّ مَرَارَةً. ١٢ 12
Shall horses run upon the rock? will one plow there with oxen? for ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock:
أَنْتُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُبْتَهِجُونَ بِالْعَدَمِ الْقَائِلُونَ: أَلَيْسَ بِقُوَّتِنَا ظَفِرْنَا؟ ١٣ 13
Ye who rejoice in a thing of nought, who say, Have we not taken to us horns by our own strength?
هَا أَنَا أُثِيرُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّةً يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ، يَقُولُ السَّيِّدُ الرَّبُّ الْقَدِيرُ، فَيَسُومُونَكُمُ الْعَذَابَ مِنْ مَدْخَلِ حَمَاةَ إِلَى وَادِي الْعَرَبَةِ». ١٤ 14
But, behold, I will raise up against you a nation, O house of Israel, saith the LORD the God of hosts; and they shall afflict you from the entrance of Hamath to the river of the wilderness.
