هُوشَع 12
| يَرْعَى أَفْرَايِمُ الرِّيحَ، وَيُطَارِدُ الرِّيحَ الشَّرْقِيَّةَ طَوَالَ الْيَوْمِ، وَيَرْتَكِبُ الأَكَاذِيبَ وَالْجَوْرَ بِكَثْرَةٍ، وَيُبْرِمُ عَهْداً مَعَ أَشُّورَ، وَيَبْعَثُ بِزَيْتِ الزَّيْتُونِ إِلَى مِصْرَ. | ١ 1 |
Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
| لِلرَّبِّ دَعْوَى عَلَى يَهُوذَا، وَسَيُعَاقِبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِهِ وَيُجَازِيهِ بِمُوجِبِ أَعْمَالِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
The LORD also has a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways and according to his deeds he will repay him.
| فَقَبَضَ يَعْقُوبُ وَهُوَ مَا بَرِحَ فِي الرَّحِمِ عَلَى عَقِبِ أَخِيهِ، وَفِي رُجُولَتِهِ جَاهَدَ مَعَ اللهِ. | ٣ 3 |
In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he contended with God.
| تَصَارَعَ مَعَ الْمَلاكِ وَغَلَبَ. بَكَى وَالْتَمَسَ رِضَاهُ وَبَرَكَتَهُ، الْتَقَاهُ اللهُ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ فَخَاطَبَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٤ 4 |
Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made petition to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with him,
| هُوَ اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ وَيَهْوَهُ اسْمُهُ. | ٥ 5 |
even the LORD, the God of hosts; The LORD is his name of renown.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَارْجِعُوا إِلَى إِلَهِكُمْ تَائِبِينَ. تَمَسَّكُوا بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَعَدْلِهِ، وَدَاوِمُوا عَلَى الِاتِّكَالِ عَلَيْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
Therefore turn to your God. Keep kindness and justice, and wait continually for your God.
| إِنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ مِثْلُ التَّاجِرِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّ يَحْمِلُ بِيَدِهِ مِيزَاناً مَغْشُوشاً لأَنَّهُ يُحِبُّ الظُّلْمَ. | ٧ 7 |
A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand. He loves to defraud.
| وَيَقُولُ: «قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ غَنِيًّا، وَضَمِنْتُ لِنَفْسِي ثَرْوَةً، وَلا يُمْكِنُ لأَحَدٍ إِنْ يَجِدَ فِي كُلِّ مَا اكْتَسَبْتُهُ مِنْ غِنىً مَالاً حَرَاماً أَثِيماً». | ٨ 8 |
Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won't find in me any iniquity that is sin."
| وَلَكِنِّي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُنْذُ أَنْ كُنْتَ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ. سَأَجْعَلُكَ تُقِيمُ فِي خِيَامٍ ثَانِيَةً كَمَا كُنْتَ فِي أَيَّامِ أَعْيَادِكَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ. | ٩ 9 |
"But I the LORD your God brought you up from the land of Egypt. I will yet again make you dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
| قَدْ خَاطَبْتُ الأَنْبِيَاءَ، وَأَكْثَرْتُ لَهُمُ الرُّؤَى، وَنَطَقْتُ عَلَى أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
I have also spoken to the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets I have used parables.
| أَفِي جِلْعَادَ إِثْمٌ؟ حَتْماً قَدِ انْتَهَوْا إِلَى بُطْلٍ. إِنْ ذَبَحُوا فِي الْجِلْجَالِ ثِيرَاناً لِوَثَنٍ، فَإِنَّ مَذَابِحَهُمْ تَصِيرُ كَرُكَامِ حِجَارَةٍ فِي حَقْلٍ مَحْرُوثٍ. | ١١ 11 |
If Gilead is wicked, surely they are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls. Indeed, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the field.
| قَدْ لَجَأَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَامَ، حَيْثُ خَدَمَ كَرَاعٍ لِيَحْظَى بِزَوْجَةٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Jacob fled into the country of Aram, and Israel served to get a wife, and for a wife he tended flocks and herds.
| وَبِقِيَادَةِ نَبِيٍّ أَخْرَجَ الرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَبِنَبِيٍّ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
By a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ أَثَارَ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ أَشَدَّ إِثَارَةٍ لِهَذَا فَإِنَّهُ سَيَتْرُكُ لَطَخَاتِ إِثْمِ دَمِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ تَعْيِيرَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger. Therefore his blood will be left on him, and his Lord will repay his contempt.
