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 the wind and follows after the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and violence. They make a covenant with Assyria and carry olive oil to Egypt.
| لِلرَّبِّ دَعْوَى عَلَى يَهُوذَا، وَسَيُعَاقِبُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمُقْتَضَى طُرُقِهِ وَيُجَازِيهِ بِمُوجِبِ أَعْمَالِهِ. | ٢ 2 |
Yahweh also has a lawsuit against Judah and will punish Jacob for what he has done; he will repay him for his deeds.
| فَقَبَضَ يَعْقُوبُ وَهُوَ مَا بَرِحَ فِي الرَّحِمِ عَلَى عَقِبِ أَخِيهِ، وَفِي رُجُولَتِهِ جَاهَدَ مَعَ اللهِ. | ٣ 3 |
In the womb Jacob grasped his brother by the heel, and in his manhood he struggled with God.
| تَصَارَعَ مَعَ الْمَلاكِ وَغَلَبَ. بَكَى وَالْتَمَسَ رِضَاهُ وَبَرَكَتَهُ، الْتَقَاهُ اللهُ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ فَخَاطَبَهُ هُنَاكَ. | ٤ 4 |
He struggled with the angel and won. He wept and begged for his favor. He met God at Bethel; there God spoke with him.
| هُوَ اللهُ الْقَدِيرُ وَيَهْوَهُ اسْمُهُ. | ٥ 5 |
This is Yahweh, the God of hosts; “Yahweh” is his name to be called on.
| أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَارْجِعُوا إِلَى إِلَهِكُمْ تَائِبِينَ. تَمَسَّكُوا بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَعَدْلِهِ، وَدَاوِمُوا عَلَى الِاتِّكَالِ عَلَيْهِ. | ٦ 6 |
So turn to your God. Keep covenantal faithfulness and justice, and wait continually for your God.
| إِنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ مِثْلُ التَّاجِرِ الْكَنْعَانِيِّ يَحْمِلُ بِيَدِهِ مِيزَاناً مَغْشُوشاً لأَنَّهُ يُحِبُّ الظُّلْمَ. | ٧ 7 |
The merchants have false scales in their hands; they love 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, “I have certainly become very rich; I have found wealth for myself. In all my work they will not find any iniquity in me, anything that would be 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 |
“I am Yahweh your God from the land of Egypt. I will again make you live in tents, as in the days of the appointed festival.
| قَدْ خَاطَبْتُ الأَنْبِيَاءَ، وَأَكْثَرْتُ لَهُمُ الرُّؤَى، وَنَطَقْتُ عَلَى أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ بِأَمْثَالٍ. | ١٠ 10 |
I spoke to the prophets, and I gave them many visions for you. By the hand of the prophets I gave 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 there is wickedness in Gilead, surely the people are worthless. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls; their altars will be like heaps of stone in the furrows of the fields.
| قَدْ لَجَأَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى أَرْضِ أَرَامَ، حَيْثُ خَدَمَ كَرَاعٍ لِيَحْظَى بِزَوْجَةٍ. | ١٢ 12 |
Jacob fled to the land of Aram; Israel worked in order to get a wife; and he kept flocks of sheep to get a wife.
| وَبِقِيَادَةِ نَبِيٍّ أَخْرَجَ الرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَبِنَبِيٍّ حَافَظَ عَلَيْهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet, and by a prophet he took care of them.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ أَثَارَ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ أَشَدَّ إِثَارَةٍ لِهَذَا فَإِنَّهُ سَيَتْرُكُ لَطَخَاتِ إِثْمِ دَمِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَيَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ تَعْيِيرَهُ. | ١٤ 14 |
Ephraim has bitterly angered Yahweh. So his Lord will leave his blood on him and will turn back on him his disgrace.
