< هُوشَع 13 >
عِنْدَمَا تَكَلَّمَ أَفْرَايِمُ اعْتَرَى الرُّعْبُ الأُمَمَ، وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَكِنْ حِينَ عَبَدَ الْبَعْلَ وَأَثِمَ مَاتَ. | ١ 1 |
Once when Ephraim spake, there was trembling; he was exalted in Israel; But he offended through Baal, and died.
وَهَا هُمْ يُكَثِّرُونَ الآنَ مَعَاصِيَهُمْ، وَيَصُوغُونَ بِبَرَاعَةٍ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ تَمَاثِيلَ وَأَصْنَاماً مِنْ فِضَّتِهِمْ، كُلُّهَا صَنْعَةُ عُمَّالٍ حَاذِقِينَ قَائِلِينَ: «قَبِّلُوا تَمَاثِيلَ الْعُجُولِ هَذِهِ يَا مُقَرِّبِي الذَّبَائِحِ الْبَشَرِيَّةِ». | ٢ 2 |
And now they sin more and more, And have made to themselves molten images; Of their silver by their skill have they made idols; All of it is the work of artificers. They say concerning them, Whoever will sacrifice, let him kiss the calves!
لِهَذَا يَتَلاشَوْنَ كَضَبَابِ الصَّبَاحِ وَكَالنَّدَى الَّذِي يَتَبَخَّرُ سَرِيعاً، أَوْ كَعُصَافَةٍ مُذَرَّاةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْدَرِ، أَوْ دُخَانٍ مُتَسَرِّبٍ مِنَ الْكُوَّةِ. | ٣ 3 |
Therefore shall they be as the morning cloud, And as the early dew, which passeth away; As chaff driven with a whirlwind from the thrashing-floor, And as smoke from the chimney.
أَنَا هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مُنْذُ أَنْ كُنْتَ فِي دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَلَسْتَ تَعْرِفُ إِلَهاً غَيْرِي، وَلا مُنْقِذَ لَكَ سِوَايَ. | ٤ 4 |
Yet I, Jehovah, have been thy God from the land of Egypt, And thou hast known no God but me; Yea, there was no saviour besides me.
أَنَا الَّذِي اعْتَنَيْتُ بِكَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ الْجَرْدَاءِ، فِي أَرْضِ الظَّمَإِ | ٥ 5 |
I cared for thee in the desert, In the land of great drought.
وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا رَعَوْا وَشَبِعُوا خَامَرَتْ قُلُوبَهُمُ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ، لِذَلِكَ نَسُونِي. | ٦ 6 |
As they were fed, so they were filled; They were filled, and their heart was lifted up; Therefore they forgot me.
لِهَذَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ كَأَسَدٍ، وَأَكْمُنُ كَنَمِرٍ لَهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ. | ٧ 7 |
Therefore have I become to them as a lion; As a leopard I watch for them in the way;
وَأَنْقَضُّ عَلَيْهِمْ كَدُبَّةٍ ثَاكِلٍ، وَأُمَزِّقُ قُلُوبَهُمْ أَشْلاءَ وَأَفْتَرِسُهُمْ هُنَاكَ كَلَبُوءَةٍ، وَوَحْشِ الْبَرِّ يُقَطِّعُهُمْ إِرْباً إِرْباً. | ٨ 8 |
I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps, And I will rend the caul of their heart, And there will I devour them as a lioness; The wild beast shall tear them.
هَلاكُكَ مِنْكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ لأَنَّكَ عَادَيْتَنِي. عَادَيْتَ مُعِينَكَ. | ٩ 9 |
It hath been thy destruction, O Israel, That against me, against thy help, thou hast rebelled!
أَيْنَ هُوَ مَلِكُكَ لِيُنْقِذَكَ؟ أَيْنَ هُمْ حُكَّامُكَ الْمُنْتَشِرُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكَ الَّذِينَ قُلْتَ عَنْهُمْ: أَعْطِنِي مَلِكاً وَرُؤَسَاءَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Where is now thy king? Let him save thee in all thy cities! And where thy judges, In regard to whom thou saidst, Give me a king and princes!
قَدْ أَعْطَيْتُكَ مَلِكاً فِي إِبَّانِ غَضَبِي وَأَخَذْتُهُ فِي شِدَّةِ غَيْظِي. | ١١ 11 |
I gave thee a king in mine anger, And I have taken him away in my wrath;
إِثْمُ أَفْرَايِمَ مَحْفُوظٌ فِي صُرَّةٍ، وَخَطِيئَتُهُ مُدَّخَرَةٌ | ١٢ 12 |
the iniquity of Ephraim is treasured up; His guilt is laid up in store.
آلامُ مَخَاضِ امْرَأَةٍ مُشْرِفَةٍ عَلَى الْوِلادَةِ حَلَّتْ بِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ ابْنٌ جَاهِلٌ يَأْبَى أَنْ يَقْتَرِبَ مِنْ فُوَّهَةِ الرَّحِمِ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ وِلادَتِهِ. | ١٣ 13 |
The pangs of a travailing woman shall come upon him; He is an unwise son, For else would he not tarry long in the place of the breaking forth of children.
هَلْ أَفْتَدِيهِمْ مِنْ قُوَّةِ الْهَاوِيَةِ؟ هَلْ أُنَجِّيهِمْ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ؟ أَيْنَ أَوْبِئَتُكَ يَا مَوْتُ؟ أَيْنَ هَلاكُكِ يَا هَاوِيَةُ؟ قَدِ احْتَجَبَتِ الرَّحْمَةُ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ. (Sheol ) | ١٤ 14 |
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death; O death, where is thy plague? O grave, where is thy destruction? Repentance is hidden from mine eyes. (Sheol )
وَحَتَّى وَلَوِ ازْدَهَرَ كَالْعُشْبِ بَيْنَ إِخْوَتِهِ تَهُبُّ رِيحٌ شَرْقِيَّةٌ، رِيحُ الرَّبِّ الْمُقْبِلَةُ مِنَ الصَّحْرَاءِ فَتُجَفِّفُ يَنْبُوعَهُ وَتُنْضِبُ عَيْنَهُ وَتَنْهَبُ مَخَابِئَ كَنْزِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ نَفِيسٍ. | ١٥ 15 |
Though he be fruitful among his brethren, An east wind shall come, A wind of Jehovah shall come up from the desert, And his spring shall become dry, And his fountain shall be dried up, And the treasure of all his pleasant vessels shall be spoiled.
لابُدَّ أَنْ تَتَحَمَّلَ السَّامِرَةُ وِزْرَ خَطِيئَتِهَا لأَنَّهَا تَمَرَّدَتْ عَلَى إِلَهِهَا، فَيَفْنَى أَهْلُهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَيَتَمَزَّقُ أَطْفَالُهَا أَشْلاءَ، وَتُشَقُّ بُطُونُ حَوَامِلِهَا. | ١٦ 16 |
Samaria shall suffer for her guilt, For she hath rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword; Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, And their women with child shall be ripped up.
