< هُوشَع 13 >

عِنْدَمَا تَكَلَّمَ أَفْرَايِمُ اعْتَرَى الرُّعْبُ الأُمَمَ، وَعَظُمَ شَأْنُهُ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، وَلَكِنْ حِينَ عَبَدَ الْبَعْلَ وَأَثِمَ مَاتَ. ١ 1
When Ephraim spoke trembling, he exalted himself in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he 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 them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves.
لِهَذَا يَتَلاشَوْنَ كَضَبَابِ الصَّبَاحِ وَكَالنَّدَى الَّذِي يَتَبَخَّرُ سَرِيعاً، أَوْ كَعُصَافَةٍ مُذَرَّاةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْدَرِ، أَوْ دُخَانٍ مُتَسَرِّبٍ مِنَ الْكُوَّةِ. ٣ 3
Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind from the floor, and as the 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 am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no God but me: for there is no saviour besides me.
أَنَا الَّذِي اعْتَنَيْتُ بِكَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ الْجَرْدَاءِ، فِي أَرْضِ الظَّمَإِ ٥ 5
I did know thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
وَلَكِنْ عِنْدَمَا رَعَوْا وَشَبِعُوا خَامَرَتْ قُلُوبَهُمُ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ، لِذَلِكَ نَسُونِي. ٦ 6
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted; therefore have they forgotten me.
لِهَذَا أَكُونُ لَهُمْ كَأَسَدٍ، وَأَكْمُنُ كَنَمِرٍ لَهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ. ٧ 7
Therefore I will be to them as a lion: as a leopard by the way will I observe them:
وَأَنْقَضُّ عَلَيْهِمْ كَدُبَّةٍ ثَاكِلٍ، وَأُمَزِّقُ قُلُوبَهُمْ أَشْلاءَ وَأَفْتَرِسُهُمْ هُنَاكَ كَلَبُوءَةٍ، وَوَحْشِ الْبَرِّ يُقَطِّعُهُمْ إِرْباً إِرْباً. ٨ 8
I will meet them as a bear that is bereaved of her whelps, and will rend the fat of their heart, and there will I devour them like a lion: the wild beast shall tear them.
هَلاكُكَ مِنْكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ لأَنَّكَ عَادَيْتَنِي. عَادَيْتَ مُعِينَكَ. ٩ 9
O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in me is thy help.
أَيْنَ هُوَ مَلِكُكَ لِيُنْقِذَكَ؟ أَيْنَ هُمْ حُكَّامُكَ الْمُنْتَشِرُونَ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكَ الَّذِينَ قُلْتَ عَنْهُمْ: أَعْطِنِي مَلِكاً وَرُؤَسَاءَ؟ ١٠ 10
I will be thy king: where is any other that may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges of 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 my anger, and took him away in my wrath.
إِثْمُ أَفْرَايِمَ مَحْفُوظٌ فِي صُرَّةٍ، وَخَطِيئَتُهُ مُدَّخَرَةٌ ١٢ 12
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid.
آلامُ مَخَاضِ امْرَأَةٍ مُشْرِفَةٍ عَلَى الْوِلادَةِ حَلَّتْ بِهِ، وَلَكِنَّهُ ابْنٌ جَاهِلٌ يَأْبَى أَنْ يَقْتَرِبَ مِنْ فُوَّهَةِ الرَّحِمِ عِنْدَ أَوَانِ وِلادَتِهِ. ١٣ 13
The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay 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 h7585) ١٤ 14
I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy plagues; O grave, I will be thy destruction: repentance shall be hid from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
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 is fruitful among his brethren, an east wind shall come, the wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: he shall plunder the treasure of all pleasant vessels.
لابُدَّ أَنْ تَتَحَمَّلَ السَّامِرَةُ وِزْرَ خَطِيئَتِهَا لأَنَّهَا تَمَرَّدَتْ عَلَى إِلَهِهَا، فَيَفْنَى أَهْلُهَا بِحَدِّ السَّيْفِ، وَيَتَمَزَّقُ أَطْفَالُهَا أَشْلاءَ، وَتُشَقُّ بُطُونُ حَوَامِلِهَا. ١٦ 16
Samaria shall become desolate; 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.
