هُوشَع 7
| حِينَ كُنْتُ أَشْفِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، تَكَشَّفَتْ خَطِيئَةُ أَفْرَايِمَ، وَاسْتُعْلِنَتْ آثَامُ السَّامِرَةِ، فَقَدْ مَارَسُوا النِّفَاقَ وَاقْتَحَمَ اللُّصُوصُ الْبُيُوتَ، وَسَلَبَ قُطَّاعُ الطُّرُقِ فِي الْخَارِجِ. | ١ 1 |
When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
| وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَا يُدْرِكُونَ أَنِّي أَتَذَكَّرُ سُوءَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ. هَا هِيَ أَعْمَالُهُمْ تُحِيطُ بِهِمْ، وَهِيَ دَائِماً مَاثِلَةٌ أَمَامِي. | ٢ 2 |
They do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
| بِشَرِّهِمْ يُبْهِجُونَ الْمَلِكَ، وَبِخِيَانَتِهِمِ الرُّؤَسَاءَ. | ٣ 3 |
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
| كُلُّهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ مُلْتَهِبُونَ مِثْلَ فُرْنٍ مُتَّقِدٍ يَكُفُّ الْخَبَّازُ عَنْ إِشْعَالِهِ مَا بَيْنَ عَجْنِ الدَّقِيقِ إِلَى أَوَانِ اخْتِمَارِهِ. | ٤ 4 |
They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
| فِي يَوْمِ احْتِفَالِ مَلِكِنَا انْتَشَى الرُّؤَسَاءُ مِنْ سَوْرَةِ الْخَمْرِ، وَانْضَمَّ هُوَ إِلَى الْمُتَبَذِّلِينَ. | ٥ 5 |
On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
| فَقُلُوبُهُمْ تَشْتَعِلُ بِالْمَكَائِدِ كَالأَتُونِ. يَخْمُدُ غَضَبُهُمْ فِي اللَّيْلِ، وَيَتَوَهَّجُ كَنَارٍ مُلْتَهِبَةٍ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ. | ٦ 6 |
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
| كُلُّهُمْ مُتَأَجِّجُونَ كَأَتُونٍ مُشْتَعِلٍ. يَفْتَرِسُونَ حُكَّامَهُمْ. هَلَكَ جَميِعُ مُلُوكِهِمْ، وَلَمْ يُوْجَدْ بَيْنَهُمْ مَنْ يَطْلُبُنِي. | ٧ 7 |
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
| قَدِ اخْتَلَطَ أَفْرَايِمُ بِالشُّعُوبِ، صَارَ كَرَغِيفٍ لَمْ يَنْضُجْ لأَنَّهُ لَمْ يُقْلَبْ. | ٨ 8 |
Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
| اسْتَنْزَفَ الْغُرَبَاءُ قُوَّتَهُ وَهُوَ لَا يَدْرِي، وَخَطَّ الشَّيْبُ شَعْرَ رَأْسِهِ وَهُوَ لَا يَعْلَمُ. | ٩ 9 |
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn't realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn't realize it.
| يَشْهَدُ غُرُورُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ إِلَهِهِ، وَلا الْتَمَسَهُ. | ١٠ 10 |
The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven't returned to the LORD their God, nor sought him, for all this.
| إِنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ مِثْلُ حَمَامَةٍ غَبِيَّةٍ حَمْقَاءَ، تَسْتَنْجِدُ بِمِصْرَ تَارَةً وَتَسْتَغِيثُ بِأَشُّورَ تَارَةً أُخْرَى. | ١١ 11 |
"Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
| إِذَا ذَهَبُوا أَبْسُطُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَبَكَتِي وَأَطْرَحُهُمْ كَطُيُورِ السَّمَاءِ، وَأُعَاقِبُهُمْ بِمُقْتَضَى شُرُورِهِمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
| وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ شَرَدُوا عَنِّي! تَبّاً لَهُمْ لأَنَّهُمْ تَمَرَّدُوا عَلَيَّ! لَشَدَّ مَا أَتُوقُ لاِفْتِدَائِهِمْ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ نَطَقُوا عَلَيَّ كَذِباً. | ١٣ 13 |
Woe to them. For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them. For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
| لَمْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا بِي مِنْ كُلِّ قُلُوبِهِمْ، بَلْ وَلْوَلُوا فِي مَضَاجِعِهِمْ، وَتَجَمَّعُوا حَوْلَ أَصْنَامِهِمْ يَطْلُبُونَ قَمْحاً وَخَمْراً، وَارْتَدُّوا عَنِّي. | ١٤ 14 |
They haven't cried to me with their heart, but they wail on their beds. They cut themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
| دَرَّبْتُهُمْ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ وشَدَّدْتُهُمْ، وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ ارْتَكَبُوا الشَّرَّ ضِدِّي. | ١٥ 15 |
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
| لَا يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيَّ، فَهُمْ كَقَوْسٍ مُلْتَوِيَةٍ مُخْطِئَةٍ. يَهْلِكُ رُؤَسَاؤُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ لِفَرْطِ سَلاطَةِ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ، وَيُصْبِحُ مَصِيرُهُمْ مَثَارَ سُخْرِيَةِ الْمِصْرِيِّينَ. | ١٦ 16 |
They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
