< Hosea 14 >

1 O Israel, return to Jehovah thy God, for thou have fallen by thine iniquity.
اِرْجِعْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكَ، لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ تَعَثَّرْتَ بِإِثْمِكَ.١
2 Take with you words, and return to Jehovah. Say to him, Take away all iniquity, and accept that which is good. So we will render as bullocks the offering of our lips.
خُذُوا مَعَكُمْ كَلَامًا وَٱرْجِعُوا إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ. قُولُوا لَهُ: «ٱرْفَعْ كُلَّ إِثْمٍ وَٱقْبَلْ حَسَنًا، فَنُقَدِّمَ عُجُولَ شِفَاهِنَا.٢
3 Assyria shall not save us. We will not ride upon horses, nor will we say any more to the work of our hands, Our gods. For in thee the fatherless finds mercy.
لَا يُخَلِّصُنَا أَشُّورُ. لَا نَرْكَبُ عَلَى ٱلْخَيْلِ، وَلَا نَقُولُ أَيْضًا لِعَمَلِ أَيْدِينَا: آلِهَتَنَا. إِنَّهُ بِكَ يُرْحَمُ ٱلْيَتِيمُ».٣
4 I will heal their backsliding. I will love them freely. For my anger is turned away from him.
«أَنَا أَشْفِي ٱرْتِدَادَهُمْ. أُحِبُّهُمْ فَضْلًا، لِأَنَّ غَضَبِي قَدِ ٱرْتَدَّ عَنْهُ.٤
5 I will be as the dew to Israel. He shall blossom as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon.
أَكُونُ لِإِسْرَائِيلَ كَٱلنَّدَى. يُزْهِرُ كَٱلسَّوْسَنِ، وَيَضْرِبُ أُصُولَهُ كَلُبْنَانَ.٥
6 His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.
تَمْتَدُّ خَرَاعِيبُهُ، وَيَكُونُ بَهَاؤُهُ كَٱلزَّيْتُونَةِ، وَلَهُ رَائِحَةٌ كَلُبْنَانَ.٦
7 Those who dwell under his shadow shall return. They shall revive as the grain, and blossom as the vine. The scent of it shall be as the wine of Lebanon.
يَعُودُ ٱلسَّاكِنُونَ فِي ظِلِّهِ يُحْيُونَ حِنْطَةً وَيُزْهِرُونَ كَجَفْنَةٍ. يَكُونُ ذِكْرُهُمْ كَخَمْرِ لُبْنَانَ.٧
8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have answered, and will regard him. I am like a green fir tree. From me thy fruit is found.
يَقُولُ أَفْرَايِمُ: مَا لِي أَيْضًا وَلِلْأَصْنَامِ؟ أَنَا قَدْ أَجَبْتُ فَأُلَاحِظُهُ. أَنَا كَسَرْوَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ. مِنْ قِبَلِي يُوجَدُ ثَمَرُكِ».٨
9 Who is wise, that he may understand these things, prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the just shall walk in them. But transgressors shall fall therein.
مَنْ هُوَ حَكِيمٌ حَتَّى يَفْهَمَ هَذِهِ ٱلْأُمُورَ، وَفَهِيمٌ حَتَّى يَعْرِفَهَا! فَإِنَّ طُرُقَ ٱلرَّبِّ مُسْتَقِيمَةٌ، وَٱلْأَبْرَارَ يَسْلُكُونَ فِيهَا، وَأَمَّا ٱلْمُنَافِقُونَ فَيَعْثُرُونَ فِيهَا.٩
