Osee 1

1 The word of the Lord which came to Osee the son of Beeri, in the days of Ozias, and Joatham, and Achaz, and Ezekias, kings of Juda, and in the days of Jeroboam son of Joas, king of Israel.

١ هَذِهِ هِيَ كَلِمَةُ الرَّبِّ الَّتِي أَوْحَى بِها إِلَى هُوشَعَ بْنِ بِئِيرِي فِي أَثْنَاءِ حُكْمِ كُلٍّ مِنْ عُزِّيَّا وَيُوثَامَ وَآحَازَ وَحَزَقِيَّا مُلُوكِ يَهُوذَا، وَفِي أَيَّامِ يَرُبْعَامَ بْنِ يُوآشَ مَلِكِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Osee. And the Lord said to Osee, Go, take to thyself a wife of fornication, and children of fornication: for the land will surely go a-whoring in departing from the Lord.

٢ وَأَوَّلُ مَا خَاطَبَ الرَّبُّ بِهِ هُوشَعَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ: «اذْهَبْ وَتَزَوَّجْ مِنْ عَاهِرَةٍ، تُنْجِبُ لَكَ أَبْنَاءَ زِنىً، لأَنَّ الأَرْضَ قَدْ زَنَتْ إِذْ تَرَكَتِ الرَّبَّ».

3 So he went and took Gomer, daughter of Debelaim; and she conceived, and bore him a son.

٣ فَمَضَى هُوشَعُ وَتَزَوَّجَ جُومَرَ بِنْتَ دِبْلايِمَ، فَحَمَلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتْ لَهُ ابْناً.

4 And the Lord said to him, Call his name Jezrael; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezrael on the house of Juda, and will make to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.

٤ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ لَهُ: «ادْعُ اسْمَهُ يَزْرَعِيلَ، لأَنِّي مُوشِكٌ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ عَلَى بَيْتِ يَاهُو انْتِقَاماً لِدَمِ يَزْرَعِيلَ، وَأُبِيدَ مَمْلَكَةَ بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ.

5 And it shall be, in that day, [that] I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezrael.

٥ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أُحَطِّمُ قَوْسَ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَادِي يَزْرَعِيلَ».

6 And she conceived again, and bore a daughter. And he said to him, Call her name, Unpitied: for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, but will surely set myself in array against them.

٦ ثُمَّ حَمَلَتْ ثَانِيَةً فَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْنَةً، فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ: «سَمِّهَا لُورُحَامَةَ (وَمَعْنَاهُ: لَا رَحْمَةَ) لأَنِّي لَا أَعُودُ أَرْحَمُ بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلَنْ أَصْفَحَ عَنْهُمْ.

7 But I will have mercy on the house of Juda, and will save them by the Lord their God, and will not save them with bow, nor with sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen.

٧ وَلَكِنِّي أَرْحَمُ بَيْتَ يَهُوذَا وَأُخَلِّصُهُمْ بِقُوَّتِي أَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُهُمْ. لَنْ أُنْقِذَهُمْ بِقَوْسٍ أَوْ بِسَيْفٍ، وَلا بِحَرْبٍ وَلا بِخَيْلٍ أَوْ فُرْسَانٍ».

8 And she weaned Unpitied; and she conceived again, and bore a son.

٨ وَبَعْدَ أَنْ فَطَمَتْ «لُورُحَامَةَ» حَمَلَتْ وَأَنْجَبَتِ ابْناً.

9 And he said, Call his name, Not my people: for ye are not my people, and I am not your [God].

٩ وَقَالَ الرَّبُّ: «سَمِّهِ لُوعَمِّي (وَمَعْنَاهُ: لَيْسَ شَعْبِي) لأَنَّكُمْ لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي وَأَنَا لَسْتُ إِلَهَكُمْ.

10 Yet the number of the children of Israel was as the sand of the sea, which shall not be measured nor numbered: and it shall come to pass, [that] in the place where it was said to them, Ye are not my people, even they shall be called the sons of the living God.

١٠ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ عَدَدَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَكُونُ كَرَمْلِ الْبَحْرِ الَّذِي لَا يُكَالُ وَلا يُحْصَى. وَفِي الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي قِيلَ لَهُمْ فِيهِ: أَنْتُمْ لَسْتُمْ شَعْبِي، يُقَالُ لَهُمْ: أَنْتُمْ أَبْنَاءُ اللهِ الْحَيِّ.

11 And the children of Juda shall be gathered, and the children of Israel together, and shall appoint themselves one head, and shall come up out of the land: for great [shall be] the day of Jezrael.

١١ وَيَجْتَمِعُ أَبْنَاءُ يَهُوذَا وَأَبْنَاءُ إِسْرَائِيلَ مَعاً وَيَنْصِبُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَائِداً وَاحِداً، وَيَرْجِعُونَ مِنْ أَرْضِ السَّبْيِ، لأَنَّ يَوْمَ يَزْرَعِيلَ عَظِيمٌ».
