< Osee 10 >

1 Israel is a vine with goodly branches, her fruit is abundant: according to the multitude of her fruits she has multiplied [her] altars; according to the wealth of his land, he has set up pillars.
إِسْرَائِيلُ جَفْنَةٌ مُمْتَدَّةٌ. يُخْرِجُ ثَمَرًا لِنَفْسِهِ. عَلَى حَسَبِ كَثْرَةِ ثَمَرِهِ قَدْ كَثَّرَ ٱلْمَذَابِحَ. عَلَى حَسَبِ جُودَةِ أَرْضِهِ أَجَادَ ٱلْأَنْصَابَ.١
2 They have divided their hearts; now shall they be utterly destroyed: he shall dig down their altars, their pillars shall mourn.
قَدْ قَسَمُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ. اَلْآنَ يُعَاقَبُونَ. هُوَ يُحَطِّمُ مَذَابِحَهُمْ، يُخْرِبُ أَنْصَابَهُمْ.٢
3 Because now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the Lord:
إِنَّهُمُ ٱلْآنَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا مَلِكَ لَنَا لِأَنَّنَا لَا نَخَافُ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَٱلْمَلِكُ مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ بِنَا؟».٣
4 and what should a king do for us, speaking false professions [as his] words? he will make a covenant: judgment shall spring up as a weed on the soil of the field.
يَتَكَلَّمُونَ كَلَامًا بِأَقْسَامٍ بَاطِلَةٍ. يَقْطَعُونَ عَهْدًا فَيَنْبُتُ ٱلْقَضَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَٱلْعَلْقَمِ فِي أَتْلَامِ ٱلْحَقْلِ.٤
5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall dwell near the calf of the house of On; for the people of it mourned for it: and as they provoked him, they shall rejoice at his glory, because he has departed from them.
عَلَى عُجُولِ بَيْتِ آوَنَ يَخَافُ سُكَّانُ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. إِنَّ شَعْبَهُ يَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَهَنَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ يَرْتَعِدُونَ عَلَى مَجْدِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱنْتَفَى عَنْهُ.٥
6 And having bound it for the Assyrians, they carried it away as presents to king Jarim: Ephraim shall receive a gift, and Israel shall be ashamed of his counsel.
وَهُوَ أَيْضًا يُجْلَبُ إِلَى أَشُّورَ هَدِيَّةً لِمَلِكٍ عَدُوٍّ. يَأْخُذُ أَفْرَايِمُ خِزْيًا، وَيَخْجَلُ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى رَأْيِهِ.٦
7 Samaria has cast off her king as a twig on the surface of the water.
اَلسَّامِرَةُ مَلِكُهَا يَبِيدُ كَغُثَاءٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمَاءِ،٧
8 And the altars of On, the sins of Israel, shall be taken away: thorns and thistles shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
وَتُخْرَبُ شَوَامِخُ آوَنَ، خَطِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَطْلُعُ ٱلشَّوْكُ وَٱلْحَسَكُ عَلَى مَذَابِحِهِمْ، وَيَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ: غَطِّينَا، وَلِلتِّلَالِ: ٱسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا.٨
9 From the time the hills [existed] Israel has sinned: there they stood: war [waged] against the children of iniquity
«مِنْ أَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ أَخْطَأْتَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. هُنَاكَ وَقَفُوا. لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُمْ فِي جِبْعَةَ ٱلْحَرْبُ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْإِثْمِ.٩
10 to chastise them shall not overtake them on the hill, the nations shall be gathered against them, when they are chastened for their two sins,
حِينَمَا أُرِيدُ أُؤَدِّبُهُمْ، وَيَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ شُعُوبٌ فِي ٱرْتِبَاطِهِمْ بِإِثْمَيْهِمْ.١٠
11 Ephraim is a heifer taught to love victory, but I will come upon the fairest part of her neck: I will mount Ephraim; I will pass over Juda in silence; Jacob shall prevail against him.
وَأَفْرَايِمُ عِجْلَةٌ مُتَمَرِّنَةٌ تُحِبُّ ٱلدِّرَاسَ، وَلَكِنِّي أَجْتَازُ عَلَى عُنُقِهَا ٱلْحَسَنِ. أُرْكِبُ عَلَى أَفْرَايِمَ. يَفْلَحُ يَهُوذَا. يُمَهِّدُ يَعْقُوبُ.١١
12 Sow to yourselves for righteousness, gather in for the fruit of life: light ye for yourselves the light of knowledge; seek the Lord till the fruits of righteousness come upon you.
«اِزْرَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ بِٱلْبِرِّ. ٱحْصُدُوا بِحَسَبِ ٱلصَّلَاحِ. ٱحْرُثُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ حَرْثًا، فَإِنَّهُ وَقْتٌ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَيُعَلِّمَكُمُ ٱلْبِرَّ.١٢
13 Wherefore have ye passed over ungodliness in silence, and reaped the sins of it? ye have eaten false fruit; for thou has trusted in thy sins, in the abundance of thy power.
قَدْ حَرَثْتُمُ ٱلنِّفَاقَ، حَصَدْتُمُ ٱلْإِثْمَ، أَكَلْتُمْ ثَمَرَ ٱلْكَذِبِ. لِأَنَّكَ وَثَقْتَ بِطَرِيقِكَ، بِكَثْرَةِ أَبْطَالِكَ.١٣
14 Therefore shall destruction rise up among thy people, and all thy strong places shall be ruined: as a prince Solomon [departed] out of the house of Jeroboam, in the days of battle they dashed the mother to the ground upon the children,
يَقُومُ ضَجِيجٌ فِي شُعُوبِكَ، وَتُخْرَبُ جَمِيعُ حُصُونِكَ كَإِخْرَابِ شَلْمَانَ بَيْتَ أَرَبْئِيلَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. اَلْأُمُّ مَعَ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ حُطِّمَتْ.١٤
15 thus will I do to you, O house of Israel, because of the unrighteousness of your sins.
هَكَذَا تَصْنَعُ بِكُمْ بَيْتُ إِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ رَدَاءَةِ شَرِّكُمْ. فِي ٱلصُّبْحِ يَهْلِكُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَلَاكًا.١٥
