Hosea 8
1 Set the horn to thy mouth. As a vulture he cometh against the house of the LORD; because they have transgressed My covenant, and trespassed against My law.
| ضَعِ الْبُوقَ بَيْنَ شَفَتَيْكَ لِتَنْفُخَ فِيهِ، لأَنَّ نَسْراً يَنْقَضُّ عَلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فَإِنَّ الشَّعْبَ قَدْ نَقَضُوا عَهْدِي وَتَعَدَّوْا عَلَى شَرِيعَتِي. | ١ |
2 Will they cry unto Me: 'My God, we Israel know Thee'?
| يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِي قَائِلِينَ: «يَا إِلَهَنَا، إِنَّنَا نَعْرِفُكَ، فَنَحْنُ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبُكَ». | ٢ |
3 Israel hath cast off that which is good; the enemy shall pursue him.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ مَقَتَ الْخَيْرَ، لِهَذَا يُطَارِدُهُ عَدُوٌّ. | ٣ |
4 They have set up kings, but not from Me, they have made princes, and I knew it not; of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off.
| قَدْ نَصَبُوا لَهُمْ مُلُوكاً وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ رِضَايَ، وَأَقَامُوا رُؤَسَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مُوَافَقَتِي، وَصَنَعُوا بِذَهَبِهِمْ وَفِضَّتِهِمْ أَصْنَاماً تَؤُولُ إِلَى هَلاكِهِمْ. | ٤ |
5 Thy calf, O Samaria, is cast off; Mine anger is kindled against them; how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?
| لَشَدَّ مَا أَزْدَرِي عِجْلَكِ أَيَّتُهَا السَّامِرَةُ، وَهَا غَضَبِي قَدِ احْتَدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِلَى مَتَى يَظَلُّونَ عَاجِزيِنَ عَنِ النَّقَاوَةِ؟ | ٥ |
6 For from Israel is even this: the craftsman made it, and it is no God; yea, the calf of Samaria shall be broken in shivers.
| إِنَّهُ صَنْعَةُ عَامِلٍ إِسْرَائِيلِيٍّ وَلَيْسَ إِلَهاً، وَلابُدَّ أَنْ يَصِيرَ عِجْلُ السَّامِرَةِ حُطَاماً. | ٦ |
7 For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind; it hath no stalk, the bud that shall yield no meal; if so be it yield, strangers shall swallow it up.
| إِنَّهُمْ يَزْرَعُونَ الرِّيحَ، وَسَيَحْصُدُونَ الزَّوْبَعَةَ. زَرْعٌ عَقِيمٌ لَا يَصْنَعُ دَقِيقاً، وَإِنْ صَنَعَ يَلْتَهِمُهُ الْغُرَبَاءُ. | ٧ |
8 Israel is swallowed up; now are they become among the nations as a vessel wherein is no value.
| قَدِ ابْتُلِعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَأَصْبَحَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ كَإِنَاءٍ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ، | ٨ |
9 For they are gone up to Assyria, like a wild ass alone by himself; Ephraim hath hired lovers.
| لأَنَّ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَجَأُوا إِلَى أَشُّورَ كَحِمَارٍ وَحْشِيٍّ مُتَوَحِّدٍ شَرِيدٍ، وَاسْتَأْجَرَ أَفْرَايِمُ مُحِبِّينَ | ٩ |
10 Yea, though they hire among the nations, now will I gather them up; and they begin to be minished by reason of the burden of king and princes.
| وَإِنْ كَانُوا يَسْتَأْجِرُونَ حُلَفَاءَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ، فَإِنِّي أَجْمَعُهُمُ الآنَ، فَيَتَحَرَّرُونَ إِلَى حِينٍ مِنْ نِيرِ الْمَلِكِ وَالرُّؤَسَاءِ. | ١٠ |
11 For Ephraim hath multiplied altars to sin, yea, altars have been unto him to sin.
| أَكْثَرَ أَفْرَايِمُ مِنْ تَشْيِيدِ الْمَذَابِحِ لِيُصْعِدَ عَلَيْهَا ذَبَائِحَ الْخَطِيئَةِ، فَأَصْبَحَتْ هَذِهِ مَذَابِحَ لاِرْتِكَابِ الْخَطِيئَةِ. | ١١ |
12 Though I write for him never so many things of My Law, they are accounted as a stranger's.
| قَدْ كَتَبْتُ لَهُمْ بِكَثْرَةٍ شَرِيعَتِي لَكِنَّهُمْ حَسَبُوهَا غَرِيبَةً عَنْهُمْ. | ١٢ |
13 As for the sacrifices that are made by fire unto Me, let them sacrifice flesh and eat it, for the LORD accepteth them not. Now will He remember their iniquity, and punish their sins; they shall return to Egypt.
| يَذْبَحُونَ الذَّبَائِحَ الْمُقَرَّبَةَ إِلَيَّ لِيَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَهَا، لَا لِيُقَدِّمُوهَا إِلَيَّ. وَلَكِنِّي لَا أُسَرُّ بِها. وَالآنَ أَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ وَأُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى خَطَايَاهُمْ وَإِلَى مِصْرَ يَرْجِعُونَ. | ١٣ |
14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and builded palaces, and Judah hath multiplied fortified cities; but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the castles thereof.
| لأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ نَسِيَ خَالِقَهُ، وَشَيَّدَ قُصُوراً، وَأَكْثَرَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ بِنَاءِ الْمُدُنِ الْمُحَصَّنَةِ، لِهَذَا سَأُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمُدُنِ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَهُ. | ١٤ |
