Osee 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, neither make merry, as [other] nations: for you have gone a-whoring from your God; you have loved gifts upon every threshing floor.
| لَا تَبْتَهِجْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ وَلا تَطْرَبْ كَبَقِيَّةِ الشُّعُوبِ، لأَنَّكَ قَدْ خُنْتَ إِلَهَكَ وَهَجَرْتَهُ، وَأَحْبَبْتَ أُجْرَةَ الزِّنَى عَلَى كُلِّ بَيَادِرِ الْحِنْطَةِ. | ١ |
2 The threshing floor and wine-press knew them not, and the wine disappointed them.
| لِهَذَا فَإِنَّ الْبَيْدَرَ وَالْمِعْصَرَةَ لَا يُطْعِمَانِكُمْ وَالْخَمْرَةَ الْجَدِيدَةَ لَا تُلَبِّي حَاجَتَكُمْ. | ٢ |
3 They lived not in the Lord's land: Ephraim lived in Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.
| لَنْ تَظَلُّوا مُقِيمِينَ فِي أَرْضِ الرَّبِّ بَلْ يَرْجِعَ أَفْرَايِمُ إِلَى دِيَارِ مِصْرَ، وَيَأْكُلُوا لَحْماً نَجِساً فِي أَشُّورَ. | ٣ |
4 They have not offered wine to the Lord, neither have their sacrifices been sweet to him, [but] as the bread of mourning to them; all that eat them shall be defiled; for their bread for their soul shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
| لَا تَسْكُبُوا لِلرَّبِّ خَمْراً وَلَنْ تَسُرَّهُ ذَبَائِحُكُمْ، بَلْ تَكُونُ لَكُمْ كَخُبْزِ النَّائِحِينَ. كُلُّ مَنْ يَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ يَتَنَجَّسُ، إِذْ يَكُونُ خُبْزُكُمْ لِسَدِّ جُوعِكُمْ فَقَطْ، وَلا يَدْخُلُ أَبَداً إِلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. | ٤ |
5 What will you do in the day of the general assembly, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
| مَاذَا تَفْعَلُونَ فِي يَوْمِ الاِحْتِفَالِ وَفِي يَوْمِ عِيدِ الرَّبِّ؟ | ٥ |
6 Therefore, behold, they go forth from the trouble of Egypt, and Memphis shall receive them, and Machmas shall bury them: [as for] their silver, destruction shall inherit it; thorns [shall be] in their tents.
| حَتَّى لَوْ سَلِمْتُمْ مِنَ الْخَرَابِ فَإِنَّ مِصْرَ تَجْمَعُكُمْ وَمَنْفَ تُفْنِيكُمْ وَتَدْفِنُكُمْ. يَرِثُ الْقَرِيصُ نَفَائِسَ فِضَّتِكُمْ، وَيَنْمُو الْعَوْسَجُ فِي مَنَازِلِكُمْ. | ٦ |
7 The days of vengeance are come, the days of your recompense are come; and Israel shall be afflicted as the prophet that is mad, as a man deranged: by reason of the multitude of your iniquities your madness has abounded.
| لَقَدْ أَزِفَتْ أَيَّامُ الْعِقَابِ وَحَانَ يَوْمُ الْحِسَابِ، فَلْيَعْلَمْ إِسْرَائِيلُ هَذَا. لِكَثْرَةِ إِثْمِكَ وَفَرْطِ حِقْدِكَ حُسِبَ النَّبِيُّ أَحْمَقَ، وَرَجُلُ الرُّوحِ مَجْنُوناً. | ٧ |
8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with God: the prophet is a crooked snare in all his ways: they have established madness in the house of God.
| إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ هُوَ رَقِيبُ أَفْرَايِمَ شَعْبِ إِلَهِي، غَيْرَ أَنَّ فَخَّ صَيَّادٍ قَدْ نُصِبَ فِي كُلِّ طُرُقِهِ، وَطَغَى الْحِقْدُ عَلَى بَيْتِ إِلَهِي. | ٨ |
9 They have corrupted themselves according to the days of the hill: he will remember their iniquities, he will take vengeance on their sins.
| قَدْ أَوْغَلُوا فِي الْفَسَادِ كَمَا حَدَثَ فِي أَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ، لِهَذَا سَيَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ وَيُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى خَطَايَاهُمْ. | ٩ |
10 I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness, and I saw their fathers as an early watchman in a fig tree: they went in to Beel-phegor, and were shamefully estranged, and the abominable became as the beloved.
| وَجَدْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَعِنَبٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ، وَرَأَيْتُ آبَاءَهُمْ كَبَاكُورَةِ ثَمَرِ شَجَرَةِ التِّينِ فِي أَوَّلِ مَوْسِمِهَا. وَلَكِنَّهُمُ الْتَصَقُوا بِبَعْلِ فَغُورَ وَنَذَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِلصَّنَمِ الْمُخْزِي، فَأَصْبَحُوا رِجْساً نَظِيرَ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي أَحَبُّوهُ. | ١٠ |
11 Ephraim has flown away as a bird; their glories from the birth, and the travail, and the conception.
| إِنَّ مَجْدَ أَفْرَايِمَ يَتَوَارَى كَالطَّائِرِ الْمُحَلِّقِ إِذْ يَمُوتُ أَوْلادُكُمْ فِي أَثْنَاءِ الْوِلادَةِ أَوْ فِي الأَرْحَامِ، أَوْ لَا يُحْبَلُ بِهِمْ أَبَداً. | ١١ |
12 For even if they should rear their children, yet shall they be utterly bereaved: therefore also there is woe to them, [though] my flesh is of them.
| وَحَتَّى إِنْ أَنْجَبُوا أَوْلاداً فَإِنِّي أَحْرِمُكُمْ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ. وَيْلٌ لَكُمْ حِينَ أَنْصَرِفُ عَنْكُمْ. | ١٢ |
13 Ephraim, [even] as I saw, gave their children for a prey; yes, Ephraim [was ready] to bring out his children to slaughter.
| مَصِيرُ أَبْنَاءِ أَفْرَايِمَ، كَمَا أَرَى، هُوَ الوُقُوعُ فِي قَبْضَةِ الصَّيَّادِ، لأَنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ، يَقْتَادُ أَبْنَاءَهُ لِلذَّبْحِ. | ١٣ |
14 Give them, O Lord: what will you give them? a miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
| أَعْطِهِمْ يَا رَبُّ: وَلَكِنْ مَاذَا تُعْطِيهِمْ؟ أَعْطِهِمْ نِسَاءً ذَوَاتِ أَرْحَامٍ مُسْقِطَةٍ، وَأَثْدَاءَ جَافَّةٍ. | ١٤ |
15 All their wickedness is in Galgal: for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their practices, I will cast them out of my house, I will not love them any more: all their princes are disobedient.
| فِي الْجِلْجَالِ ارْتَكَبُوا جَمِيعَ شُرُورِهِمْ، فَكَرِهْتُهُمْ هُنَاكَ. لِسُوءِ أَعْمَالِهِمْ أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِي وَلا أَعُودُ أُحِبُّهُمْ، فَكُلُّ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ. | ١٥ |
16 Ephraim is sick, he is dried up at his roots, he shall in no wise any more bear fruit: therefore even if they should beget [children], I will kill the desired [fruit] of their womb.
| أَفْرَايِمُ مُصَابٌ. قَدْ جَفَّتْ أُصُولُهُمْ فَلَنْ يُثْمِرُوا، وَإِنْ أَنْجَبُوا فَإِنِّي أُهْلِكُ أَبْنَاءَهُمُ الأَعِزَّاءَ. | ١٦ |
17 God shall reject them, because they have not listened to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
| يَنْبِذُهُمْ إِلَهِي لأَنَّهُمْ أَبَوْا الِاسْتِمَاعَ إِلَيْهِ، لِهَذَا يَتَشَرَّدُونَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ. | ١٧ |
