Hosea 2
1 [At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
| در آن روز برادران خود را عَمّی یعنی «قوم من» و خواهران خود را روحامه یعنی «محبوبان من» خواهی خواند. |
2 [Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
| مادرت را توبیخ کن، زیرا زن مرد دیگری شده است و من دیگر شوهر او نیستم. از او بخواه تا از فاحشگی دست بردارد و دیگر خودفروشی نکند؛ |
3 If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
| و گرنه او را مثل روزی که از مادر متولد شد عریان خواهم ساخت و مانند زمینی که دچار خشکسالی شده باشد از تشنگی هلاک خواهم کرد. |
4 I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
| از فرزندان او چون فرزندان خودم مراقبت نخواهم کرد، زیرا آنها از آن من نیستند بلکه فرزندان مردان دیگری هستند. |
5 Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
| مادرشان مرتکب زنا شده و با بی‌شرمی گفته است: «دنبال مردانی می‌روم که به من خوراک و پوشاک می‌دهند.» |
6 So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
| ولی من دیواری از خار و خس به دور او می‌کشم و مانعی بر سر راه او می‌گذارم تا راهش را پیدا نکند. |
7 They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are now.’
| به طوری که وقتی دنبال فاسقانش می‌دود نتواند به آنها برسد. دنبال آنها خواهد گشت، ولی پیدایشان نخواهد کرد. آنگاه خواهد گفت: «بهتر است نزد شوهر خود بازگردم، چون وقتی که با او بودم زندگی‌ام بهتر می‌گذشت.» |
8 But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship Baal.
| او نمی‌فهمد که هر چه دارد از من دارد. تمام طلا و نقره‌ای را که او برای پرستش بت خود بعل به کار می‌برد، من به او می‌دادم. |
9 Therefore I will return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
| ولی اکنون دیگر شراب و غله‌ای را که همیشه سر موعد برای او فراهم می‌کردم به او نخواهم داد و لباسهایی که برای پوشش برهنگی‌اش به او می‌دادم از او پس خواهم گرفت. |
10 I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
| قباحت او را در نظر فاسقانش آشکار خواهم ساخت و هیچ‌کس نخواهد توانست او را از دست من خلاصی بخشد. |
11 I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
| به تمام خوشیها و بزمها، عیدها و جشنهایش پایان خواهم داد. |
12 I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
| تاکستانها و باغهای میوه‌ای را که ادعا می‌کند فاسقانش به او هدیه داده‌اند نابود می‌کنم. آنها را به صورت جنگل درمی‌آورم و میوه‌هایش را نصیب حیوانات صحرا می‌گردانم. |
13 I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
| به سبب تمام آن روزهایی که برای بت خودش بعل، بخور می‌سوزانید و گوشواره‌هایش را به گوش می‌کرد و با طلا و جواهرات، خود را می‌آراست و مرا ترک نموده، به دنبال فاسقانش می‌رفت، او را مجازات خواهم کرد. این را خداوند می‌فرماید. |
14 But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
| ولی دوباره دل او را به دست می‌آورم و او را به بیابان خواهم برد و در آنجا با وی سخنانی دلنشین خواهم گفت. |
15 I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
| در آنجا باغهای انگورش را به او پس خواهم داد، و «درهٔ زحمات» او را به «دروازهٔ امید» مبدل خواهم ساخت. او باز در آنجا مانند روزهای جوانی‌اش و مثل زمان قدیم که او را از اسارت مصر آزاد کردم سرود خواهد خواند. |
16 At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
| در آن روز مرا به جای «سرور من»، «شوهر من» خطاب خواهد کرد. |
17 I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
| کاری می‌کنم که بعل را فراموش کند و دیگر اسمش را نیز بر زبان نیاورد. |
18 At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
| در آن زمان، بین شما و حیوانات وحشی و پرندگان و خزندگان عهدی قرار می‌دهم تا دیگر از هم نترسید؛ و تمام سلاحهای جنگی را از بین برده، به جنگها پایان خواهم داد. آنگاه در امنیت خواهید زیست. |
19 I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
| من با زنجیر عدالت و انصاف و محبت و رحمت، شما را برای همیشه به خود پیوند خواهم داد. |
20 I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
| من عهدی را که با شما بسته‌ام بجا خواهم آورد و شما را نامزد خود خواهم ساخت و شما مرا در آن زمان واقعاً خواهید شناخت. |
21 At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
| در آن روز من دعاهای قوم خود اسرائیل را اجابت خواهم کرد. بر زمین باران خواهم فرستاد و زمین نیز غله و انگور و زیتون تولید خواهد کرد، و ایشان یزرعیل را خطاب خواهند کرد. |
22 and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
23 [At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
| در آن زمان قوم اسرائیل را برای خود در زمین خواهم کاشت. به کسانی که گفته بودم «دیگر رحمت بس است»، رحم خواهم نمود و به آنانی که گفته بودم «قوم من نیستید»، خواهم گفت: «اکنون شما قوم من هستید» و ایشان جواب خواهند داد: «تو خدای ما هستی.» |
