Hosea 11
1 When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
| عِنْدَمَا كَانَ إِسْرَائِيلُ صَغِيراً أَحْبَبْتُهُ، وَمِنْ مِصْرَ دَعَوْتُ ابْنِي. | ١ |
2 [As] they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to Baalim, and burned incense to graven images.
| لَكِنْ كُلَّمَا دَعَاهُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءُ لِعِبَادَتِي أَعْرَضُوا عَنِّي، ذَابِحِينَ قَرَابِينَ لِلْبَعْلِ، وَمُصْعِدِينَ بَخُوراً لِلأَوْثَانِ. | ٢ |
3 I taught Ephraim also to go, taking them by their arms; but they knew not that I healed them.
| أَنَا الَّذِي دَرَّبْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى الْمَشْيِ، وَحَمَلْتُهُ عَلَى ذِرَاعَيَّ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُدْرِكُوا أَنِّي أَنَا الَّذِي أَبْرَأْتُهُمْ. | ٣ |
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: and I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, and I laid food for them.
| قُدْتُهُمْ بِحِبَالِ اللُّطْفِ الْبَشَرِيَّةِ وَبِرُبُطِ الْمَحَبَّةِ، فَكُنْتُ لَهُمْ كَمَنْ يَرْفَعُ النِّيرَ عَنْ أَعْنَاقِهِمْ وَيَنْحَنِي بِنَفْسِهِ لِيُطْعِمَهُمْ. | ٤ |
5 He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to return.
| وَلَكِنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلُوا إِلَيَّ تَائِبِينَ، لِذَلِكَ لَنْ يَرْجِعُوا إِلَى مِصْرَ بَلْ يُصْبِحُ أَشُّورُ مَلِكاً عَلَيْهِمْ. | ٥ |
6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and shall consume his branches, and devour [them], because of their own counsels.
| يَهْجِمُ السَّيْفُ عَلَى مُدُنِهِمْ، وَيَلْتَهِمُ بَوَّابَاتِهَا، وَيُهْلِكُهُمْ لِمَشُورَاتِهِمِ الْخَاطِئَةِ. | ٦ |
7 And my people are bent to backsliding from me: though they called them to the most High, none at all would exalt [him].
| قَدْ وَطَّدَ شَعْبِي الْعَزْمَ عَلَى الاِرْتِدَادِ عَنِّي، لِهَذَا وَلَوِ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِالْعَلِيِّ، فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَجِدُونَ مَنْ يَرْفَعُ النِّيرَ عَنْهُمْ. | ٧ |
8 How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? [how] shall I deliver thee, Israel? how shall I make thee as Admah? [how] shall I set thee as Zeboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together.
| كَيْفَ أَتَخَلَّى عَنْكَ يَا أَفْرَايِمُ؟ وَكَيْفَ أُسَلِّمُكَ إِلَى الْعَدُوِّ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ؟ كَيْفَ أُعَامِلُكَ كَمَا عَامَلْتُ أَدَمَةَ؟ وَكَيْفَ أُجْرِي عَلَيْكَ مَا أَجْرَيْتُهُ عَلَى صَبُوئِيمَ؟ إِنَّ قَلْبِي يَتَلَوَّى أَسىً فِي دَاخِلِي وَتَضْرَمُ فِيَّ مَرَاحِمِي. | ٨ |
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I [am] God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.
| لَنْ أُنَفِّذَ فِيهِمْ قَضَاءَ احْتِدَامِ غَضَبِي، وَلَنْ أُدَمِّرَ أَفْرَايِمَ ثَانِيَةً، لأَنِّيَ اللهُ لَا إِنْسَانٌ، أَنَا الْقُدُّوسُ الَّذِي فِي وَسَطِكَ لَا أُقْبِلُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِسَخَطٍ. | ٩ |
10 They shall walk after the LORD: he shall roar like a lion: when he shall roar, then the children shall tremble from the west.
| يَسِيرُونَ وَرَائِي أَنَا الرَّبَّ، فَأَزْأَرُ كَالأَسَدِ، وَعِنْدَئِذٍ يُسْرِعُ أَبْنَائِي قَادِمِينَ مِنَ الْغَرْبِ. | ١٠ |
11 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
| وَيُهْرَعُونَ كَالطُّيُورِ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَكَحَمَامٍ مِنْ أَرْضِ أَشُّورَ، وَأَرُدُّهُمْ إِلَى بُيُوتِهِمْ. | ١١ |
12 Ephraim encompasseth me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet ruleth with God, and is faithful with the saints.
| لَقَدْ حَاصَرَنِي أَفْرَايِمُ بِالْكَذِبِ وَبَيْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ بِالنِّفَاقِ، وَمَازَالَ يَهُوذَا شَارِداً عَنِّي أَنَا اللهِ الْقُدُّوسِ الأَمِينِ. | ١٢ |
