Hosea 6
1 Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
| «تَعَالَوْا نَرْجِعْ إِلَى الرَّبِّ. هُوَ الَّذِي مَزَّقَنَا إِرْباً إِرْباً، وَهُوَ وَحْدَهُ يُبْرِئُنَا. هُوَ الَّذِي ضَرَبَنَا، وَهُوَ وَحْدَهُ الَّذِي يَجْبُرُنَا. | ١ |
2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
| بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ يُحْيِينَا، وَفِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ يُقِيمُنَا، لِنَحْيَا أَمَامَهُ. | ٢ |
3 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain to the earth.
| لِنَعْرِفْ، بَلْ لِنَجِدَّ حَتَّى نَعْرِفَ الرَّبَّ، فَمَجِيئُهُ يَقِينٌ كَالْفَجْرِ، يُقْبِلُ إِلَيْنَا كَإِقْبَالِ الْمَطَرِ وَكَغُيُوثِ الرَّبِيعِ الَّتِي تَرْوِي الأَرْضَ». | ٣ |
4 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness [is] as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.
| مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَأَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَفْعَلُهُ بِكَ يَا يَهُوذَا؟ إِنَّ حُبَّكُمْ يَتَلاشَى كَسَحَابَةِ الصُّبْحِ وَيَتَبَخَّرُ كَالنَّدَى. | ٤ |
5 Therefore have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments [are as] the light [that] goeth forth.
| لِذَلِكَ مَزَّقْتُكُمْ بِإِنْذَارَاتِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، وَقَضَيْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَحْكَامِي، فَقَضَائِي عَلَيْكُمْ يَشِعُّ كَالنُّورِ. | ٥ |
6 For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.
| إِنِّي أَطْلُبُ رَحْمَةً لَا ذَبِيحَةً، وَمَعْرِفَتِي أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْمُحْرَقَاتِ. | ٦ |
7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.
| وَلَكِنَّكُمْ مِثْلُ آدَمَ، نَقَضْتُمْ عَهْدِي وَغَدَرْتُمْ بِي. | ٧ |
8 Gilead [is] a city of them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with blood.
| جِلْعَادُ، مَدِينَةُ فَاعِلِي الشَّرِّ، دَاسَتْ عَلَيْهَا أَقْدَامٌ مُلَطَّخَةٌ بِالدَّمِ. | ٨ |
9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.
| وَكَمَا يَكْمِنُ اللُّصُوصُ، كَمَنَ الْكَهَنَةُ عَلَى طَرِيقِ شَكِيمَ لِيَرْتَكِبُوا جَرَائِمَ الْقَتْلِ. حَقّاً إِنَّهُمْ يَقْتَرِفُونَ الْفَوَاحِشَ. | ٩ |
10 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the prostitution of Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
| لَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ فِي وَسَطِ شَعْبِ إِسْرَائِيلَ فَظَائِعَ، فَقَدْ زَنَى هُنَاكَ أَفْرَايِمُ وَتَنَجَّسَ إِسْرَائِيلُ. | ١٠ |
11 Also, O Judah, he hath set a harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
| أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا يَهُوذَا فَقَدْ تَحَدَّدَ مَوْعِدُ عِقَابِكَ عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِي. | ١١ |
