Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as [other] people: for thou hast apostatized from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every corn-floor.
| لَا تَفْرَحْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ طَرَبًا كَٱلشُّعُوبِ، لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ زَنَيْتَ عَنْ إِلَهِكَ. أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلْأُجْرَةَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ بَيَادِرِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ. | ١ |
2 The floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.
| لَا يُطْعِمُهُمُ ٱلْبَيْدَرُ وَٱلْمِعْصَرَةُ، وَيَكْذِبُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمِسْطَارُ. | ٢ |
3 They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean [things] in Assyria.
| لَا يَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلْ يَرْجِعُ أَفْرَايِمُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلنَّجِسَ فِي أَشُّورَ. | ٣ |
4 They shall not offer wine -[offerings] to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing to him: their sacrifices [shall be] to them as the bread of mourners; all that eat of it shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.
| لَا يَسْكُبُونَ لِلرَّبِّ خَمْرًا وَلَا تَسُرُّهُ ذَبَائِحُهُمْ. إِنَّهَا لَهُمْ كَخُبْزِ ٱلْحُزْنِ. كُلُّ مَنْ أَكَلَهُ يَتَنَجَّسُ. إِنَّ خُبْزَهُمْ لِنَفْسِهِمْ. لَا يَدْخُلُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. | ٤ |
5 What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?
| مَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْسِمِ، وَفِي يَوْمِ عِيدِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ | ٥ |
6 For lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant [places] for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns [shall be] in their tabernacles.
| إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَرَابِ. تَجْمَعُهُمْ مِصْرُ. تَدْفِنُهُمْ مُوفُ. يَرِثُ ٱلْقَرِيصُ نَفَائِسَ فِضَّتِهِمْ. يَكُونُ ٱلْعَوْسَجُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ. | ٦ |
7 The days of visitation are come, the days of recompense are come; Israel shall know [it]: the prophet [is] a fool, the spiritual man [is] mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the great hatred.
| جَاءَتْ أَيَّامُ ٱلْعِقَابِ. جَاءَتْ أَيَّامُ ٱلْجَزَاءِ. سَيَعْرِفُ إِسْرَائِيلُ. اَلنَّبِيُّ أَحْمَقُ. إِنْسَانُ ٱلرُّوحِ مَجْنُونٌ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ إِثْمِكَ وَكَثْرَةِ ٱلْحِقْدِ. | ٧ |
8 The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God: [but] the prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.
| أَفْرَايِمُ مُنْتَظَرٌ عِنْدَ إِلَهِي. اَلنَّبِيُّ فَخُّ صَيَّادٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ. حِقْدٌ فِي بَيْتِ إِلَهِهِ. | ٨ |
9 They have deeply corrupted [themselves], as in the days of Gibeah: [therefore] he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
| قَدْ تَوَغَّلُوا، فَسَدُوا كَأَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ. سَيَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ. سَيُعَاقِبُ خَطَايَاهُمْ. | ٩ |
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig-tree at her first time: [but] they went to Baal-peor, and separated themselves to [that] shame; and [their] abominations were according as they loved.
| «وَجَدْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَعِنَبٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. رَأَيْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ كَبَاكُورَةٍ عَلَى تِينَةٍ فِي أَوَّلِهَا. أَمَّا هُمْ فَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَنَذَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِلْخِزْيِ، وَصَارُوا رِجْسًا كَمَا أَحَبُّوا. | ١٠ |
11 [As for] Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
| أَفْرَايِمُ تَطِيرُ كَرَامَتُهُمْ كَطَائِرٍ مِنَ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ وَمِنَ ٱلْحَبَلِ. | ١١ |
12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that there shall] not [be] a man [left]: yes, woe also to them when I depart from them!
| وَإِنْ رَبَّوْا أَوْلَادَهُمْ أُثْكِلُهُمْ إِيَّاهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ إِنْسَانٌ. وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَتَى ٱنْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُمْ! | ١٢ |
13 Ephraim, as I saw Tyre, [is] planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.
| أَفْرَايِمُ كَمَا أَرَى كَصُورٍ مَغْرُوسٍ فِي مَرْعًى، وَلَكِنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ سَيُخْرِجُ بَنِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْقَاتِلِ». | ١٣ |
14 Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
| أَعْطِهِمْ يَارَبُّ. مَاذَا تُعْطِي؟ أَعْطِهِمْ رَحِمًا مُسْقِطًا وَثَدْيَيْنِ يَبِسَيْنِ. | ١٤ |
15 All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes [are] revolters.
| «كُلُّ شَرِّهِمْ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. إِنِّي هُنَاكَ أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ سُوءِ أَفْعَالِهِمْ أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِي. لَا أَعُودُ أُحِبُّهُمْ. جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ. | ١٥ |
16 Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yes, though they bring forth, yet will I slay [even] the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
| أَفْرَايِمُ مَضْرُوبٌ. أَصْلُهُمْ قَدْ جَفَّ. لَا يَصْنَعُونَ ثَمَرًا. وَإِنْ وَلَدُوا أُمِيتُ مُشْتَهَيَاتِ بُطُونِهِمْ». | ١٦ |
17 My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
| يَرْفُضُهُمْ إِلَهِي لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ، فَيَكُونُونَ تَائِهِينَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. | ١٧ |
