Hosea 8
1 'Unto thy mouth — a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.
| ضَعِ الْبُوقَ بَيْنَ شَفَتَيْكَ لِتَنْفُخَ فِيهِ، لأَنَّ نَسْراً يَنْقَضُّ عَلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ، فَإِنَّ الشَّعْبَ قَدْ نَقَضُوا عَهْدِي وَتَعَدَّوْا عَلَى شَرِيعَتِي. | ١ |
2 To Me they cry, 'My God, we — Israel — have known Thee.'
| يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِي قَائِلِينَ: «يَا إِلَهَنَا، إِنَّنَا نَعْرِفُكَ، فَنَحْنُ إِسْرَائِيلَ شَعْبُكَ». | ٢ |
3 Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.
| غَيْرَ أَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ مَقَتَ الْخَيْرَ، لِهَذَا يُطَارِدُهُ عَدُوٌّ. | ٣ |
4 They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.
| قَدْ نَصَبُوا لَهُمْ مُلُوكاً وَلَكِنْ مِنْ غَيْرِ رِضَايَ، وَأَقَامُوا رُؤَسَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ مُوَافَقَتِي، وَصَنَعُوا بِذَهَبِهِمْ وَفِضَّتِهِمْ أَصْنَاماً تَؤُولُ إِلَى هَلاكِهِمْ. | ٤ |
5 Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?
| لَشَدَّ مَا أَزْدَرِي عِجْلَكِ أَيَّتُهَا السَّامِرَةُ، وَهَا غَضَبِي قَدِ احْتَدَمَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِلَى مَتَى يَظَلُّونَ عَاجِزيِنَ عَنِ النَّقَاوَةِ؟ | ٥ |
6 For even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!
| إِنَّهُ صَنْعَةُ عَامِلٍ إِسْرَائِيلِيٍّ وَلَيْسَ إِلَهاً، وَلابُدَّ أَنْ يَصِيرَ عِجْلُ السَّامِرَةِ حُطَاماً. | ٦ |
7 For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none — a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield — strangers do swallow it up.
| إِنَّهُمْ يَزْرَعُونَ الرِّيحَ، وَسَيَحْصُدُونَ الزَّوْبَعَةَ. زَرْعٌ عَقِيمٌ لَا يَصْنَعُ دَقِيقاً، وَإِنْ صَنَعَ يَلْتَهِمُهُ الْغُرَبَاءُ. | ٧ |
8 Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.
| قَدِ ابْتُلِعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ، وَأَصْبَحَ بَيْنَ الشُّعُوبِ كَإِنَاءٍ لَا جَدْوَى مِنْهُ، | ٨ |
9 For they — they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!
| لأَنَّ أَبْنَاءَ إِسْرَائِيلَ لَجَأُوا إِلَى أَشُّورَ كَحِمَارٍ وَحْشِيٍّ مُتَوَحِّدٍ شَرِيدٍ، وَاسْتَأْجَرَ أَفْرَايِمُ مُحِبِّينَ | ٩ |
10 Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.
| وَإِنْ كَانُوا يَسْتَأْجِرُونَ حُلَفَاءَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الأُمَمِ، فَإِنِّي أَجْمَعُهُمُ الآنَ، فَيَتَحَرَّرُونَ إِلَى حِينٍ مِنْ نِيرِ الْمَلِكِ وَالرُّؤَسَاءِ. | ١٠ |
11 Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.
| أَكْثَرَ أَفْرَايِمُ مِنْ تَشْيِيدِ الْمَذَابِحِ لِيُصْعِدَ عَلَيْهَا ذَبَائِحَ الْخَطِيئَةِ، فَأَصْبَحَتْ هَذِهِ مَذَابِحَ لاِرْتِكَابِ الْخَطِيئَةِ. | ١١ |
12 I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.
| قَدْ كَتَبْتُ لَهُمْ بِكَثْرَةٍ شَرِيعَتِي لَكِنَّهُمْ حَسَبُوهَا غَرِيبَةً عَنْهُمْ. | ١٢ |
13 The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They — [to] Egypt they turn back.
| يَذْبَحُونَ الذَّبَائِحَ الْمُقَرَّبَةَ إِلَيَّ لِيَأْكُلُوا لُحُومَهَا، لَا لِيُقَدِّمُوهَا إِلَيَّ. وَلَكِنِّي لَا أُسَرُّ بِها. وَالآنَ أَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ وَأُعَاقِبُهُمْ عَلَى خَطَايَاهُمْ وَإِلَى مِصْرَ يَرْجِعُونَ. | ١٣ |
14 And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!
| لأَنَّ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَدْ نَسِيَ خَالِقَهُ، وَشَيَّدَ قُصُوراً، وَأَكْثَرَ يَهُوذَا مِنْ بِنَاءِ الْمُدُنِ الْمُحَصَّنَةِ، لِهَذَا سَأُرْسِلُ نَاراً عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمُدُنِ فَتَلْتَهِمُ حُصُونَهُ. | ١٤ |
