1 إِسْرَائِيلُ جَفْنَةٌ مُمْتَدَّةٌ. يُخْرِجُ ثَمَرًا لِنَفْسِهِ. عَلَى حَسَبِ كَثْرَةِ ثَمَرِهِ قَدْ كَثَّرَ الْمَذَابحَ. عَلَى حَسَبِ جُودَةِ أَرْضِهِ أَجَادَ الأَنْصَابَ.  | 1 Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images. |
|
|
| 2 قَدْ قَسَمُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ. اَلآنَ يُعَاقَبُونَ. هُوَ يُحَطِّمُ مَذَابِحَهُمْ، يُخْرِبُ أَنْصَابَهُمْ. | 2 Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images. |
|
| 3 إِنَّهُمُ الآنَ يَقُولُونَ: «لاَ مَلِكَ لَنَا لأَنَّنَا لاَ نَخَافُ الرَّبَّ، فَالْمَلِكُ مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ بِنَا؟». | 3 For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us? |
|
| 4 يَتَكَلَّمُونَ كَلاَمًا بِأَقْسَامٍ بَاطِلَةٍ. يَقْطَعُونَ عَهْدًا فَيَنْبُتُ الْقَضَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَالْعَلْقَمِ فِي أَتْلاَمِ الْحَقْلِ. | 4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springeth up as hemlock in the furrows of the field. |
|
| 5 عَلَى عُجُولِ بَيْتِ آوَنَ يَخَافُ سُكَّانُ السَّامِرَةِ. إِنَّ شَعْبَهُ يَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَهَنَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ يَرْتَعِدُونَ عَلَى مَجْدِهِ، لأَنَّهُ انْتَفَى عَنْهُ. | 5 The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it. |
|
| 6 وَهُوَ أَيْضًا يُجْلَبُ إِلَى أَشُّورَ هَدِيَّةً لِمَلِكٍ عَدُوٍّ. يَأْخُذُ أَفْرَايِمُ خِزْيًا، وَيَخْجَلُ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى رَأْيِهِ. | 6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. |
|
| 7 اَلسَّامِرَةُ مَلِكُهَا يَبِيدُ كَغُثَاءٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمَاءِ، | 7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water. |
|
| 8 وَتُخْرَبُ شَوَامِخُ آوَنَ، خَطِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَطْلُعُ الشَّوْكُ وَالْحَسَكُ عَلَى مَذَابِحِهِمْ، وَيَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ: غَطِّينَا، وَلِلتِّلاَلِ: اسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا. | 8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us. |
|
| 9 «مِنْ أَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ أَخْطَأْتَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. هُنَاكَ وَقَفُوا. لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُمْ فِي جِبْعَةَ الْحَرْبُ عَلَى بَنِي الإِثْمِ. | 9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them. |
|
|
| 10 حِينَمَا أُرِيدُ أُؤَدِّبُهُمْ، وَيَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ شُعُوبٌ فِي ارْتِبَاطِهِمْ بِإِثْمَيْهِمْ. | 10 It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows. |
|
| 11 وَأَفْرَايِمُ عِجْلَةٌ مُتَمَرِّنَةٌ تُحِبُّ الدِّرَاسَ، وَلكِنِّي أَجْتَازُ عَلَى عُنُقِهَا الْحَسَنِ. أُرْكِبُ عَلَى أَفْرَايِمَ. يَفْلَحُ يَهُوذَا. يُمَهِّدُ يَعْقُوبُ. | 11 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loveth to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods. |
|
| 12 «اِزْرَعُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ بِالْبِرِّ. احْصُدُوا بِحَسَبِ الصَّلاَحِ. احْرُثُوا لأَنْفُسِكُمْ حَرْثًا، فَإِنَّهُ وَقْتٌ لِطَلَبِ الرَّبِّ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَيُعَلِّمَكُمُ الْبِرَّ. | 12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousness upon you. |
|
| 13 قَدْ حَرَثْتُمُ النِّفَاقَ، حَصَدْتُمُ الإِثْمَ، أَكَلْتُمْ ثَمَرَ الْكَذِبِ. لأَنَّكَ وَثَقْتَ بِطَرِيقِكَ، بِكَثْرَةِ أَبْطَالِكَ. | 13 Ye have plowed wickedness, ye have reaped iniquity; ye have eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in the multitude of thy mighty men. |
|
| 14 يَقُومُ ضَجِيجٌ فِي شُعُوبِكَ، وَتُخْرَبُ جَمِيعُ حُصُونِكَ كَإِخْرَابِ شَلْمَانَ بَيْتَ أَرَبْئِيلَ فِي يَوْمِ الْحَرْبِ. اَلأُمُّ مَعَ الأَوْلاَدِ حُطِّمَتْ. | 14 Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children. |
|
| 15 هكَذَا تَصْنَعُ بِكُمْ بَيْتُ إِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ رَدَاءَةِ شَرِّكُمْ. فِي الصُّبْحِ يَهْلِكُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَلاَكًا. | 15 So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off. |
