| 1 «إِلَى فَمِكَ بِالْبُوقِ! كَالنَّسْرِ عَلَى بَيْتِ الرَّبِّ. لأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ تَجَاوَزُوا عَهْدِي وَتَعَدَّوْا عَلَى شَرِيعَتِي. | 1 Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law. |
|
|
| 2 إِلَيَّ يَصْرُخُونَ: يَا إِلهِي، نَعْرِفُكَ نَحْنُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. | 2 Israel shall cry unto me, My God, we know thee. |
|
| 3 «قَدْ كَرِهَ إِسْرَائِيلُ الصَّلاَحَ فَيَتْبَعُهُ الْعَدُوُّ. | 3 Israel hath cast off the thing that is good: the enemy shall pursue him. |
|
| 4 هُمْ أَقَامُوا مُلُوكًا وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي. أَقَامُوا رُؤَسَاءَ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْرِفْ. صَنَعُوا لأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ فِضَّتِهِمْ وَذَهَبِهِمْ أَصْنَامًا لِكَيْ يَنْقَرِضُوا. | 4 They have set up kings, but not by me: they have made princes, and I knew it not: of their silver and their gold have they made them idols, that they may be cut off. |
|
5 قَدْ زَنِخَ عِجْلُكِ يَا سَامِرَةُ. حَمِيَ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ. إِلَى مَتَى لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُونَ النَّقَاوَةَ!  | 5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency? |
|
|
| 6 إِنَّهُ هُوَ أَيْضًا مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. صَنَعَهُ الصَّانِعُ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ إِلهًا. إِنَّ عِجْلَ السَّامِرَةِ يَصِيرُ كِسَرًا. | 6 For from Israel was it also: the workman made it; therefore it is not God: but the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. |
|
| 7 «إِنَّهُمْ يَزْرَعُونَ الرِّيحَ وَيَحْصُدُونَ الزَّوْبَعَةَ. زَرْعٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ غَلَّةٌ لاَ يَصْنَعُ دَقِيقًا. وَإِنْ صَنَعَ، فَالْغُرَبَاءُ تَبْتَلِعُهُ. | 7 For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up. |
|
| 8 قَدِ ابْتُلِعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ. الآنَ صَارُوا بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ كَإِنَاءٍ لاَ مَسَرَّةَ فِيهِ. | 8 Israel is swallowed up: now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessel wherein is no pleasure. |
|
| 9 لأَنَّهُمْ صَعِدُوا إِلَى أَشُّورَ مِثْلَ حِمَارٍ وَحْشِيٍّ مُعْتَزِل بِنَفْسِهِ. اسْتَأْجَرَ أَفْرَايِمُ مُحِبِّينَ. | 9 For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers. |
|
| 10 إِنِّي وَإِنْ كَانُوا يَسْتَأْجِرُونَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ، الآنَ أَجْمَعُهُمْ فَيَنْفَكُّونَ قَلِيلاً مِنْ ثِقْلِ مَلِكِ الرُّؤَسَاءِ. | 10 Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now will I gather them, and they shall sorrow a little for the burden of the king of princes. |
|
| 11 «لأَنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ كَثَّرَ مَذَابحَ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ، صَارَتْ لَهُ الْمَذَابحُ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ. | 11 Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sin, altars shall be unto him to sin. |
|
|
| 12 أَكْتُبُ لَهُ كَثْرَةَ شَرَائِعِي، فَهِيَ تُحْسَبُ أَجْنَبِيَّةً. | 12 I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing. |
|
| 13 أَمَّا ذَبَائِحُ تَقْدِمَاتِي فَيَذْبَحُونَ لَحْمًا وَيَأْكُلُونَ. الرَّبُّ لاَ يَرْتَضِيهَا. الآنَ يَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ وَيُعَاقِبُ خَطِيَّتَهُمْ. إِنَّهُمْ إِلَى مِصْرَ يَرْجِعُونَ. | 13 They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of mine offerings, and eat it; but the LORD accepteth them not; now will he remember their iniquity, and visit their sins: they shall return to Egypt. |
|
| 14 وَقَدْ نَسِيَ إِسْرَائِيلُ صَانِعَهُ وَبَنَى قُصُورًا، وَكَثَّرَ يَهُوذَا مُدُنًا حَصِينَةً. لكِنِّي أُرْسِلُ عَلَى مُدُنِهِ نَارًا فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهُ». | 14 For Israel hath forgotten his Maker, and buildeth temples; and Judah hath multiplied fenced cities: but I will send a fire upon his cities, and it shall devour the palaces thereof. |
