دعوى الله ضدّ إسرائيل | |
| 1 اِسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَهُ الرَّبُّ: «قُمْ خَاصِمْ لَدَى الْجِبَالِ وَلْتَسْمَعِ التِّلاَلُ صَوْتَكَ. | 1 Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice. |
|
| 2 اِسْمَعِي خُصُومَةَ الرَّبِّ أَيَّتُهَا الْجِبَالُ وَيَا أُسُسَ الأَرْضِ الدَّائِمَةَ. فَإِنَّ لِلرَّبِّ خُصُومَةً مَعَ شَعْبِهِ وَهُوَ يُحَاكِمُ إِسْرَائِيلَ: | 2 Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD's controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel. |
|
| 3 «يَا شَعْبِي، مَاذَا صَنَعْتُ بِكَ وَبِمَاذَا أَضْجَرْتُكَ؟ اشْهَدْ عَلَيَّ! | 3 O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. |
|
| 4 إِنِّي أَصْعَدْتُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَفَكَكْتُكَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَأَرْسَلْتُ أَمَامَكَ مُوسَى وَهارُونَ وَمَرْيَمَ. | 4 For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. |
|
| 5 يَا شَعْبِي اذْكُرْ بِمَاذَا تَآمَرَ بَالاَقُ مَلِكُ مُوآبَ، وَبِمَاذَا أَجَابَهُ بَلْعَامُ بْنُ بَعُورَ، مِنْ شِطِّيمَ إِلَى الْجِلْجَالِ، لِكَيْ تَعْرِفَ إِجَادَةَ الرَّبِّ». | 5 O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD. |
|
| 6 بِمَ أَتَقَدَّمُ إِلَى الرَّبِّ وَأَنْحَنِي لِلإِلهِ الْعَلِيِّ؟ هَلْ أَتَقَدَّمُ بِمُحْرَقَاتٍ، بِعُجُول أَبْنَاءِ سَنَةٍ؟ | 6 Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? |
|
| 7 هَلْ يُسَرُّ الرَّبُّ بِأُلُوفِ الْكِبَاشِ، بِرِبَوَاتِ أَنْهَارِ زَيْتٍ؟ هَلْ أُعْطِي بِكْرِي عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِي، ثَمَرَةَ جَسَدِي عَنْ خَطِيَّةِ نَفْسِي؟ | 7 Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? |
|
| 8 قَدْ أَخْبَرَكَ أَيُّهَا الإِنْسَانُ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ، وَمَاذَا يَطْلُبُهُ مِنْكَ الرَّبُّ، إِلاَّ أَنْ تَصْنَعَ الْحَقَّ وَتُحِبَّ الرَّحْمَةَ، وَتَسْلُكَ مُتَوَاضِعًا مَعَ إِلهِكَ. | 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? |
|
| 9 صَوْتُ الرَّبِّ يُنَادِي لِلْمَدِينَةِ، وَالْحِكْمَةُ تَرَى اسْمَكَ: «اِسْمَعُوا لِلْقَضِيبِ وَمَنْ رَسَمَهُ. | 9 The LORD's voice crieth unto the city, and the man of wisdom shall see thy name: hear ye the rod, and who hath appointed it. |
|
| 10 أَفِي بَيْتِ الشِّرِّيرِ بَعْدُ كُنُوزُ شَرّ وَإِيفَةٌ نَاقِصَةٌ مَلْعُونَةٌ؟ | 10 Are there yet the treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure that is abominable? |
|
| 11 هَلْ أَتَزَكَّى مَعَ مَوَازِينِ الشَّرِّ وَمَعَ كِيسِ مَعَايِيرِ الْغِشِّ؟ | 11 Shall I count them pure with the wicked balances, and with the bag of deceitful weights? |
|
| 12 فَإِنَّ أَغْنِيَاءَهَا مَلآنُونَ ظُلْمًا، وَسُكَّانَهَا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِالْكَذِبِ، وَلِسَانَهُمْ فِي فَمِهِمْ غَاشٌّ. | 12 For the rich men thereof are full of violence, and the inhabitants thereof have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth. |
|
| 13 فَأَنَا قَدْ جَعَلْتُ جُرُوحَكَ عَدِيمَةَ الشِّفَاءِ، مُخْرِبًا مِنْ أَجْلِ خَطَايَاكَ. | 13 Therefore also will I make thee sick in smiting thee, in making thee desolate because of thy sins. |
|
| 14 أَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ وَلاَ تَشْبَعُ، وَجُوعُكَ فِي جَوْفِكَ. وَتُعَزِّلُ وَلاَ تُنَجِّي، وَالَّذِي تُنَجِّيهِ أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَى السَّيْفِ. | 14 Thou shalt eat, but not be satisfied; and thy casting down shall be in the midst of thee; and thou shalt take hold, but shalt not deliver; and that which thou deliverest will I give up to the sword. |
|
| 15 أَنْتَ تَزْرَعُ وَلاَ تَحْصُدُ. أَنْتَ تَدُوسُ زَيْتُونًا وَلاَ تَدَّهِنُ بِزَيْتٍ، وَسُلاَفَةً وَلاَ تَشْرَبُ خَمْرًا. | 15 Thou shalt sow, but thou shalt not reap; thou shalt tread the olives, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oil; and sweet wine, but shalt not drink wine. |
|
| 16 وَتُحْفَظُ فَرَائِضُ «عُمْرِي» وَجَمِيعُ أَعْمَالِ بَيْتِ «أَخْآبَ»، وَتَسْلُكُونَ بِمَشُورَاتِهِمْ، لِكَيْ أُسَلِّمَكَ لِلْخَرَابِ، وَسُكَّانَهَا لِلصَّفِيرِ، فَتَحْمِلُونَ عَارَ شَعْبِي». | 16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and ye walk in their counsels; that I should make thee a desolation, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall bear the reproach of my people. |
