اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا ٱلْقَوْلَ ٱلَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ ٱلرَّبُّ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَلَى كُلِّ ٱلْقَبِيلَةِ ٱلَّتِي أَصْعَدْتُهَا مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ قَائِلًا: ١ 1
Hear this word that the LORD hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:
«إِيَّاكُمْ فَقَطْ عَرَفْتُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ قَبَائِلِ ٱلْأَرْضِ، لِذَلِكَ أُعَاقِبُكُمْ عَلَى جَمِيعِ ذُنُوبِكُمْ». ٢ 2
You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
هَلْ يَسِيرُ ٱثْنَانِ مَعًا إِنْ لَمْ يَتَوَاعَدَا؟ ٣ 3
Will two walk together, except they have agreed?
هَلْ يُزَمْجِرُ ٱلْأَسَدُ فِي ٱلْوَعْرِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ فَرِيسَةٌ؟ هَلْ يُعْطِي شِبْلُ ٱلْأَسَدِ زَئِيرَهُ مِنْ خِدْرِهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَخْطَفْ؟ ٤ 4
Will a lion roar in the forest, when he hath no prey? Will a young lion give forth his voice out of his den, if he have taken nothing?
هَلْ يَسْقُطُ عُصْفُورٌ فِي فَخِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ شَرَكٌ؟ هَلْ يُرْفَعُ فَخٌّ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ لَمْ يُمْسِكْ شَيْئًا؟ ٥ 5
Will a bird fall in a snare upon the earth, where there is no lure for it? Will a snare spring up from the ground, and have taken nothing at all?
أَمْ يُضْرَبُ بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَرْتَعِدُ؟ هَلْ تَحْدُثُ بَلِيَّةٌ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَصْنَعْهَا؟ ٦ 6
Shall the horn be blown in a city, and the people not tremble? Shall evil befall a city, and the LORD hath not done it?
إِنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يَصْنَعُ أَمْرًا إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُعْلِنُ سِرَّهُ لِعَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. ٧ 7
For the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His counsel unto His servants the prophets.
ٱلْأَسَدُ قَدْ زَمْجَرَ، فَمَنْ لَا يَخَافُ؟ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ، فَمَنْ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ؟ ٨ 8
The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?
نَادُوا عَلَى ٱلْقُصُورِ فِي أَشْدُودَ، وَعَلَى ٱلْقُصُورِ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَقُولُوا: «ٱجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى جِبَالِ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ وَٱنْظُرُوا شَغْبًا عَظِيمًا فِي وَسَطِهَا وَمَظَالِمَ فِي دَاخِلِهَا. ٩ 9
Proclaim it upon the palaces at Ashdod, and upon the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: 'Assemble yourselves upon the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great confusions therein, and the oppressions in the midst thereof.'
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ يَصْنَعُوا ٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. أُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْزِنُونَ ٱلظُّلْمَ وَٱلِٱغْتِصَابَ فِي قُصُورِهِمْ. ١٠ 10
For they know not to do right, saith the LORD, who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ضِيقٌ حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيُنْزِلَ عَنْكِ عِزَّكِ وَتُنْهَبُ قُصُورُكِ». ١١ 11
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: An adversary, even round about the land! And he shall bring down thy strength from thee, and thy palaces shall be spoiled.
هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلرَّبُّ: «كَمَا يَنْزِعُ ٱلرَّاعِي مِنْ فَمِ ٱلْأَسَدِ كُرَاعَيْنِ أَوْ قِطْعَةَ أُذُنٍ، هَكَذَا يُنْتَزَعُ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ ٱلْجَالِسُونَ في ٱلسَّامِرَةِ في زَاوِيَةِ ٱلسَّرِيرِ وَعَلَى دِمَقْسِ ٱلْفِرَاشِ! ١٢ 12
Thus saith the LORD: As the shepherd rescueth out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel that dwell in Samaria escape with the corner of a couch, and the leg of a bed.
اِسْمَعُوا وَٱشْهَدُوا علَى بَيتِ يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ. ١٣ 13
Hear ye, and testify against the house of Jacob, saith the Lord GOD, the God of hosts.
إِنِّي يَوْمَ مُعَاقَبَتِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى ذُنُوبِهِ أُعَاقِبُ مَذَابِحَ بَيْتِ إِيلَ، فَتُقْطَعُ قُرُونُ ٱلْمَذْبَحِ وَتَسْقُطُ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ. ١٤ 14
For in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also punish the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.
وَأَضْرِبُ بَيْتَ ٱلشِّتَاءِ مَعَ بَيْتِ ٱلصَّيْفِ، فَتَبِيدُ بُيُوتُ ٱلْعَاجِ، وَتَضْمَحِلُّ ٱلْبُيُوتُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٥ 15
And I will smite the winter-house with the summer-house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall have an end, saith the LORD.
