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 YHWH has spoken against you, 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 chosen of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all of your sins."
هَلْ يَسِيرُ ٱثْنَانِ مَعًا إِنْ لَمْ يَتَوَاعَدَا؟ ٣ 3
Do two walk together, unless 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 thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?
هَلْ يَسْقُطُ عُصْفُورٌ فِي فَخِّ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ شَرَكٌ؟ هَلْ يُرْفَعُ فَخٌّ عَنِ ٱلْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ لَمْ يُمْسِكْ شَيْئًا؟ ٥ 5
Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?
أَمْ يُضْرَبُ بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَٱلشَّعْبُ لَا يَرْتَعِدُ؟ هَلْ تَحْدُثُ بَلِيَّةٌ فِي مَدِينَةٍ وَٱلرَّبُّ لَمْ يَصْنَعْهَا؟ ٦ 6
Does the trumpet alarm sound in a city, without the people being afraid? Does disaster happen to a city, unless YHWH has done it?
إِنَّ ٱلسَّيِّدَ ٱلرَّبَّ لَا يَصْنَعُ أَمْرًا إِلَّا وَهُوَ يُعْلِنُ سِرَّهُ لِعَبِيدِهِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. ٧ 7
Surely YHWH will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.
ٱلْأَسَدُ قَدْ زَمْجَرَ، فَمَنْ لَا يَخَافُ؟ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ قَدْ تَكَلَّمَ، فَمَنْ لَا يَتَنَبَّأُ؟ ٨ 8
The lion has roared. Who will not fear? YHWH has 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 in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountain of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them."
فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ أَنْ يَصْنَعُوا ٱلِٱسْتِقَامَةَ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ. أُولَئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ يَخْزِنُونَ ٱلظُّلْمَ وَٱلِٱغْتِصَابَ فِي قُصُورِهِمْ. ١٠ 10
"Indeed they do not know to do right," says YHWH, "Who hoard plunder and loot in their palaces."
لِذَلِكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ ٱلسَّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ: ضِيقٌ حَتَّى فِي كُلِّ نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، فَيُنْزِلَ عَنْكِ عِزَّكِ وَتُنْهَبُ قُصُورُكِ». ١١ 11
Therefore thus says YHWH: "An adversary will surround the land; and he will pull down your strongholds, and your fortresses will be plundered."
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 says YHWH: "As the shepherd rescues out of the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the children of Israel be rescued who sit in Samaria on the corner of a couch, and on the silken cushions of a bed."
اِسْمَعُوا وَٱشْهَدُوا علَى بَيتِ يَعْقُوبَ، يَقُولُ ٱلسّيِّدُ ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ. ١٣ 13
"Listen, and testify against the house of Jacob," says YHWH, 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 visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel; and the horns of the altar will be cut off, and fall to the ground.
وَأَضْرِبُ بَيْتَ ٱلشِّتَاءِ مَعَ بَيْتِ ٱلصَّيْفِ، فَتَبِيدُ بُيُوتُ ٱلْعَاجِ، وَتَضْمَحِلُّ ٱلْبُيُوتُ ٱلْعَظِيمَةُ، يَقُولُ ٱلرَّبُّ». ١٥ 15
I will strike the winter house with the summer house; and the houses of ivory will perish, and the great houses will have an end," says YHWH.
