إِسْرَائِيلُ جَفْنَةٌ مُمْتَدَّةٌ. يُخْرِجُ ثَمَرًا لِنَفْسِهِ. عَلَى حَسَبِ كَثْرَةِ ثَمَرِهِ قَدْ كَثَّرَ ٱلْمَذَابِحَ. عَلَى حَسَبِ جُودَةِ أَرْضِهِ أَجَادَ ٱلْأَنْصَابَ. ١ 1
Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit to himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
قَدْ قَسَمُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ. اَلْآنَ يُعَاقَبُونَ. هُوَ يُحَطِّمُ مَذَابِحَهُمْ، يُخْرِبُ أَنْصَابَهُمْ. ٢ 2
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
إِنَّهُمُ ٱلْآنَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا مَلِكَ لَنَا لِأَنَّنَا لَا نَخَافُ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَٱلْمَلِكُ مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ بِنَا؟». ٣ 3
For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
يَتَكَلَّمُونَ كَلَامًا بِأَقْسَامٍ بَاطِلَةٍ. يَقْطَعُونَ عَهْدًا فَيَنْبُتُ ٱلْقَضَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَٱلْعَلْقَمِ فِي أَتْلَامِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ٤ 4
They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
عَلَى عُجُولِ بَيْتِ آوَنَ يَخَافُ سُكَّانُ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ. إِنَّ شَعْبَهُ يَنُوحُ عَلَيْهِ، وَكَهَنَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ يَرْتَعِدُونَ عَلَى مَجْدِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱنْتَفَى عَنْهُ. ٥ 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.
وَهُوَ أَيْضًا يُجْلَبُ إِلَى أَشُّورَ هَدِيَّةً لِمَلِكٍ عَدُوٍّ. يَأْخُذُ أَفْرَايِمُ خِزْيًا، وَيَخْجَلُ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى رَأْيِهِ. ٦ 6
It shall be also carried to Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
اَلسَّامِرَةُ مَلِكُهَا يَبِيدُ كَغُثَاءٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمَاءِ، ٧ 7
As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam on the water.
وَتُخْرَبُ شَوَامِخُ آوَنَ، خَطِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَطْلُعُ ٱلشَّوْكُ وَٱلْحَسَكُ عَلَى مَذَابِحِهِمْ، وَيَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ: غَطِّينَا، وَلِلتِّلَالِ: ٱسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا. ٨ 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.
«مِنْ أَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ أَخْطَأْتَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. هُنَاكَ وَقَفُوا. لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُمْ فِي جِبْعَةَ ٱلْحَرْبُ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْإِثْمِ. ٩ 9
O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
حِينَمَا أُرِيدُ أُؤَدِّبُهُمْ، وَيَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ شُعُوبٌ فِي ٱرْتِبَاطِهِمْ بِإِثْمَيْهِمْ. ١٠ 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.
وَأَفْرَايِمُ عِجْلَةٌ مُتَمَرِّنَةٌ تُحِبُّ ٱلدِّرَاسَ، وَلَكِنِّي أَجْتَازُ عَلَى عُنُقِهَا ٱلْحَسَنِ. أُرْكِبُ عَلَى أَفْرَايِمَ. يَفْلَحُ يَهُوذَا. يُمَهِّدُ يَعْقُوبُ. ١١ 11
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over on her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
«اِزْرَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ بِٱلْبِرِّ. ٱحْصُدُوا بِحَسَبِ ٱلصَّلَاحِ. ٱحْرُثُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ حَرْثًا، فَإِنَّهُ وَقْتٌ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَيُعَلِّمَكُمُ ٱلْبِرَّ. ١٢ 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 on you.
قَدْ حَرَثْتُمُ ٱلنِّفَاقَ، حَصَدْتُمُ ٱلْإِثْمَ، أَكَلْتُمْ ثَمَرَ ٱلْكَذِبِ. لِأَنَّكَ وَثَقْتَ بِطَرِيقِكَ، بِكَثْرَةِ أَبْطَالِكَ. ١٣ 13
You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity; you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
يَقُومُ ضَجِيجٌ فِي شُعُوبِكَ، وَتُخْرَبُ جَمِيعُ حُصُونِكَ كَإِخْرَابِ شَلْمَانَ بَيْتَ أَرَبْئِيلَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. اَلْأُمُّ مَعَ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ حُطِّمَتْ. ١٤ 14
Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces on her children.
هَكَذَا تَصْنَعُ بِكُمْ بَيْتُ إِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ رَدَاءَةِ شَرِّكُمْ. فِي ٱلصُّبْحِ يَهْلِكُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَلَاكًا. ١٥ 15
So shall Bethel do to you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
