إِسْرَائِيلُ جَفْنَةٌ مُمْتَدَّةٌ. يُخْرِجُ ثَمَرًا لِنَفْسِهِ. عَلَى حَسَبِ كَثْرَةِ ثَمَرِهِ قَدْ كَثَّرَ ٱلْمَذَابِحَ. عَلَى حَسَبِ جُودَةِ أَرْضِهِ أَجَادَ ٱلْأَنْصَابَ. ١ 1
A luxuriant vine is Israel. He bore fruit lavishly. In proportion to the increase of his fruit he increased altars to idols. In proportion to the beauty of his land he made beautiful the sacred pillars.
قَدْ قَسَمُوا قُلُوبَهُمْ. اَلْآنَ يُعَاقَبُونَ. هُوَ يُحَطِّمُ مَذَابِحَهُمْ، يُخْرِبُ أَنْصَابَهُمْ. ٢ 2
Their heart is false, now they must be punished. God himself will break the necks of their altars, he will destroy their sacred pillars.
إِنَّهُمُ ٱلْآنَ يَقُولُونَ: «لَا مَلِكَ لَنَا لِأَنَّنَا لَا نَخَافُ ٱلرَّبَّ، فَٱلْمَلِكُ مَاذَا يَصْنَعُ بِنَا؟». ٣ 3
Yes, soon they will be saying, ‘We have no king, for we have not revered the Lord, and a king, what could he do for us anyway?’
يَتَكَلَّمُونَ كَلَامًا بِأَقْسَامٍ بَاطِلَةٍ. يَقْطَعُونَ عَهْدًا فَيَنْبُتُ ٱلْقَضَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ كَٱلْعَلْقَمِ فِي أَتْلَامِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ٤ 4
Speaking words, perjuring themselves, making agreements, and litigation springs up like a poisonous weed in a ploughed 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 will tremble with fear for their calf of Beth-aven. Its people will mourn over it, and so will its priests, who had rejoiced for its glory, now departed from it.
وَهُوَ أَيْضًا يُجْلَبُ إِلَى أَشُّورَ هَدِيَّةً لِمَلِكٍ عَدُوٍّ. يَأْخُذُ أَفْرَايِمُ خِزْيًا، وَيَخْجَلُ إِسْرَائِيلُ عَلَى رَأْيِهِ. ٦ 6
It will be carried off to Assyria as a present to the patron king. Disgrace will Ephraim bear and Israel will be ashamed of its idol.
اَلسَّامِرَةُ مَلِكُهَا يَبِيدُ كَغُثَاءٍ عَلَى وَجْهِ ٱلْمَاءِ، ٧ 7
As for Samaria, her king will disappear, like foam on the face of the waters.
وَتُخْرَبُ شَوَامِخُ آوَنَ، خَطِيَّةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. يَطْلُعُ ٱلشَّوْكُ وَٱلْحَسَكُ عَلَى مَذَابِحِهِمْ، وَيَقُولُونَ لِلْجِبَالِ: غَطِّينَا، وَلِلتِّلَالِ: ٱسْقُطِي عَلَيْنَا. ٨ 8
And the high places of Aven will be destroyed, the shrines of Israel’s sin, thorns and thistles will grow on their altars, and they will say to the mountains, ‘Cover us,’ and to the hills, ‘Fall upon us.’
«مِنْ أَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ أَخْطَأْتَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ. هُنَاكَ وَقَفُوا. لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُمْ فِي جِبْعَةَ ٱلْحَرْبُ عَلَى بَنِي ٱلْإِثْمِ. ٩ 9
From the time of Gibeah, Israel has sinned. There they took their stand. Will not war overtake them in Gibeah because of the wicked?
حِينَمَا أُرِيدُ أُؤَدِّبُهُمْ، وَيَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِمْ شُعُوبٌ فِي ٱرْتِبَاطِهِمْ بِإِثْمَيْهِمْ. ١٠ 10
When I please, I will punish them. Nations will gather against them to chain them for their double crimes.
وَأَفْرَايِمُ عِجْلَةٌ مُتَمَرِّنَةٌ تُحِبُّ ٱلدِّرَاسَ، وَلَكِنِّي أَجْتَازُ عَلَى عُنُقِهَا ٱلْحَسَنِ. أُرْكِبُ عَلَى أَفْرَايِمَ. يَفْلَحُ يَهُوذَا. يُمَهِّدُ يَعْقُوبُ. ١١ 11
Ephraim indeed was a trained heifer that loved to thresh grain, and I myself laid a yoke upon his fair neck, I made Ephraim draw and Judah must plough, Jacob must turn the soil for himself.
«اِزْرَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ بِٱلْبِرِّ. ٱحْصُدُوا بِحَسَبِ ٱلصَّلَاحِ. ٱحْرُثُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ حَرْثًا، فَإِنَّهُ وَقْتٌ لِطَلَبِ ٱلرَّبِّ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ وَيُعَلِّمَكُمُ ٱلْبِرَّ. ١٢ 12
Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruits of love. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, so righteousness may come to you.
قَدْ حَرَثْتُمُ ٱلنِّفَاقَ، حَصَدْتُمُ ٱلْإِثْمَ، أَكَلْتُمْ ثَمَرَ ٱلْكَذِبِ. لِأَنَّكَ وَثَقْتَ بِطَرِيقِكَ، بِكَثْرَةِ أَبْطَالِكَ. ١٣ 13
But you have ploughed wickedness, iniquity have you reaped. You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own path, in the multitude of your warriors,
يَقُومُ ضَجِيجٌ فِي شُعُوبِكَ، وَتُخْرَبُ جَمِيعُ حُصُونِكَ كَإِخْرَابِ شَلْمَانَ بَيْتَ أَرَبْئِيلَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْحَرْبِ. اَلْأُمُّ مَعَ ٱلْأَوْلَادِ حُطِّمَتْ. ١٤ 14
the alarm of war will sound in your cities and all your fortresses will be ruined, as Shalman laid in ruins Beth-arbel in the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces over their children.
هَكَذَا تَصْنَعُ بِكُمْ بَيْتُ إِيلَ مِنْ أَجْلِ رَدَاءَةِ شَرِّكُمْ. فِي ٱلصُّبْحِ يَهْلِكُ مَلِكُ إِسْرَائِيلَ هَلَاكًا. ١٥ 15
Thus will I do to you, Bethel, because of the enormity of your wickedness. When dawn breaks, so will the king of Israel be broken.
