«أَفْرَايِمُ رَاعِي ٱلرِّيحِ، وَتَابِعُ ٱلرِّيحِ ٱلشَّرْقِيَّةِ. كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يُكَثِّرُ ٱلْكَذِبَ وَٱلِٱغْتِصَابَ، وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَعَ أَشُّورَ عَهْدًا، وَٱلزَّيْتُ إِلَى مِصْرَ يُجْلَبُ. ١ 1
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
فَلِلرَّبِّ خِصَامٌ مَعَ يَهُوذَا، وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يُعَاقِبَ يَعْقُوبَ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِهِ. بِحَسَبِ أَفْعَالِهِ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ. ٢ 2
The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
«فِي ٱلْبَطْنِ قَبَضَ بِعَقِبِ أَخِيهِ، وَبِقُوَّتِهِ جَاهَدَ مَعَ ٱللهِ. ٣ 3
In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God:
جَاهَدَ مَعَ ٱلْمَلَاكِ وَغَلَبَ. بَكَى وَٱسْتَرْحَمَهُ. وَجَدَهُ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَهُنَاكَ تَكَلَّمَ مَعَنَا. ٤ 4
yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake with us;
وَٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُ ٱلْجُنُودِ يَهْوَهُ ٱسْمُهُ. ٥ 5
even the LORD, the God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
وَأَنْتَ فَٱرْجِعْ إِلَى إِلَهِكَ. اِحْفَظِ ٱلرَّحْمَةَ وَٱلْحَقَّ، وَٱنْتَظِرْ إِلَهَكَ دَائِمًا. ٦ 6
Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
«مِثْلُ ٱلْكَنْعَانِيِّ فِي يَدِهِ مَوَازِينُ ٱلْغِشِّ. يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَظْلِمَ. ٧ 7
[He is] a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
فَقَالَ أَفْرَايِمُ: إِنِّي صِرْتُ غَنِيًّا. وَجَدْتُ لِنَفْسِي ثَرْوَةً. جَمِيعُ أَتْعَابِي لَا يَجِدُونَ لِي فِيهَا ذَنْبًا هُوَ خَطِيَّةٌ. ٨ 8
And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labours they shall find in me none iniquity that were sin.
وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى أُسْكِنَكَ ٱلْخِيَامَ كَأَيَّامِ ٱلْمَوْسِمِ. ٩ 9
But I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
وَكَلَّمْتُ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَكَثَّرْتُ ٱلرُّؤَى، وَبِيَدِ ٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ مَثَّلْتُ أَمْثَالًا». ١٠ 10
I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes.
إِنَّهُمْ فِي جِلْعَادَ قَدْ صَارُوا إِثْمًا، بُطْلًا لَا غَيْرُ. فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ ذَبَحُوا ثِيرَانًا، وَمَذَابِحُهُمْ كَرُجَمٍ فِي أَتْلَامِ ٱلْحَقْلِ. ١١ 11
Is Gilead iniquity? they are altogether vanity; in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks: yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.
وَهَرَبَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى صَحْرَاءِ أَرَامَ، وَخَدَمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ لِأَجْلِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ، وَلِأَجْلِ ٱمْرَأَةٍ رَعَى. ١٢ 12
And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].
وَبِنَبِيٍّ أَصْعَدَ ٱلرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ، وَبِنَبِيٍّ حُفِظَ. ١٣ 13
And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
أَغَاظَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِمَرَارَةٍ، فَيَتْرُكُ دِمَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ، وَيَرُدُّ سَيِّدُهُ عَارَهُ عَلَيْهِ. ١٤ 14
Ephraim hath provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore shall his blood be left upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
