هُوشَع 13
| لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ أَفْرَايِمُ بِرَعْدَةٍ، تَرَفَّعَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلَمَّا أَثِمَ بِبَعْلٍ مَاتَ. | ١ 1 |
“When Ephraim speaks tremblingly, He has been lifted up in Israel, When he becomes guilty in Ba‘al he dies.
| وَٱلْآنَ يَزْدَادُونَ خَطِيَّةً، وَيَصْنَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ تَمَاثِيلَ مَسْبُوكَةً مِنْ فِضَّتِهِمْ، أَصْنَامًا بِحَذَاقَتِهِمْ، كُلُّهَا عَمَلُ ٱلصُّنَّاعِ. عَنْهَا هُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «ذَابِحُو ٱلنَّاسِ يُقَبِّلُونَ ٱلْعُجُولَ». | ٢ 2 |
And now they sin, And make for themselves a molten image of their silver, By their own understanding—idols, A work of artisans—all of it, Of them they say, who [are] sacrificers among men, The calves let them kiss.
| لِذَلِكَ يَكُونُونَ كَسَحَابِ ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَكَالنَّدَى ٱلْمَاضِي بَاكِرًا. كَعُصَافَةٍ تُخْطَفُ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ، وَكَدُخَانٍ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ. | ٣ 3 |
Therefore they are as a cloud of the morning, And as dew, rising early, going away, As chaff tossed about out of a floor, And as smoke out of a window.
| «وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَإِلَهًا سُوَايَ لَسْتَ تَعْرِفُ، وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ غَيْرِي. | ٤ 4 |
And I [am] your God YHWH from the land of Egypt, And you do not know a God besides Me, And a Savior—there is none except Me.
| أَنَا عَرَفْتُكَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْعَطَشِ. | ٥ 5 |
I have known you in a wilderness, In a land of droughts.
| لَمَّا رَعَوْا شَبِعُوا. شَبِعُوا وَٱرْتَفَعَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ، لِذَلِكَ نَسُونِي. | ٦ 6 |
They are satiated according to their feedings, They have been satiated, And their heart is lifted up, Therefore they have forgotten Me,
| «فَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ كَأَسَدٍ. أَرْصُدُ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ كَنَمِرٍ. | ٧ 7 |
And I am to them as a lion, I look out as a leopard by the way.
| أَصْدِمُهُمْ كَدُبَّةٍ مُثْكِلٍ، وَأَشُقُّ شَغَافَ قَلْبِهِمْ، وَآكُلُهُمْ هُنَاكَ كَلَبْوَةٍ. يُمَزِّقُهُمْ وَحْشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. | ٨ 8 |
I meet them as a bereaved bear, And I tear the enclosure of their heart, And I consume them there as a lioness, A beast of the field tears them.
| «هَلَاكُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ أَنَّكَ عَلَيَّ، عَلَى عَوْنِكَ. | ٩ 9 |
You have destroyed yourself, O Israel, But in Me [is] your help;
| فَأَيْنَ هُوَ مَلِكُكَ حَتَّى يُخَلِّصَكَ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكَ؟ وَقُضَاتُكَ حَيْثُ قُلْتَ: أَعْطِنِي مَلِكًا وَرُؤَسَاءَ؟ | ١٠ 10 |
Where [is] your king now—And he saves you in all your cities? And your judges of whom you said, Give a king and heads to me?
| أَنَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ مَلِكًا بِغَضَبِي وَأَخَذْتُهُ بِسَخَطِي. | ١١ 11 |
I give to you a king in My anger, And I take away in My wrath.
| «إِثْمُ أَفْرَايِمَ مَصْرُورٌ. خَطِيَّتُهُ مَكْنُوزَةٌ. | ١٢ 12 |
Bound up [is] the iniquity of Ephraim, Hidden [is] his sin,
| مَخَاضُ ٱلْوَالِدَةِ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ. هُوَ ٱبْنٌ غَيْرُ حَكِيمٍ، إِذْ لَمْ يَقِفْ فِي ٱلْوَقْتِ فِي مَوْلِدِ ٱلْبَنِينَ. | ١٣ 13 |
Pangs of a travailing woman come to him, He [is] not a wise son, For he does not remain [at] the time for the breaking forth of sons.
| «مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَفْدِيهِمْ. مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ أُخَلِّصُهُمْ. أَيْنَ أَوْبَاؤُكَ يَا مَوْتُ؟ أَيْنَ شَوْكَتُكِ يَا هَاوِيَةُ؟ تَخْتَفِي ٱلنَّدَامَةُ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ». (Sheol h7585) | ١٤ 14 |
Will I ransom them from the hand of Sheol? Will I redeem them from death? Where [is] your plague, O death? Where your destruction, O Sheol? Comfort is hid from My eyes. (Sheol h7585)
| وَإِنْ كَانَ مُثْمِرًا بَيْنَ إِخْوَةٍ، تَأْتِي رِيحٌ شَرْقِيَّةٌ، رِيحُ ٱلرَّبِّ طَالِعَةً مِنَ ٱلْقَفْرِ فَتَجِفُّ عَيْنُهُ وَيَيْبَسُ يَنْبُوعُهُ. هِيَ تَنْهَبُ كَنْزَ كُلِّ مَتَاعٍ شَهِيٍّ. | ١٥ 15 |
Though he produces fruit among brothers, An east wind comes in, a wind of YHWH, From a wilderness it is coming up, And it dries up his fountain, And his spring becomes dry, It—it spoils a treasure—every desirable vessel.
| تُجَازَى ٱلسَّامِرَةُ لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ تَمَرَّدَتْ عَلَى إِلَهِهَا. بِٱلسَّيْفِ يَسْقُطُونَ. تُحَطَّمُ أَطْفَالُهُمْ، وَٱلْحَوَامِلُ تُشَقُّ. | ١٦ 16 |
Samaria becomes desolate, Because she has been rebellious against her God, They fall by sword, Their sucklings are dashed in pieces, And its pregnant ones are ripped up!”
