لَمَّا تَكَلَّمَ أَفْرَايِمُ بِرَعْدَةٍ، تَرَفَّعَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ. وَلَمَّا أَثِمَ بِبَعْلٍ مَاتَ. ١ 1
When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty in Baal, he died.
وَٱلْآنَ يَزْدَادُونَ خَطِيَّةً، وَيَصْنَعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ تَمَاثِيلَ مَسْبُوكَةً مِنْ فِضَّتِهِمْ، أَصْنَامًا بِحَذَاقَتِهِمْ، كُلُّهَا عَمَلُ ٱلصُّنَّاعِ. عَنْهَا هُمْ يَقُولُونَ: «ذَابِحُو ٱلنَّاسِ يُقَبِّلُونَ ٱلْعُجُولَ». ٢ 2
Now they sin more and more, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, 'They offer human sacrifice and kiss the calves.'
لِذَلِكَ يَكُونُونَ كَسَحَابِ ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَكَالنَّدَى ٱلْمَاضِي بَاكِرًا. كَعُصَافَةٍ تُخْطَفُ مِنَ ٱلْبَيْدَرِ، وَكَدُخَانٍ مِنَ ٱلْكُوَّةِ. ٣ 3
Therefore they will be like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.
«وَأَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ، وَإِلَهًا سُوَايَ لَسْتَ تَعْرِفُ، وَلَا مُخَلِّصَ غَيْرِي. ٤ 4
"Yet I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt; and you shall acknowledge no god but me, and besides me there is no savior.
أَنَا عَرَفْتُكَ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلْعَطَشِ. ٥ 5
I fed you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
لَمَّا رَعَوْا شَبِعُوا. شَبِعُوا وَٱرْتَفَعَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ، لِذَلِكَ نَسُونِي. ٦ 6
According to their pasture, so were they filled; they were filled, and their heart was exalted. Therefore they have forgotten me.
«فَأَكُونُ لَهُمْ كَأَسَدٍ. أَرْصُدُ عَلَى ٱلطَّرِيقِ كَنَمِرٍ. ٧ 7
Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.
أَصْدِمُهُمْ كَدُبَّةٍ مُثْكِلٍ، وَأَشُقُّ شَغَافَ قَلْبِهِمْ، وَآكُلُهُمْ هُنَاكَ كَلَبْوَةٍ. يُمَزِّقُهُمْ وَحْشُ ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. ٨ 8
I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.
«هَلَاكُكَ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ أَنَّكَ عَلَيَّ، عَلَى عَوْنِكَ. ٩ 9
You are destroyed, Israel, because you are against me, against your help.
فَأَيْنَ هُوَ مَلِكُكَ حَتَّى يُخَلِّصَكَ فِي جَمِيعِ مُدُنِكَ؟ وَقُضَاتُكَ حَيْثُ قُلْتَ: أَعْطِنِي مَلِكًا وَرُؤَسَاءَ؟ ١٠ 10
Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, 'Give me a king and princes?'
أَنَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ مَلِكًا بِغَضَبِي وَأَخَذْتُهُ بِسَخَطِي. ١١ 11
I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.
«إِثْمُ أَفْرَايِمَ مَصْرُورٌ. خَطِيَّتُهُ مَكْنُوزَةٌ. ١٢ 12
The guilt of Ephraim is stored up. His sin is stored up.
مَخَاضُ ٱلْوَالِدَةِ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ. هُوَ ٱبْنٌ غَيْرُ حَكِيمٍ، إِذْ لَمْ يَقِفْ فِي ٱلْوَقْتِ فِي مَوْلِدِ ٱلْبَنِينَ. ١٣ 13
The sorrows of a travailing woman will come on him. He is an unwise son; for when it is time, he doesn't come to the opening of the womb.
«مِنْ يَدِ ٱلْهَاوِيَةِ أَفْدِيهِمْ. مِنَ ٱلْمَوْتِ أُخَلِّصُهُمْ. أَيْنَ أَوْبَاؤُكَ يَا مَوْتُ؟ أَيْنَ شَوْكَتُكِ يَا هَاوِيَةُ؟ تَخْتَفِي ٱلنَّدَامَةُ عَنْ عَيْنَيَّ». (Sheol h7585) ١٤ 14
I will ransom them from the power of Sheol. I will redeem them from death. Death, where is your victory? Sheol, where is your sting? "Compassion will be hidden 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 is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.
تُجَازَى ٱلسَّامِرَةُ لِأَنَّهَا قَدْ تَمَرَّدَتْ عَلَى إِلَهِهَا. بِٱلسَّيْفِ يَسْقُطُونَ. تُحَطَّمُ أَطْفَالُهُمْ، وَٱلْحَوَامِلُ تُشَقُّ. ١٦ 16
Samaria will bear her guilt; for she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword. Their infants will be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women will be ripped open."
