«اِسْمَعُوا هَذَا أَيُّهَا ٱلْكَهَنَةُ! وَٱنْصِتُوا يَا بَيْتَ إِسْرَائِيلَ! وَأَصْغُوا يَا بَيْتَ ٱلْمَلِكِ! لِأَنَّ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقَضَاءَ، إِذْ صِرْتُمْ فَخًّا فِي مِصْفَاةَ، وَشَبَكَةً مَبْسُوطَةً عَلَى تَابُورَ. ١ 1
Hear this, priests! Attend, Israelites! Listen, royal family! For you is the judgment: a snare you have become at Mizpeh, and a net spread out on Tabor,
وَقَدْ تَوَغَّلُوا فِي ذَبَائِحِ ٱلزَّيَغَانِ، فَأَنَا تَأْدِيبٌ لِجَمِيعِهِمْ. ٢ 2
the rebels are deep in slaughter, but I will discipline all.
أَنَا أَعْرِفُ أَفْرَايِمَ. وَإِسْرَائِيلُ لَيْسَ مَخْفِيًّا عَنِّي. إِنَّكَ ٱلْآنَ زَنَيْتَ يَا أَفْرَايِمُ. قَدْ تَنَجَّسَ إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٣ 3
I know Ephraim, Israel is not hidden from me, for you, Ephraim, have committed prostitution and Israel is defiled.
أَفْعَالُهُمْ لَا تَدَعُهُمْ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَى إِلَهِهِمْ، لِأَنَّ رُوحَ ٱلزِّنَى فِي بَاطِنِهِمْ، وَهُمْ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ ٱلرَّبَّ. ٤ 4
Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of prostitution is within them, they do not know the Lord.
وَقَدْ أُذِلَّتْ عَظَمَةُ إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي وَجْهِهِ، فَيَتَعَثَّرُ إِسْرَائِيلُ وَأَفْرَايِمُ فِي إِثْمِهِمَا، وَيَتَعَثَّرُ يَهُوذَا أَيْضًا مَعَهُمَا. ٥ 5
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, Israel, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin, and Judah also stumbles with them.
يَذْهَبُونَ بِغَنَمِهِمْ وَبَقَرِهِمْ لِيَطْلُبُوا ٱلرَّبَّ وَلَا يَجِدُونَهُ. قَدْ تَنَحَّى عَنْهُمْ. ٦ 6
With their sheep and their cattle they will go to seek the Lord but they will not find him, he has withdrawn from them,
قَدْ غَدَرُوا بِٱلرَّبِّ. لِأَنَّهُمْ وَلَدُوا أَوْلَادًا أَجْنَبِيِّينَ، اَلْآنَ يَأْكُلُهُمْ شَهْرٌ مَعَ أَنْصِبَتِهِمْ. ٧ 7
for they have been untrue to the Lord, their children are strangers. Their new moon festivals will soon destroy them and their fields.
«اِضْرِبُوا بِٱلْبُوقِ فِي جِبْعَةَ، بِٱلْقَرْنِ فِي ٱلرَّامَةِ. ٱصْرُخُوا فِي بَيْتِ آوَنَ. وَرَاءَكَ يَا بَنْيَامِينُ. ٨ 8
Blow the trumpet in Gibeah, the clarion in Ramah! Raise the alarm in Beth-aven: we are with you, Benjamin!
يَصِيرُ أَفْرَايِمُ خَرَابًا فِي يَوْمِ ٱلتَّأْدِيبِ. فِي أَسْبَاطِ إِسْرَائِيلَ أَعْلَمْتُ ٱلْيَقِينَ. ٩ 9
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of punishment, concerning the tribes of Israel I make known what is certain.
صَارَتْ رُؤَسَاءُ يَهُوذَا كَنَاقِلِي ٱلتُّخُومِ. فَأَسْكُبُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَخَطِي كَٱلْمَاءِ. ١٠ 10
The princes of Israel have become like thieves who move boundary stones. On them I will pour out my wrath like a flood.
أَفْرَايِمُ مَظْلُومٌ مَسْحُوقُ ٱلْقَضَاءِ، لِأَنَّهُ ٱرْتَضَى أَنْ يَمْضِيَ وَرَاءَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ. ١١ 11
Ephraim will be oppressed, crushed by judgment, for they are determined to go after vanity.
فَأَنَا لِأَفْرَايِمَ كَٱلْعُثِّ، وَلِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا كَٱلسُّوسِ. ١٢ 12
So I am like a moth to Ephraim, like rottenness to the house of Judah.
«وَرَأَى أَفْرَايِمُ مَرَضَهُ وَيَهُوذَا جُرْحَهُ، فَمَضَى أَفْرَايِمُ إِلَى أَشُّورَ، وَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى مَلِكٍ عَدُوٍّ. وَلَكِنَّهُ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكُمْ وَلَا أَنْ يُزِيلَ مِنْكُمُ ٱلْجُرْحَ. ١٣ 13
For when Ephraim saw their sickness and Israel their wound, Ephraim turned to Assyria, to its patron king. But he cannot heal you nor relieve you of your wound.
لِأَنِّي لِأَفْرَايِمَ كَٱلْأَسَدِ، وَلِبَيْتِ يَهُوذَا كَشِبْلِ ٱلْأَسَدِ. فَإِنِّي أَنَا أَفْتَرِسُ وَأَمْضِي وَآخُذُ وَلَا مُنْقِذٌ. ١٤ 14
For I myself will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, yes I, will rend and go my way, I will carry off and none will rescue.
أَذْهَبُ وَأَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَكَانِي حَتَّى يُجَازَوْا وَيَطْلُبُوا وَجْهِي. فِي ضِيقِهِمْ يُبَكِّرُونَ إِلَيَّ». ١٥ 15
I will return to my place, until in remorse they seek my presence. When they are in distress they will quickly seek me,
