هُوشَع 6

١ 1 هَلُمَّ نَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ ٱفْتَرَسَ فَيَشْفِينَا، ضَرَبَ فَيَجْبِرُنَا.

Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bind up our wounds.

٢ 2 يُحْيِينَا بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ. فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يُقِيمُنَا فَنَحْيَا أَمَامَهُ.

After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.

٣ 3 لِنَعْرِفْ فَلْنَتَتَبَّعْ لِنَعْرِفَ ٱلرَّبَّ. خُرُوجُهُ يَقِينٌ كَٱلْفَجْرِ. يَأْتِي إِلَيْنَا كَٱلْمَطَرِ. كَمَطَرٍ مُتَأَخِّرٍ يَسْقِي ٱلْأَرْضَ.

So let us know— let us press on to know the LORD. As surely as the sun rises, He will appear; He will come to us like the rain, like the spring showers that water the earth.

٤ 4 «مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ يَا أَفْرَايِمُ؟ مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ يَا يَهُوذَا؟ فَإِنَّ إِحْسَانَكُمْ كَسَحَابِ ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَكَالنَّدَى ٱلْمَاضِي بَاكِرًا.

What shall I do with you, O Ephraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? For your loyalty is like a morning mist, like the early dew that vanishes.

٥ 5 لِذَلِكَ أَقْرِضُهُمْ بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. أَقْتُلُهُمْ بِأَقْوَالِ فَمِي. وَٱلْقَضَاءُ عَلَيْكَ كَنُورٍ قَدْ خَرَجَ.

Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.

٦ 6 «إِنِّي أُرِيدُ رَحْمَةً لَا ذَبِيحَةً، وَمَعْرِفَةَ ٱللهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتٍ.

For I desire mercy, not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings.

٧ 7 وَلَكِنَّهُمْ كَآدَمَ تَعَدَّوْا ٱلْعَهْدَ. هُنَاكَ غَدَرُوا بِي.

But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant; there they were unfaithful to Me.

٨ 8 جَلْعَادُ قَرْيَةُ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ مَدُوسَةٌ بِٱلدَّمِ.

Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with footprints of blood.

٩ 9 وَكَمَا يَكْمُنُ لُصُوصٌ لِإِنْسَانٍ، كَذَلِكَ زُمْرَةُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ يَقْتُلُونَ نَحْوَ شَكِيمَ. إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ صَنَعُوا فَاحِشَةً.

Like raiders who lie in ambush, so does a band of priests; they murder on the way to Shechem; surely they have committed atrocities.

١٠ 10 في بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رَأَيْتُ أَمْرًا فَظِيعًا. هُنَاكَ زَنَى أَفْرَايِمُ. تَنَجَّسَ إِسْرَائِيلُ.

In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing: Ephraim practices prostitution there, and Israel is defiled.

١١ 11 وَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا يَا يَهُوذَا قَدْ أُعِدَّ لَكَ حَصَادٌ، عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِي.

Also for you, O Judah, a harvest is appointed, when I restore My people from captivity.
