< هُوشَع 6 >

هَلُمَّ نَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ لِأَنَّهُ هُوَ ٱفْتَرَسَ فَيَشْفِينَا، ضَرَبَ فَيَجْبِرُنَا. ١ 1
saying, ‘Come let us return to the Lord, for he has torn us but he will heal us, he has injured us but he will bandage our wounds,
يُحْيِينَا بَعْدَ يَوْمَيْنِ. فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّالِثِ يُقِيمُنَا فَنَحْيَا أَمَامَهُ. ٢ 2
he will revive in a couple of days, on the third day he will raise us up again, to live in his presence.
لِنَعْرِفْ فَلْنَتَتَبَّعْ لِنَعْرِفَ ٱلرَّبَّ. خُرُوجُهُ يَقِينٌ كَٱلْفَجْرِ. يَأْتِي إِلَيْنَا كَٱلْمَطَرِ. كَمَطَرٍ مُتَأَخِّرٍ يَسْقِي ٱلْأَرْضَ. ٣ 3
Let us know, let us eagerly seek to know the Lord. His coming is as sure as the sunrise. He will come to us like the winter rain, as the spring rain that waters the earth.’
«مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ يَا أَفْرَايِمُ؟ مَاذَا أَصْنَعُ بِكَ يَا يَهُوذَا؟ فَإِنَّ إِحْسَانَكُمْ كَسَحَابِ ٱلصُّبْحِ، وَكَالنَّدَى ٱلْمَاضِي بَاكِرًا. ٤ 4
What can I make of you, Ephraim! What can I make of you, Judah! Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew which early goes away.
لِذَلِكَ أَقْرِضُهُمْ بِٱلْأَنْبِيَاءِ. أَقْتُلُهُمْ بِأَقْوَالِ فَمِي. وَٱلْقَضَاءُ عَلَيْكَ كَنُورٍ قَدْ خَرَجَ. ٥ 5
That is why I have hewn them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of my mouth. My judgment is like the light that goes forth,
«إِنِّي أُرِيدُ رَحْمَةً لَا ذَبِيحَةً، وَمَعْرِفَةَ ٱللهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مُحْرَقَاتٍ. ٦ 6
for it is love that I delight in and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God and not burnt offerings.
وَلَكِنَّهُمْ كَآدَمَ تَعَدَّوْا ٱلْعَهْدَ. هُنَاكَ غَدَرُوا بِي. ٧ 7
But they after the manner of men have transgressed the covenant, there they have played me false.
جَلْعَادُ قَرْيَةُ فَاعِلِي ٱلْإِثْمِ مَدُوسَةٌ بِٱلدَّمِ. ٨ 8
Gilead is a city of evildoers, tracked with bloody footprints,
وَكَمَا يَكْمُنُ لُصُوصٌ لِإِنْسَانٍ، كَذَلِكَ زُمْرَةُ ٱلْكَهَنَةِ فِي ٱلطَّرِيقِ يَقْتُلُونَ نَحْوَ شَكِيمَ. إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ صَنَعُوا فَاحِشَةً. ٩ 9
and as bandits lie in wait for a man, so a band of priests murder on the way to Shechem. How terrible is the evil they do!
في بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ رَأَيْتُ أَمْرًا فَظِيعًا. هُنَاكَ زَنَى أَفْرَايِمُ. تَنَجَّسَ إِسْرَائِيلُ. ١٠ 10
In Bethel I have seen a horrible thing. There Ephraim plays the prostitute, Israel is defiled.
وَأَنْتَ أَيْضًا يَا يَهُوذَا قَدْ أُعِدَّ لَكَ حَصَادٌ، عِنْدَمَا أَرُدُّ سَبْيَ شَعْبِي. ١١ 11
Judah for you also a harvest is set. When I would restore the fortunes of my people,
