< هُوشَع 8 >

«إِلَى فَمِكَ بِٱلْبُوقِ! كَٱلنَّسْرِ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ تَجَاوَزُوا عَهْدِي وَتَعَدَّوْا عَلَى شَرِيعَتِي. ١ 1
Let there be a trumpet in your throat, like an eagle over the house of the Lord, on behalf of those who have transgressed my covenant and violated my law.
إِلَيَّ يَصْرُخُونَ: يَا إِلَهِي، نَعْرِفُكَ نَحْنُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢ 2
They will call on me: “O my God, we, Israel, know you.”
«قَدْ كَرِهَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلصَّلَاحَ فَيَتْبَعُهُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ. ٣ 3
Israel has thrown away goodness; the enemy will overtake him.
هُمْ أَقَامُوا مُلُوكًا وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي. أَقَامُوا رُؤَسَاءَ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْرِفْ. صَنَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ فِضَّتِهِمْ وَذَهَبِهِمْ أَصْنَامًا لِكَيْ يَنْقَرِضُوا. ٤ 4
They have reigned, but not by me. Leaders have emerged, and I did not recognize them. Their silver and their gold, they have made into idols for themselves, so that they might cross over.
قَدْ زَنِخَ عِجْلُكِ يَا سَامِرَةُ. حَمِيَ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ. إِلَى مَتَى لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلنَّقَاوَةَ! ٥ 5
Your calf, Samaria, has been rejected. My fury has been enraged against them. How long will they be incapable of being cleansed?
إِنَّهُ هُوَ أَيْضًا مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. صَنَعَهُ ٱلصَّانِعُ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ إِلَهًا. إِنَّ عِجْلَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ يَصِيرُ كِسَرًا. ٦ 6
For it is itself also from Israel: a workman made it, and it is not God. For the calf of Samaria will be used for the webs of spiders.
«إِنَّهُمْ يَزْرَعُونَ ٱلرِّيحَ وَيَحْصُدُونَ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةَ. زَرْعٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ غَلَّةٌ لَا يَصْنَعُ دَقِيقًا. وَإِنْ صَنَعَ، فَٱلْغُرَبَاءُ تَبْتَلِعُهُ. ٧ 7
For they will sow wind and reap a whirlwind. It does not have a firm stalk; the bud will yield no grain. But if it does yield, strangers will eat it.
قَدِ ٱبْتُلِعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٱلْآنَ صَارُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَإِنَاءٍ لَا مَسَرَّةَ فِيهِ. ٨ 8
Israel has been devoured. Now, among the nations, it has become like an unclean vessel.
لِأَنَّهُمْ صَعِدُوا إِلَى أَشُّورَ مِثْلَ حِمَارٍ وَحْشِيٍّ مُعْتَزِلٍ بِنَفْسِهِ. ٱسْتَأْجَرَ أَفْرَايِمُ مُحِبِّينَ. ٩ 9
For they have gone up to Assur, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has given presents to his lovers.
إِنِّي وَإِنْ كَانُوا يَسْتَأْجِرُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلْآنَ أَجْمَعُهُمْ فَيَنْفَكُّونَ قَلِيلًا مِنْ ثِقْلِ مَلِكِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ. ١٠ 10
But even when they will have brought the nations together for the sake of money, now I will assemble them. And they will rest for a little while from the burden of the king and the leaders.
«لِأَنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ كَثَّرَ مَذَابِحَ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ، صَارَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَذَابِحُ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ. ١١ 11
For Ephraim multiplied altars to sin, and sanctuaries have become an offense for him.
أَكْتُبُ لَهُ كَثْرَةَ شَرَائِعِي، فَهِيَ تُحْسَبُ أَجْنَبِيَّةً. ١٢ 12
I will write to him my intricate laws, which have been treated like strangers.
أَمَّا ذَبَائِحُ تَقْدِمَاتِي فَيَذْبَحُونَ لَحْمًا وَيَأْكُلُونَ. ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَرْتَضِيهَا. ٱلْآنَ يَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ وَيُعَاقِبُ خَطِيَّتَهُمْ. إِنَّهُمْ إِلَى مِصْرَ يَرْجِعُونَ. ١٣ 13
They will offer victims, they will immolate flesh and will eat, and the Lord will not accept them. For now he will remember their iniquity, and he will repay their sins: they will be turned back to Egypt.
وَقَدْ نَسِيَ إِسْرَائِيلُ صَانِعَهُ وَبَنَى قُصُورًا، وَكَثَّرَ يَهُوذَا مُدُنًا حَصِينَةً. لَكِنِّي أُرْسِلُ عَلَى مُدُنِهِ نَارًا فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهُ». ١٤ 14
And Israel has forgotten his Maker and has built shrines. And Judah has increased its fortified cities. And I will send fire upon his cities, and it will devour its structures.
