< هُوشَع 8 >

«إِلَى فَمِكَ بِٱلْبُوقِ! كَٱلنَّسْرِ عَلَى بَيْتِ ٱلرَّبِّ. لِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ تَجَاوَزُوا عَهْدِي وَتَعَدَّوْا عَلَى شَرِيعَتِي. ١ 1
“Place a trumpet at your lips! An eagle is coming over the house of Yahweh because the people have broken my covenant and rebelled against my law.
إِلَيَّ يَصْرُخُونَ: يَا إِلَهِي، نَعْرِفُكَ نَحْنُ إِسْرَائِيلَ. ٢ 2
They cry out to me, 'My God, we in Israel know you.'
«قَدْ كَرِهَ إِسْرَائِيلُ ٱلصَّلَاحَ فَيَتْبَعُهُ ٱلْعَدُوُّ. ٣ 3
But Israel has rejected what is good, and the enemy will pursue him.
هُمْ أَقَامُوا مُلُوكًا وَلَيْسَ مِنِّي. أَقَامُوا رُؤَسَاءَ وَأَنَا لَمْ أَعْرِفْ. صَنَعُوا لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ فِضَّتِهِمْ وَذَهَبِهِمْ أَصْنَامًا لِكَيْ يَنْقَرِضُوا. ٤ 4
They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, but without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, but it was only so they might be cut off.”
قَدْ زَنِخَ عِجْلُكِ يَا سَامِرَةُ. حَمِيَ غَضَبِي عَلَيْهِمْ. إِلَى مَتَى لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ ٱلنَّقَاوَةَ! ٥ 5
“Your calf has been rejected, Samaria. My anger is burning against these people. For how long will they stay guilty?
إِنَّهُ هُوَ أَيْضًا مِنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ. صَنَعَهُ ٱلصَّانِعُ وَلَيْسَ هُوَ إِلَهًا. إِنَّ عِجْلَ ٱلسَّامِرَةِ يَصِيرُ كِسَرًا. ٦ 6
For this idol came from Israel; a workman made it; it is not God! The calf of Samaria will be broken to pieces.
«إِنَّهُمْ يَزْرَعُونَ ٱلرِّيحَ وَيَحْصُدُونَ ٱلزَّوْبَعَةَ. زَرْعٌ لَيْسَ لَهُ غَلَّةٌ لَا يَصْنَعُ دَقِيقًا. وَإِنْ صَنَعَ، فَٱلْغُرَبَاءُ تَبْتَلِعُهُ. ٧ 7
For the people sow the wind and reap the whirlwind. The standing grain has no heads; it yields no flour. If it does come to maturity, foreigners will devour it.
قَدِ ٱبْتُلِعَ إِسْرَائِيلُ. ٱلْآنَ صَارُوا بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ كَإِنَاءٍ لَا مَسَرَّةَ فِيهِ. ٨ 8
Israel is swallowed up; now they lie among the nations like something useless.
لِأَنَّهُمْ صَعِدُوا إِلَى أَشُّورَ مِثْلَ حِمَارٍ وَحْشِيٍّ مُعْتَزِلٍ بِنَفْسِهِ. ٱسْتَأْجَرَ أَفْرَايِمُ مُحِبِّينَ. ٩ 9
For they went up to Assyria like a wild donkey all alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for herself.
إِنِّي وَإِنْ كَانُوا يَسْتَأْجِرُونَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ، ٱلْآنَ أَجْمَعُهُمْ فَيَنْفَكُّونَ قَلِيلًا مِنْ ثِقْلِ مَلِكِ ٱلرُّؤَسَاءِ. ١٠ 10
Even though they have hired lovers among the nations, I will now gather them together. They will begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of princes.
«لِأَنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ كَثَّرَ مَذَابِحَ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ، صَارَتْ لَهُ ٱلْمَذَابِحُ لِلْخَطِيَّةِ. ١١ 11
For Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin offerings, but they have become altars for committing sins instead.
أَكْتُبُ لَهُ كَثْرَةَ شَرَائِعِي، فَهِيَ تُحْسَبُ أَجْنَبِيَّةً. ١٢ 12
I could write down my law for them ten thousand times, but they would view it as something strange to them.
أَمَّا ذَبَائِحُ تَقْدِمَاتِي فَيَذْبَحُونَ لَحْمًا وَيَأْكُلُونَ. ٱلرَّبُّ لَا يَرْتَضِيهَا. ٱلْآنَ يَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ وَيُعَاقِبُ خَطِيَّتَهُمْ. إِنَّهُمْ إِلَى مِصْرَ يَرْجِعُونَ. ١٣ 13
As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice meat and eat it, but I, Yahweh, do not accept them. Now I will think about their iniquity and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.
وَقَدْ نَسِيَ إِسْرَائِيلُ صَانِعَهُ وَبَنَى قُصُورًا، وَكَثَّرَ يَهُوذَا مُدُنًا حَصِينَةً. لَكِنِّي أُرْسِلُ عَلَى مُدُنِهِ نَارًا فَتَأْكُلُ قُصُورَهُ». ١٤ 14
Israel has forgotten me, his Maker, and has built palaces. Judah has fortified many cities, but I will send fire on his cities; it will destroy his fortresses.
