< هُوشَع 9 >

لَا تَفْرَحْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ طَرَبًا كَٱلشُّعُوبِ، لِأَنَّكَ قَدْ زَنَيْتَ عَنْ إِلَهِكَ. أَحْبَبْتَ ٱلْأُجْرَةَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ بَيَادِرِ ٱلْحِنْطَةِ. ١ 1
Do not rejoice, Israel, with joy like the other peoples. For you have been unfaithful, forsaking your God. You love to pay the wages a prostitute requires on all the threshing floors.
لَا يُطْعِمُهُمُ ٱلْبَيْدَرُ وَٱلْمِعْصَرَةُ، وَيَكْذِبُ عَلَيْهِمِ ٱلْمِسْطَارُ. ٢ 2
But the threshing floor and the winepress will not feed them; the new wine will fail them.
لَا يَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ ٱلرَّبِّ، بَلْ يَرْجِعُ أَفْرَايِمُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَأْكُلُونَ ٱلنَّجِسَ فِي أَشُّورَ. ٣ 3
They will not continue to live in Yahweh's land; instead, Ephraim will return to Egypt, and one day they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
لَا يَسْكُبُونَ لِلرَّبِّ خَمْرًا وَلَا تَسُرُّهُ ذَبَائِحُهُمْ. إِنَّهَا لَهُمْ كَخُبْزِ ٱلْحُزْنِ. كُلُّ مَنْ أَكَلَهُ يَتَنَجَّسُ. إِنَّ خُبْزَهُمْ لِنَفْسِهِمْ. لَا يَدْخُلُ بَيْتَ ٱلرَّبِّ. ٤ 4
They will pour out no wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like mourners' food: all who eat it will be defiled. For their food will be for themselves only; it will not come into the house of Yahweh.
مَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْمَوْسِمِ، وَفِي يَوْمِ عِيدِ ٱلرَّبِّ؟ ٥ 5
What will you do on the day of an appointed festival, on the day of a festival for Yahweh?
إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا مِنَ ٱلْخَرَابِ. تَجْمَعُهُمْ مِصْرُ. تَدْفِنُهُمْ مُوفُ. يَرِثُ ٱلْقَرِيصُ نَفَائِسَ فِضَّتِهِمْ. يَكُونُ ٱلْعَوْسَجُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ. ٦ 6
For, look, if they escape from destruction, Egypt will gather them, and Memphis will bury them. As for their treasures of silver— sharp briers will possess them, and thorns will fill their tents.
جَاءَتْ أَيَّامُ ٱلْعِقَابِ. جَاءَتْ أَيَّامُ ٱلْجَزَاءِ. سَيَعْرِفُ إِسْرَائِيلُ. اَلنَّبِيُّ أَحْمَقُ. إِنْسَانُ ٱلرُّوحِ مَجْنُونٌ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ إِثْمِكَ وَكَثْرَةِ ٱلْحِقْدِ. ٧ 7
The days for punishment are coming; the days for retribution are coming. Let all Israel know these things. The prophet is a fool, and the inspired man is insane, because of your great iniquity and great hostility.
أَفْرَايِمُ مُنْتَظَرٌ عِنْدَ إِلَهِي. اَلنَّبِيُّ فَخُّ صَيَّادٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ. حِقْدٌ فِي بَيْتِ إِلَهِهِ. ٨ 8
The prophet is the watchman for my God over Ephraim. But a bird snare is on all of his paths, and hostility toward him is in the house of his God.
قَدْ تَوَغَّلُوا، فَسَدُوا كَأَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ. سَيَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ. سَيُعَاقِبُ خَطَايَاهُمْ. ٩ 9
They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. God will call to mind their iniquity, and he will punish their sins.
«وَجَدْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَعِنَبٍ فِي ٱلْبَرِّيَّةِ. رَأَيْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ كَبَاكُورَةٍ عَلَى تِينَةٍ فِي أَوَّلِهَا. أَمَّا هُمْ فَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَنَذَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِلْخِزْيِ، وَصَارُوا رِجْسًا كَمَا أَحَبُّوا. ١٠ 10
Yahweh says, “When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness. Like the very first fruit of the season on the fig tree, I found your fathers. But they went to Baal Peor, and they devoted themselves to that shameful idol. They became as detestable as the idol they loved.
أَفْرَايِمُ تَطِيرُ كَرَامَتُهُمْ كَطَائِرٍ مِنَ ٱلْوِلَادَةِ وَمِنَ ٱلْبَطْنِ وَمِنَ ٱلْحَبَلِ. ١١ 11
As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
وَإِنْ رَبَّوْا أَوْلَادَهُمْ أُثْكِلُهُمْ إِيَّاهُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ إِنْسَانٌ. وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَتَى ٱنْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُمْ! ١٢ 12
Though they have brought up children, I will take them away so that none of them is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them!
أَفْرَايِمُ كَمَا أَرَى كَصُورٍ مَغْرُوسٍ فِي مَرْعًى، وَلَكِنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ سَيُخْرِجُ بَنِيهِ إِلَى ٱلْقَاتِلِ». ١٣ 13
I have seen Ephraim, just like Tyre, planted in a meadow, but Ephraim will bring out his children to someone who will slaughter them.”
أَعْطِهِمْ يَارَبُّ. مَاذَا تُعْطِي؟ أَعْطِهِمْ رَحِمًا مُسْقِطًا وَثَدْيَيْنِ يَبِسَيْنِ. ١٤ 14
Give them, Yahweh—what will you give them? Give them a miscarrying womb and breasts that give no milk.
«كُلُّ شَرِّهِمْ فِي ٱلْجِلْجَالِ. إِنِّي هُنَاكَ أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ سُوءِ أَفْعَالِهِمْ أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِي. لَا أَعُودُ أُحِبُّهُمْ. جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ. ١٥ 15
“Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, that is where I began to hate them. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their officials are rebels.
أَفْرَايِمُ مَضْرُوبٌ. أَصْلُهُمْ قَدْ جَفَّ. لَا يَصْنَعُونَ ثَمَرًا. وَإِنْ وَلَدُوا أُمِيتُ مُشْتَهَيَاتِ بُطُونِهِمْ». ١٦ 16
Ephraim is diseased, and their root is dried up; they bear no fruit. Even if they have children, I will put their beloved children to death.”
يَرْفُضُهُمْ إِلَهِي لِأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ، فَيَكُونُونَ تَائِهِينَ بَيْنَ ٱلْأُمَمِ. ١٧ 17
My God will reject them because they have not obeyed him. They will become wanderers among the nations.
