1Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
1اسمعوا قول الرب يا بني اسرائيل. ان للرب محاكمة مع سكان الارض لانه لا امانة ولا احسان ولا معرفة الله في الارض.
2By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
2لعن وكذب وقتل وسرقة وفسق. يعتنفون ودماء تلحق دماء.
3Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.
3لذلك تنوح الارض ويذبل كل من يسكن فيها مع حيوان البرية وطيور السماء واسماك البحر ايضا تنتزع
4Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.
4ولكن لا يحاكم احد ولا يعاتب احد. وشعبك كمن يخاصم كاهنا.
5Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.
5فتتعثر في النهار ويتعثر ايضا النبي معك في الليل وانا اخرب امّك.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
6قد هلك شعبي من عدم المعرفة. لانك انت رفضت المعرفة ارفضك انا حتى لا تكهن لي. ولانك نسيت شريعة الهك انسى انا ايضا بنيك.
7As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.
7على حسبما كثروا هكذا اخطأوا اليّ فابدل كرامتهم بهوان.
8They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.
8يأكلون خطية شعبي والى اثمهم يحملون نفوسهم.
9And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.
9فيكون كما الشعب هكذا الكاهن واعاقبهم على طرقهم وارد اعمالهم عليهم.
10For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.
10فيأكلون ولا يشبعون ويزنون ولا يكثرون لانهم قد تركوا عبادة الرب.
11Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.
11الزنى والخمر والسلافة تخلب القلب.
12My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.
12شعبي يسأل خشبه وعصاه تخبره لان روح الزنى قد اضلّهم فزنوا من تحت الههم.
13They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.
13يذبحون على رؤوس الجبال ويبخرون على التلال تحت البلوط واللبنى والبطم لان ظلها حسن. لذلك تزني بناتكم وتفسق كنّاتكم.
14I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.
14لا اعاقب بناتكم لانهنّ يزنين ولا كنّاتكم لانهنّ يفسقن. لانهم يعتزلون مع الزانيات ويذبحون مع الناذرات الزنى. وشعب لا يعقل يصرع
15Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.
15ان كنت انت زانيا يا اسرائيل فلا يأثم يهوذا. ولا تأتوا الى الجلجال ولا تصعدوا الى بيت آون ولا تحلفوا حيّ هو الرب.
16For Israel slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.
16انه قد جمح اسرائيل كبقرة جامحة. الآن يرعاهم الرب كخروف في مكان واسع.
17Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.
17افرايم موثق بالاصنام. اتركوه.
18Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.
18متى انتهت منادمتهم زنوا زنى. احب مجانّها احبوا الهوان.
19The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.
19قد صرّتها الريح في اجنحتها وخجلوا من ذبائحهم
