¹الى فمك بالبوق. كالنسر على بيت الرب. لانهم قد تجاوزوا عهدي وتعدّوا على شريعتي.

¹`Unto thy mouth — a trumpet, As an eagle against the house of Jehovah, Because they transgressed My covenant, And against My law they have rebelled.

²اليّ يصرخون يا الهي نعرفك نحن اسرائيل

²To Me they cry, `My God, we — Israel — have known Thee.`

³قد كره اسرائيل الصلاح فيتبعه العدو.

³Cast off good hath Israel, an enemy pursueth him.

⁴هم اقاموا ملوكا وليس مني. اقاموا رؤساء وانا لم اعرف. صنعوا لانفسهم من فضتهم وذهبهم اصناما لكي ينقرضوا.

⁴They have made kings, and not by Me, They have made princes, and I have not known, Their silver and their gold they have made to them idols, So that they are cut off.

⁵قد زنخ عجلك يا سامرة. حمي غضبي عليهم. الى متى لا يستطيعون النقاوة.

⁵Cast off hath thy calf, O Samaria, Burned hath Mine anger against them, Till when are they not capable of purity?

⁶انه هو ايضا من اسرائيل. صنعه الصانع وليس هو الها. ان عجل السامرة يصير كسرا

⁶For even it [is] of Israel; an artificer made it, And it [is] not God, For the calf of Samaria is fragments!

⁷انهم يزرعون الريح ويحصدون الزوبعة. زرع ليس له غلّة لا يصنع دقيقا. وان صنع فالغرباء تبتلعه.

⁷For wind they sow, and a hurricane they reap, Stalk it hath none — a shoot not yielding grain, If so be it yield — strangers do swallow it up.

⁸قد ابتلع اسرائيل. الآن صاروا بين الامم كاناء لا مسرّة فيه.

⁸Israel hath been swallowed up, Now they have been among nations, As a vessel in which is no delight.

⁹لانهم صعدوا الى اشور مثل حمار وحشي معتزل بنفسه. استأجر افرايم محبين.

⁹For they — they have gone up [to] Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself [is] Ephraim, They have hired lovers!

¹⁰اني وان كانوا يستأجرون بين الامم الآن اجمعهم فينفكّون قليلا من ثقل ملك الرؤساء

¹⁰Also though they hire among nations, Now I gather them, and they are pained a little, From the burden of a king of princes.

¹¹لان افرايم كثّر مذابح للخطية صارت له المذابح للخطية.

¹¹Because Ephraim did multiply altars to sin, They have been to him altars to sin.

¹²اكتب له كثرة شرائعي فهي تحسب اجنبية.

¹²I write for him numerous things of My law, As a strange thing they have been reckoned.

¹³اما ذبائح تقدماتي فيذبحون لحما وياكلون. الرب لا يرتضيها. الآن يذكر اثمهم ويعاقب خطيتهم. انهم الى مصر يرجعون.

¹³The sacrifices of Mine offerings! They sacrifice flesh, and they eat, Jehovah hath not accepted them, Now doth He remember their iniquity, And inspect their sin, They — [to] Egypt they turn back.

¹⁴وقد نسي اسرائيل صانعه وبنى قصورا وكثّر يهوذا مدنا حصينة. لكني ارسل على مدنه نارا فتأكل قصوره

¹⁴And forget doth Israel his Maker, and buildeth temples, And Judah hath multiplied cities of defence, And I have sent a fire into his cities, And it hath consumed their palaces!
