1أبر انت يا رب من ان اخاصمك. لكن اكلمك من جهة احكامك. لماذا تنجح طريق الاشرار. اطمأن كل الغادرين غدرا.
1Righteous art thou, O Jehovah, when I contend with thee; yet would I reason the cause with thee: wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they at ease that deal very treacherously?
2غرستهم فاصّلوا نموا واثمروا ثمرا. انت قريب في فمهم وبعيد من كلاهم.
2Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit: thou art near in their mouth, and far from their heart.
3وانت يا رب عرفتني رأيتني واختبرت قلبي من جهتك. افرزهم كغنم للذبح وخصصهم ليوم القتل.
3But thou, O Jehovah, knowest me; thou seest me, and triest my heart toward thee: pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
4حتى متى تنوح الارض وييبس عشب كل الحقل. من شر الساكنين فيها فنيت البهائم والطيور لانهم قالوا لا يرى آخرتنا.
4How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.
5ان جريت مع المشاة فاتعبوك فكيف تباري الخيل. وان كنت منبطحا في ارض السلام فكيف تعمل في كبرياء الاردن.
5If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the pride of the Jordan?
6لان اخوتك انفسهم وبيت ابيك قد غادروك هم ايضا. هم ايضا نادوا وراءك بصوت عال. لا تأتمنهم اذا كلموك بالخير
6For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee; even they have cried aloud after thee: believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.
7قد تركت بيتي رفضت ميراثي دفعت حبيبة نفسي ليد اعدائها.
7I have forsaken my house, I have cast off my heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of my soul into the hand of her enemies.
8صار لي ميراثي كاسد في الوعر. نطق علي بصوته. من اجل ذلك ابغضته.
8My heritage is become unto me as a lion in the forest: she hath uttered her voice against me; therefore I have hated her.
9جارحة ضبع ميراثي لي. الجوارح حواليه عليه. هلم اجمعوا كل حيوان الحقل. ايتوا بها للاكل.
9Is my heritage unto me as a speckled bird of prey? are the birds of prey against her round about? go ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.
10رعاة كثيرون افسدوا كرمي داسوا نصيبي جعلوا نصيبي المشتهى برية خربة.
10Many shepherds have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden my portion under foot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
11جعلوه خرابا ينوح عليّ وهو خرب. خربت كل الارض لانه لا احد يضع في قلبه.
11They have made it a desolation; it mourneth unto me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.
12على جميع الروابي في البرية اتى الناهبون لان سيفا للرب يأكل من اقصى الارض الى اقصى الارض. ليس سلام لاحد من البشر.
12Destroyers are come upon all the bare heights in the wilderness; for the sword of Jehovah devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land: no flesh hath peace.
13زرعوا حنطة وحصدوا شوكا. اعيوا ولم ينتفعوا بل خزوا من غلاتكم من حمو غضب الرب
13They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, and profit nothing: and ye shall be ashamed of your fruits, because of the fierce anger of Jehovah.
14هكذا قال الرب على جميع جيراني الاشرار الذين يلمسون الميراث الذي اورثته لشعبي اسرائيل هانذا اقتلعهم عن ارضهم واقتلع بيت يهوذا من وسطهم.
14Thus saith Jehovah against all mine evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them.
15ويكون بعد اقتلاعي اياهم اني ارجع فارحمهم واردهم كل واحد الى ميراثه وكل واحد الى ارضه.
15And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will return and have compassion on them; and I will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16ويكون اذا تعلموا علما طرق شعبي ان يحلفوا باسمي حيّ هو الرب كما علّموا شعبي ان يحلفوا ببعل انهم يبنون في وسط شعبي.
16And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people, to swear by my name, As Jehovah liveth; even as they taught my people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.
17وان لم يسمعوا فاني اقتلع تلك الامة اقتلاعا وابيدها يقول الرب
17But if they will not hear, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith Jehovah.
