¹اسمعوا هذا ايها الكهنة وانصتوا يا بيت اسرائيل واصغوا يا بيت الملك لان عليكم القضاء اذ صرتم فخّا في مصفاة وشبكة مبسوطة على تابور

¹Hear this, ye priests; and hearken, ye house of Israel; and give ear, O house of the king: for this judgment is for you; for ye have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.

²وقد توغّلوا في ذبائح الزيغان فانا تأديب لجميعهم.

²And they have plunged themselves in the corruption of apostasy, but I will be a chastiser of them all.

³انا اعرف افرايم. واسرائيل ليس مخفيا عني. انك الآن زنيت يا افرايم. قد تنجس اسرائيل.

³I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, Ephraim, thou hast committed whoredom; Israel is defiled.

⁴افعالهم لا تدعهم يرجعون الى الههم لان روح الزنى في باطنهم وهم لا يعرفون الرب.

⁴Their doings do not allow them to return unto their God; for the spirit of whoredoms is in the midst of them, and they know not Jehovah.

⁵وقد أذلّت عظمة اسرائيل في وجهه فيتعثر اسرائيل وافرايم في اثمهما ويتعثر يهوذا ايضا معهما.

⁵And Israel's pride doth testify to his face; and Israel and Ephraim shall fall by their iniquity: Judah also shall fall with them.

⁶يذهبون بغنمهم وبقرهم ليطلبوا الرب ولا يجدونه. قد تنحى عنهم.

⁶They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Jehovah; but they shall not find [him]: he hath withdrawn himself from them.

⁷قد غدروا بالرب. لانهم ولدوا اولادا اجنبيين. الآن يأكلهم شهر مع انصبتهم

⁷They have dealt treacherously against Jehovah; for they have begotten strange children: now shall the new moon devour them, with their allotted possessions.

⁸اضربوا بالبوق في جبعة بالقرن في الرامة. اصرخوا في بيت آون. وراءك يا بنيامين.

⁸Blow the horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud [at] Beth-aven: behind thee, O Benjamin!

⁹يصير افرايم خرابا في يوم التأديب. في اسباط اسرائيل اعلمت اليقين.

⁹Ephraim shall be a desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel have I made known that which is sure.

¹⁰صارت رؤساء يهوذا كناقلي التخوم فاسكب عليهم سخطي كالماء.

¹⁰The princes of Judah are become like them that remove the landmark: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.

¹¹افرايم مظلوم مسحوق القضاء لانه ارتضى ان يمضي وراء الوصية.

¹¹Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, because in selfwill he walked after the commandment [of man].

¹²فانا لافرايم كالعث ولبيت يهوذا كالسوس

¹²And I will be unto Ephraim as a moth, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

¹³ورأى افرايم مرضه ويهوذا جرحه فمضى افرايم الى اشور وارسل الى ملك عدو ولكنه لا يستطيع ان يشفيكم ولا ان يزيل منكم الجرح.

¹³When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his sore, then went Ephraim to the Assyrian, and sent to king Jareb; but he was unable to heal you, nor hath he removed your sore.

¹⁴لاني لافرايم كالاسد ولبيت يهوذا كشبل الاسد فاني انا افترس وامضي آخذ ولا منقذ.

¹⁴For I will be unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the house of Judah. I, I will tear and go away; I will carry off, and there shall be none to deliver.

¹⁵اذهب وارجع الى مكاني حتى يجازوا ويطلبوا وجهي. في ضيقهم يبكرون اليّ

¹⁵I will go away, I will return to my place, till they acknowledge their trespass, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me early.
