1اسرائيل جفنة ممتدّة. يخرج ثمرا لنفسه. على حسب كثرة ثمره قد كثّر المذابح. على حسب جودة ارضه اجاد الانصاب.
1Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
2قد قسموا قلوبهم. الآن يعاقبون. هو يحطم مذابحهم يخرب انصابهم.
2Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
3انهم الآن يقولون لا ملك لنا لاننا لا نخاف الرب فالملك ماذا يصنع بنا.
3Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear Yahweh; and the king, what can he do for us?”
4يتكلمون كلاما باقسام باطلة يقطعون عهدا فينبت القضاء عليهم كالعلقم في اتلام الحقل.
4They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgment springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
5على عجول بيت آون يخاف سكان السامرة. ان شعبه ينوح عليه وكهنته عليه يرتعدون على مجده لانه انتفى عنه.
5The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven; for its people will mourn over it, Along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.
6وهو ايضا يجلب الى اشور هدية لملك عدو. يأخذ افرايم خزيا ويخجل اسرائيل على رأيه.
6It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
7السامرة ملكها يبيد كغثاء على وجه الماء
7Samaria and her king float away, like a twig on the water.
8وتخرب شوامخ آون خطية اسرائيل. يطلع الشوك والحسك على مذابحهم ويقولون للجبال غطينا وللتلال اسقطي علينا
8The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”
9من ايام جبعة اخطأت يا اسرائيل. هناك وقفوا لم تدركهم في جبعة الحرب على بني الاثم.
9“Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gibeah.
10حينما اريد أودّبهم ويجتمع عليهم شعوب في ارتباطهم بإثميهم.
10When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the nations will be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.
11وافرايم عجلة متمرنة تحب الدراس ولكني اجتاز على عنقها الحسن. اركب على افرايم. يفلح يهوذا. يمهد يعقوب
11Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods.
12ازرعوا لانفسكم بالبر. احصدوا بحسب الصلاح احرثوا لانفسكم حرثا فانه وقت لطلب الرب حتى يأتي ويعلّمكم البر.
12Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek Yahweh, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
13قد حرثتم النفاق حصدتم الاثم. اكلتم ثمر الكذب. لانك وثقت بطريقك بكثرة ابطالك.
13You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
14يقوم ضجيج في شعوبك وتخرب جميع حصونك كاخراب شلمان بيت اربئيل في يوم الحرب. الام مع الاولاد حطّمت.
14Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
15هكذا تصنع بكم بيت ايل من اجل رداءة شركم. في الصبح يهلك ملك اسرائيل هلاكا
15So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
