1Hear the word of Yahweh, you children of Israel; for Yahweh has a charge against the inhabitants of the land: “Indeed there is no truth, nor goodness, 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.
2There is cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and committing adultery; they break boundaries, and bloodshed causes bloodshed.
2لعن وكذب وقتل وسرقة وفسق. يعتنفون ودماء تلحق دماء.
3Therefore the land will mourn, and everyone who dwells therein will waste away. all living things in her, even the animals of the field and the birds of the sky; yes, the fish of the sea also die.
3لذلك تنوح الارض ويذبل كل من يسكن فيها مع حيوان البرية وطيور السماء واسماك البحر ايضا تنتزع
4“Yet let no man bring a charge, neither let any man accuse; For your people are like those who bring charges against a priest.
4ولكن لا يحاكم احد ولا يعاتب احد. وشعبك كمن يخاصم كاهنا.
5You will stumble in the day, and the prophet will also stumble with you in the night; and I will destroy your mother.
5فتتعثر في النهار ويتعثر ايضا النبي معك في الليل وانا اخرب امّك.
6My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God’s law, I will also forget your 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 multiplied, so they sinned against me. I will change their glory into shame.
7على حسبما كثروا هكذا اخطأوا اليّ فابدل كرامتهم بهوان.
8They feed on the sin of my people, and set their heart on their iniquity.
8يأكلون خطية شعبي والى اثمهم يحملون نفوسهم.
9It will be, like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and will repay them for their deeds.
9فيكون كما الشعب هكذا الكاهن واعاقبهم على طرقهم وارد اعمالهم عليهم.
10They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned giving to Yahweh.
10فيأكلون ولا يشبعون ويزنون ولا يكثرون لانهم قد تركوا عبادة الرب.
11Prostitution, wine, and new wine take away understanding.
11الزنى والخمر والسلافة تخلب القلب.
12My people consult with their wooden idol, and answer to a stick of wood. Indeed the spirit of prostitution has led them astray, and they have been unfaithful to their God.
12شعبي يسأل خشبه وعصاه تخبره لان روح الزنى قد اضلّهم فزنوا من تحت الههم.
13They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinths, because its shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the prostitute, and your brides 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 play the prostitute, nor your brides when they commit adultery; because the men consort with prostitutes, and they sacrifice with the shrine prostitutes; so the people without understanding will come to ruin.
14لا اعاقب بناتكم لانهنّ يزنين ولا كنّاتكم لانهنّ يفسقن. لانهم يعتزلون مع الزانيات ويذبحون مع الناذرات الزنى. وشعب لا يعقل يصرع
15“Though you, Israel, play the prostitute, yet don’t let Judah offend; and don’t come to Gilgal, neither go up to Beth Aven, nor swear, ‘As Yahweh lives.’
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 has behaved extremely stubbornly, like a stubborn heifer. Then how will Yahweh feed them like a lamb in a meadow.
16انه قد جمح اسرائيل كبقرة جامحة. الآن يرعاهم الرب كخروف في مكان واسع.
17Ephraim is joined to idols. Leave him alone!
17افرايم موثق بالاصنام. اتركوه.
18Their drink has become sour. They play the prostitute continually. Her rulers dearly love their shameful way.
18متى انتهت منادمتهم زنوا زنى. احب مجانّها احبوا الهوان.
19The wind has wrapped her up in its wings; and they shall be disappointed because of their sacrifices.
19قد صرّتها الريح في اجنحتها وخجلوا من ذبائحهم
