1“Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
1اسمعوا هذا ايها الكهنة وانصتوا يا بيت اسرائيل واصغوا يا بيت الملك لان عليكم القضاء اذ صرتم فخّا في مصفاة وشبكة مبسوطة على تابور
2The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them.
2وقد توغّلوا في ذبائح الزيغان فانا تأديب لجميعهم.
3I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
3انا اعرف افرايم. واسرائيل ليس مخفيا عني. انك الآن زنيت يا افرايم. قد تنجس اسرائيل.
4Their deeds won’t allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they don’t know Yahweh.
4افعالهم لا تدعهم يرجعون الى الههم لان روح الزنى في باطنهم وهم لا يعرفون الرب.
5The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
5وقد أذلّت عظمة اسرائيل في وجهه فيتعثر اسرائيل وافرايم في اثمهما ويتعثر يهوذا ايضا معهما.
6They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek Yahweh; but they won’t find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
6يذهبون بغنمهم وبقرهم ليطلبوا الرب ولا يجدونه. قد تنحى عنهم.
7They are unfaithful to Yahweh; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
7قد غدروا بالرب. لانهم ولدوا اولادا اجنبيين. الآن يأكلهم شهر مع انصبتهم
8“Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
8اضربوا بالبوق في جبعة بالقرن في الرامة. اصرخوا في بيت آون. وراءك يا بنيامين.
9Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
9يصير افرايم خرابا في يوم التأديب. في اسباط اسرائيل اعلمت اليقين.
10The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
10صارت رؤساء يهوذا كناقلي التخوم فاسكب عليهم سخطي كالماء.
11Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
11افرايم مظلوم مسحوق القضاء لانه ارتضى ان يمضي وراء الوصية.
12Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
12فانا لافرايم كالعث ولبيت يهوذا كالسوس
13“When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
13ورأى افرايم مرضه ويهوذا جرحه فمضى افرايم الى اشور وارسل الى ملك عدو ولكنه لا يستطيع ان يشفيكم ولا ان يزيل منكم الجرح.
14For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
14لاني لافرايم كالاسد ولبيت يهوذا كشبل الاسد فاني انا افترس وامضي آخذ ولا منقذ.
15I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
15اذهب وارجع الى مكاني حتى يجازوا ويطلبوا وجهي. في ضيقهم يبكرون اليّ
