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