Hosea 9

لاَ تَفْرَحْ يَا إِسْرَائِيلُ طَرَبًا كَالشُّعُوبِ، لأَنَّكَ قَدْ زَنَيْتَ عَنْ إِلهِكَ. أَحْبَبْتَ الأُجْرَةَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ بَيَادِرِ الْحِنْطَةِ.

Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.

لاَ يُطْعِمُهُمُ الْبَيْدَرُ وَالْمِعْصَرَةُ، وَيَكْذِبُ عَلَيْهِمِ الْمِسْطَارُ.

The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

لاَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي أَرْضِ الرَّبِّ، بَلْ يَرْجِعُ أَفْرَايِمُ إِلَى مِصْرَ، وَيَأْكُلُونَ النَّجِسَ فِي أَشُّورَ.

They shall not dwell in the LORD'S land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

لاَ يَسْكُبُونَ لِلرَّبِّ خَمْرًا وَلاَ تَسُرُّهُ ذَبَائِحُهُمْ. إِنَّهَا لَهُمْ كَخُبْزِ الْحُزْنِ. كُلُّ مَنْ أَكَلَهُ يَتَنَجَّسُ. إِنَّ خُبْزَهُمْ لِنَفْسِهِمْ. لاَ يَدْخُلُ بَيْتَ الرَّبِّ.

They shall not offer wine offerings to the LORD, neither shall they be pleasing unto him: their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for their bread for their soul shall not come into the house of the LORD.

مَاذَا تَصْنَعُونَ فِي يَوْمِ الْمَوْسِمِ، وَفِي يَوْمِ عِيدِ الرَّبِّ؟

What will ye do in the solemn day, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ ذَهَبُوا مِنَ الْخَرَابِ. تَجْمَعُهُمْ مِصْرُ. تَدْفِنُهُمْ مُوفُ. يَرِثُ الْقَرِيصُ نَفَائِسَ فِضَّتِهِمْ. يَكُونُ الْعَوْسَجُ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ.

For, lo, they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Memphis shall bury them: the pleasant places for their silver, nettles shall possess them: thorns shall be in their tabernacles.

جَاءَتْ أَيَّامُ الْعِقَابِ. جَاءَتْ أَيَّامُ الْجَزَاءِ. سَيَعْرِفُ إِسْرَائِيلُ. اَلنَّبِيُّ أَحْمَقُ. إِنْسَانُ الرُّوحِ مَجْنُونٌ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ إِثْمِكَ وَكَثْرَةِ الْحِقْدِ.

The days of visitation are come, the days of recompence are come; Israel shall know it: the prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the great hatred.

أَفْرَايِمُ مُنْتَظَرٌ عِنْدَ إِلهِي. اَلنَّبِيُّ فَخُّ صَيَّادٍ عَلَى جَمِيعِ طُرُقِهِ. حَِقْدٌ فِي بَيْتِ إِلهِهِ.

The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.

قَدْ تَوَغَّلُوا، فَسَدُوا كَأَيَّامِ جِبْعَةَ. سَيَذْكُرُ إِثْمَهُمْ. سَيُعَاقِبُ خَطَايَاهُمْ.

They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.

«وَجَدْتُ إِسْرَائِيلَ كَعِنَبٍ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ. رَأَيْتُ آبَاءَكُمْ كَبَاكُورَةٍ عَلَى تِينَةٍ فِي أَوَّلِهَا. أَمَّا هُمْ فَجَاءُوا إِلَى بَعْلِ فَغُورَ، وَنَذَرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ لِلْخِزْيِ، وَصَارُوا رِجْسًا كَمَا أَحَبُّوا.

I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baal–peor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according as they loved.

أَفْرَايِمُ تَطِيرُ كَرَامَتُهُمْ كَطَائِرٍ مِنَ الْوِلاَدَةِ وَمِنَ الْبَطْنِ وَمِنَ الْحَبَلِ.

As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.

وَإِنْ رَبَّوْا أَوْلاَدَهُمْ أُثْكِلُهُمْ إِيَّاهُمْ حَتَّى لاَ يَكُونَ إِنْسَانٌ. وَيْلٌ لَهُمْ أَيْضًا مَتَى انْصَرَفْتُ عَنْهُمْ!

Though they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man left: yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

أَفْرَايِمُ كَمَا أَرَى كَصُورٍ مَغْرُوسٍ فِي مَرْعًى، وَلكِنَّ أَفْرَايِمَ سَيُخْرِجُ بَنِيهِ إِلَى الْقَاتِلِ».

Ephraim, as I saw Tyrus, is planted in a pleasant place: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murderer.

أَعْطِهِمْ يَا رَبُّ. مَاذَا تُعْطِي؟ أَعْطِهِمْ رَحِمًا مُسْقِطًا وَثَدْيَيْنِ يَبِسَيْنِ.

Give them, O LORD: what wilt thou give? give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

«كُلُّ شَرِّهِمْ فِي الْجِلْجَالِ. إِنِّي هُنَاكَ أَبْغَضْتُهُمْ. مِنْ أَجْلِ سُوءِ أَفْعَالِهِمْ أَطْرُدُهُمْ مِنْ بَيْتِي. لاَ أَعُودُ أُحِبُّهُمْ. جَمِيعُ رُؤَسَائِهِمْ مُتَمَرِّدُونَ.

All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

أَفْرَايِمُ مَضْرُوبٌ. أَصْلُهُمْ قَدْ جَفَّ. لاَ يَصْنَعُونَ ثَمَرًا. وَإِنْ وَلَدُوا أُمِيتُ مُشْتَهَيَاتِ بُطُونِهِمْ».

Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.

يَرْفُضُهُمْ إِلهِي لأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ، فَيَكُونُونَ تَائِهِينَ بَيْنَ الأُمَمِ.

My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
