Hosea 12

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Ephraim has surrounded me with lies, the house of Israel, with deceit; Judah is still rebellious against God, against the Holy One, who is faithful.	1 افرايم راعي الريح وتابع الريح الشرقية. كل يوم يكثر الكذب والاغتصاب ويقطعون مع اشور عهدا والزيت الى مصر يجلب.
2 Ephraim chases the wind, ever pursuing the gale. His lies and falsehoods are many: he comes to terms with Assyria, and carries oil to Egypt.	2 فللرب خصام مع يهوذا وهو مزمع ان يعاقب يعقوب بحسب طرقه. بحسب افعاله يرد عليه
3 The LORD has a grievance against Israel: he shall punish Jacob for his conduct, for his deeds he shall repay him.	3 في البطن قبض بعقب اخيه وبقوّته جاهد مع الله.
4 In the womb he supplanted his brother, and as a man he contended with God;	4 جاهد مع الملاك وغلب. بكى واسترحمه. وجده في بيت ايل وهناك تكلم معنا.
5 He contended with the angel and triumphed, entreating him with tears. At Bethel he met God and there he spoke with him:	5 والرب اله الجنود يهوه اسمه.
6 The LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD is his name!	6 وانت فارجع الى الهك. احفظ الرحمة والحق وانتظر الهك دائما
7 You shall return by the help of your God, if you remain loyal and do right and always hope in your God.	7 مثل الكنعاني في يده موازين الغش. يحب ان يظلم.
8 A merchant who holds a false balance, who loves to defraud!	8 فقال افرايم اني صرت غنيا. وجدت لنفسي ثروة. جميع اتعابي لا يجدون لي فيها ذنبا هو خطية.
9 Though Ephraim says, "How rich I have become; I have made a fortune!" All his gain shall not suffice him for the guilt of his sin.	9 وانا الرب الهك من ارض مصر حتى اسكنك الخيام كايام الموسم.
10 I am the LORD, your God, since the land of Egypt; I will again have you live in tents, as in that appointed time.	10 وكلّمت الانبياء وكثّرت الرؤى وبيد الانبياء مثّلت امثالا.
11 I granted many visions and spoke to the prophets, through whom I set forth examples.	11 انهم في جلعاد قد صاروا اثما بطلا لا غير. في الجلجال ذبحوا ثيرانا ومذابحهم كرجم في اتلام الحقل.
12 In Gilead is falsehood, they have come to nought, in Gilgal they sacrifice to bullocks; Their altars are like heaps of stones in the furrows of the field.	12 وهرب يعقوب الى صحراء ارام وخدم اسرائيل لاجل امرأة ولاجل امرأة رعى
13 When Jacob fled to the land of Aram, he served for a wife; for a wife Israel tended sheep.	13 وبنبيّ اصعد الرب اسرائيل من مصر وبنبيّ‎حفظ.
14 By a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet they were protected.	14 اغاظه اسرائيل بمرارة فيترك دماءه عليه ويردّ سيده عاره عليه
15 Ephraim has exasperated his lord; therefore he shall cast his blood-guilt upon him and repay him for his outrage.
