Michea (ميخا) 3

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 وقلت اسمعوا يا رؤساء يعقوب وقضاة بيت اسرائيل. أليس لكم ان تعرفوا الحق.	1 And I said: Hear, O ye princes of Jacob, and ye chiefs of the house of Israel: Is it not your part to know judgment,
2 المبغضين الخير والمحبين الشر النازعين جلودهم عنهم ولحمهم عن عظامهم.	2 You that hate good, and love evil: that violently pluck off their skins from them, and their flesh from their bones?
3 والذين ياكلون لحم شعبي ويكشطون جلدهم عنهم ويهشمون عظامهم ويشققون كما في القدر وكاللحم في وسط المقلى.	3 Who have eaten the flesh of my people, and have flayed their skin from off them: and have broken, and chopped their bones as for the kettle, and as flesh in the midst of the pot.
4 حينئذ يصرخون الى الرب فلا يجيبهم بل يستر وجهه عنهم في ذلك الوقت كما اساءوا اعمالهم	4 Then shall they cry to the Lord, and he will not hear them: and he will hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved wickedly in their devices.
5 هكذا قال الرب على الانبياء الذين يضلّون شعبي الذين ينهشون باسنانهم وينادون سلام. والذي لا يجعل في افواههم شيئا يفتحون عليه حربا.	5 Thus saith the Lord concerning the prophets that make my people err: that bite with their teeth, and preach peace: and if a man give not something into their mouth, they prepare war against him.
6 لذلك تكون لكم ليلة بلا رؤيا. ظلام لكم بدون عرافة. وتغيب الشمس عن الانبياء ويظلم عليهم النهار.	6 Therefore night shall be to you instead of vision, and darkness to you instead of divination; and the sun shall go down upon the prophets, and the day shall be darkened over them.
7 فيخزى الراؤون ويخجل العرافون ويغطّون كلهم شواربهم لانه ليس جواب من الله.	7 And they shall be confounded that see visions, and the diviners shall be confounded: and they shall all cover their faces, because there is no answer of God.
8 لكنني انا ملآن قوّة روح الرب وحقا وبأسا لاخبر يعقوب بذنبه واسرائيل بخطيته	8 But yet I am filled with the strength of the spirit of the Lord, with judgment, and power: to declare unto Jacob his wickedness, and to Israel his sin.
9 اسمعوا هذا يا رؤساء بيت يعقوب وقضاة بيت اسرائيل الذين يكرهون الحق ويعوّجون كل مستقيم.	9 Hear this, ye princes of the house of Jacob, and ye judges of the house of Israel: you that abhor judgment, and pervert all that is right.
10 الذين يبنون صهيون بالدماء واورشليم بالظلم.	10 You that build up Sion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
11 رؤساؤها يقضون بالرشوة وكهنتها يعلّمون بالأجرة وانبياؤها يعرفون بالفضة وهم يتوكلون على الرب قائلين أليس الرب في وسطنا. لا يأتي علينا شر.	11 Her princes have judged for bribes, and her priests have taught for hire, and her prophets divined for money: and they leaned upon the Lord, saying: Is not the Lord in the midst of us? no evil shall come upon us.
12 لذلك بسببكم تفلح صهيون كحقل وتصير اورشليم خربا وجبل البيت شوامخ وعر	12 Therefore, because of you, Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall be as a heap of stones, and the mountain of the temple as the high places of the forests.
