Michea (ميخا) 7

SMITH VAN DYKE	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 ويل لي لاني صرت كجنى الصيف كخصاصة القطاف لا عنقود للأكل ولا باكورة تينة اشتهتها نفسي.	1 Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
2 قد باد التقي من الارض وليس مستقيم بين الناس. جميعهم يكمنون للدماء يصطادون بعضهم بعضا بشبكة.	2 The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
3 اليدان الى الشر مجتهدتان. الرئيس طالب والقاضي بالهدية والكبير متكلم بهوى نفسه فيعكّشونها.	3 The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
4 احسنهم مثل العوسج واعدلهم من سياج الشوك. يوم مراقبيك عقابك قد جاء. الآن يكون ارتباكهم	4 He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
5 لا تأتمنوا صاحبا لا تثقوا بصديق. احفظ ابواب فمك عن المضطجعة في حضنك.	5 Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
6 لان الابن مستهين بالأب والبنت قائمة على امها والكنة على حماتها واعداء الانسان اهل بيته	6 For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man's enemies are they of his own household.
7 ولكنني اراقب الرب اصبر لاله خلاصي. يسمعني الهي.	7 But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
8 لا تشمتي بي يا عدوّتي. اذا سقطت اقوم. اذا جلست في الظلمة فالرب نور لي.	8 Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
9 احتمل غضب الرب لاني اخطأت اليه حتى يقيم دعواي ويجري حقي. سيخرجني الى النور سانظر برّه.	9 I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
10 وترى عدوتي فيغطيها الخزي القائلة لي اين هو الرب الهك. عيناي ستنظران اليها. الآن تصير للدوس كطين الأزقة	10 And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
11 يوم بناء حيطانك ذلك اليوم يبعد الميعاد.	11 The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
12 هو يوم يأتون اليك من اشور ومدن مصر ومن مصر الى النهر. ومن البحر الى البحر. ومن الجبل الى الجبل.	12 In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
13 ولكن تصير الارض خربة بسبب سكانها من اجل ثمر افعالهم	13 And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
14 ارع بعصاك شعبك غنم ميراثك ساكنة وحدها في وعر في وسط الكرمل. لترع في باشان وجلعاد كايام القدم.	14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
15 كايام خروجك من ارض مصر أريه عجائب.	15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
16 ينظر الامم ويخجلون من كل بطشهم. يضعون ايديهم على افواههم وتصمّ آذانهم.	16 The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
17 يلحسون التراب كالحية. كزواحف الارض يخرجون بالرعدة من حصونهم يأتون بالرعب الى الرب الهنا ويخافون منك	17 They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
18 من هو اله مثلك غافر الاثم وصافح عن الذنب لبقية ميراثه. لا يحفظ الى الابد غضبه فانه يسرّ بالرأفة.	18 Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
19 يعود يرحمنا يدوس آثامنا وتطرح في اعماق البحر جميع خطاياهم.	19 He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
20 تصنع الامانة ليعقوب والرأفة لابراهيم اللتين حلفت لآبائنا منذ ايام القدم	20 Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
