1 ويل للمفتكرين بالبطل والصانعين الشر على مضاجعهم. في نور الصباح يفعلونه لانه في قدرة يدهم. | 1 Woe to you that devise that which is unprofitable, and work evil in your beds: in the morning light they execute it, because their hand is against God. |
2 فانهم يشتهون الحقول ويغتصبونها والبيوت ويأخذونها ويظلمون الرجل وبيته والانسان وميراثه. | 2 And they have coveted fields, and taken them by violence, and houses they have forcibly taken away: and oppressed a man and his house, a man and his inheritance. |
3 لذلك هكذا قال الرب. هانذا افتكر على هذه العشيرة بشر لا تزيلون منه اعناقكم ولا تسلكون بالتشامخ لانه زمان رديء | 3 Therefore thus saith the Lord : Behold, I devise an evil against this family: from which you shall not withdraw your necks, and you shall not walk haughtily, for this is a very evil time. |
4 في ذلك اليوم ينطق عليكم بهجو ويرثى بمرثاة ويقال خربنا خرابا. بدل نصيب شعبي. كيف ينزعه عني. يقسم للمرتدّ حقولنا. | 4 In that day a parable shall be taken up upon you, and a song shall be sung with melody by them that say: We are laid waste and spoiled: the portion of my people is changed: how shall he depart from me, whereas he is returning that will divide our land? |
5 لذلك لا يكون لك من يلقي حبلا في نصيب بين جماعة الرب | 5 Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast the cord of a lot in the assembly of the Lord. |
6 يتنبأون قائلين لا تتنبأوا. لا يتنبأون عن هذه الأمور لا يزول العار | 6 Speak ye not, saying: It shall not drop upon these, confusion shall not take them. |
7 ايها المسمى بيت يعقوب هل قصرت روح الرب. أهذه افعاله. أليست اقوالي صالحة نحو من يسلك بالاستقامة. | 7 The house of Jacob saith: Is the spirit of the Lord straitened, or are these his thoughts? Are not my words good to him that walketh uprightly? |
8 ولكن بالامس قام شعبي كعدوّ. تنزعون الرداء عن الثوب من المجتازين بالطمأنينة ومن الراجعين من القتال. | 8 But my people, on the contrary, are risen up as an enemy: you have taken away the cloak off from the coat: and them that passed harmless you have turned to war. |
9 تطردون نساء شعبي من بيت تنعّمهنّ تاخذون عن اطفالهنّ زينتي الى الابد | 9 You have cast out the women of my people from their houses, in which they took delight: you have taken my praise for ever from their children. |
10 قوموا واذهبوا لانه ليست هذه هي الراحة. من اجل نجاسة تهلك والهلاك شديد. | 10 Arise ye, and depart, for there is no rest here for you. For that uncleanness of the land, it shall be corrupted with a grievous corruption. |
11 لو كان احد وهو سالك بالريح والكذب يكذب قائلا اتنبأ لك عن الخمر والمسكر لكان هو نبيّ هذا الشعب | 11 Would God I were not a man that hath the spirit, and that I rather spoke a lie: I will let drop to thee of wine, and of drunkenness: and it shall be this people upon whom it shall drop. |
12 اني اجمع جميعك يا يعقوب. اضمّ بقية اسرائيل. اضعهم معا كغنم الحظيرة كقطيع في وسط مرعاه يضجّ من الناس. | 12 I will assemble and gather together all of thee, O Jacob: I will bring together the remnant of Israel, I will put them together as a flock in the fold, as the sheep in the midst of the sheepcotes, they shall make a tumult by reason of the multitude of men. |
13 قد صعد الفاتك امامهم. يقتحمون ويعبرون من الباب ويخرجون منه ويجتاز ملكهم امامهم والرب في راسهم | 13 For he shall go up that shall open the way before them: they shall divide, and pass through the gate, and shall come in by it: and their king shall pass before them, and the Lord at the head of them. |
