Hosea 14

NEW AMERICAN BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Samaria shall expiate her guilt, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed to pieces, their expectant mothers shall be ripped open.	1 ارجع يا اسرائيل الى الرب الهك لانك قد تعثرت باثمك.
2 Return, O Israel, to the LORD, your God; you have collapsed through your guilt.	2 خذوا معكم كلاما وارجعوا الى الرب. قولوا له ارفع كل اثم واقبل حسنا فنقدم عجول شفاهنا.
3 Take with you words, and return to the LORD; Say to him, "Forgive all iniquity, and receive what is good, that we may render as offerings the bullocks from our stalls.	3 لا يخلّصنا اشور. لا نركب على الخيل ولا نقول ايضا لعمل ايدينا آلهتنا. انه بك يرحم اليتيم
4 Assyria will not save us, nor shall we have horses to mount; We shall say no more, 'Our god,' to the work of our hands; for in you the orphan finds compassion."	4 انا اشفي ارتدادهم. احبهم فضلا لان غضبي قد ارتد عنه.
5 I will heal their defection, I will love them freely; for my wrath is turned away from them.	5 اكون لاسرائيل كالندى. يزهر كالسوسن ويضرب اصوله كلبنان.
6 I will be like the dew for Israel: he shall blossom like the lily; He shall strike root like the Lebanon cedar,	6 تمتد خراعيبه ويكون بهاؤه كالزيتونة وله رائحة كلبنان.
7 and put forth his shoots. His splendor shall be like the olive tree and his fragrance like the Lebanon cedar.	7 يعود الساكنون في ظله يحيون حنطة ويزهرون كجفنة. يكون ذكرهم كخمر لبنان.
8 Again they shall dwell in his shade and raise grain; They shall blossom like the vine, and his fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon.	8 يقول افرايم ما لي ايضا وللاصنام. انا قد اجبت فالاحظه. انا كسروة خضراء. من قبلي يوجد ثمرك.
9 Ephraim! What more has he to do with idols? I have humbled him, but I will prosper him. "I am like a verdant cypress tree"-- Because of me you bear fruit!	9 من هو حكيم حتى يفهم هذه الأمور وفهيم حتى يعرفها. فان طرق الرب مستقيمة والابرار يسلكون فيها. واما المنافقون فيعثرون فيها
10 Let him who is wise understand these things; let him who is prudent know them. Straight are the paths of the LORD, in them the just walk, but sinners stumble in them.
