Hosea 4

DOUAI-RHEIMS	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel, for the Lord shall enter into judgment with the inhabitants of the land: for there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God in the land.	1 اسمعوا قول الرب يا بني اسرائيل. ان للرب محاكمة مع سكان الارض لانه لا امانة ولا احسان ولا معرفة الله في الارض.
2 Cursing, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and blood hath touched blood.	2 لعن وكذب وقتل وسرقة وفسق. يعتنفون ودماء تلحق دماء.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth in it shall languish with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air: yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be gathered together.	3 لذلك تنوح الارض ويذبل كل من يسكن فيها مع حيوان البرية وطيور السماء واسماك البحر ايضا تنتزع
4 But yet let not any man judge: and let not a man be rebuked: for thy people are as they that contradict the priest.	4 ولكن لا يحاكم احد ولا يعاتب احد. وشعبك كمن يخاصم كاهنا.
5 And thou shalt fall to day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee: in the night I have made thy mother to be silent.	5 فتتعثر في النهار ويتعثر ايضا النبي معك في الليل وانا اخرب امّك.
6 My people have been silent, because they had no knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will reject thee, that thou shalt not do the office of priesthood to me: and thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I also will forget thy children.	6 قد هلك شعبي من عدم المعرفة. لانك انت رفضت المعرفة ارفضك انا حتى لا تكهن لي. ولانك نسيت شريعة الهك انسى انا ايضا بنيك.
7 According to the multitude of them so have they sinned against me: I will change their glory into shame.	7 على حسبما كثروا هكذا اخطأوا اليّ فابدل كرامتهم بهوان.
8 They shall eat the sins of my people, and shall lift up their souls to their iniquity.	8 يأكلون خطية شعبي والى اثمهم يحملون نفوسهم.
9 And there shall be like people like priest: and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them their devices.	9 فيكون كما الشعب هكذا الكاهن واعاقبهم على طرقهم وارد اعمالهم عليهم.
10 And they shall eat and shall not be filled: they have committed fornication, and have not ceased: because they have forsaken the Lord in not observing his law.	10 فيأكلون ولا يشبعون ويزنون ولا يكثرون لانهم قد تركوا عبادة الرب.
11 Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness take away the understanding.	11 الزنى والخمر والسلافة تخلب القلب.
12 My people have consulted their stocks, and their staff hath declared unto them: for the spirit of fornication hath deceived them, and they have committed fornication against their God.	12 شعبي يسأل خشبه وعصاه تخبره لان روح الزنى قد اضلّهم فزنوا من تحت الههم.
13 They offered sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burnt incense upon the hills: under the oak, and the poplar, and the turpentine tree, because the shadow thereof was good: therefore shall your daughters commit fornication, and your spouses shall be adulteresses.	13 يذبحون على رؤوس الجبال ويبخرون على التلال تحت البلوط واللبنى والبطم لان ظلها حسن. لذلك تزني بناتكم وتفسق كنّاتكم.
14 I will not visit upon your daughters when they shell commit fornication, and upon your spouses when they shall commit adultery: because themselves conversed with harlots, and offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and the people that doth not understand shall be beaten.	14 لا اعاقب بناتكم لانهنّ يزنين ولا كنّاتكم لانهنّ يفسقن. لانهم يعتزلون مع الزانيات ويذبحون مع الناذرات الزنى. وشعب لا يعقل يصرع
15 If thou play the harlot, O Israel, at least let not Juda offend: and go ye not into Galgal, and come not up into Bethaven, and do not swear: The Lord liveth.	15 ان كنت انت زانيا يا اسرائيل فلا يأثم يهوذا. ولا تأتوا الى الجلجال ولا تصعدوا الى بيت آون ولا تحلفوا حيّ هو الرب.
16 For Israel hath gone astray like a wanton heifer: now will the Lord feed them, as a lamb in a spacious place.	16 انه قد جمح اسرائيل كبقرة جامحة. الآن يرعاهم الرب كخروف في مكان واسع.
17 Ephraim is a partaker with idols, let him alone.	17 افرايم موثق بالاصنام. اتركوه.
18 Their banquet is separated, they have gone astray by fornication: they that should have protected them have loved to bring shame upon them.	18 متى انتهت منادمتهم زنوا زنى. احب مجانّها احبوا الهوان.
19 The wind hath bound them up in its wings, and they shall be confounded because of their sacrifices.	19 قد صرّتها الريح في اجنحتها وخجلوا من ذبائحهم
