Osea (هوشع) 7

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 حينما كنت اشفي اسرائيل أعلن اثم افرايم وشرور السامرة فانهم قد صنعوا غشا. السارق دخل والغزاة نهبوا في الخارج.	1 When I would bring about the restoration of my people, when I would heal Israel, The guilt of Ephraim stands out, the wickedness of Samaria; They practice falsehood, thieves break in, bandits plunder abroad.
2 ولا يفتكرون في قلوبهم اني قد تذكرت كل شرهم. الآن قد احاطت بهم افعالهم. صارت امام وجهي	2 Yet they do not remind themselves that I remember all their wickedness. Even now their crimes surround them, present to my sight.
3 بشرّهم يفرّحون الملك وبكذبهم الرؤساء.	3 In their wickedness they regale the king, the princes too, with their deceits.
4 كلهم فاسقون كتنور محمى من الخباز. يبطّل الايقاد من وقتما يعجن العجين الى ان يختمر.	4 They are all kindled to wrath like a blazing oven, Whose fire the baker desists from stirring once the dough is kneaded until it has risen.
5 يوم ملكنا يمرض الرؤساء من سورة الخمر. يبسط يده مع المستهزئين.	5 On the day of our king, the princes are overcome with the heat of wine. He extends his hand among dissemblers;
6 لانهم يقربون قلوبهم في مكيدتهم كالتنور. كل الليل ينام خبازهم وفي الصباح يكون محمى كنار ملتهبة.	6 the plotters approach with hearts like ovens. All the night their anger sleeps; in the morning it flares like a blazing fire.
7 كلهم حامون كالتنور واكلوا قضاتهم. جميع ملوكهم سقطوا. ليس بينهم من يدعو اليّ	7 They are all heated like ovens, and consume their rulers. All their kings have fallen; none of them calls upon me.
8 افرايم يختلط بالشعوب. افرايم صار خبز ملّة لم يقلب.	8 Ephraim mingles with the nations, Ephraim is a hearth cake unturned.
9 اكل الغرباء ثروته وهو لا يعرف وقد رشّ عليه الشيب وهو لا يعرف.	9 Strangers have sapped his strength, but he takes no notice of it; Of gray hairs, too, there is a sprinkling, but he takes no notice of it.
10 وقد أذلّت عظمة اسرائيل في وجهه وهم لا يرجعون الى الرب الههم ولا يطلبونه مع كل هذا.	10 The arrogance of Israel bears witness against him; yet they do not return to the LORD, their God, nor seek him, for all that.
11 وصار افرايم كحمامة رعناء بلا قلب. يدعون مصر. يمضون الى اشور.	11 Ephraim is like a dove, silly and senseless; They call upon Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 عندما يمضون ابسط عليهم شبكتي. القيهم كطيور السماء. أودّبهم بحسب خبر جماعتهم	12 Even as they go I will spread my net around them, like birds in the air I will bring them down. In an instant I will send them captive from their land.
13 ويل لهم لانهم هربوا عني. تبّا لهم لانهم اذنبوا اليّ. انا افديهم وهم تكلموا عليّ بكذب.	13 Woe to them, they have strayed from me! Ruin to them, they have sinned against me! Though I wished to redeem them, they spoke lies against me.
14 ولا يصرخون اليّ بقلوبهم حينما يولولون على مضاجعهم. يتجمعون لاجل القمح والخمر ويرتدّون عني.	14 They have not cried to me from their hearts when they wailed upon their beds; For wheat and wine they lacerated themselves, while they rebelled against me.
15 وانا انذرتهم وشددت اذرعهم وهم يفكرون عليّ بالشر.	15 Though I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devised evil against me.
16 يرجعون ليس الى العلي. قد صاروا كقوس مخطئة. يسقط رؤساؤهم بالسيف من اجل سخط ألسنتهم. هذا هزؤهم في ارض مصر	16 They have again become useless, like a treacherous bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongues; thus they shall be mocked in the land of Egypt.
