Michea (ميخا) 7

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 ويل لي لاني صرت كجنى الصيف كخصاصة القطاف لا عنقود للأكل ولا باكورة تينة اشتهتها نفسي.	1 Alas! I am as when the fruit is gathered, as when the vines have been gleaned; There is no cluster to eat, no early fig that I crave.
2 قد باد التقي من الارض وليس مستقيم بين الناس. جميعهم يكمنون للدماء يصطادون بعضهم بعضا بشبكة.	2 The faithful are gone from the earth, among men the upright are no more! They all lie in wait to shed blood, each one ensnares the other.
3 اليدان الى الشر مجتهدتان. الرئيس طالب والقاضي بالهدية والكبير متكلم بهوى نفسه فيعكّشونها.	3 Their hands succeed at evil; the prince makes demands, The judge is had for a price, The great man speaks as he pleases,
4 احسنهم مثل العوسج واعدلهم من سياج الشوك. يوم مراقبيك عقابك قد جاء. الآن يكون ارتباكهم	4 The best of them is like a brier, the most upright like a thorn hedge. The day announced by your watchmen! your punishment has come; now is the time of your confusion.
5 لا تأتمنوا صاحبا لا تثقوا بصديق. احفظ ابواب فمك عن المضطجعة في حضنك.	5 Put no trust in a friend, have no confidence in a companion; Against her who lies in your bosom guard the portals of your mouth.
6 لان الابن مستهين بالأب والبنت قائمة على امها والكنة على حماتها واعداء الانسان اهل بيته	6 For the son dishonors his father, the daughter rises up against her mother, The daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a man's enemies are those of his household.
7 ولكنني اراقب الرب اصبر لاله خلاصي. يسمعني الهي.	7 But as for me, I will look to the LORD, I will put my trust in God my savior; my God will hear me!
8 لا تشمتي بي يا عدوّتي. اذا سقطت اقوم. اذا جلست في الظلمة فالرب نور لي.	8 Rejoice not over me, O my enemy! though I have fallen, I will arise; though 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 The wrath of the LORD I will endure because I have sinned against him, Until he takes up my cause, and establishes my right. He will bring me forth to the light; I will see his justice.
10 وترى عدوتي فيغطيها الخزي القائلة لي اين هو الرب الهك. عيناي ستنظران اليها. الآن تصير للدوس كطين الأزقة	10 When my enemy sees this, shame shall cover her: She who said to me, "Where is the LORD, thy God?" My eyes shall see her downfall; now shall she be trampled underfoot, like the mire in the streets.
11 يوم بناء حيطانك ذلك اليوم يبعد الميعاد.	11 It is the day for building your walls; on that day the boundary shall be taken away.
12 هو يوم يأتون اليك من اشور ومدن مصر ومن مصر الى النهر. ومن البحر الى البحر. ومن الجبل الى الجبل.	12 It is the day; and they shall come to you from Assyria and from Egypt, From Tyre even to the River, 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 a waste because of its citizens, as a result of their deeds.
14 ارع بعصاك شعبك غنم ميراثك ساكنة وحدها في وعر في وسط الكرمل. لترع في باشان وجلعاد كايام القدم.	14 Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, That dwells apart in a woodland, in the midst of Carmel. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old;
15 كايام خروجك من ارض مصر أريه عجائب.	15 As in the days when you came from the land of Egypt, show us wonderful signs.
16 ينظر الامم ويخجلون من كل بطشهم. يضعون ايديهم على افواههم وتصمّ آذانهم.	16 The nations shall behold and be put to shame, in spite of all their strength; They shall put their hands over their mouths; their ears shall become 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 the serpent, like reptiles on the ground; They shall come quaking from their fastnesses, trembling in fear of you (the LORD, our God).
18 من هو اله مثلك غافر الاثم وصافح عن الذنب لبقية ميراثه. لا يحفظ الى الابد غضبه فانه يسرّ بالرأفة.	18 Who is there like you, the God who removes guilt and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance; Who does not persist in anger forever, but delights rather in clemency,
19 يعود يرحمنا يدوس آثامنا وتطرح في اعماق البحر جميع خطاياهم.	19 And will again have compassion on us, treading underfoot our guilt? You will cast into the depths of the sea all our sins;
20 تصنع الامانة ليعقوب والرأفة لابراهيم اللتين حلفت لآبائنا منذ ايام القدم	20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob, and grace to Abraham, As you have sworn to our fathers from days of old.
