Hosea 4

KING JAMES BIBLE	SMITH VAN DYKE
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor 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 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.	2 لعن وكذب وقتل وسرقة وفسق. يعتنفون ودماء تلحق دماء.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away.	3 لذلك تنوح الارض ويذبل كل من يسكن فيها مع حيوان البرية وطيور السماء واسماك البحر ايضا تنتزع
4 Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another: for thy people are as they that strive with the priest.	4 ولكن لا يحاكم احد ولا يعاتب احد. وشعبك كمن يخاصم كاهنا.
5 Therefore shalt thou fall in the day, and the prophet also shall fall with thee in the night, and I will destroy thy mother.	5 فتتعثر في النهار ويتعثر ايضا النبي معك في الليل وانا اخرب امّك.
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also 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 As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame.	7 على حسبما كثروا هكذا اخطأوا اليّ فابدل كرامتهم بهوان.
8 They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.	8 يأكلون خطية شعبي والى اثمهم يحملون نفوسهم.
9 And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings.	9 فيكون كما الشعب هكذا الكاهن واعاقبهم على طرقهم وارد اعمالهم عليهم.
10 For they shall eat, and not have enough: they shall commit whoredom, and shall not increase: because they have left off to take heed to the LORD.	10 فيأكلون ولا يشبعون ويزنون ولا يكثرون لانهم قد تركوا عبادة الرب.
11 Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.	11 الزنى والخمر والسلافة تخلب القلب.
12 My people ask counsel at their stocks, and their staff declareth unto them: for the spirit of whoredoms hath caused them to err, and they have gone a whoring from under their God.	12 شعبي يسأل خشبه وعصاه تخبره لان روح الزنى قد اضلّهم فزنوا من تحت الههم.
13 They sacrifice upon the tops of the mountains, and burn incense upon the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because the shadow thereof is good: therefore your daughters shall commit whoredom, and your spouses shall commit adultery.	13 يذبحون على رؤوس الجبال ويبخرون على التلال تحت البلوط واللبنى والبطم لان ظلها حسن. لذلك تزني بناتكم وتفسق كنّاتكم.
14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit whoredom, nor your spouses when they commit adultery: for themselves are separated with whores, and they sacrifice with harlots: therefore the people that doth not understand shall fall.	14 لا اعاقب بناتكم لانهنّ يزنين ولا كنّاتكم لانهنّ يفسقن. لانهم يعتزلون مع الزانيات ويذبحون مع الناذرات الزنى. وشعب لا يعقل يصرع
15 Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Beth-aven, nor 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 slideth back as a backsliding heifer: now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.	16 انه قد جمح اسرائيل كبقرة جامحة. الآن يرعاهم الرب كخروف في مكان واسع.
17 Ephraim is joined to idols: let him alone.	17 افرايم موثق بالاصنام. اتركوه.
18 Their drink is sour: they have committed whoredom continually: her rulers with shame do love, Give ye.	18 متى انتهت منادمتهم زنوا زنى. احب مجانّها احبوا الهوان.
19 The wind hath bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.	19 قد صرّتها الريح في اجنحتها وخجلوا من ذبائحهم
