Osea (هوشع) 11

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 لما كان اسرائيل غلاما احببته ومن مصر دعوت ابني.	1 When Israel was a child I loved him, and I cal ed my son out of Egypt.
2 كل ما دعوهم ذهبوا من امامهم يذبحون للبعليم ويبخّرون للتماثيل المنحوتة.	2 But the more I cal ed, the further they went away from me; they offered sacrifice to Baal and burntincense to idols.
3 وانا درّجت افرايم ممسكا اياهم باذرعهم فلم يعرفوا اني شفيتهم.	3 I myself taught Ephraim to walk, I myself took them by the arm, but they did not know that I was theone caring for them,
4 كنت اجذبهم بحبال البشر بربط المحبة وكنت لهم كمن يرفع النير عن اعناقهم ومددت اليه مطعما اياه	4 that I was leading them with human ties, with leading-strings of love, that, with them, I was likesomeone lifting an infant to his cheek, and that I bent down to feed him.
5 لا يرجع الى ارض مصر بل اشور هو ملكه. لانهم أبوا ان يرجعوا	5 He wil not have to go back to Egypt, Assyria wil be his king instead! Since he has refused to comeback to me,
6 يثور السيف في مدنهم ويتلف عصيّها وياكلهم من اجل آرائهم.	6 the sword wil rage through his cities, destroying the bars of his gates, devouring them because oftheir plots.
7 وشعبي جانحون الى الارتداد عني فيدعونهم الى العلي ولا احد يرفعه.	7 My people are bent on disregarding me; if they are summoned to come up, not one of them makes amove.
8 كيف اجعلك يا افرايم. اصيّرك يا اسرائيل. كيف اجعلك كأدمة. اصنعك كصبوييم. قد انقلب عليّ قلبي. اضطرمت مراحمي جميعا.	8 Ephraim, how could I part with you? Israel, how could I give you up? How could I make you likeAdmah or treat you like Zeboi m? My heart within me is overwhelmed, fever grips my inmost being.
9 لا اجري حمو غضبي لا اعود اخرب افرايم لاني الله لا انسان القدوس في وسطك فلا آتي بسخط	9 I wil not give rein to my fierce anger, I wil not destroy Ephraim again, for I am God, not man, the HolyOne in your midst, and I shall not come to you in anger.
10 وراء الرب يمشون. كاسد يزمجر. فانه يزمجر فيسرع البنون من البحر.	10 They wil fol ow Yahweh; he wil roar like a lion, and when he roars, his children will come flutteringfrom the west,
11 يسرعون كعصفور من مصر وكحمامة من ارض اشور فأسكنهم في بيوتهم يقول الرب.	11 fluttering like sparrows from Egypt, like pigeons from Assyria, and I shal settle them in their homes-declares Yahweh.
12 قد احاط بي افرايم بالكذب وبيت اسرائيل بالمكر ولم يزل يهوذا شاردا عن الله وعن القدوس الامين
