Osea (هوشع) 12

SMITH VAN DYKE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 افرايم راعي الريح وتابع الريح الشرقية. كل يوم يكثر الكذب والاغتصاب ويقطعون مع اشور عهدا والزيت الى مصر يجلب.	1 Ephraim besieges me with lying, the House of Israel with duplicity. (But Judah stil is on God's side, heis faithful to the Holy One.)
2 فللرب خصام مع يهوذا وهو مزمع ان يعاقب يعقوب بحسب طرقه. بحسب افعاله يرد عليه	2 Ephraim feeds himself on wind, all day he chases the wind from the East, he heaps up cheating andviolence; they make a treaty with Assyria, at the same time sending oil to Egypt.
3 في البطن قبض بعقب اخيه وبقوّته جاهد مع الله.	3 Yahweh has a case against Judah, he will punish Jacob as his conduct merits, he will repay him as hisdeeds deserve.
4 جاهد مع الملاك وغلب. بكى واسترحمه. وجده في بيت ايل وهناك تكلم معنا.	4 In the very womb he overreached his brother, in maturity he wrestled against God.
5 والرب اله الجنود يهوه اسمه.	5 He wrestled with the angel and beat him, he wept and pleaded with him. He met him at Bethel andthere God spoke to us-
6 وانت فارجع الى الهك. احفظ الرحمة والحق وانتظر الهك دائما	6 yes, Yahweh, God Sabaoth, Yahweh is his title!
7 مثل الكنعاني في يده موازين الغش. يحب ان يظلم.	7 So turn back with God's help, maintain faithful love and loyalty and always put your trust in your God.
8 فقال افرايم اني صرت غنيا. وجدت لنفسي ثروة. جميع اتعابي لا يجدون لي فيها ذنبا هو خطية.	8 Merchants use fraudulent scales. To defraud is his delight.
9 وانا الرب الهك من ارض مصر حتى اسكنك الخيام كايام الموسم.	9 'How rich I have become!' says Ephraim, 'I have made a fortune.' But of al his gains he wil keepnothing because of the sin of which he is guilty.
10 وكلّمت الانبياء وكثّرت الرؤى وبيد الانبياء مثّلت امثالا.	10 But I have been Yahweh your God since your days in Egypt and will make you live in tents again asin the days of Meeting.
11 انهم في جلعاد قد صاروا اثما بطلا لا غير. في الجلجال ذبحوا ثيرانا ومذابحهم كرجم في اتلام الحقل.	11 I will speak through prophets, I will give vision after vision and through the ministry of prophets wilspeak in parables.
12 وهرب يعقوب الى صحراء ارام وخدم اسرائيل لاجل امرأة ولاجل امرأة رعى	12 Is Gilead a sink of iniquity? Yes, they are a worthless lot! At Gilgal they sacrifice to bulls, that is whytheir altars are like heaps of stones in a ploughed field.
13 وبنبيّ اصعد الرب اسرائيل من مصر وبنبيّ‎حفظ.	13 Jacob fled to the countryside of Aram, Israel slaved to win a wife, to win a wife he looked after sheep.
14 اغاظه اسرائيل بمرارة فيترك دماءه عليه ويردّ سيده عاره عليه	14 By a prophet Yahweh brought Israel out of Egypt and by a prophet Israel was preserved.
	15 Ephraim gave bitter provocation- Yahweh will bring his bloodshed down on him, his Lord wil repayhim for his insult.
