1 وقلت اسمعوا يا رؤساء يعقوب وقضاة بيت اسرائيل. أليس لكم ان تعرفوا الحق. | 1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment? |
2 المبغضين الخير والمحبين الشر النازعين جلودهم عنهم ولحمهم عن عظامهم. | 2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones; |
3 والذين ياكلون لحم شعبي ويكشطون جلدهم عنهم ويهشمون عظامهم ويشققون كما في القدر وكاللحم في وسط المقلى. | 3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron. |
4 حينئذ يصرخون الى الرب فلا يجيبهم بل يستر وجهه عنهم في ذلك الوقت كما اساءوا اعمالهم | 4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings. |
5 هكذا قال الرب على الانبياء الذين يضلّون شعبي الذين ينهشون باسنانهم وينادون سلام. والذي لا يجعل في افواههم شيئا يفتحون عليه حربا. | 5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him. |
6 لذلك تكون لكم ليلة بلا رؤيا. ظلام لكم بدون عرافة. وتغيب الشمس عن الانبياء ويظلم عليهم النهار. | 6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them. |
7 فيخزى الراؤون ويخجل العرافون ويغطّون كلهم شواربهم لانه ليس جواب من الله. | 7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for there is no answer of God. |
8 لكنني انا ملآن قوّة روح الرب وحقا وبأسا لاخبر يعقوب بذنبه واسرائيل بخطيته | 8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin. |
9 اسمعوا هذا يا رؤساء بيت يعقوب وقضاة بيت اسرائيل الذين يكرهون الحق ويعوّجون كل مستقيم. | 9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity. |
10 الذين يبنون صهيون بالدماء واورشليم بالظلم. | 10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. |
11 رؤساؤها يقضون بالرشوة وكهنتها يعلّمون بالأجرة وانبياؤها يعرفون بالفضة وهم يتوكلون على الرب قائلين أليس الرب في وسطنا. لا يأتي علينا شر. | 11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, Is not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us. |
12 لذلك بسببكم تفلح صهيون كحقل وتصير اورشليم خربا وجبل البيت شوامخ وعر | 12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. |
