HOSEA 12	هوشع 12
1 "Ephraim feeds on the wind, And pursues the east wind; He daily increases lies and desolation. Also they make a covenant with the Assyrians, And oil is carried to Egypt.	1 «أَفْرَايِمُ رَاعِي الرِّيحِ وَتَابِعُ الرِّيحِ الشَّرْقِيَّةِ. كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يُكَثِّرُ الْكَذِبَ وَالاِغْتِصَابَ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَعَ أَشُّورَ عَهْداً وَالزَّيْتُ إِلَى مِصْرَ يُجْلَبُ.
2 "The Lord also brings a charge against Judah, And will punish Jacob according to his ways; According to his deeds He will recompense him.	2 فَلِلرَّبِّ خِصَامٌ مَعَ يَهُوذَا وَهُوَ مُزْمِعٌ أَنْ يُعَاقِبَ يَعْقُوبَ بِحَسَبِ طُرُقِهِ. بِحَسَبِ أَفْعَالِهِ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْهِ.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, And in his strength he struggled with God.	3 «فِي الْبَطْنِ قَبَضَ بِعَقِبِ أَخِيهِ وَبِقُوَّّتِهِ جَاهَدَ مَعَ اللَّهِ.
4 Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed; He wept, and sought favor from Him. He found Him in Bethel, And there He spoke to us--	4 جَاهَدَ مَعَ الْمَلاَكِ وَغَلَبَ. بَكَى وَاسْتَرْحَمَهُ. وَجَدَهُ فِي بَيْتِ إِيلَ وَهُنَاكَ تَكَلَّمَ مَعَنَا.
5 That is, the Lord God of hosts. The Lord is His memorable name.	5 وَالرَّبُّ إِلَهُ الْجُنُودِ يَهْوَهُ اسْمُهُ.
6 So you, by the help of your God, return; Observe mercy and justice, And wait on your God continually.	6 وَأَنْتَ فَارْجِعْ إِلَى إِلَهِكَ. احْفَظِ الرَّحْمَةَ وَالْحَقَّ وَانْتَظِرْ إِلَهَكَ دَائِماً.
7 "A cunning Canaanite! Deceitful scales are in his hand; He loves to oppress.	7 مِثْلُ الْكَنْعَانِيِّ فِي يَدِهِ مَوَازِينُ الْغِشِّ. يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَظْلِمَ.
8 And Ephraim said, 'Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.'	8 فَقَالَ أَفْرَايِمُ: إِنِّي صِرْتُ غَنِيّاً. وَجَدْتُ لِنَفْسِي ثَرْوَةً. جَمِيعُ أَتْعَابِي لاَ يَجِدُونَ لِي فِيهَا ذَنْباً هُوَ خَطِيَّةٌ.
9 "But I am the Lord your God, Ever since the land of Egypt; I will again make you dwell in tents, As in the days of the appointed feast.	9 وَأَنَا الرَّبُّ إِلَهُكَ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ حَتَّى أُسْكِنَكَ الْخِيَامَ كَأَيَّامِ الْمَوْسِمِ.
10 I have also spoken by the prophets, And have multiplied visions; I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets."	10 وَكَلَّمْتُ الأَنْبِيَاءَ وَكَثَّرْتُ الرُّؤَى وَبِيَدِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ مَثَّلْتُ أَمْثَالاً».
11 Though Gilead has idols-- Surely they are vanity-- Though they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal, Indeed their altars shall be heaps in the furrows of the field.	11 إِنَّهُمْ فِي جِلْعَادَ قَدْ صَارُوا إِثْماً بُطْلاً لاَ غَيْرُ. فِي الْجِلْجَالِ ذَبَحُوا ثِيرَاناً وَمَذَابِحُهُمْ كَرُجَمٍ فِي أَتْلاَمِ الْحَقْلِ.
12 Jacob fled to the country of Syria; Israel served for a spouse, And for a wife he tended sheep.	12 وَهَرَبَ يَعْقُوبُ إِلَى صَحْرَاءِ أَرَامَ وَخَدَمَ إِسْرَائِيلُ لأَجْلِ امْرَأَةٍ وَلأَجْلِ امْرَأَةٍ رَعَى.
13 By a prophet the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet he was preserved.	13 وَبِنَبِيٍّ أَصْعَدَ الرَّبُّ إِسْرَائِيلَ مِنْ مِصْرَ وَبِنَبِيٍّ حُفِظَ.
14 Ephraim provoked Him to anger most bitterly; Therefore his Lord will leave the guilt of his bloodshed upon him, And return his reproach upon him.	14 أَغَاظَهُ إِسْرَائِيلُ بِمَرَارَةٍ فَيَتْرُكُ دِمَاءَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَيَرُدُّ سَيِّدُهُ عَارَهُ عَلَيْهِ.
