Hosea 14

English
1

Israel, return to the LORD your God; for you have fallen because of your sin.

2

Take words with you, and return to the LORD. Tell him, “Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good; so we offer bulls as we vowed of our lips.

3

Assyria can’t save us. We won’t ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, ‘Our gods!’ for in you the fatherless finds mercy.”

4

“I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from them.

5

I will be like the dew to Israel. He will blossom like the lily, and send down his roots like Lebanon.

6

His branches will spread, and his beauty will be like the olive tree, and his fragrance like Lebanon.

7

Men will dwell in his shade. They will revive like the grain, and blossom like the vine. Their fragrance will be like the wine of Lebanon.

8

Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green cypress tree; from me your fruit is found.”

9

Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

سِفْرُ هوشع 14

العربية
1

السَّامِرَةُ سَوفَ تَدفَعُ الثَّمَن لِأَنَّها تَمَرَّدَت على إِلٰهِها. يَسقُطونَ بِالسَّيف ويُسحَقُ أَطْفالُهم وتُشَقُّ حَوامِلُهم

2

عُدْ، يا إِسْرائيلُ، إِلى الرَّبِّ إِلٰهِكَ فإِنَّكَ بِذَنبِكَ عَثَرتَ

3

خُذوا معَكم كَلامًا وعودوا إِلى الرَّبّ قولوا له: «إِرفَعْ كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ وٱقبَلِ الخَير فنَنذُرُ شِفاهَنا بَدَلَ العُجول

4

أَشُّورُ لا يُخَلِّصُنا ولا نَركَبُ الخَيل ولا نَقولُ بَعدَ الآنَ لِصُنعِ أَيدينا: «إِلٰهَنا» فيكِ يَجِدُ اليَتيمُ رَحمَةً

5

أَشفيهم مِنِ ٱرتِدادِهم وأُحِبُّهم بِسَخاء لِأَنَّ غَضَبي ٱنصَرَفَ عنه

6

أَكونُ لإِسْرائيلَ كالنَّدى فيُزهِرُ كالسَّوسَنِ ويَغرِزُ جُذورَه كلُبْنان

7

وتَنتَشِرُ فُروعُه ويَكونُ بَهاؤُه كالزَّيتونِ ورائِحَتُه كلُبْنان

8

فيَرجِعونَ ليَجلِسوا في ظِلِّي ويُحيونَ الحِنطَة ويُزهِرونَ كالكَرمَة فيَكونُ ذِكرُه كَخَمْرِ لُبْنان

9

يا أَفْرائيمُ، ما لي ولِلأَوثانِ بَعدَ اليَوم؟ أَنا أُجيبُه وأَرْعاه أَنا الَّذي كالسَّروَةِ الخَضْراء ومِنِّي يَخرُجُ ثَمَرُكَ

10

مَن هو حَكيمٌ فيَفطَنَ لِهٰذه الأَشْياء وفَهيمٌ فيَعلَمَها؟ لِأَنَّ طُرُقَ الرَّبِّ مُستَقيمةٌ والأَبْرارُ يَسلُكونَها. وأَمَّا العُصاةُ فيَعثُرونَ فيها
