< Hosea 5 >
1 “Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
祭司等よこれを聴けイスラエルの家よ耳をかたむけよ 王のいへよ之にこころを注よ さばきは汝等にのぞまん そは我らはミズパに設くる羂タボルに張れる網のごとくなればなり
2 The rebels are deep in slaughter, but I discipline all of them.
悖逆者はふかく罪にしづみたり我かれらをことごとく懲しめん
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
我はエフライムを知る イスラエルはわれに隠るるところ無し エフライムよなんぢ今すでに淫行をなせりイスラエルはすでに汚れたり
4 Their deeds will not allow them to turn to their God, for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
かれらの行爲かれらをしてその神に歸ること能はざらしむ そは淫行の霊その衷にありてヱホバを知ることなければなり
5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなしその罪によりてイスラエルとエフライムは仆れユダもまた之とともにたふれん
6 They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD, but they will not find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
かれらは羊のむれ牛の群をたづさへ往てヱホバを尋ね求めん然どあふことあらじヱホバ既にかれらより離れ給ひたればなり
7 They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
かれらヱホバにむかひ貞操を守らずして他人の子を産り新月かれらとその産業とをともに滅さん
8 “Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!
なんぢらギベアにて角をふきラマにてラッパを吹ならしベテアベンにて呼はりて言へベニヤミンよなんぢの後にありと
9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
罰せらるるの日にエフライムは荒廃れん我イスラエルの支派の中にかならず有るべきことを示せり
10 The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
ユダの牧伯等は境界をうつすもののごとくなれり我わが震怒を水のごとくに彼らのうへに斟がん
11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment, because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
エフライムは甘んじて人のさだめたるところに從ひあゆむがゆゑに鞫をうけて虐げられ圧られん
12 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
われエフライムには蠧のごとくユダの家には腐朽のごとし
13 “When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
エフライムおのれに病あるを見ユダおのれに傷あるをみたり斯てエフライムはアツスリヤに往きヤレブ王に人をつかはしたれど彼はなんぢらを醫すことをえず又なんぢらの傷をのぞきさることを得ざるべし
14 For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
われエフライムには獅子のごとくユダの家にはわかき獅子のごとし我しも我は抓劈てさり掠めゆけども救ふ者なかるべし
15 I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
我ふたたびわが處にかへりゆき彼らがその罪をくいてひたずらわが面をたづね求むるまで其處にをらん彼らは艱難によりて我をたづねもとむることをせん
