Hosea 5
1 “Hear this, O priests! Take heed, O house of Israel! Give ear, O royal house! For this judgment is against you because you have been a snare at Mizpah, a net spread out 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 will chastise them all.
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 all about Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me. For now, O Ephraim, you have turned to prostitution; 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 do not permit them to return to their God, for a 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 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them; Israel and Ephraim stumble in their iniquity; even Judah stumbles 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6 They go with their flocks and herds to seek the LORD, but they do not find Him; He has withdrawn Himself from them.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 have been unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the New Moon will devour them along with their land.
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 ram’s horn in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah; raise the battle cry in Beth-aven: Lead on, O 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 be laid waste on the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I proclaim what is certain.
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 move boundary stones; I will pour out My fury upon 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, crushed in judgment, for he is determined to follow worthless 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 So I am like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
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 turned to Assyria and sent to the great king. But he cannot cure you or heal 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 am like a lion to Ephraim and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will tear them to pieces and then go away. I will carry them off where no one can rescue them.
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 Then I will return to My place until they admit their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”
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
