Hosea 7
1 When I heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim will be exposed, as well as the crimes of Samaria. For they practice deceit and thieves break in; bandits raid in the streets.
われイスラエルを醫さんときエフライムの愆とサマリヤのあしきわざと露るかれらは詐詭をおこなひ内には偸盗いるあり外には山賊のむれ掠めさるあり かれら心にわがその一切の惡をしたためたることを思はず今その行爲はかれらを囲みふさぎて皆わが目前にあり
2 But they fail to consider in their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their deeds are all around them; they are before My face.
3 They delight the king with their evil, and the princes with their lies.
かれらはその惡をもて王を悦ばせその詐詭をもてもろもろの牧伯を悦ばせり
4 They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by a baker who needs not stoke the fire from the kneading to the rising of the dough.
かれらはみな姦淫をおこなふ者にしてパンを作るものに焼るる爐のごとし揑粉をこねてその発酵ときまでしばらく火をおこすことをせざるのみなり
5 The princes are inflamed with wine on the day of our king; so he joins hands with those who mock him.
われらの王の目にもろもろの牧伯は洒の熱によりて疾し王は嘲るものとともに手を伸ぶ
6 For they prepare their heart like an oven while they lie in wait; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
かれら伏伺するほどに心を爐のごとくして備をなすそのパンを焼くものは終夜ねむりにつき朝におよべばまた焔のごとく燃ゆ
7 All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings fall; not one of them calls upon Me.
かれらはみな爐のごとくに熱してその審士をやくそのもろもろの王はみな仆るかれらの中には我をよぶもの一人だになし
8 Ephraim mixes with the nations; Ephraim is an unturned cake.
エフライムは異邦人にいりまじるエフライムはかへさざる餹餅となれり
9 Foreigners consume his strength, but he does not notice. Even his hair is streaked with gray, but he does not know.
かれは他邦人らにその力をのまるれども之をしらず白髪その身に雑り生れどもこれをさとらず
10 Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, yet they do not return to the LORD their God; despite all this, they do not seek Him.
イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなすかれらは此もろもろの事あれどもその神ヱホバに歸ることをせず又もとむることをせざるなり
11 So Ephraim has become like a silly, senseless dove— calling out to Egypt, then turning to Assyria.
エフライムは智慧なくして愚なる鴿のごとし彼等はエジプトにむかひて呼求めまたアツスリヤに往く
12 As they go, I will spread My net over them; I will bring them down like birds of the air. I will chastise them when I hear them flocking together.
我かれらの往ときわが網をその上にはりて天空の鳥のごとくに引堕し前にその公会に告しごとくかれらを懲しめん
13 Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction to them, for they have rebelled against Me! Though I would redeem them, they speak lies against Me.
禍なるかなかれらは我をはなれて迷ひいでたり敗壊かれらにきたらんかれらは我にむかひて罪ををかしたり我かれらを贖はんとおもへどもかれら我にさからひて謊言をいへり
14 They do not cry out to Me from their hearts when they wail upon their beds. They slash themselves for grain and new wine, but turn away from Me.
かれら誠心をもて我をよばず唯牀にありて哀號べりかれらは穀物とあたらしき酒のゆゑをもて相集りかつわれに逆らふ
15 Although I trained and strengthened their arms, they plot evil against Me.
我かれらを教へその腕をつよくせしかども披らはわれにもとりて惡きことを謀る
16 They turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the cursing of their tongue; for this they will be ridiculed in the land of Egypt.
かれらは歸るされども至高者にかへらず彼らはたのみがたき弓のごとし彼らのもろもろの牧伯はその舌のあらき言によりて劍にたふれん彼らは之がためにエジプトの國にて嘲笑をうくべし
