< Hosea 9 >

1 Do not rejoice, O Israel, with exultation like the nations, for you have played the harlot against your God; you have made love for hire on every threshing floor.
イスラエルよ異邦人のごとく喜びすさむ勿れなんぢ淫行をなして汝の神を離る汝すべての麥の打塲にて賜はる淫行の賞賜を愛せり
2 The threshing floor and winepress will not feed them, and the new wine will fail them.
打場と酒榨とはかれらを養はじ亦あたらしき酒もむなしくならん
3 They will not remain in the land of the LORD; Ephraim will return to Egypt and eat unclean food in Assyria.
かれらはヱホバの地にとどまらずエフライムはエジプトに歸りアツスリヤにて汚穢たる物を食はん
4 They will not pour out wine offerings to the LORD, and their sacrifices will not please Him, but will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat will be defiled. For their bread will be for themselves; it will not enter the house of the LORD.
彼等はヱホバにむかひて酒を灌ぐべき者にあらずその祭物はヱホバの悦びたまふ所にあらずかれらの犠牲は喪に居もののパンのごとし凡てこれを食ふものは汚るべし彼等のパンは只おのが食ふためにのみ用ゐべくしてヱホバの家に入るべきにあらず
5 What will you do on the appointed day, on the day of the LORD’s feast?
なんぢら集會の日とヱホバの節會の日に何をなさんとするや
6 For even if they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them and Memphis will bury them. Their precious silver will be taken over by thistles, and thorns will overrun their tents.
視よかれら滅亡の故によりて去ゆきぬエジプトかれらをあつめメンピスかれらを葬らん蒺藜かれらが銀の寳物を獲いばら彼らの天幕に蔓らん
7 The days of punishment have come; the days of retribution have arrived— let Israel know it. The prophet is called a fool, and the inspired man insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and hostility.
刑罰の日きたり應報の日きたれりイスラエルこれを知ん預言者は愚なるもの霊に感じたるものは狂へるものなりこれ汝の惡おほく汝の怨恨おほいなるに因る
8 The prophet is Ephraim’s watchman, along with my God, yet the snare of the fowler lies on all his paths. Hostility is in the house of his God!
エフライムは我が神にならべて他の神をも佇望めり預言者の一切の途は鳥を捕ふる者の網のごとく且その神の室の中にて怨恨を懐けり
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their guilt; He will punish their sins.
かれらはギベアの日のごとく甚だしく惡き事を行へりヱホバはその惡をこころに記てその罪を罰したまはん
10 I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits of the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor, and consecrated themselves to Shame; so they became as detestable as the thing they loved.
在昔われイスラエルを見ること荒野の葡萄のごとく汝らの先組等を看ること無花果樹の始にむすべる最先の果の如くなししに彼等はバアルペオルにゆきて身を恥辱にゆたねその愛する物とともに憎むべき者とはなれり
11 Ephraim’s glory will fly away like a bird, with no birth, no pregnancy, and no conception.
エフライムの榮光は鳥のごとく飛さらん即ち産ことも孕むことも妊娠こともなかるべし
12 Even if they raise their children, I will bereave them of each one. Yes, woe be to them when I turn away from them!
仮令かれら子等を育つるとも我その子を喪ひて遺る人なきにいたらしめん我が離るる時かれらの禍大なる哉
13 I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a meadow. But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.
われエフライムを美地に植てツロのごとくなししかどもエフライムはその子等を携へいだして人を殺すに付さんとす
14 Give them, O LORD— what will You give? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that dry up!
ヱホバよ彼らに與ヘたまへ汝なにを與ヘんとしたまふや孕まざる胎と乳なき乳房とを與へたまへ
15 All their evil appears at Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them from My house for the wickedness of their deeds. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious.
かれらが凡のはギルガルにあり此故に我かしこにて之を惡めりその行爲あしければ我が家より逐いたし重て愛することをせじその牧伯等はみな悼れる者なり
16 Ephraim is struck down; their root is withered; they cannot bear fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay the darlings of their wombs.
エフライムは撃れその根はかれて果を結ぶまじ若し産ことあらば我その胎なる愛しむ實を殺さん
17 My God will reject them because they have not obeyed Him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
かれら聴從はざるによりて我が神これを棄たまふべしかれらは列國民のうちに流離人とならん
