Osee 6

1 In their affliction they will seek me early, saying, Let us go, and return to the Lord our God; for he has torn, and will heal us; he will smite, and bind us up.

來れわれらヱホバにかへるべし ヱホバわれらを抓劈たまひたれどもまた醫すことをなし我儕をうち給ひたれどもまたその傷をつつむことを爲したまふ可ればなり

2 After two days he will heal us: in the third day we shall arise, and live before him, and shall know [him]:

ヱホバは二日ののちわれらむ活かへし三日にわれらを起せたまはん 我らその前にて生ん

3 let us follow on to know the Lord: we shall find him ready as the morning, and he will come to us as the early and latter rain to the earth.

この故にわれらヱホバをしるべし切にヱホバを知ることを求むべしヱホバは晨光のごとく必ずあらはれいで雨のごとくわれらにのぞみ後の雨のごとく地をうるほし給ふ

4 What shall I do unto thee, Ephraim? What shall I do to thee, Juda? whereas your mercy is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew that goes away.

エフライムよ我なんぢに何をなさんやユダよ我なんぢに何をなさんやなんぢの愛情はあしたの雲のごとくまたただちにきゆる露のごとし

5 Therefore have I mown down your prophets; I have slain them with the word of my mouth: and my judgment shall go forth as the light.

このゆゑにわれ預言者等をもてかれらを撃ちわが口の言をもてかれらえを殺せりわが審判はあらはれいづる光明のごとし

6 For I will [have] mercy rather than sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than whole-burnt-offerings.

われは愛情をよろこびて犠牲をよろこばず神をしるを悦ぶこと燔祭にまされり

7 But they are as a man transgressing a covenant:

然るに彼らはアダムのごとく誓をやぶりかしこにて不義をわれにおこなへり

8 there the city Galaad despised me, working vanity, troubling water.

ギレアデは惡をおこなふものの邑にして血の足跡そのなかに徧し

9 And thy strength [is that] of a robber: the priests have hid the way, they have murdered [the people of] Sicima; for they have wrought iniquity in the house of Israel.

祭司のともがらは山賊の群のごとく伏伺して人をそこなひシケムに往く大路にて人をころす彼等はかくのごとき惡きことをおこなへり

10 I have seen horrible [things] there, [even] the fornication of Ephraim: Israel and Juda are defiled;

われイスラエルのいへに憎むべきことあるを見たりかの處にてエフライムは淫をおこなふイスフルは汚れたり

11 begin together grapes for thyself, when I turn the captivity of my people.

ユダよ我わが民の俘囚をかへさんときまた汝のためにも穫刈をそなへん
