Hosea 2
1 Say unto your brethren Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
汝らの兄弟に向ひてはアンミ(わが民)と言ひ汝らの姉妹にむかひてはルハマ(憐まるる者)と言へ
2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
なんぢらの母とあげつらへ論辨ふことをせよ彼はわが妻にあらず我はかれの夫にあらざるなりなんぢら斯してかれにその面より淫行を除かせその乳房の間より姦淫をのぞかしめよ
3 lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her as a dry land, and slay her with thirst.
然らざれば我かれを剥て赤體にしその生れいでたる日のごとくにしまた荒野のごとくならしめ潤ひなき地のごとくならしめ渇によりて死しめん
4 And I will not have mercy upon her children; for they are the children of whoredoms.
我その子等を憐まじ淫行の子等なればなり
5 For their mother hath played the harlot; she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give [me] my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
かれらの母は淫行をなせりかれらを生る者は恥べき事をおこなへり蓋かれいへる言あり我はわが戀人等につきしたがはん彼らはわがパンわが水わが羊毛わが麻わが油わが飮物などを我に與ふるなりと
6 Therefore behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns; and I will fence [her] in with a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
この故にわれ荊棘をもてなんぢの路をふさぎ垣をたてて彼にその徑をえざらしむべし
7 And she shall pursue after her lovers, and shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, and shall not find them: and she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then was it better with me than now.
彼はその戀人たちの後をしたひゆけども追及ことなく之をたづぬれども遇ことなし是において彼いはん我ゆきてわが前の夫にかへるべしかのときのわが状態は今にまさりて善りきと
8 And she did not know that I had given her the corn and the new wine and the oil, and had multiplied to her the silver and gold, which they employed for Baal.
彼が得る穀物と酒と油はわが與ふるところ彼がバアルのために用ゐたる金銀はわが彼に増あたへたるところなるを彼はしらざるなり
9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in the time thereof, and my new wine in its season, and will withdraw my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
これによりて我わが穀物をその時におよびて奪ひわが酒をその季にいたりてうばひ又かれの裸體をおほふに用ゆべきわが羊毛およびわが麻をとらん
10 And now will I discover her impiety in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.
今われかれの恥るところをその戀人等の目のまへに露すべし彼をわが手より救ふものあらじ
11 And I will cause all her mirth to cease: her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths! and all her solemnities.
我かれがすべての喜樂すなはち祝筵新月のいはひ安息日および一切の節會をして息しめん
12 And I will make desolate her vine and her fig-tree, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards which my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
また彼の葡萄の樹と無花果樹をそこなはん彼さきに此等をさしてわが戀人の我にあたへし賞賜なりと言しがわれこれを林となし野の獣をしてくらはしめん
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baals, wherein she burned incense to them, and decked herself with her rings and jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith Jehovah.
われかれが耳環頸玉などを掛てその戀人らをしたひゆき我をわすれ香をたきて事へしもろもろのバアルの日のゆゑをもてその罪を罰せんヱホバかく言たまふ
14 Therefore behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak to her heart.
斯るがゆゑに我かれを誘ひて荒野にみちびきいり終にかれの心をなぐさめ
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
かしこを出るや直ちにわれかれにその葡萄園を與へアコル(艱難)の谷を望の門となしてあたへん彼はわかかりし時のごとくエジプトの國より上りきたりし時のごとくかしこにて歌うたはん
16 And it shall be in that day, saith Jehovah, [that] thou shalt call me, My husband, and shalt call me no more, Baali;
ヱホバ言たまふその日にはなんぢ我をふたたびバアリとよばずしてイシ(吾夫)とよばん
17 for I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name.
我もろもろのバアルの名をかれが口よりとりのぞき重ねてその名を世に記憶せらるること無らしめん
18 And I will make a covenant for them in that day with the beasts of the field, and with the fowl of the heavens, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will break bow and sword and battle out of the land; and I will make them to lie down safely.
その日には我かれら(我民)のために野の獣そらの鳥および地の昆蟲と誓約をむすびまた弓箭ををり戰爭を全世界よりのぞき彼らをして安らかに居しむべし
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; and I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies;
われ汝をめとりて永遠にいたらん公義と公平と寵愛と憐憫とをもてなんぢを娶り
20 and I will betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know Jehovah.
かはることなき眞實をもて汝をめとるべし汝ヱホバをしらん
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will hear, saith Jehovah, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth;
ヱホバいひ給ふその日われ應へん我は天にこたへ天は地にこたへ
22 and the earth shall hear the corn, and the new wine, and the oil; and they shall hear Jizreel.
地は穀物と酒と油とに應へまた是等のものはヱズレルに應へん
23 And I will sow her unto me in the land; and I will have mercy upon Lo-ruhamah; and I will say to Lo-ammi, Thou art my people; and they shall say, My God.
我わがためにかれを地にまき憐まれざりし者をあはれみわが民ならざりし者にむかひて汝はわが民なりといはんかれらは我にむかひて汝はわが神なりといはん
