Hosea 6

1 Come and let us return unto Jehovah: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will 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 will he revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before his face;

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 and we shall know, — we shall follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is assured as the morning dawn; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain which watereth the earth.

この故にわれらヱホバをしるべし切にヱホバを知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 unto thee, Judah? For your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth 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 hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and my judgment goeth 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 delight in loving-kindness, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

われは愛憎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 like Adam have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me.

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 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity; it is tracked with blood.

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 as troops of robbers lie in wait for a man, so the company of priests murder in the way of Shechem; yea, they commit lewdness.

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 In the house of Israel have I seen a horrible thing: the whoredom of Ephraim is there; Israel is 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 Also, for thee, Judah, is a harvest appointed, when I shall turn again 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
