Hosea 7
1 When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is discovered, and the wickedness of Samaria: for they practise falsehood; and the thief entereth in, [and] the troop of robbers assaileth without.
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
2 And they say not in their hearts [that] I remember all their wickedness: now do their own doings encompass them; they are before my face.
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圍みふさぎて皆わが目前にあり
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, 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 all practise adultery, as an oven heated by the baker: he ceaseth from stirring [the fire] after he hath kneaded the dough, until it be leavened.
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燒るる爐のごとし揑粉をこねてその發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 In the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine: he stretched out his hand to scorners.
われらの王の日にもろもろの牧伯は酒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 have applied their heart like an oven to their lying in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth 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燒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 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto 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, he mixeth himself with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
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 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not; yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [it] not.
かれは他邦人らにその力をのまるれども之をしらず白髮その身に雑り生れどもこれをさとらず
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face; and they do not return to Jehovah their God, nor seek him for all this.
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 And Ephraim is become like a silly dove without understanding: they call to Egypt, they go 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 When they go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the fowl of the heavens; I will chastise them, according as their assembly hath heard.
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會に告しごとくかれらを懲しめん
13 Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have transgressed against me. And I would redeem them; but 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壞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 And they cried not unto me in their heart, when they howled upon their beds; they assemble themselves for corn and new wine; they have turned aside 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 I have indeed trained, I have strengthened their arms, but they imagine mischief against me.
我かれらを敎へその腕をつよくせしかども彼らはわれにもとりて惡きことを謀る
16 They return, [but] not to the [Most] High: they are like a deceitful bow. Their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision 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
