< Hosea 5 >

1 Hear ye this, O priests, and hearken, O ye house of Israel, and give ear, O house of the king: for there is a judgment against you, because you have been a snare to them whom you should have watched over, and a net spread upon Thabor.
祭司等よこれを聴けイスラエルの家よ耳をかたむけよ 王のいへよ之にこころを注よ さばきは汝等にのぞまん そは我らはミズパに設くる羂タボルに張れる網のごとくなればなり
2 And you have turned aside victims into the depth: and I am, the teacher of them all.
悖逆者はふかく罪にしづみたり我かれらをことごとく懲しめん
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hid from me: for now Ephraim hath committed fornication, Israel is defiled.
我はエフライムを知る イスラエルはわれに隠るるところ無し エフライムよなんぢ今すでに淫行をなせりイスラエルはすでに汚れたり
4 They will not set their thoughts to return to their God: for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
かれらの行爲かれらをしてその神に歸ること能はざらしむ そは淫行の霊その衷にありてヱホバを知ることなければなり
5 And the pride of Israel shall answer in his face: and Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity, Juda also shall fall with them.
イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなしその罪によりてイスラエルとエフライムは仆れユダもまた之とともにたふれん
6 With their flocks, and with their herds, they shall go to seek the Lord, and shall not find him: he is withdrawn from them.
かれらは羊のむれ牛の群をたづさへ往てヱホバを尋ね求めん然どあふことあらじヱホバ既にかれらより離れ給ひたればなり
7 They have transgressed against the Lord, for they have begotten children that are strangers: now shall a month devour them with their portions.
かれらヱホバにむかひ貞操を守らずして他人の子を産り新月かれらとその産業とをともに滅さん
8 Blow ye the cornet in Gabaa, the trumpet in Rama: howl ye in Bethaven, behind thy back, O Benjamin.
なんぢらギベアにて角をふきラマにてラッパを吹ならしベテアベンにて呼はりて言へベニヤミンよなんぢの後にありと
9 Ephraim shall be in desolation in the day of rebuke: among the tribes of Israel I have shewn that which shall surely be.
罰せらるるの日にエフライムは荒廃れん我イスラエルの支派の中にかならず有るべきことを示せり
10 The princes of Juda are become as they that take up the bound: I will pour out my wrath upon them like water.
ユダの牧伯等は境界をうつすもののごとくなれり我わが震怒を水のごとくに彼らのうへに斟がん
11 Ephraim is under oppression, and broken in judgment: because he began to go after filthiness.
エフライムは甘んじて人のさだめたるところに從ひあゆむがゆゑに鞫をうけて虐げられ圧られん
12 And I will be like a moth to Ephraim: and like rottenness to the house of Juda.
われエフライムには蠧のごとくユダの家には腐朽のごとし
13 And Ephraim saw his sickness, and Juda his band: and Ephraim went to the Assyrian, and sent to the avenging king: and he shall not be able to heal you, neither shall he be able to take off the band from you.
エフライムおのれに病あるを見ユダおのれに傷あるをみたり斯てエフライムはアツスリヤに往きヤレブ王に人をつかはしたれど彼はなんぢらを醫すことをえず又なんぢらの傷をのぞきさることを得ざるべし
14 For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s whelp to the house of Juda: I, I will catch, and go: I will take away, and there is none that can rescue.
われエフライムには獅子のごとくユダの家にはわかき獅子のごとし我しも我は抓劈てさり掠めゆけども救ふ者なかるべし
15 I will go and return to my place: until you are consumed, and seek my face.
我ふたたびわが處にかへりゆき彼らがその罪をくいてひたずらわが面をたづね求むるまで其處にをらん彼らは艱難によりて我をたづねもとむることをせん
