< Hosea 11 >

1 I loved Israel when he was a child. He's my son I called out of Egypt.
イスラエルの幼かりしとき我これを愛しぬ我わが子をエジプトより呼いだしたり
2 As they called them, so they went from them: they sacrificed to the Baals and offered incense to idols.
かれらは呼るるに隨ひていよいよその呼者に遠ざかり且もろもろのバアルに犠牲をささげ雕たる偶像に香を焚り
3 I myself taught Ephraim to walk, taking them by the hand, but they didn't realize I was the one who healed them.
われエフライムに歩むことををしへ彼等をわが腕にのせて抱けり然どかれらは我にいやされたるを知ず
4 I led them along with cords of kindness, with ropes of love. I was the one who eased their burden and bent down to feed them.
われ人にもちゐる索すなはち愛のつなをもて彼等をひけり我がかれらを待ふは軛をその腮より挙のくるもののごとくにして彼等に食物をあたへたり
5 However, because my people refuse to return to me, they will not return to the land of Egypt but Assyria shall be their king.
かれらはエジプトの地にかへらじ然どかれらがヱホバに歸らざるによりてアツスリヤ人その王とならん
6 War will sweep through their cities, putting an end to their boasting and destroying their plans.
劍かれらの諸邑にまはりゆきてその関門をこぼち彼らをその謀計の故によりて滅さん
7 My people are hanging on to their apostasy from me. They call him “god on high” but he will not raise them up at all.
わが民はともすれば我にはなれんとする心あり人これを招きて上に在るものに属しめんとすれども身をおこすもの一人だになし
8 How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I let you go, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is breaking; I am full of compassion.
エフライムよ我いかで汝をすてんやイスラエルよ我いかで汝をわたさんや我いかで汝をアデマのごとくせんや争でなんぢをゼボイムのごとく爲んやわが心わが衷にかはりて我の愛憐ことごとく燃おこれり
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger, I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God, not a human being. I am the Holy One living among you. I will not enter your cities.
我わが烈しき震怒をほどこすことをせじ我かさねてエフライムを滅すことをせじ我は人にあらず神なればなり我は汝のうちにいます聖者なりいかりをもて臨まじ
10 The people will follow me, the Lord. He will roar like a lion. When he roars like a lion then his children will come trembling from the west.
かれらは獅子の吼るごとくに聲を出したまふヱホバに隨ひて歩まんヱホバ聲を出したまへば子等は西より急ぎ來らん
11 Like a flock of frightened birds they will come from Egypt, like doves they will come from Assyria, and I will bring them back home, declares the Lord.
かれらエジプトより鳥のごとくアツスリヤより鴿のごとくに急ぎ來らん我かれらをその家々に住はしむべし是エホバの聖言なり
12 Ephraim surrounds me with lies and Israel with deceit, and Judah still wanders with some deity, faithful to some “Holy One.”
エフライムは謊言をもてイスラエルの家は詐偽をもて我を囲めりユダは神と信ある聖者とに属きみつかずみ漂蕩をれり
