Hosea 7
1 when I heal Israel, Ephraim's sins will be exposed, together with the evil actions of Samaria. They deal in lies; they are thieves who break into homes and rob people on the outside.
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 But they don't realize that I remember all of their wickedness. Their sins surround them and are always before me.
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 their king happy 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 All of them are adulterers, burning with lust like an oven whose fire stays hot, even though it is not tended by the baker, having left the dough to rise after kneading.
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 On the king's birthday the princes drink so much they are sick, while he joins in with those who mock.
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 Their minds are fired up like an oven; they go to him with their plots. All through the night their anger burns; in the morning it blazes out uncontrollably.
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 All of them are as hot as a burning oven, and they exhaust their leaders. All of their kings have fallen, and not one of them calls on 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 mixes with the foreign nations; he is as useless as half-baked bread!
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 Foreigners drain his strength, and he doesn't even realize it. His hair is turning grey and he doesn't even notice.
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 Israel's pride testifies against him, but for all of this he still does not return to the Lord their God or look for him.
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 Ephraim is like a dove, foolish and without sense—calling to Egypt, then going 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 throw my net over them; I will bring them down like wild birds. When I hear them flocking together I will punish them.
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 What disaster is coming to them because they have strayed from me! Destruction is coming to them because they have rebelled against me! I wish I could redeem them, but they tell lies about 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 They do not cry out to me with sincere minds; instead they lie on their beds howling. They assemble together and gash themselves to gain grain and new wine, but they turn away 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 myself trained them and made them strong, but now they plot evil 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 turn, but not to the Most High; they are like a useless bow. Their leaders will be killed by the sword because of their cursing. Because of this they will be ridiculed in 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
