< Hosea 8 >

1 Put a trumpet to your lips! An eagle swoops over the house of the Lord because they have broken my agreement and rebelled against my law.
ラッパをなんぢの口にあてよ敵は鷲のごとくヱホバの家にのぞめりこの民わが契約をやぶりわが律法を犯ししによる
2 Israel calls out to me, “Our God, we know you!”
かれら我にむかひてわが神よわれらイスラエルはなんぢを知れりと叫ばん
3 But Israel has rejected what is good. An enemy will chase after them.
イスラエルは善をいみきらへり敵これを追ん
4 They appointed kings without my consent and chose princes without my knowledge. With their silver and gold they made idols for their own destruction.
かれら王をたてたり然れども我により立しにあらずかれら牧伯をたてたり然れども我がしらざるところなり彼らまたその金銀をもて己がために偶像をつくれりその造れるは毀ちすてられんが爲にせしにことならず
5 Samaria, I reject this calf idol you have made! My anger burns against them! How long will you be incapable of being good?
サマリヤよなんぢの犢は忌きらふべきものなりわが怒かれらにむかひて燃ゆかれら何れの時にか罪なきにいたらん
6 This idol is from Israel! A craftsman made it—it's not God! The calf of Samaria will be broken in pieces!
この犢はイスラエルより出づ匠人のつくれる者にして神にあらずサマリヤの犢はくだけて粉とならん
7 Those who sow the wind will reap the whirlwind. The stalk has no head of grain; it will produce no flour. Even if it did produce grain, foreigners would swallow it all up.
かれらは風をまきて狂風をかりとらん種ところは生長る穀物なくその穂はみのらざるべしたとひ實るとも他邦人これを呑ん
8 Israel is swallowed up; among the nations they are like something nobody wants.
イスラエルは既に呑れたり彼等いま列國の中において悦ばれざる器のごとく視做るるなり
9 They have gone up to Assyria like a donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers.
彼らは獨ゐし野の驢馬のごとくアツスリヤにゆけりエフライムは物を餽りて戀人を得たり
10 Even though they have hired allies among the nations, I will gather them together. Then they will writhe under the burden of the great king.
かれら列國の民に物を餽りたりと雖も今われ彼等をつどへ集む彼らは諸侯伯の王に負せらるる重擔のために衰へ始めん
11 Though Ephraim built many altars to make sin offerings, they instead became altars of sin!
エフライムは多くの祭壇を造りて罪を犯すこの祭壇はかれらが罪に陥る階とはなれり
12 I wrote down for them the many aspects of my law, but they looked on them as foreign.
我かれらのために律法をしるして數件の箇條を示したれど彼らは反て之を異物とおもへり
13 They present me with their sacrifices, and they eat the meat, but I the Lord do not accept them. Now he will remember their wickedness, and punish them for their sins. They will return to Egypt.
かれらは我に献ふべき物を献ふれども只肉をそなへて己みづから之を食ふヱホバは之を納たまはず今かれらの愆を記え彼らの罪を罰したまはん彼らはエジプトに歸るべし
14 Israel has forgotten his maker, and built palaces; Judah has built many fortified cities. But I will rain fire down on their cities and burn up their fortresses.
イスラエルは己が造主を忘れてもろもろの社廟を建てユダは塀をとりまはせる邑を多く増し加へたり然どわれ火をその邑々におくりて諸の城を焼亡さん
