< Hosea 2 >
1 Say vnto your brethren, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah,
汝らの兄弟に向ひてはアンミ(わが民)と言ひ汝らの姉財にむかひてはルハマ(憐まるる者)と言へ
2 Plead with your mother: plead with her: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: but let her take away her fornications out of her sight, and her adulteries from betweene her breasts.
なんぢらの母とあげつらへ論辨ふことをせよ彼はわが妻にあらず我はかれの夫にあらざるなりなんぢら斯してかれにその面より淫行を除かせその乳房の間より姦淫をのぞかしめよ
3 Lest I strippe her naked, and set her as in the day that shee was borne, and make her as a wildernes, and leaue her like a drie land, and slaie her for thirst.
然らざれば我かれを剥て赤體にしその生れいでたる日のごとくにしまた荒野のごとくならしめ潤ひなき地のごとくならしめ渇によりて死しめん
4 And I wil haue no pitie vpon her children: for they be the children of fornications.
我その子等を憐まじ淫行の子等なればなり
5 For their mother hath plaied the harlot: she that conceiued them, hath done shamefully: for shee said, I will goe after my louers that giue me my bread and my water, my wooll and my flaxe, mine oyle and my drinke.
かれらの母は淫行をなせりかれらを生る者は恥べき事をおこなへり蓋かれいへる言あり我はわが戀人等につきしたがはん彼らはわがパンわが水わが羊毛わが麻わが油わが飮物などを我に與ふるなりと
6 Therefore beholde, I will stoope thy way with thornes, and make an hedge, that shee shall not finde her pathes.
この故にわれ荊棘をもてなんぢの路をふさぎ垣をたてて彼にその徑をえざらしむべし
7 Though shee follow after her louers, yet shall shee not come at them: though shee seeke them, yet shall shee not finde them: then shall she say, I will goe and returne to my first husband: for at that time was I better then nowe.
彼はその戀人たちの後をしたひゆけども追及ことなく之をたづぬれども遇ことなし是において彼いはん我ゆきてわが前の夫にかへるべしかのときのわが状態は今にまさりて善りきと
8 Nowe she did not knowe that I gaue her corne, and wine, and oyle, and multiplied her siluer and golde, which they bestowed vpon Baal.
彼が得る穀物と酒と油はわが與ふるところ彼がバアルのために用ゐたる金銀はわが彼に増あたへたるところなるを彼はしらざるなり
9 Therefore wil I returne, and take away my corne in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recouer my wool and my flaxe lent, to couer her shame.
これによりて我わが穀物をその時におよびて奪ひわが酒をその季にいたりてうばひ又かれの裸體をおほふに用ゆべきわが羊毛およびわが麻をとらん
10 And now will I discouer her lewdnes in the sight of her louers, and no man shall deliuer her out of mine hand.
今われかれの恥るところをその戀人等の目のまへに露すべし彼をわが手より救ふものあらじ
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast daies, her newe moones, and her Sabbathes, and all her solemne feasts.
我かれがすべての喜樂すなはち祝筵新月のいはひ安息日およびこの節會をして息しめん
12 And I wil destroy her vines and her figtrees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my louers haue giuen mee: and I will make them as a forest, and the wilde beasts shall eate them.
また彼の葡萄の樹と無花果樹をそこなはん彼さきに此等をさしてわが戀人の我にあたへし賞賜なりと言しがわれこれを林となし野の厭をしてくらはしめん
13 And I wil visit vpon her the daies of Baalim, wherein shee burnt incense to them: and shee decked her selfe with her earings and her iewels, and shee folowed her louers, and forgate me, saith the Lord.
われかれが耳環頚玉などを掛てその戀人らをしたひゆき我をわすれ香をたきて事へしもろもろのバアルの日のゆゑをもてその罪を罰せんヱホバかく言たまふ
14 Therefore beholde, I will allure her, and bring her into the wildernesse, and speake friendly vnto her.
斯るがゆゑに我かれを誘ひて荒野にみちびきいり終にかれの心をなぐさめ
15 And I will giue her her vineyardes from thence, and the valley of Achor for the doore of hope, and shee shall sing there as in the daies of her youth, and as in the daies when shee came vp out of the land of Egypt.
かしこを出るや直ちにわれかれにその葡萄園を與へアコル(艱難)の谷を望の門となしてあたへん彼はわかかりし時のごとくエジプトの國より上りきたりし時のごとくかしこにて歌うたはん
16 And at that day, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali.
ヱホバ言たまふその日にはなんぢ我をふたたびバアリとよばずしてイシ(吾夫)とよばん
17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall be no more remembred by their names.
我もろもろのバアルの名をかれが口よりとりのぞき重ねてその名を世に記憶せらるること無らしめん
18 And in that day wil I make a couenant for them, with the wilde beasts, and with the foules of the heauen, and with that that creepeth vpon the earth: and I will breake the bowe, and the sworde and the battell out of the earth, and will make them to sleepe safely.
その日には我かれら(我民)のために野の獣そらの鳥および地の昆蟲と誓約をむすびまた弓箭ををり戦争を全世界よりのぞき彼らをして安らかに居しむべし
19 And I wil marry thee vnto me for euer: yea, I will marry thee vnto me in righteousnes, and in iudgement, and in mercy and in compassion.
われ汝をめとりて永遠にいたらん公義と公平と寵愛と憐憫とをもてなんぢを娶り
20 I will euen marry thee vnto me in faithfulnes, and thou shalt knowe the Lord.
かはることなき眞実をもて汝をめとるべし汝ヱホバをしらん
21 And in that day I wil heare, saith the Lord, I will euen heare the heauens, and they shall heare the earth,
ヱホバいひ給ふその日われ應へん我は天にこたへ天は地にこたへ
22 And the earth shall heare the corne, and the wine, and the oyle, and they shall heare Izreel.
地は穀物と洒と油とに應へまた是等のものはヱズレルに應へん
23 And I will sowe her vnto me in the earth, and I will haue mercie vpon her, that was not pitied, and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people. And they shall say, Thou art my God.
我わがためにかれを地にまき憐まれざりし者をあはれみわが民ならざりし者にむかて汝はわが民なりといはんかれらは我にむかひて汝はわが神なりといはん
