Hosea 6

1 'Come, and let us return unto the LORD; for He hath torn, and He will heal us, He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.

來れわれらヱホバにかへるべし ヱホバわれらを抓劈たまひたれどもまた醫すことをなし我儕をうち給ひたれどもまたその傷をつつむことを爲したまふ可ればなり

2 After two days will He revive us, on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His presence.

ヱホバは二日ののちわれらむ活かへし三日にわれらを起せたまはん 我らその前にて生ん

3 And let us know, eagerly strive to know the LORD, His going forth is sure as the morning; and He shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth.'

この故にわれらヱホバをしるべし切にヱホバを知ることを求むべしヱホバは晨光のごとく必ずあらはれいで雨のごとくわれらにのぞみ後の雨のごとく地をうるほし給ふ

4 O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away.

エフライムよ我なんぢに何をなさんやユダよ我なんぢに何をなさんやなんぢの愛情はあしたの雲のごとくまたただちにきゆる露のごとし

5 Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets, I have slain them by the words of My mouth; and thy judgment goeth forth as the light.

このゆゑにわれ預言者等をもてかれらを撃ちわが口の言をもてかれらえを殺せりわが審判はあらはれいづる光明のごとし

6 For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God rather than burnt-offerings.

われは愛情をよろこびて犠牲をよろこばず神をしるを悦ぶこと燔祭にまされり

7 But they like men have transgressed the covenant; there have they dealt treacherously against Me.

然るに彼らはアダムのごとく誓をやぶりかしこにて不義をわれにおこなへり

8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, it is covered with footprints of blood.

ギレアデは惡をおこなふものの邑にして血の足跡そのなかに徧し

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so doth the company of priests; they murder in the way toward Shechem; yea, they commit enormity.

祭司のともがらは山賊の群のごとく伏伺して人をそこなひシケムに往く大路にて人をころす彼等はかくのごとき惡きことをおこなへり

10 In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; there harlotry is found in Ephraim, Israel is defiled.

われイスラエルのいへに憎むべきことあるを見たりかの處にてエフライムは淫をおこなふイスフルは汚れたり

11 Also, O Judah, there is a harvest appointed for thee! When I would turn the captivity of My people,

ユダよ我わが民の俘囚をかへさんときまた汝のためにも穫刈をそなへん
