Hosea 13
1 When once Ephraim spoke, [all] trembled, so high was he exalted in Israel; but he offended through Ba'al, and he died.
エフライム言を出せば人をののけり彼はイスラエルのなかに己をたかうしバアルにより罪を犯して死たりしが
2 And now they yet continue to sin, and have made themselves molten images of their silver, idols according to their own imagining, every one of them the work of the artisan: they say to them, They that sacrifice men may kiss the calves.
今も尚ますます罪を犯しその銀をもて己のために像を鋳その機巧にしたがひて偶像を作る是みな工人の作なるなり彼らは之につきていふ犠牲を献ぐる者はこの犢に吻を接べしと
3 Therefore shall they be as the morning cloud, and as the dew that early passeth away, as the chaff that is driven by the whirlwind out of the threshing-floor, and as smoke out of a window.
是によりて彼らは朝の雲のごとく速にきえうする露のごとく打場より大風に吹散さるる穀殻のごとく窓より出ゆく煙のごとくならん
4 Yet I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and no god but me shalt thou know, and there is no saviour beside me.
されど我はエジプトの國をいでてより以來なんぢの神ヱホバなり爾われの外に神を知ことなし我のほかに救者なし
5 I myself did provide for thee in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.
我さきに荒野にて水なき地にて爾を顧みたり
6 When they came to their pasture, they became sated; they were sated, and their heart was lifted up: therefore have they forgotten me.
かれらは秣場によりて食に飽き飽くによりてその心たかぶり是によりて我を忘れたり
7 And now I will be unto them as a lion: as a leopard will I lie in wait by the way.
斯るがゆゑに我かれらに對ひて獅子の如くなり途の傍にひそみうかがふ豹のごとくならん
8 I will meet them as a bear bereaved of her whelps, and I will rend their closed-up heart; and I will devour them there like a lioness, the beasts of the field shall rend them.
われ子をうしなへる熊のごとく彼らに向ひてその心膜を裂き獅子の如くこれを食はん野の獣これを攫斷るべし
9 Thou hast destroyed thyself, O Israel; for against me, against thy helper [didst thou rebel.]
イスラエルよ汝の滅ぶるは我に背き汝を助くる者に背くが故なり
10 Where then is now thy king, that he may save thee in all thy cities? and thy judges, since thou saidst, Give me a king, and princes?
汝のもろもろの邑に汝を助くべき汝の王は今いづくにかあるなんぢらがその王と牧伯等とを我に與へよと言たりし士師等は今いづくにかある
11 I give thee a king in my anger, and take him away in my wrath.
われ忿怒をもて汝に王を與へ憤恨をもて之をうばひたり
12 Bound up is the iniquity of Ephraim, treasured up is his sin.
エフライムの不義は包まれてありその罪はをさめたくはへられたり
13 The pains of a travailing woman shall come upon him; he is an unwise son; for he will not remain steadfast at the time of the breaking forth of the child.
劬勞にかかれる婦のかなしみ之に臨まん彼は愚なる子なり時に臨みてもなほ產門に入らず
14 From the power of the grave would I ransom them, from death would I redeem them; [but now] where are thy plagues, O death, where is thy pestilence, O grave? compassion shall be hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
我かれらを陰府の手より贖はん我かれらを死より贖はん死よなんぢの疫は何處にあるか陰府よなんぢの災は何處にあるか悔改はかくれて我が目にみえず (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he grow luxuriantly in the green meadows, the east wind shall come, the wind of the Lord, rising up from the wilderness, and his spring shall become dry, and his fountain shall be dried up: the same shall plunder the treasure of all precious vessels.
彼は兄弟のなかにて果を結ぶこと多けれども東風吹きたりヱホバの息荒野より吹おこらん之がためにその泉は乾その源は涸れんその積蓄へたるもろもろの賓貴器皿は掠め奪はるべし
16 Samaria shall meet her punishment; for she hath rebelled against her God: by the sword shall they fall; their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women shall be ripped up.
サマリヤはその神にそむきたれば刑せられ劍に斃れんその嬰兒はなげくだかれその孕たる婦は剖れん
