Hosea 12
1 “Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day he multiplies lying and spoiling, And they make a covenant with Asshur, And oil is carried to Egypt.
エフライムは風をくらひ東風をおひ日々に詐偽と暴逆とを増くはへアツスリヤと契約を結び油をエジプトに餽れり
2 And YHWH has a controversy with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, He returns to him according to his doings.
ヱホバはユダと争辨をなしたまふヤコブをその途にしたがひて罰しその行爲にしたがひて報いたまふ
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,
ヤコブは胎にゐし時その兄弟の踵をとらへまた己が力をもて神と角力あらそへり
4 Indeed, he is a prince to the Messenger, And he overcomes [by] weeping, And he makes supplication to Him, At Bethel He finds him, And there He speaks with us,
かれは天の使と角力あらそひて勝ちなきて之に恩をもとめたり彼はベテルにて神にあへり其處にて神われらに語ひたまへり
5 Even YHWH, God of the Hosts, YHWH [is] His memorial.
これは萬軍の神ヱホバなりヱホバは其記念の名なり
6 And you, through your God, turn, Keep kindness and judgment, And wait on your God continually.
然ばなんぢの神にかへり衿恤と公義とをまもり恒になんぢの神を仰ぐべし
7 Canaan! In his hand [are] balances of deceit! He has loved to oppress.
彼はカナン人(商賈)なりその手に脆詐の權衡をもち好であざむき取ことをなす
8 And Ephraim says, Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labors—they do not find against me iniquity that [is] sin.
エフライムはいふ誠にわれは富る者となれり我は身に財寳をえたり凡てわが労したることの中に罪をうべき不義を見いだす者なかるべし
9 And I—your God YHWH from the land of Egypt, Again I turn you back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
我ヱホバはエジプトの國をいでしより以來なんぢらの神なり我いまも尚なんぢを幕屋にすまはせて節会の日のごとくならしめん
10 And I have spoken to the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use allegories.
我もろもろの預言者にかたり又これに益々おほく異象をしめしたり我もろもろの預言者に托して譬喩をまうく
11 Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, They have been only vanity, In Gilead they have sacrificed bullocks, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.
ギレアデは不義なる者ならずや彼らは全く虚しかれらはギルガルにて牛を犠牲に献ぐかれらの祭壇は圃の畝につみたる石の如し
12 And Jacob flees to the country of Aram, And Israel serves for a wife, Indeed, he has kept watch for a wife.
ヤコブはアラムの野ににげゆけりイスラエルは妻を得んために人に事へ妻を得んために羊を牧へり
13 And by a prophet has YHWH brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it has been watched.
ヱホバ一人の預言者をもてイスラエルをエジプトより導きいだし一人の預言者をもて之を護りたまへり
14 Ephraim has most bitterly provoked, And he leaves his blood on himself, And his Lord turns his reproach back to him!”
エフライムは怒を激ふること極てはなはだしその主かれが流しし血をかれが上にとどめその恥辱をかれに歸らせたまはん
