Hosea 2
1 “Say to your brothers—Ammi, And to your sisters—Ruhamah.
汝らの兄弟に向ひてはアンミ(わが民)と言ひ汝らの姉妹にむかひてはルハマ(憐まるる者)と言へ
2 Plead with your mother—plead (For she [is] not My wife, and I [am] not her husband), And she turns her whoredoms from before her, And her adulteries from between 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 strip her naked. And have set her up as [in] the day of her birth, And have made her as a wilderness, And have set her as a dry land, And have put her to death with 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 her sons I do not pity, For they [are] sons of whoredoms,
我その子等を憐まじ淫行の子等なればなり
5 For their mother has gone whoring, Their conceiver has acted shamefully, For she has said, I go after my lovers, Those giving my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.
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, behold, I am hedging up your way with thorns, And I have made a wall for her, And her paths she does not find.
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 And she has pursued her lovers, And she does not overtake them, And has sought them, and does not find [them], And she has said: I go, and I return to my first husband, For—better to me then than now.
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 And she did not know that I had given to her The grain, and the new wine, and the oil. Indeed, I multiplied silver to her, And the gold they prepared for Ba‘al.
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 I return, And I have taken My grain in its season, And My new wine in its appointed time, And I have taken away My wool and My flax, covering her nakedness.
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 I reveal her dishonor before the eyes of her lovers, And none deliver her out of My 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 And I have caused all her joy to cease, Her festival, her new moon, and her Sabbath, Even all her appointed times,
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一切の節會をして息しめん
12 And made desolate her vine and her fig tree, Of which she said, They [are] a wage to me, That my lovers have given to me, And I have made them for a forest, And a beast of the field has consumed 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獣をしてくらはしめん
13 And I have charged on her the days of the Ba‘alim, To whom she makes incense, And puts on her ring and her ornament, And goes after her lovers, And forgot Me,” a declaration of YHWH.
われかれが耳環頸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, behold, I am enticing her, And have caused her to go to the wilderness, And I have spoken to her heart,
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 given to her her vineyards from there, And the Valley of Achor for an opening of hope, And she has responded there as in the days of her youth, And as in the day of her coming up 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 it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH, “You call Me: My husband, And do not call Me anymore: My lord.
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 And I have turned aside the names of the lords from her mouth, And they are not remembered anymore by their name.
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 I have made a covenant for them in that day, With the beast of the field, And with the bird of the heavens, And the creeping thing of the ground, And bow, and sword, and war I break from off the land, And have caused them to lie down confidently.
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戰爭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 have betrothed you to Me for all time, And betrothed you to Me in righteousness, And in judgment, and kindness, and mercies,
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 And betrothed you to Me in faithfulness, And you have known YHWH.
かはることなき眞實をもて汝をめとるべし汝ヱホバをしらん
21 And it has come to pass in that day, I answer,” A declaration of YHWH, “I answer the heavens, and they answer 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 answers the grain, And the new wine, and the oil, And they answer Jezreel.
地は穀物と酒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 have sowed her to Me in the land, And I have pitied Lo-Ruhamah, And I have said to Lo-Ammi, You [are] My people, And he says, 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ひ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
