Hosea 6

1 “Come, and we turn back to YHWH, For He has torn, and He heals us, He strikes, and He binds 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 He revives us after two days, In the third day He raises us up, And we live before Him.

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 we know—we pursue to know YHWH, His going forth is prepared as the dawn, And He comes in as a shower to us, As spring rain [and] autumn rain to the earth.”

この故にわれらヱホバをしるべし切にヱホバを知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 “What do I do to you, O Ephraim? What do I do to you, O Judah? Your goodness [is] as a cloud of the morning, And as dew rising early—going.

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 I have hewed by prophets, I have slain them by sayings of My mouth, And My judgments go forth to 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 kindness I desired, and not sacrifice, And a knowledge of God above burnt-offerings.

われは愛憎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 And they, as Adam, transgressed a covenant, There 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 workers of iniquity, Slippery from 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 bands wait for a man, A company of priests murder—the way to Shechem, For they have done wickedness.

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 [is] the whoredom of 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, a harvest is appointed to you, In My turning back [to] 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
