Hosea 7
1 When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, also the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the gang of robbers ravages outside.
われイスラエルを醫さんときエフライムの愆とサマリヤのあしきわざと露るかれらは詐詭をおこなひ内には偸盗いるあり外には山賊のむれ掠めさるあり かれら心にわがその一切の惡をしたためたることを思はず今その行爲はかれらを囲みふさぎて皆わが目前にあり
2 They do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
かれらはその惡をもて王を悦ばせその詐詭をもてもろもろの牧伯を悦ばせり
4 They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
かれらはみな姦淫をおこなふ者にしてパンを作るものに焼るる爐のごとし揑粉をこねてその発酵ときまでしばらく火をおこすことをせざるのみなり
5 On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.
われらの王の目にもろもろの牧伯は洒の熱によりて疾し王は嘲るものとともに手を伸ぶ
6 For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
かれら伏伺するほどに心を爐のごとくして備をなすそのパンを焼くものは終夜ねむりにつき朝におよべばまた焔のごとく燃ゆ
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one among them who calls to me.
かれらはみな爐のごとくに熱してその審士をやくそのもろもろの王はみな仆るかれらの中には我をよぶもの一人だになし
8 Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.
エフライムは異邦人にいりまじるエフライムはかへさざる餹餅となれり
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he doesn't realize it. Indeed, gray hairs are here and there on him, and he doesn't realize it.
かれは他邦人らにその力をのまるれども之をしらず白髪その身に雑り生れどもこれをさとらず
10 The pride of Israel testifies to his face; yet they haven't returned to YHWH their God, nor sought him, for all this.
イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなすかれらは此もろもろの事あれどもその神ヱホバに歸ることをせず又もとむることをせざるなり
11 "Ephraim is like an easily deceived dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
エフライムは智慧なくして愚なる鴿のごとし彼等はエジプトにむかひて呼求めまたアツスリヤに往く
12 When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
我かれらの往ときわが網をその上にはりて天空の鳥のごとくに引堕し前にその公会に告しごとくかれらを懲しめん
13 Woe to them. For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them. For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
禍なるかなかれらは我をはなれて迷ひいでたり敗壊かれらにきたらんかれらは我にむかひて罪ををかしたり我かれらを贖はんとおもへどもかれら我にさからひて謊言をいへり
14 They haven't cried to me with their heart, but they wail on their beds. They cut themselves for grain and new wine. They turn away from me.
かれら誠心をもて我をよばず唯牀にありて哀號べりかれらは穀物とあたらしき酒のゆゑをもて相集りかつわれに逆らふ
15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they plot evil against me.
我かれらを教へその腕をつよくせしかども披らはわれにもとりて惡きことを謀る
16 They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a faulty bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.
かれらは歸るされども至高者にかへらず彼らはたのみがたき弓のごとし彼らのもろもろの牧伯はその舌のあらき言によりて劍にたふれん彼らは之がためにエジプトの國にて嘲笑をうくべし
