Hosea 12
1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.
エフライムは風をくらひ東風をおひ日々に詐僞と暴逆とを増くはへアッスリヤと契約を結び油をエジプトに餽れり
2 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
ヱホバはユダと爭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 in his manhood he had power 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 yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him at Beth-el, and there he spake 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 the LORD, the God of hosts; the LORD 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 Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
然ばなんぢの神にかへり矜恤と公義とをまもり恒になんぢの神を仰ぐべし
7 [He is] a trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
彼はカナン人(商賈)なりその手に詭詐の權衡をもち好であざむき取ことをなす
8 And Ephraim said, Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth: in all my labours they shall find in me none iniquity that were 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勞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 But I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the solemn feast.
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會の日のごとくならしめん
10 I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes.
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 Is Gilead iniquity? they are altogether vanity; in Gilgal they sacrifice bullocks: yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the 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 fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept [sheep].
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 the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved.
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 hath provoked to anger most bitterly: therefore shall his blood be left upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto 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
