< Hosea 13 >

1 When Ephraim, spake, there was terror, exalted was, he, in Israel, —but, when he became guilty with Baal, then he died.
エフライム言を出せば人をののけり彼はイスラエルのなかに己をたかうしバアルにより罪を犯して死たりしが
2 Now, therefore they go on to sin, and have made them a Molten Thing out of their silver, after the notion of idols, the workmanship of craftsmen, all of it! Of them, are they saying—Ye sacrificers of men! The Great Calf, shall ye surely kiss!
今も尚ますます罪を犯しその銀をもて己のために像を鋳その機巧にしたがひて偶像を作る是みな工人の作なるなり彼らは之につきていふ犠牲を献ぐる者はこの犢に吻を接べしと
3 Therefore, shall they become like the morning cloud, and like the dew early departing, —like chaff storm-driven out of the threshing-floor, and like smoke out of a chimney.
是によりて彼らは朝の雲のごとく速にきえうする露のごとく打場より大風に吹散さるる穀殻のごとく窓より出ゆく煙のごとくならん
4 Yet, I, Yahweh, have been thy God from the land of Egypt, —and, god beside me, shalt thou not acknowledge, for, saviour, is there none besides me.
されど我はエジプトの國をいでてより來なんぢの神ヱホバなり爾われの外に神を知ことなし我のほかに救者なし
5 I, tended thee in the desert, —in a land parched with drought:
我さきに荒野にて水なき地にて爾を顧みたり
6 Whenever they were pastured, then were they satisfied, They were satisfied, and their heart, was lifted up, —because of this, they forgat me.
かれらは秣場によりて食に飽き飽くによりてその心たかぶり是によりて我を忘れたり
7 Therefore am I become to them as a lion, —As a leopard by the way, do I watch.
斯るがゆゑに我かれらに對ひて獅子の如くなり途の傍にひそみうかがふ豹のごとくならん
8 I will fall upon them as a bear bereaved, and will read asunder the enclosure of their heart, —that I may devour them there, like a lioness, the wild beast of the field, shall tear them in pieces.
われ子をうしなへる熊のごとく彼らに向ひてその心膜を裂き獅子の如くこれを食はん野の獣これを攫断るべし
9 It hath utterly destroyed thee, O Israel, for it was against me, as thy helper!
イスラエルよ汝の滅ぶるは我に背き汝を助くる者に背くが故なり
10 Where is thy king, then, that he may save thee throughout all thy cities? and thy judges, concerning whom thou saidst, Oh give me a king and rulers?
汝のもろもろの邑に汝を助くべき汝の王は今いづくにかあるなんぢらがその王と牧伯等とを我に與へよと言たりし士師等は今いづくにかある
11 I might give thee a king in mine anger, and take him away in my wrath.
われ忿怒をもて汝に王を與へ憤恨をもて之をうばひたり
12 Bound up, is the iniquity of Ephraim, stored away, his sin.
エフライムの不義は包まれてありその罪はをさめたくはへられたり
13 The pangs of a woman in labour, shall overtake him, —he, is a son, not wise, for, now, he cannot stand still, when children are about to be born.
劬労にかかれる婦のかなしみ之に臨まん彼は愚なる子なり時に臨みてもなほ産門に入らず
14 Out of the hand of hades, will I ransom them, out of death, will I redeem them, —Where is thy pestilence, O death? Where thy plague, O hades? Repentance, shall be hid from mine eyes. (Sheol h7585)
我かれらを陰府の手より贖はん我かれらを死より贖はん死よなんぢの疫は何處にあるか陰府よなんぢの災は何處にあるか悔改はかくれて我が目にみえず (Sheol h7585)
15 Though, he, among brethren, be fruitful, there shall come in an east wind, the blast of Yahweh out of the desert coming up, that his spring, may dry up, and his fountain, be exhausted, he, will rob the treasure-house of all the vessels of delight.
彼は兄弟のなかにて果を結ぶこと多けれども東風吹きたりヱホバの息荒野より吹おこらん之がためにその泉は乾その源は涸れんその積蓄へたるもろもろの賓貴器皿は掠め奪はるべし
16 Samaria, shall be held guilty, for she hath rebelled against her God, By the sword, shall they fall, their infants, shall be dashed to the ground, and, his women with child, shall be ripped up.
サマリヤはその神にそむきたれば刑せられ劍に斃れんその嬰兒はなげくだかれその孕たる婦は剖れん
