< Hosea 1 >
1 [I am] Hosea, the son of Beeri. Yahweh gave me these messages [at various times] during the years that Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah were the kings of Judah, and Jeroboam the son of Jehoash was the King of Israel.
これユダの王ウジヤ、ヨタム、アハズ、ヒゼキヤの世イスラエルの王ヨアシの子ヤラベアムの世にベエリの子ホセアに臨めるヱホバの言なり
2 When Yahweh first [began to] give messages to me [to tell to the people of Israel], he said to me, “Go and marry a prostitute. But [some of] her children will be born as a result of her having sex with men to whom she is not married. That will illustrate how the people of Israel have turned away from me and worship (idols/other gods).”
ヱホバはじめホセアによりて語りたまへる時ヱホバ、ホセアに宣はく汝ゆきて淫行の婦人を娶り淫行の子等を取れ この國ヱホバに遠ざかりてはなはだしき淫行をなせばなり
3 So I married Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim. She became pregnant and gave birth to my son.
是において彼ゆきてデブライムの女子ゴメルを妻に娶りけるがその婦はらみて男子を產り
4 Yahweh said to me, “Give him the name Jezreel, [which means ‘God scatters’], because I will soon punish the descendants [MTY] of [King] Jehu [by scattering them], because he killed many of my people at Jezreel [town]. [Some day] I will end the kingdom of Israel,
ヱホバまた彼にいひ給ひけるは汝その名をヱズレルと名くべし 暫時ありて我ヱズレルの血をヱヒウの家に報いイスラエルの家の國をほろぼすべければなり
5 by destroying the power [MTY] of [the army of] Israel in Jezreel Valley.”
その日われヱズレルの谷にてイスラエルの弓を折べしと
6 [Later] Gomer became pregnant [again], and she gave birth to a daughter. Yahweh said to me “Give her the name Lo-ruhamah, [which means ‘not loved],’ because I will no longer [show that I] love the people [MET] of Israel, and I will not forgive them [for the sins that they have committed].
ゴメルまた孕みて女子を產ければヱホバ、ホセアに言たまひけるは汝その名をロルマハ(憐まれぬ者)と名くべしそは我もはやイスラエルの家をあはれみて赦すが如きことを爲ざるべければなり
7 But I will [show that I] love the people [MTY] of Judah [by saving them from their enemies]. However, it will not be by weapons and armies or horses and chariots that I will save them. Instead, it will be by [the power that I], Yahweh their God, [have].”
然どわれユダの家をあはれまん その神ヱホバによりて之をすくはん 我は弓劍戰爭馬騎兵などによりてすくふことをせじ
8 After Gomer had (weaned/stopped breast-feeding) Lo-ruhamah, she became pregnant again, and she gave birth to another son.
ロルハマ乳をやめゴメルまた孕みて男子を產けるに
9 Yahweh said “Give him the name Lo-ammi, [which means 'not my people', ] because the people of Israel are no [longer my people], and I am not their God.
ヱホバ言たまひけるはその子の名をロアンミ(吾民に非ざる者)と名くべし 其は汝らは吾民にあらず我は汝らの神に非ざればなり
10 But [some day] the people of Israel will be [as numerous] as [SIM] the [grains of] sand on the seashore; no one will be able to count them. Now [I] am saying to them, ‘You are not my people,’ but then people will say to them, ‘[You are the] children of God who is all-powerful.’
然どイスラエルの子孫の數は濱の沙石のごとくに成ゆきて量ることも數ふる事も爲しがたく前になんぢらわが民にあらずと言れしその處にて汝らは活神の子なりと言れんとす
11 [At that time], the people of Judah and the people of Israel will unite. They will appoint one leader for all of them, and they will return from the countries [to which they have been (exiled/forced to go)]. That will be a great time; Jezreel [also means ‘God plants’, and it will be as though God will plant them in this country again].”
斯てユダの子孫とイスラエルの子孫は共に集り一人の首をたててその地より上り來らん ヱズレルの日は大なるべし
