Hosea 6

1 Come, and let us return to the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind 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 After two days will he revive us: in the third day will he raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.

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 Then shall we know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he will come to us as the rain, as the latter [and] former 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る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 O Ephraim, what shall I do to thee? O Judah, what shall I do to thee? for your goodness [is] as the morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away.

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 have I hewed [them] by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments [are as] the light [that] goeth forth.

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 I desired mercy, and not sacrifice: and the knowledge of God more than burnt-offerings.

われは愛情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 But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have 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 them that work iniquity, [and is] polluted with 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 troops of robbers wait for a man, [so] the company of priests murder in the way by consent: for they commit lewdness.

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 I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there [is] the prostitution 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, he hath set a harvest for thee, when I returned 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
