< Hosea 10 >

1 Israel is a luxuriant vine that produces his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.
イスラエルは果をむすびて茂り榮る葡萄の樹その果の多くなるがままに祭壇をましその地の饒かなるがままに偶像を美しくせり
2 Their heart is divided. Now they will be found guilty. He will demolish their altars. He will destroy their sacred stones.
かれらは二心をいだけり今かれら罪せらるべし神はその祭壇を打毀ちその偶像を折棄てたまはん
3 Surely now they will say, “We have no king; for we don’t fear the LORD; and the king, what can he do for us?”
かれら今いふべし我儕神を畏れざりしに因て我らに王なしこの王はわれらのために何をかなさんと
4 They make promises, swearing falsely in making covenants. Therefore judgement springs up like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.
かれらは虚しき言をいだし偽の誓をなして約をたつ審判は畑の畝にもえいづる茵蔯のごとし
5 The inhabitants of Samaria will be in terror for the calves of Beth Aven, for its people will mourn over it, along with its priests who rejoiced over it, for its glory, because it has departed from it.
サマリヤの居民はベテアベンの犢の故によりて戦慄かんその民とこれを悦ぶ祭司等はその榮のうせたるが爲になげかん
6 It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.
犢はアツスリヤに携へられ礼物としてヤレブ王に献げらるべしエフライムは羞をかうむりイスラエルはおのが計議を恥ぢん
7 Samaria and her king float away like a twig on the water.
サマリヤはぼろびその王は水のうへの木片のごとし
8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, will be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle will come up on their altars. They will tell the mountains, “Cover us!” and the hills, “Fall on us!”
イスラエルの罪なるアベンの崇邱は荒はてて荊棘と蒺藜その壇のうへにはえ茂らんその時かれら山にむかひて我儕をおほへ陵にむかひて我儕のうへに倒れよといはん
9 “Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn’t overtake them in Gibeah.
イスラエルよ汝はギベアの日より罪ををかせり彼等はそこに立り邪惡のひとびとを攻たりし戦争はギベアにてかれらに及ばざりき
10 When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the nations will be gathered against them when they are bound to their two transgressions.
我思ふままに彼等をいましめん彼等その二の罪につながれん時もろもろの民あつまりて之をせめん
11 Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh, so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plough. Jacob will break his clods.
エフライムは馴されたる牝牛のごとくにして穀をふむことを好むされどわれその美しき頸に物を負しむべし我エフライムに軛をかけんユダは耕しヤコブは土塊をくだかん
12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.
なんぢら義を生ずるために種をまき憐憫にしたがひてかりとり又新地をひらけ今はヱホバを求むべき時なり終にはヱホバきたりて義を雨のごとく汝等のうへに降せたまはん
13 You have ploughed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
なんぢらは惡をたがへし不義を穫をさめ虚偽の果をくらへりこは汝おのれの途をたのみ己が勇士の數衆きをたのめるに縁る
14 Therefore a battle roar will arise amongst your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.
この故になんぢらの民のなかに騒乱おこりて汝らの城はことごとく打破られんシャルマンが戦門の日にベテアルベルを打破りしにことならず母その子とともに砕かれたり
15 So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.
なんぢらの大なる惡のゆゑによりてべテル如此なんぢらに行へるなりイスラエルの王はあしたに滅びん
