< Hosea 10 >
1 'An empty vine [is] Israel, Fruit he maketh like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He hath multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made goodly standing-pillars.
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 hath been divided, now they are guilty, He doth break down their altars, He doth destroy their standing-pillars.
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 For now they say: We have no king, Because we have not feared Jehovah, And the king — what doth he 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 have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb hath judgment, on the furrows of a 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 For the calves of Beth-Aven fear do inhabitants of Samaria, Surely mourned on account of it hath its people, And its priests on account of it leap about, Because of its honour, for it hath removed from it,
サマリヤの居民はベテアベンの犢の故によりて戰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 Also it to Asshur is carried, a present to a warlike king, Shame doth Ephraim receive, And ashamed is Israel of its own counsel.
犢はアッスリヤに携へられ禮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 Cut off is Samaria! Its king [is] as a chip on the face of the waters.
サマリヤはほろびその王は水のうへの木片のごとし
8 And destroyed have been high places of Aven, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall upon 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 From the days of Gibeah thou hast sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Not overtake them in Gibeah doth battle, Because of sons of perverseness.
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戰爭はギベアにてかれらに及ばざりき
10 When I desire, then I do bind them, And gathered against them have peoples, When they bind themselves to their two iniquities.
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 And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer — loving to thresh, And I — I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Plough doth Judah, harrow for him doth Jacob.
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 for yourselves in righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek Jehovah, Till he come and shew righteousness to 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 Ye have ploughed wickedness, Perversity ye have reaped, Ye have eaten the fruit of lying, For thou hast trusted in thy way, In the abundance of thy might.
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 And rise doth a tumult among thy people, And all thy fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
この故になんぢらの民のなかに擾亂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戰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碎かれたり
15 Thus hath Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn cut off utterly is a king of Israel!
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
