< Hosea 11 >

1 Because Israel [is] a youth, and I love him, Out of Egypt I have called for My Son.
イスラエルの幼かりしとき我これを愛しぬ我わが子をエジプトより呼いだしたり
2 They have called to them rightly, They have gone from before them, To lords they do sacrifice, And to graven images they make perfume.
かれらは呼るるに隨ひていよいよその呼者に遠ざかり且もろもろのバアルに犠牲をささげ雕たる偶像に香を焚り
3 And I have caused Ephraim to go on foot, Taking them by their arms, And they have not known that I strengthened them.
われエフライムに歩むことををしへ彼等をわが腕にのせて抱けり然どかれらは我にいやされたるを知ず
4 With cords of man I do draw them, With thick cords of love, And I am to them as a raiser up of a yoke on their jaws, And I incline unto him — I feed [him].
われ人にもちゐる索すなはち愛のつなをもて彼等をひけり我がかれらを待ふは軛をその腮より擧のくるもののごとくにして彼等に食物をあたへたり
5 He turneth not back unto the land of Egypt, And Asshur — he [is] his king, For they have refused to return.
かれらはエジプトの地にかへらじ然どかれらがヱホバに歸らざるによりてアッスリヤ人その王とならん
6 Grievous hath been the sword in his cities, And it hath ended his bars, and consumed — from their own counsels.
劍かれらの諸邑にまはりゆきてその關門をこぼち彼らをその謀計の故によりて滅さん
7 And My people are hanging in suspense, about My returning, And unto the Most High they do call, Together they exalt not.
わが民はともすれば我にはなれんとする心あり人これを招きて上に在るものに屬しめんとすれども身をおこすもの一人だになし
8 How do I give thee up, O Ephraim? Do I deliver thee up, O Israel? How do I make thee as Admah? Do I set thee as Zeboim? Turned in Me is My heart, kindled together have been My repentings.
エフライムよ我いかで汝をすてんやイスラエルよ我いかで汝をわたさんや我いかで汝をアデマのごとくせんや爭でなんぢをゼボイムのごとく爲んやわが心わが衷にかはりて我の愛憐ことごとく燃おこれり
9 I do not the fierceness of My anger, I turn not back to destroy Ephraim, For God I [am], and not a man. In thy midst the Holy One, and I enter not in enmity,
我わが烈しき震怒をほどこすことをせじ我かさねてエフライムを滅すことをせじ我は人にあらず神なればなり我は汝のうちにいます聖者なりいかりをもて臨まじ
10 After Jehovah they go — as a lion He roareth, When He doth roar, then tremble do the sons from the west.
かれらは獅子の吼るごとくに聲を出したまふヱホバに隨ひて歩まんヱホバ聲を出したまへば子等は西より急ぎ來らん
11 They tremble as a sparrow out of Egypt, And as a dove out of the land of Asshur, And I have caused them to dwell in their own houses, An affirmation of Jehovah.
かれらエジプトより鳥のごとくアッスリヤより鴿のごとくに急ぎ來らん我かれらをその家々に住はしむべし是ヱホバの聖言なり
12 Compassed Me with feigning hath Ephraim, And with deceit the house of Israel. And Judah again is ruling with God, And with the Holy Ones [is] faithful!
エフライムは謊言をもてイスラエルの家は詐僞をもて我を圍めりユダは神と信ある聖者とに屬きみつかずみ漂蕩をれり
