Hosea 12
1 Ephraim is enjoying wind, And is pursuing an east wind, All the day lying and spoiling he multiplieth, And a covenant with Asshur they make, And oil to Egypt is carried.
エフライムは風をくらひ東風をおひ日々に詐偽と暴逆とを増くはへアツスリヤと契約を結び油をエジプトに餽れり
2 And a controversy hath Jehovah with Judah, To lay a charge on Jacob according to his ways, According to his doings He returneth to him.
ヱホバはユダと争辨をなしたまふヤコブをその途にしたがひて罰しその行爲にしたがひて報いたまふ
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel, And by his strength he was a prince with God,
ヤコブは胎にゐし時その兄弟の踵をとらへまた己が力をもて神と角力あらそへり
4 Yea, he is a prince unto the Messenger, And he overcometh [by] weeping, And he maketh supplication to Him, At Bethel He doth find him, And there He doth speak with us,
かれは天の使と角力あらそひて勝ちなきて之に恩をもとめたり彼はベテルにて神にあへり其處にて神われらに語ひたまへり
5 Even Jehovah, God of the Hosts, Jehovah [is] His memorial.
これは萬軍の神ヱホバなりヱホバは其記念の名なり
6 And thou, through thy God, dost turn, Kindness and judgment keep thou, And wait on thy God continually.
然ばなんぢの神にかへり衿恤と公義とをまもり恒になんぢの神を仰ぐべし
7 Canaan! in his hand [are] balances of deceit! To oppress he hath loved.
彼はカナン人(商賈)なりその手に脆詐の權衡をもち好であざむき取ことをなす
8 And Ephraim saith: 'Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself, All my labours — they find not against me iniquity that [is] sin.'
エフライムはいふ誠にわれは富る者となれり我は身に財寳をえたり凡てわが労したることの中に罪をうべき不義を見いだす者なかるべし
9 And I — Jehovah thy God from the land of Egypt, Again do I turn thee back into tents, As in the days of the appointed time.
我ヱホバはエジプトの國をいでしより以來なんぢらの神なり我いまも尚なんぢを幕屋にすまはせて節会の日のごとくならしめん
10 And I have spoken unto the prophets, And I have multiplied vision, And by the hand of the prophets I use similes.
我もろもろの預言者にかたり又これに益々おほく異象をしめしたり我もろもろの預言者に托して譬喩をまうく
11 Surely Gilead [is] iniquity, Only, vanity they have been, In Gilead bullocks they have sacrificed, Also their altars [are] as heaps, on the furrows of a field.
ギレアデは不義なる者ならずや彼らは全く虚しかれらはギルガルにて牛を犠牲に献ぐかれらの祭壇は圃の畝につみたる石の如し
12 And Jacob doth flee to the country of Aram, And Israel doth serve for a wife, Yea, for a wife he hath kept watch.
ヤコブはアラムの野ににげゆけりイスラエルは妻を得んために人に事へ妻を得んために羊を牧へり
13 And by a prophet hath Jehovah brought up Israel out of Egypt, And by a prophet it hath been watched.
ヱホバ一人の預言者をもてイスラエルをエジプトより導きいだし一人の預言者をもて之を護りたまへり
14 Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly, And his blood on himself he leaveth, And his reproach turn back to him doth his Lord!
エフライムは怒を激ふること極てはなはだしその主かれが流しし血をかれが上にとどめその恥辱をかれに歸らせたまはん
