Hosea 5
1 'Hear this, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For, a snare ye have been on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
祭司等よこれを聽けイスラエルの家よ耳をかたむけよ 王のいへよ之にこころを注よ さばきは汝等にのぞまん そは我らはミズパに設くる羂タボルに張れる網のごとくなればなり
2 And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a fetter to them all.
悖逆者はふかく罪にしづみたり我かれらをことごとく懲しめん
3 I have known Ephraim, And Israel hath not been hid from me, For now thou hast gone a-whoring, Ephraim, Defiled is Israel.
我はエフライムを知る イスラエルはわれに隱るるところ無し エフライムよなんぢ今すでに淫行をなせりイスラエルはすでに汚れたり
4 They give not up their habitual doings, To turn back unto their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And Jehovah they have not known.
かれらの行爲かれらをしてその神に歸ること能はざらしむ そは淫行の霊その衷にありてヱホバを知ることなければなり
5 And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Stumbled also hath Judah with them.
イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなしその罪によりてイスラエルとエフライムは仆れユダもまた之とともにたふれん
6 With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek Jehovah, and do not find, He hath withdrawn from them.
かれらは羊のむれ牛の群をたづさへ往てヱホバを尋ね求めん然どあふことあらじヱホバ旣にかれらより離れ給ひたればなり
7 Against Jehovah they dealt treacherously, For strange sons they have begotten, Now consume them doth a month [with] their portions.
かれらヱホバにむかひ貞操を守らずして他人の子を產り新月かれらとその產業とをともに滅さん
8 Blow ye a cornet in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after thee, O Benjamin.
なんぢらギベアにて角をふきラマにてラッパを吹ならしベテアベンにて呼はりて言へベニヤミンよなんぢの後にありと
9 Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, Among the tribes of Israel I have made known a sure thing.
罰せらるるの日にエフライムは荒廢れん我イスラエルの支派の中にかならず有るべきことを示せり
10 Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, On them I do pour out as water My wrath.
ユダの牧伯等は境界をうつすもののごとくなれり我わが震怒を水のごとくに彼らのうへに斟がん
11 Oppressed is Ephraim, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
エフライムは甘んじて人のさだめたるところに從ひあゆむがゆゑに鞫をうけて虐げられ圧られん
12 And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing to the house of Judah.
われエフライムには蠧のごとくユダの家には腐朽のごとし
13 And see doth Ephraim his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goeth unto Asshur, And sendeth unto a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor doth he remove from you a scar.
エフライムおのれに病あるを見ユダおのれに傷あるをみたり斯てエフライムはアツスリヤに往きヤレブ王に人をつかはしたれど彼はなんぢらを醫すことをえず又なんぢらの傷をのぞきさることを得ざるべし
14 For I [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I — I tear and go, I bear away, and there is no deliverer.
われエフライムには獅子のごとくユダの家にはわかき獅子のごとし我しも我は抓劈てさり掠めゆけども救ふ者なかるべし
15 I go — I turn back unto My place, Till that they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they do seek Me speedily!'
我ふたたびわが處にかへりゆき彼らがその罪をくいてひたすらわが面をたづね求むるまで其處にをらん彼らは艱難によりて我をたづねもとむることをせん
