Hosea 7
1 'When I give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,
われイスラエルを醫さんときエフライムの愆とサマリヤのあしきわざと露るかれらは詐詭をおこなひ内には偸盗いるあり外には山賊のむれ掠めさるあり
2 And they do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.
かれら心にわがその一切の惡をしたためたることを思はず今その行爲はかれらを圍みふさぎて皆わが目前にあり
3 With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.
かれらはその惡をもて王を悦ばせその詐詭をもてもろもろの牧伯を悦ばせり
4 All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.
かれらはみな姦淫をおこなふ者にしてパンを作るものに燒るる爐のごとし揑粉をこねてその發酵ときまでしばらく火をおこすことをせざるのみなり
5 A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.
われらの王の日にもろもろの牧伯は酒の熱によりて疾し王は嘲るものとともに手を伸ぶ
6 For they have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire.
かれら伏伺するほどに心を爐のごとくして備をなすそのパンを燒くものは終夜ねむりにつき朝におよべばまた焔のごとく燃ゆ
7 All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.
かれらはみな爐のごとくに熱してその審士をやくそのもろもろの王はみな仆るかれらの中には我をよぶもの一人だになし
8 Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.
エフライムは異邦人にいりまじるエフライムはかへさざる餹餅となれり
9 Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.
かれは他邦人らにその力をのまるれども之をしらず白髮その身に雑り生れどもこれをさとらず
10 And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなすかれらは此もろもろの事あれどもその神ヱホバに歸ることをせず又もとむることをせざるなり
11 And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.
エフライムは智慧なくして愚なる鴿のごとし彼等はエジプトにむかひて呼求めまたアツスリヤに往く
12 When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.
我かれらの往ときわが網をその上にはりて天空の鳥のごとくに引堕し前にその公會に告しごとくかれらを懲しめん
13 Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
禍なるかなかれらは我をはなれて迷ひいでたり敗壞かれらにきたらんかれらは我にむかひて罪ををかしたり我かれらを贖はんとおもへどもかれら我にさからひて謊言をいへり
14 And have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside against Me.
かれら誠心をもて我をよばず唯牀にありて哀號べりかれらは穀物とあたらしき酒のゆゑをもて相集りかつわれに逆らふ
15 And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
我かれらを敎へその腕をつよくせしかども彼らはわれにもとりて惡きことを謀る
16 They turn back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!
かれらは歸るされども至高者にかへらず彼らはたのみがたき弓のごとし彼らのもろもろの牧伯はその舌のあらき言によりて劍にたふれん彼らは之がためにエジプトの國にて嘲笑をうくべし
