ホセア書 8

1 ラッパをなんぢの口にあてよ敵は鷲のごとくヱホバの家にのぞめりこの民わが契約をやぶりわが律法を犯ししによる

[He shall come] into their midst as the land, as an eagle against the house of the Lord, because they have transgressed my covenant, and have sinned against my law.

2 かれら我にむかひてわが神よわれらイスラエルはなんぢを知れりと叫ばん

They shall soon cry out to me, [saying], O God, we know thee.

3 イスラエルは善をいみきらへり敵これを追ん

For Israel has turned away from good things; they have pursued an enemy.

4 かれら王をたてたり然れども我により立しにあらずかれら牧伯をたてたり然れども我がしらざるところなり彼らまたその金銀をもて己がために偶像をつくれりその造れるは毀ちすてられんが爲にせしにことならず

They have made kings for themselves, but not by me: they have ruled, but they did not make it known to me: [of] their silver and their gold they have made images to themselves, that they might be destroyed.

5 サマリヤよなんぢの犢は忌きらふべきものなりわが怒かれらにむかひて燃ゆかれら何れの時にか罪なきにいたらん

Cast off thy calf, O Samaria; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will they be unable to purge themselves in Israel?

6 この犢はイスラエルより出づ匠人のつくれる者にして神にあらずサマリヤの犢はくだけて粉とならん

Whereas the workman made it, and it is not God; wherefore thy calf, Samaria, was a deceiver:

7 かれらは風をまきて狂風をかりとらん種ところは生長る穀物なくその穂はみのらざるべしたとひ實るとも他邦人これを呑ん

for they sowed blighted [seed], and their destruction shall await them, a sheaf of corn that avails not to make meal; and even if it should produce it, strangers shall devour it.

8 イスラエルは旣に呑れたり彼等いま列國の中において悦ばれざる器のごとく視做るるなり

Israel is swallowed up: now is he become among the nations as a worthless vessel.

9 彼らは獨ゐし野の驢馬のごとくアッスリヤにゆけりエフライムは物を餽りて戀人を得たり

For they have gone up to the Assyrians: Ephraim has been strengthened against himself; they loved gifts.

10 かれら列國の民に物を餽りたりと雖も今われ彼等をつどへ集む彼らは諸侯伯の王に負せらるる重擔のために衰へ始めん

Therefore shall they be delivered to the nations: now I will receive them, and they shall cease a little to anoint a king and princes.

11 エフライムは多くの祭壇を造りて罪を犯すこの祭壇はかれらが罪に陷る階とはなれり

Because Ephraim has multiplied altars, [his] beloved altars are become sins to him.

12 我かれらのために律法をしるして數件の箇條を示したれど彼らは反て之を異物とおもへり

I will write down a multitude [of commands] for him; but his statutes are accounted strange things, [even] the beloved altars.

13 かれらは我に献ふべき物を献ふれども只肉をそなへて己みづから之を食ふヱホバは之を納たまはず今かれらの愆を記え彼らの罪を罰したまはん彼らはエジプトに歸るべし

For if they should offer a sacrifice, and eat flesh, the lord will not accept them: now will he remember their iniquities, and will take vengeance on their sins: they have returned to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things among the Assyrians.

14 イスラエルは己が造主を忘れてもろもろの社廟を建てユダは塀をとりまはせる邑を多く増し加へたり然どわれ火をその邑々におくりて諸の城を燒亡さん

And Israel has forgotten him that made him, and they have built fanes, and Juda has multiplied walled cities: but I will send fire on his cities, and it shall devour their foundations.
