< ホセア書 1 >
1 これユダの王ウジヤ、ヨタム、アハズ、ヒゼキヤの世イスラエルの王ヨアシの子ヤラベアムの世にベエリの子ホセアに臨めるヱホバの言なり
The worde of the Lord that came vnto Hosea the sonne of Beeri, in the daies of Vzziah, Iotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah Kings of Iudah, and in the daies of Ieroboam the sonne of Ioash king of Israel.
2 ヱホバはじめホセアによりて語りたまへる時ヱホバ、ホセアに宣はく汝ゆきて淫行の婦人を娶り淫行の子等を取れ この國ヱホバに遠ざかりてはなはだしき淫行をなせばなり
At the beginning the Lord spake by Hosea, and the Lord said vnto Hosea, Goe, take vnto thee a wife of fornications, and children of fornications: for the lande hath committed great whoredome, departing from the Lord.
3 是において彼ゆきてデブライムの女子ゴメルを妻に娶りけるがその婦はらみて男子を產り
So he went, and tooke Gomer, ye daughter of Diblaim, which conceiued and bare him a sonne.
4 ヱホバまた彼にいひ給ひけるは汝その名をヱズレルと名くべし 暫時ありて我ヱズレルの血をヱヒウの家に報いイスラエルの家の國をほろぼすべければなり
And the Lord said vnto him, Cal his name Izreel: for yet a litle, and I will visite the blood of Izreel vpon the house of Iehu, and will cause to cease the kingdome of the house of Israel.
5 その日われヱズレルの谷にてイスラエルの弓を折べしと
And at that day will I also breake the bowe of Israel in the valley of Izreel.
6 ゴメルまた孕みて女子を產ければヱホバ、ホセアに言たまひけるは汝その名をロルマハ(憐まれぬ者)と名くべしそは我もはやイスラエルの家をあはれみて赦すが如きことを爲ざるべければなり
She conceiued yet againe, and bare a daughter, and God saide vnto him, Call her name Lo-ruhamah: for I will no more haue pitie vpon the house of Israel: but I wil vtterly take them away.
7 然どわれユダの家をあはれまん その神ヱホバによりて之をすくはん 我は弓劍戰爭馬騎兵などによりてすくふことをせじ
Yet I will haue mercie vpon the house of Iudah, and wil saue them by the Lord their God, and wil not saue them by bow, nor by sword nor by battell, by horses, nor by horsemen.
8 ロルハマ乳をやめゴメルまた孕みて男子を產けるに
Nowe when she had wained Lo-ruhamah, shee conceiued, and bare a sonne.
9 ヱホバ言たまひけるはその子の名をロアンミ(吾民に非ざる者)と名くべし 其は汝らは吾民にあらず我は汝らの神に非ざればなり
Then saide God, Call his name Lo-ammi: for yee are not my people: therefore will I not be yours.
10 然どイスラエルの子孫の數は濱の沙石のごとくに成ゆきて量ることも數ふる事も爲しがたく前になんぢらわが民にあらずと言れしその處にて汝らは活神の子なりと言れんとす
Yet the nomber of the children of Israel shall be as the sande of the sea, which can not be measured nor tolde: and in the place where it was saide vnto them, Yee are not my people, it shall be saide vnto them, Yee are the sonnes of the liuing God.
11 斯てユダの子孫とイスラエルの子孫は共に集り一人の首をたててその地より上り來らん ヱズレルの日は大なるべし
Then shall the children of Iudah, and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint them selues one head, and they shall come vp out of the land: for great is the day of Izreel.
