ホセア書 11
1 イスラエルの幼かりしとき我これを愛しぬ我わが子をエジプトより呼いだしたり
When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called My son.
2 かれらは呼るるに隨ひていよいよその呼者に遠ざかり且もろもろのバアルに犠牲をささげ雕たる偶像に香を焚り
But the more I called Israel, the farther they departed from Me. They sacrificed to the Baals and burned incense to carved images.
3 われエフライムに歩むことををしへ彼等をわが腕にのせて抱けり然どかれらは我にいやされたるを知ず
It was I who taught Ephraim to walk, taking them in My arms, but they never realized that it was I who healed them.
4 われ人にもちゐる索すなはち愛のつなをもて彼等をひけり我がかれらを待ふは軛をその腮より挙のくるもののごとくにして彼等に食物をあたへたり
I led them with cords of kindness, with ropes of love; I lifted the yoke from their necks and bent down to feed them.
5 かれらはエジプトの地にかへらじ然どかれらがヱホバに歸らざるによりてアツスリヤ人その王とならん
Will they not return to the land of Egypt and be ruled by Assyria because they refused to repent?
6 劍かれらの諸邑にまはりゆきてその関門をこぼち彼らをその謀計の故によりて滅さん
A sword will flash through their cities; it will destroy the bars of their gates and consume them in their own plans.
7 わが民はともすれば我にはなれんとする心あり人これを招きて上に在るものに属しめんとすれども身をおこすもの一人だになし
My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call to the Most High, He will by no means exalt them.
8 エフライムよ我いかで汝をすてんやイスラエルよ我いかで汝をわたさんや我いかで汝をアデマのごとくせんや争でなんぢをゼボイムのごとく爲んやわが心わが衷にかはりて我の愛憐ことごとく燃おこれり
How could I give you up, O Ephraim? How could I surrender you, O Israel? How could I make you like Admah? How could I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassion is stirred!
9 我わが烈しき震怒をほどこすことをせじ我かさねてエフライムを滅すことをせじ我は人にあらず神なればなり我は汝のうちにいます聖者なりいかりをもて臨まじ
I will not execute the full fury of My anger; I will not turn back to destroy Ephraim. For I am God and not man— the Holy One among you— and I will not come in wrath.
10 かれらは獅子の吼るごとくに聲を出したまふヱホバに隨ひて歩まんヱホバ聲を出したまへば子等は西より急ぎ來らん
They will walk after the LORD; He will roar like a lion. When He roars, His children will come trembling from the west.
11 かれらエジプトより鳥のごとくアツスリヤより鴿のごとくに急ぎ來らん我かれらをその家々に住はしむべし是エホバの聖言なり
They will come trembling like birds from Egypt and like doves from the land of Assyria. Then I will settle them in their homes, declares the LORD.
12 エフライムは謊言をもてイスラエルの家は詐偽をもて我を囲めりユダは神と信ある聖者とに属きみつかずみ漂蕩をれり
Ephraim surrounds Me with lies, the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God and is faithful to the Holy One.
