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
As the morning passeth, so hath the king of Israel Israel was a child, and I loved him: and I called my son out of Egypt.
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
As they called them, they went away from before their face: they offered victims to Baalim, and sacrificed to idols.
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
And I was like a foster father to Ephraim, I carried them in my arms: and they knew not that I 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 will draw them with the cords of Adam, with the bands of love: and I will be to them as one that taketh off the yoke on their jaws: and I put his meat to him that he might eat.
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
He shall not return into the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king: because they would not be converted.
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
The sword hath begun in his cities, and it shall consume his chosen men, and shall devour their heads.
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
And my people shall long for my return: but a yoke shall be put upon them together, which shall not be taken off.
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 shall I deal with thee, O Ephraim, shall I protect thee, O Israel? how shall I make thee as Adama, shall I set thee as Seboim? my heart is turned within me, my repentance is stirred up.
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 fierceness of my wrath: I will not return to destroy Ephraim: because I am God, and not man: the holy one in the midst of thee, and I will not enter into the city.
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 shall walk after the Lord, he shall roar as a lion: because he shall roar, and the children of the sea shall fear.
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
And they shall fly away like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of the Assyrians: and I will place them in their own houses, saith 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 hath compassed me about with denials, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Juda went down as a witness with God, and is faithful with the saints.
