ホセア書 5
1 祭司等よこれを聴けイスラエルの家よ耳をかたむけよ 王のいへよ之にこころを注よ さばきは汝等にのぞまん そは我らはミズパに設くる羂タボルに張れる網のごとくなればなり
Hear this, priests! Attend, Israelites! Listen, royal family! For you is the judgment: a snare you have become at Mizpeh, and a net spread out on Tabor,
2 悖逆者はふかく罪にしづみたり我かれらをことごとく懲しめん
the rebels are deep in slaughter, but I will discipline all.
3 我はエフライムを知る イスラエルはわれに隠るるところ無し エフライムよなんぢ今すでに淫行をなせりイスラエルはすでに汚れたり
I know Ephraim, Israel is not hidden from me, for you, Ephraim, have committed prostitution and Israel is defiled.
4 かれらの行爲かれらをしてその神に歸ること能はざらしむ そは淫行の霊その衷にありてヱホバを知ることなければなり
Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of prostitution is within them, they do not know the Lord.
5 イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなしその罪によりてイスラエルとエフライムは仆れユダもまた之とともにたふれん
Israel’s arrogance testifies against them, Israel, even Ephraim, stumble in their sin, and Judah also stumbles with them.
6 かれらは羊のむれ牛の群をたづさへ往てヱホバを尋ね求めん然どあふことあらじヱホバ既にかれらより離れ給ひたればなり
With their sheep and their cattle they will go to seek the Lord but they will not find him, he has withdrawn from them,
7 かれらヱホバにむかひ貞操を守らずして他人の子を産り新月かれらとその産業とをともに滅さん
for they have been untrue to the Lord, their children are strangers. Their new moon festivals will soon destroy them and their fields.
8 なんぢらギベアにて角をふきラマにてラッパを吹ならしベテアベンにて呼はりて言へベニヤミンよなんぢの後にありと
Blow the trumpet in Gibeah, the clarion in Ramah! Raise the alarm in Beth-aven: we are with you, Benjamin!
9 罰せらるるの日にエフライムは荒廃れん我イスラエルの支派の中にかならず有るべきことを示せり
Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of punishment, concerning the tribes of Israel I make known what is certain.
10 ユダの牧伯等は境界をうつすもののごとくなれり我わが震怒を水のごとくに彼らのうへに斟がん
The princes of Israel have become like thieves who move boundary stones. On them I will pour out my wrath like a flood.
11 エフライムは甘んじて人のさだめたるところに從ひあゆむがゆゑに鞫をうけて虐げられ圧られん
Ephraim will be oppressed, crushed by judgment, for they are determined to go after vanity.
12 われエフライムには蠧のごとくユダの家には腐朽のごとし
So I am like a moth to Ephraim, like rottenness to the house of Judah.
13 エフライムおのれに病あるを見ユダおのれに傷あるをみたり斯てエフライムはアツスリヤに往きヤレブ王に人をつかはしたれど彼はなんぢらを醫すことをえず又なんぢらの傷をのぞきさることを得ざるべし
For when Ephraim saw their sickness and Israel their wound, Ephraim turned to Assyria, to its patron king. But he cannot heal you nor relieve you of your wound.
14 われエフライムには獅子のごとくユダの家にはわかき獅子のごとし我しも我は抓劈てさり掠めゆけども救ふ者なかるべし
For I myself will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, yes I, will rend and go my way, I will carry off and none will rescue.
15 我ふたたびわが處にかへりゆき彼らがその罪をくいてひたずらわが面をたづね求むるまで其處にをらん彼らは艱難によりて我をたづねもとむることをせん
I will return to my place, until in remorse they seek my presence. When they are in distress they will quickly seek me,
