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
Put the horn to your mouth! An eagle swoops down upon the house of the Lord because they have transgressed my covenant, trespassed 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
To me they continually cry, ‘My God, we Israel, we know you!’
3 イスラエルは善をいみきらへり敵これを追ん
But Israel has spurned that which is good, so let the foe pursue him.
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 themselves have made kings but without my consent. They have made princes but without my knowledge. Out of their silver and gold, they have made idols to their destruction!
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
Your calf idol, O Samaria, is distasteful. My anger is kindled against them. How long will they escape punishment?
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
Israel made the thing: a workman made it. It is not a god! Samaria’s calf will become mere splinters.
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
They sow the wind and will reap the whirlwind. A shoot which has no stalk, yields no fruit If it should yield, strangers would devour it.
8 イスラエルは既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 devoured. Already it lies discarded among the nations like a worthless pot.
9 彼らは獨ゐし野の驢馬のごとくアツ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 by themselves they have gone up to Assyria like a wild donkey which wanders by itself. Ephraim pays for love
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
but even if they sell themselves among the nations, I will round them up. Soon the kings and princes will writhe under the burden of tribute!
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陥る階とはなれり
For as many altars as Ephraim has erected, they are to him altars for sinning,
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
were I to write for him ever so many instructions, they would be regarded as from a stranger.
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
The people love sacrifice, and so they offer sacrifices, meat, and so they eat it, although the Lord is not pleased with them, so now he will remember their guilt, and punish their sins. Back to Egypt with them!
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焼亡さん
For Israel forgot his Maker and built palaces, and Judah multiplied fortified cities. But I will send fire upon her cities, and it will devour her strongholds.
