ホセア書 9
1 イスラエルよ異邦人のごとく喜びすさむ勿れなんぢ淫行をなして汝の神を離る汝すべての麥の打塲にて賜はる淫行の賞賜を愛せり
“Do not rejoice, O Israel, do not be joyful like the peoples, For you have gone whoring from your God, You have loved a wage near all floors of grain.
2 打場と酒榨とはかれらを養はじ亦あたらしき酒もむなしくならん
Floor and winepress do not feed them, And new wine fails in her,
3 かれらはヱホバの地にとどまらずエフライムはエジプトに歸りアツスリヤにて汚穢たる物を食はん
They do not abide in the land of YHWH, And Ephraim has turned back [to] Egypt, And they eat an unclean thing in Asshur.
4 彼等はヱホバにむかひて酒を灌ぐべき者にあらずその祭物はヱホバの悦びたまふ所にあらずかれらの犠牲は喪に居もののパンのごとし凡てこれを食ふものは汚るべし彼等のパンは只おのが食ふためにのみ用ゐべくしてヱホバの家に入るべきにあらず
They do not pour out wine to YHWH, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It does not come into the house of YHWH.
5 なんぢら集會の日とヱホバの節會の日に何をなさんとするや
What do you do at the day appointed? And at the day of YHWH’s festival?
6 視よかれら滅亡の故によりて去ゆきぬエジプトかれらをあつめメンピスかれらを葬らん蒺藜かれらが銀の寳物を獲いばら彼らの天幕に蔓らん
For behold, they have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathers them, Moph buries them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them—a thorn [is] in their tents.
7 刑罰の日きたり應報の日きたれりイスラエルこれを知ん預言者は愚なるもの霊に感じたるものは狂へるものなりこれ汝の惡おほく汝の怨恨おほいなるに因る
The days of inspection have come in, The days of repayment have come in, Israel knows! The prophet [is] a fool, Mad [is] the man of the spirit, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.
8 エフライムは我が神にならべて他の神をも佇望めり預言者の一切の途は鳥を捕ふる者の網のごとく且その神の室の中にて怨恨を懐けり
Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! A snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] in the house of his God.
9 かれらはギベアの日のごとく甚だしく惡き事を行へりヱホバはその惡をこころに記てその罪を罰したまはん
They have gone deep—have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He remembers their iniquity, He inspects their sins.
10 在昔われイスラエルを見ること荒野の葡萄のごとく汝らの先組等を看ること無花果樹の始にむすべる最先の果の如くなししに彼等はバアルペオルにゆきて身を恥辱にゆたねその愛する物とともに憎むべき者とはなれり
As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They have gone in [to] Ba‘al-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And have become abominable like their love.
11 エフライムの榮光は鳥のごとく飛さらん即ち産ことも孕むことも妊娠こともなかるべし
Ephraim [is] as a bird, their glory flies away, without birth, and without womb, and without conception.
12 仮令かれら子等を育つるとも我その子を喪ひて遺る人なきにいたらしめん我が離るる時かれらの禍大なる哉
For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless—without man, Surely also, woe to them when I turn aside from them.
13 われエフライムを美地に植てツロのごとくなししかどもエフライムはその子等を携へいだして人を殺すに付さんとす
Ephraim! When I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out his sons to a slayer.
14 ヱホバよ彼らに與ヘたまへ汝なにを與ヘんとしたまふや孕まざる胎と乳なき乳房とを與へたまへ
Give to them, YHWH—what do You give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
15 かれらが凡のはギルガルにあり此故に我かしこにて之を惡めりその行爲あしければ我が家より逐いたし重て愛することをせじその牧伯等はみな悼れる者なり
All their evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I drive them, I no longer love them, All their heads [are] apostates.
16 エフライムは撃れその根はかれて果を結ぶまじ若し産ことあらば我その胎なる愛しむ實を殺さん
Ephraim has been struck, Their root has dried up, they do not yield fruit, Indeed, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired of their womb.
17 かれら聴從はざるによりて我が神これを棄たまふべしかれらは列國民のうちに流離人とならん
My God rejects them, Because they have not listened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!”
