Hosea 12
1 Ephraim herds the wind and hunts the sirocco. All day long they heap up falsehood and fraud, make a treaty with Assyria, and sends tribute of olive oil to Egypt.
エフライムは風をくらひ東風をおひ日々に詐僞と暴逆とを増くはへアッスリヤと契約を結び油をエジプトに餽れり
2 The Lord has a charge to bring against Israel, to punish Jacob for his acts, according to his deeds will he requite him,
ヱホバはユダと爭辨をなしたまふヤコブをその途にしたがひて罰しその行爲にしたがひて報いたまふ
3 In the womb he supplanted his brother, in manhood he wrestled with God,
ヤコブは胎にゐし時その兄弟の踵をとらへまた己が力をもて神と角力あらそへり
4 He wrestled with the angel and prevailed, he wept and sought his blessing. At Bethel the Lord found him, and there he spoke with us.
かれは天の使と角力あらそひて勝ちなきて之に恩をもとめたり彼はベテルにて神にあへり其處にて神われらに語ひたまへり
5 And the Lord is the God of hosts, the Lord is his name!
これは萬軍の神ヱホバなりヱホバは其記念の名なり
6 So now, by the help of your God, return. Keep true love and justice. Trust in your God without ceasing.
然ばなんぢの神にかへり矜恤と公義とをまもり恒になんぢの神を仰ぐべし
7 A merchant uses false scales: They love to defraud.
彼はカナン人(商賈)なりその手に詭詐の權衡をもち好であざむき取ことをなす
8 Ephraim says, ‘Yes, I have become rich, I have secured wealth for myself. But despite my gains no one will find a crime I can be convicted of!’
エフライムはいふ誠にわれは富る者となれり我は身に財寳をえたり凡てわが勞したることの中に罪をうべき不義を見いだす者なかるべし
9 I am the Lord your God, ever since the land of Egypt. I will make you again dwell in tents, as in days of old.
我ヱホバはエジプトの國をいでしより以來なんぢらの神なり我いまも尚なんぢを幕屋にすまはせて節會の日のごとくならしめん
10 I spoke continually by the prophets. It was I who multiplied visions, and spoke in parables through the prophets.
我もろもろの預言者にかたり又これに益々おほく異象をしめしたり我もろもろの預言者に托して譬喩をまうく
11 In Gilead is iniquity, they will come to nothing. In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls, so their altars will be as stone heaps, among the furrows of the field.
ギレアデは不義なる者ならずや彼らは全く虚しかれらはギルガルにて牛を犠牲に献ぐかれらの祭壇は圃の畝につみたる石の如し
12 And Jacob fled to the territory of Aram, and Israel worked to earn a wife: for a wife he herded sheep.
ヤコブはアラムの野ににげゆけりイスラエルは妻を得んために人に事へ妻を得んために羊を牧へり
13 The Lord brought Israel up from Egypt by a prophet, and by a prophet Israel was guarded.
ヱホバ一人の預言者をもてイスラエルをエジプトより導きいだし一人の預言者をもて之を護りたまへり
14 Ephraim has given bitter provocation. His Lord will leave upon him his guilt of bloodshed, and for his contempt he will repay him.
エフライムは怒を激ふること極てはなはだしその主かれが流しし血をかれが上にとどめその恥辱をかれに歸らせたまはん
