< Hosea 11 >

1 When Israel was a child he was dear to me; and I took my son out of Egypt.
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
2 When I sent for them, then they went away from me; they made offerings to the Baals, burning perfumes to images.
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
3 But I was guiding Ephraim's footsteps; I took them up in my arms, but they were not conscious that I was ready to make them well.
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
4 I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.
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擧のくるもののごとくにして彼等に食物をあたへたり
5 He will go back to the land of Egypt and the Assyrian will be his king, because they would not come back to me.
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ッスリヤ人その王とならん
6 And the sword will go through his towns, wasting his children and causing destruction because of their evil designs.
劍かれらの諸邑にまはりゆきてその關門をこぼち彼らをその謀計の故によりて滅さん
7 My people are given up to sinning against me; though their voice goes up on high, no one will be lifting them up.
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屬しめんとすれども身をおこすもの一人だになし
8 How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.
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爭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
9 I will not put into effect the heat of my wrath; I will not again send destruction on Ephraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One among you; I will not put an end to you.
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
10 They will go after the Lord; his cry will be like that of a lion; his cry will be loud, and the children will come from the west, shaking with fear;
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
11 Shaking with fear like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will give them rest in their houses, says the Lord.
かれらエジプトより鳥のごとくアッ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ヱホバの聖言なり
12 The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side. ...
エフライムは謊言をもてイスラエルの家は詐僞をもて我を圍めりユダは神と信ある聖者とに屬きみつかずみ漂蕩をれり
