Hosea 13
1 When the words of my law came from Ephraim, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he did evil through the Baal, death overtook him.
エフライム言を出せば人をののけり彼はイスラエルのなかに己をたかうしバアルにより罪を犯して死たりしが
2 And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.
今も尚ますます罪を犯しその銀をもて己のために像を鋳その機巧にしたがひて偶像を作る是みな工人の作なるなり彼らは之につきていふ犠牲を献ぐる者はこの犢に吻を接べしと
3 So they will be like the morning cloud, like the dew which goes early away, like the dust of the grain which the wind is driving out of the crushing-floor, like smoke going up from the fireplace.
是によりて彼らは朝の雲のごとく速にきえうする露のごとく打場より大風に吹散さるる穀殻のごとく窓より出ゆく煙のごとくならん
4 But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt; you have knowledge of no other God and there is no saviour but me.
されど我はエジプトの國をいでてより來なんぢの神ヱホバなり爾われの外に神を知ことなし我のほかに救者なし
5 I had knowledge of you in the waste land where no water was.
我さきに荒野にて水なき地にて爾を顧みたり
6 When I gave them food they were full, and their hearts were full of pride, and they did not keep me in mind.
かれらは秣場によりて食に飽き飽くによりてその心たかぶり是によりて我を忘れたり
7 So I will be like a lion to them; as a cruel beast I will keep watch by the road;
斯るがゆゑに我かれらに對ひて獅子の如くなり途の傍にひそみうかがふ豹のごとくならん
8 I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.
われ子をうしなへる熊のごとく彼らに向ひてその心膜を裂き獅子の如くこれを食はん野の獣これを攫断るべし
9 I have sent destruction on you, O Israel; who will be your helper?
イスラエルよ汝の滅ぶるは我に背き汝を助くる者に背くが故なり
10 Where is your king, that he may be your saviour? and all your rulers, that they may take up your cause? of whom you said, Give me a king and rulers.
汝のもろもろの邑に汝を助くべき汝の王は今いづくにかあるなんぢらがその王と牧伯等とを我に與へよと言たりし士師等は今いづくにかある
11 I have given you a king, because I was angry, and have taken him away in my wrath.
われ忿怒をもて汝に王を與へ憤恨をもて之をうばひたり
12 The wrongdoing of Ephraim is shut up; his sin is put away in secret.
エフライムの不義は包まれてありその罪はをさめたくはへられたり
13 The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.
劬労にかかれる婦のかなしみ之に臨まん彼は愚なる子なり時に臨みてもなほ産門に入らず
14 I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity. (Sheol h7585)
我かれらを陰府の手より贖はん我かれらを死より贖はん死よなんぢの疫は何處にあるか陰府よなんぢの災は何處にあるか悔改はかくれて我が目にみえず (Sheol h7585)
15 Though he gives fruit among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the waste land, and his spring will become dry, his fountain will be without water: it will make waste the store of all the vessels of his desire.
彼は兄弟のなかにて果を結ぶこと多けれども東風吹きたりヱホバの息荒野より吹おこらん之がためにその泉は乾その源は涸れんその積蓄へたるもろもろの賓貴器皿は掠め奪はるべし
16 Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open.
サマリヤはその神にそむきたれば刑せられ劍に斃れんその嬰兒はなげくだかれその孕たる婦は剖れん
