Hosea 2
1 Say to your brothers, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
汝らの兄弟に向ひてはアンミ(わが民)と言ひ汝らの姉財にむかひてはルハマ(憐まるる者)と言へ
2 Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;
なんぢらの母とあげつらへ論辨ふことをせよ彼はわが妻にあらず我はかれの夫にあらざるなりなんぢら斯してかれにその面より淫行を除かせその乳房の間より姦淫をのぞかしめよ
3 For fear that I may take away her robe from her, making her uncovered as in the day of her birth; making her like a waste place and a dry land, causing her death through need of water.
然らざれば我かれを剥て赤體にしその生れいでたる日のごとくにしまた荒野のごとくならしめ潤ひなき地のごとくならしめ渇によりて死しめん
4 And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.
我その子等を憐まじ淫行の子等なればなり
5 For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.
かれらの母は淫行をなせりかれらを生る者は恥べき事をおこなへり蓋かれいへる言あり我はわが戀人等につきしたがはん彼らはわがパンわが水わが羊毛わが麻わが油わが飮物などを我に與ふるなりと
6 For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.
この故にわれ荊棘をもてなんぢの路をふさぎ垣をたてて彼にその徑をえざらしむべし
7 And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.
彼はその戀人たちの後をしたひゆけども追及ことなく之をたづぬれども遇ことなし是において彼いはん我ゆきてわが前の夫にかへるべしかのときのわが状態は今にまさりて善りきと
8 For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.
彼が得る穀物と酒と油はわが與ふるところ彼がバアルのために用ゐたる金銀はわが彼に増あたへたるところなるを彼はしらざるなり
9 So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.
これによりて我わが穀物をその時におよびて奪ひわが酒をその季にいたりてうばひ又かれの裸體をおほふに用ゆべきわが羊毛およびわが麻をとらん
10 And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.
今われかれの恥るところをその戀人等の目のまへに露すべし彼をわが手より救ふものあらじ
11 And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.
我かれがすべての喜樂すなはち祝筵新月のいはひ安息日およびこの節會をして息しめん
12 And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.
また彼の葡萄の樹と無花果樹をそこなはん彼さきに此等をさしてわが戀人の我にあたへし賞賜なりと言しがわれこれを林となし野の厭をしてくらはしめん
13 And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.
われかれが耳環頚玉などを掛てその戀人らをしたひゆき我をわすれ香をたきて事へしもろもろのバアルの日のゆゑをもてその罪を罰せんヱホバかく言たまふ
14 For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.
斯るがゆゑに我かれを誘ひて荒野にみちびきいり終にかれの心をなぐさめ
15 And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
かしこを出るや直ちにわれかれにその葡萄園を與へアコル(艱難)の谷を望の門となしてあたへん彼はわかかりし時のごとくエジプトの國より上りきたりし時のごとくかしこにて歌うたはん
16 And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;
ヱホバ言たまふその日にはなんぢ我をふたたびバアリとよばずしてイシ(吾夫)とよばん
17 For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.
我もろもろのバアルの名をかれが口よりとりのぞき重ねてその名を世に記憶せらるること無らしめん
18 And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.
その日には我かれら(我民)のために野の獣そらの鳥および地の昆蟲と誓約をむすびまた弓箭ををり戦争を全世界よりのぞき彼らをして安らかに居しむべし
19 And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.
われ汝をめとりて永遠にいたらん公義と公平と寵愛と憐憫とをもてなんぢを娶り
20 I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.
かはることなき眞実をもて汝をめとるべし汝ヱホバをしらん
21 And it will be, in that day, says the Lord, that I will give an answer to the heavens, and the heavens to the earth;
ヱホバいひ給ふその日われ應へん我は天にこたへ天は地にこたへ
22 And the earth will give its answer to the grain and the wine and the oil, and they will give an answer to Jezreel;
地は穀物と洒と油とに應へまた是等のものはヱズレルに應へん
23 And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.
我わがためにかれを地にまき憐まれざりし者をあはれみわが民ならざりし者にむかて汝はわが民なりといはんかれらは我にむかひて汝はわが神なりといはん
