Hosea 13
1 While Ephraim was speaking, a horror entered Israel, and he offended by Baal, and he died.
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 they add that they will be sinning more. And they have made themselves an image cast from their silver, just like the image of idols; but the whole thing has been made by craftsmen. These say to them, “Sacrifice men, you who adore calves.”
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 For this reason, they will be like the morning clouds, and like the morning dew that passes away, just like the dust that is driven by a whirlwind away from the threshing floor, and like the smoke from a chimney.
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, and you will not know God apart from me, and there is no Savior except 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 knew you in the desert, in the land of solitude.
我さきに荒野にて水なき地にて爾を顧みたり
6 According to their pastures, they have been filled up and have been satisfied. And they have lifted up their heart, and they have forgotten me.
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 And I will be to them like a lioness, like a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
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 run to meet them like a bear that has been robbed of her young, and I will split open the middle of their liver. And I will devour them there like a lion; the beast of the field will tear them apart.
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 Perdition is yours, Israel. Your help is only in me.
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? Now, especially, let him save you in all your cities, and from your judges, about whom you said, “Give me kings and princes.”
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 will give you a king in my wrath, and I will take him away in my indignation.
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 iniquity of Ephraim has been bound; his sin has been engulfed.
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 giving birth will reach him. He is an unwise son. For now he will not remain firm during the contrition of his sons.
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 free them from the hand of death; from death I will redeem them. Death, I will be your death. Hell, I will be your deadly wound. Consolation is hidden from my eyes. (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 For he will make a division among brothers. The Lord will bring a burning wind, rising up from the desert, and it will dry up his streams, and it will make his fountain desolate, and he will tear apart every collection of desirable useful things.
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 Let Samaria perish, because she has urged her God towards bitterness. Let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be thrown down, and let their pregnant women be cut in two.
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
