Hosea 4
1 Listen to the word of the Lord, sons of Israel, for the Lord is judge of the inhabitants of the land. Yet there is no truth, and there is no mercy, and there is no knowledge of God, in the land.
イスラエルの子輩よヱホバの言を聴けヱホバこの地に住る者と争辨たまふ其は此地には誠實なく愛情なく神を知る事なければなり
2 Slander, and lying, and killing, and theft, and adultery have overflowed, and bloodshed has brought more bloodshed.
ただ詛偽凶殺盗姦淫のみにして互に相襲ひ血血につづき流る
3 Because of this, the land will mourn, and all who dwell in it will languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. And the fishes of the sea also will be gathered together.
このゆゑにその地うれひにしづみ之にすむものはみな野のけもの空のとりとともにおとろへ海の魚もまた絶はてん
4 So, truly, let each and every one not judge, and let no man be accused, for your people are just like those who speak against the priesthood.
されど何人もあらそふべからずいましむ可らず汝の民は祭司と争ふ者の如くなれり
5 And you will be ruined on this day, and now the prophet will be ruined with you. In the night, I have made your mother to be silent.
汝は昼つまづき汝と偕なる預言者は夜つまづかん我なんぢの母を亡すべし
6 My people have become silent because they had no knowledge. Since you have rejected knowledge, I will drive you away; you do not perform the duties of the priesthood for me, and you have forgotten the law of your God, and so I will forget your sons.
わが民は知識なきによりて亡さるなんぢ知識を棄つるによりて我もまた汝を棄ててわが祭司たらしめじ汝おのが神の作法を忘るるによりて我もなんぢの子等を忘れん
7 According to the multitude of them, so have they sinned against me. I will change their glory into disgrace.
彼らは大なるにしたがひてますます我に罪を犯せば我かれらの榮を辱に変ん
8 They will devour the sins of my people, and they will lift up their souls towards their iniquity.
彼らはわが民の罪をくらひ心をかたむけてその罪ををかすを願へり
9 And, just as it is with the people, so will it be with the priest; and I will visit their ways upon them, and I will repay them for their intentions.
このゆゑに民の遇ところは祭司もまた同じわれその途をかれらにきたらせその行爲をもて之にむくゆべし
10 And they will eat and not be satisfied. They have been committing fornication, and they did not cease. Since they have abandoned the Lord, they will not be safeguarded.
かれらは食へども飽ず淫行をなせどもその數まさずその心をヱホバにとむることを止ればなり
11 Fornication, and wine, and drunkenness, have taken away their heart.
淫行と酒と新しき洒はその人の心をうばふ
12 My people have inquired of their stave, and their staff has announced to them. For the spirit of fornication has deceived them, and they have been fornicating before their God.
わが民木にむかひて事をとふその杖かれらに事をしめす是かれら淫行の霊にまよはされその神の下を離れて淫行を爲すなり
13 They have offered sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burnt incense on the hills, under the oak, and the poplar, and the terebinth tree, because its shadow was good; therefore, your daughters will commit fornication and your spouses will be adulteresses.
彼らは山々の巓にて犠牲を献げ岡の上にて香を焚き橡樹 楊樹 栗樹の下にてこの事をおこなふ此はその樹蔭の美しきによりてなりここをもてなんぢらの女子は淫行をなしなんぢらの兒婦は姦淫をおこなふ
14 I will not send afflictions on your daughters, when they will commit fornication, nor on your spouses, when they will commit adultery, because you yourselves have associated with harlots and have offered sacrifice with the effeminate, and because the people who do not understand will be defeated.
我なんぢらのむすめ淫行をなせども罰せずなんぢらの兒婦かんいんをおこなへども刑せじ其はなんぢらもみづから離れゆきて妓女とともに居り淫婦とともに献物をそなふればなり悟らざる民はほろぶべし
15 If you commit fornication, Israel, at least let Judah not commit offenses; and do not be willing to enter into Gilgal, nor to ascend to Bethaven, and neither should you swear, “As the Lord lives.”
イスラエルよ汝淫行をなすともユダに罪を犯さする勿れギルガルに往なかれベテアベンに上るなかれヱホバは活くと曰て誓ふなかれ
16 For Israel has gone astray like a wanton heifer; so now the Lord will pasture them like a young lamb in a wide expanse.
イスラエルは頑強なる牛のごとくに頑強なり今ヱホバ恙羊をひろき野にはなてるが如くして之を牧はん
17 Ephraim participates in idolatry, so send him away.
エフライムは偶像にむすびつらなれりその爲にまかせよ
18 Their feasting has been set aside; they have committed fornication after fornication. They love to bring disgrace to their protectors.
かれらの酒はくされかれらの淫行はやまずかれらの楯となるべき者等は恥を愛しいたく之を愛せり
19 The wind has fastened them to its wings, and they will be confounded because of their sacrifices.
かれは風の翼につつまれかれらはその礼物によりて恥辱をかうむらん
