< Hosea 5 >

1 Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, house of Israel! Listen, members of the royal family!
祭司等よこれを聽けイスラエルの家よ耳をかたむけよ 王のいへよ之にこころを注よ さばきは汝等にのぞまん そは我らはミズパに設くる羂タボルに張れる網のごとくなればなり
2 Judgment belongs with you because you have been a snare set at Mizpah and a net spread out on Tabor. You dug a deep trap in Shittim, but I will punish you for all these things you have done.
悖逆者はふかく罪にしづみたり我かれらをことごとく懲しめん
3 I know Ephraim very well, and Israel cannot hide from me, for now Ephraim is a prostitute and Israel is defiled.
我はエフライムを知る イスラエルはわれに隱るるところ無し エフライムよなんぢ今すでに淫行をなせりイスラエルはすでに汚れたり
4 Your actions stop you from coming back to your God for a spirit of prostitution is within you and you do not know the Lord.
かれらの行爲かれらをしてその神に歸ること能はざらしむ そは淫行の霊その衷にありてヱホバを知ることなければなり
5 Israel's pride speaks against them, right in the face. Israel and Ephraim will stumble because of their guilt, and Judah will stumble along with them.
イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなしその罪によりてイスラエルとエフライムは仆れユダもまた之とともにたふれん
6 They will go to seek the Lord with their herds and flocks, but they will not find him, for he has given up on them.
かれらは羊のむれ牛の群をたづさへ往てヱホバを尋ね求めん然どあふことあらじヱホバ旣にかれらより離れ給ひたればなり
7 They have been unfaithful to the Lord and have had children that are not his. Now the New Moon will destroy them along with their fields.
かれらヱホバにむかひ貞操を守らずして他人の子を產り新月かれらとその產業とをともに滅さん
8 Blow the horn in Gibeah! Sound the trumpet in Ramah! Shout an alarm in Beth-aven! Lead the way, Benjamin!
なんぢらギベアにて角をふきラマにてラッパを吹ならしベテアベンにて呼はりて言へベニヤミンよなんぢの後にありと
9 Ephraim will be left desolate on the day of punishment. Among the tribes of Israel I will reveal what is the real truth.
罰せらるるの日にエフライムは荒廢れん我イスラエルの支派の中にかならず有るべきことを示せり
10 The rulers of Judah have become thieves like those who illegally move boundaries. I will pour out my anger like water upon them.
ユダの牧伯等は境界をうつすもののごとくなれり我わが震怒を水のごとくに彼らのうへに斟がん
11 The people of Ephraim are crushed, smashed to pieces in judgment because they were determined to follow human commands.
エフライムは甘んじて人のさだめたるところに從ひあゆむがゆゑに鞫をうけて虐げられ圧られん
12 I am like a maggot to Ephraim, and like something rotten to the people of Judah.
われエフライムには蠧のごとくユダの家には腐朽のごとし
13 When Ephraim saw how sick they were, and Judah saw how wounded they were, Ephraim turned to the great king of Assyria for help, but he could not heal them or cure their wounds.
エフライムおのれに病あるを見ユダおのれに傷あるをみたり斯てエフライムはアツスリヤに往きヤレブ王に人をつかはしたれど彼はなんぢらを醫すことをえず又なんぢらの傷をのぞきさることを得ざるべし
14 For I will be like a lion to Ephraim, like a fierce lion to the people of Judah. I will come and tear them to pieces, and carry them off, and no one will be able to rescue them.
われエフライムには獅子のごとくユダの家にはわかき獅子のごとし我しも我は抓劈てさり掠めゆけども救ふ者なかるべし
15 Then I will leave and return to where I came from until they acknowledge their wrongs, and in their distress they will seek my face and beg for my help.”
我ふたたびわが處にかへりゆき彼らがその罪をくいてひたすらわが面をたづね求むるまで其處にをらん彼らは艱難によりて我をたづねもとむることをせん
