Hosea 7
1 When I would have brought healing to Israel, then was disclosed the iniquity of Ephraim, and the wicked doings of Samaria, for they have wrought falsehood, —when, a thief, would enter, a band roamed about, outside,
われイスラエルを醫さんときエフライムの愆とサマリヤのあしきわざと露るかれらは詐詭をおこなひ内には偸盗いるあり外には山賊のむれ掠めさるあり
2 And they say not to their own hearts, that, all their wickedness, I remember, now, have their doings, beset them about, right before my face, have they been done.
かれら心にわがその一切の惡をしたためたることを思はず今その行爲はかれらを圍みふさぎて皆わが目前にあり
3 By their wickedness, they gladden a king, and, by their flatteries, —rulers.
かれらはその惡をもて王を悦ばせその詐詭をもてもろもろの牧伯を悦ばせり
4 They all, are adulterers, like an oven too hot for the baker, —who leaveth off stoking, after kneading the dough, till the whole be leavened.
かれらはみな姦淫をおこなふ者にしてパンを作るものに燒るる爐のごとし揑粉をこねてその發酵ときまでしばらく火をおこすことをせざるのみなり
5 In the day of our king, the rulers, have made themselves ill, with the heat of wine, —he hath extended his hand with scoffers.
われらの王の日にもろもろの牧伯は酒の熱によりて疾し王は嘲るものとともに手を伸ぶ
6 For they have made ready, like an oven, their heart, by their lying in wait, —all the night, their baker sleepeth, in the morning, he, kindleth up as it were a blazing fire.
かれら伏伺するほどに心を爐のごとくして備をなすそのパンを燒くものは終夜ねむりにつき朝におよべばまた焔のごとく燃ゆ
7 They all, become hot as an oven, and devour their judges, —all their kings, have fallen, there hath been none among them crying unto me.
かれらはみな爐のごとくに熱してその審士をやくそのもろもろの王はみな仆るかれらの中には我をよぶもの一人だになし
8 As for Ephraim! with the peoples, hath he been mingling himself, —Ephraim, is a cake not turned.
エフライムは異邦人にいりまじるエフライムはかへさざる餹餅となれり
9 Foreigners have, eaten up, his strength, and, he, knoweth it not, —even gray hairs, are sprinkled upon him, and, he, knoweth it not.
かれは他邦人らにその力をのまるれども之をしらず白髮その身に雑り生れどもこれをさとらず
10 Therefore doth the Excellency of Israel, answer, to his face; yet have they not returned unto Yahweh their God, nor have they sought him, in spite of all this!
イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなすかれらは此もろもろの事あれどもその神ヱホバに歸ることをせず又もとむることをせざるなり
11 So then, Ephraim, hath become, like a simple dove, having no understanding, on Egypt, have they called, to Assyria, have they gone,
エフライムは智慧なくして愚なる鴿のごとし彼等はエジプトにむかひて呼求めまたアツスリヤに往く
12 Whithersoever they go, I will spread over them my net, like a bird of the heavens, will I bring them down, I will chastise them, by the time the report can reach the flock of them.
我かれらの往ときわが網をその上にはりて天空の鳥のごとくに引堕し前にその公會に告しごとくかれらを懲しめん
13 Woe to them! for they have taken flight from me, destruction to them! for they have transgressed against me, —when, I, would have ransomed them, then, they, spake—concerning me—falsehoods.
禍なるかなかれらは我をはなれて迷ひいでたり敗壞かれらにきたらんかれらは我にむかひて罪ををかしたり我かれらを贖はんとおもへどもかれら我にさからひて謊言をいへり
14 Neither made they outcry unto me, in their heart, although they kept on howling upon their beds, over corn and new wine, they gathered themselves together, they rebelled against me.
かれら誠心をもて我をよばず唯牀にありて哀號べりかれらは穀物とあたらしき酒のゆゑをもて相集りかつわれに逆らふ
15 When, I, had warned them, I strengthened their arm, —yet, against me, kept they on devising wickedness.
我かれらを敎へその腕をつよくせしかども彼らはわれにもとりて惡きことを謀る
16 They would return—not to him who is on high! They have become like a deceitful bow, their rulers, shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongue, this, [shall be] their derision in the land of Egypt.
かれらは歸るされども至高者にかへらず彼らはたのみがたき弓のごとし彼らのもろもろの牧伯はその舌のあらき言によりて劍にたふれん彼らは之がためにエジプトの國にて嘲笑をうくべし
