< Hosea 11 >

1 “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt.
イスラエルの幼かりしとき我これを愛しぬ我わが子をエジプトより呼いだしたり
2 They called to them, so they went from them. They sacrificed to the Baals, and burned incense to engraved images.
かれらは呼るるに隨ひていよいよその呼者に遠ざかり且もろもろのバアルに犠牲をささげ雕たる偶像に香を焚り
3 Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them by their arms, but they didn’t know that I healed them.
われエフライムに歩むことををしへ彼等をわが腕にのせて抱けり然どかれらは我にいやされたるを知ず
4 I drew them with cords of a man, with ties of love; and I was to them like those who lift up the yoke on their necks; and I bent down to him and I fed him.
われ人にもちゐる索すなはち愛のつなをもて彼等をひけり我がかれらを待ふは軛をその腮より挙のくるもののごとくにして彼等に食物をあたへたり
5 “They won’t return into the land of Egypt; but the Assyrian will be their king, because they refused to repent.
かれらはエジプトの地にかへらじ然どかれらがヱホバに歸らざるによりてアツスリヤ人その王とならん
6 The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans.
劍かれらの諸邑にまはりゆきてその関門をこぼち彼らをその謀計の故によりて滅さん
7 My people are determined to turn from me. Though they call to the Most High, he certainly won’t exalt them.
わが民はともすれば我にはなれんとする心あり人これを招きて上に在るものに属しめんとすれども身をおこすもの一人だになし
8 “How can I give you up, Ephraim? How can I hand you over, Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I make you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned within me, my compassion is aroused.
エフライムよ我いかで汝をすてんやイスラエルよ我いかで汝をわたさんや我いかで汝をアデマのごとくせんや争でなんぢをゼボイムのごとく爲んやわが心わが衷にかはりて我の愛憐ことごとく燃おこれり
9 I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim, for I am God, and not man—the Holy One among you. I will not come in wrath.
我わが烈しき震怒をほどこすことをせじ我かさねてエフライムを滅すことをせじ我は人にあらず神なればなり我は汝のうちにいます聖者なりいかりをもて臨まじ
10 They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.
かれらは獅子の吼るごとくに聲を出したまふヱホバに隨ひて歩まんヱホバ聲を出したまへば子等は西より急ぎ來らん
11 They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria; and I will settle them in their houses,” says Yahweh.
かれらエジプトより鳥のごとくアツスリヤより鴿のごとくに急ぎ來らん我かれらをその家々に住はしむべし是エホバの聖言なり
12 Ephraim surrounds me with falsehood, and the house of Israel with deceit. Judah still strays from God, and is unfaithful to the Holy One.
エフライムは謊言をもてイスラエルの家は詐偽をもて我を囲めりユダは神と信ある聖者とに属きみつかずみ漂蕩をれり
