ホセア書 10
1 イスラエルは果をむすびて茂り榮る葡萄の樹その果の多くなるがままに祭壇をましその地の饒かなるがままに偶像を美しくせり
Israel is an empty vine, he brings forth fruit unto himself: according to the multitude of his fruit he has increased the altars; according to the goodness of his land they have made goodly images.
2 かれらは二心をいだけり今かれら罪せらるべし神はその祭壇を打毀ちその偶像を折棄てたまはん
Their heart is divided; now shall they be found faulty: he shall break down their altars, he shall spoil their images.
3 かれら今いふべし我儕神を畏れざりしに因て我らに王なしこの王はわれらのために何をかなさんと
For now they shall say, We have no king, because we feared not the LORD; what then should a king do to us?
4 かれらは虚しき言をいだし偽の誓をなして約をたつ審判は畑の畝にもえいづる茵蔯のごとし
They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant: thus judgment springs up as hemlock in the furrows of the field.
5 サマリヤの居民はベテアベンの犢の故によりて戰慄かんその民とこれを悦ぶ祭司等はその榮のうせたるが爲になげかん
The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.
6 犢はアッスリヤに携へられ禮物としてヤレブ王に献げらるべしエフライムは羞をかうむりイスラエルはおのが計議を恥ぢん
It shall be also carried unto Assyria for a present to king Jareb: Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.
7 サマリヤはほろびその王は水のうへの木片のごとし
As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam upon the water.
8 イスラエルの罪なるアベンの崇邱は荒はてて荊棘と蒺藜その壇のうへにはえ茂らんその時かれら山にむかひて我儕をおほへ陵にむかひて我儕のうへに倒れよといはん
The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.
9 イスラエルよ汝はギベアの日より罪ををかせり彼等はそこに立り邪惡のひとびとを攻たりし戰爭はギベアにてかれらに及ばざりき
O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah: there they stood: the battle in Gibeah against the children of iniquity did not overtake them.
10 我思ふままに彼等をいましめん彼等その二の罪につながれん時もろもろの民あつまりて之をせめん
It is in my desire that I should chastise them; and the people shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves in their two furrows.
11 エフライムは馴されたる牝牛のごとくにして穀をふむことを好むされどわれその美しき頸に物を負しむべし我エフライムに軛をかけんユダは耕しヤコブは土塊をくだかん
And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and loves to tread out the corn; but I passed over upon her fair neck: I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.
12 なんぢら義を生ずるために種をまき憐憫にしたがひてかりとり又新地をひらけ今はヱホバを求むべき時なり終にはヱホバきたりて義を雨のごとく汝等のうへに降せたまはん
Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he comes and rain righteousness upon you.
13 なんぢらは惡をたがへし不義を穫をさめ虚偽の果をくらへりこは汝おのれの途をたのみ己が勇士の數衆きをたのめるに縁る
All of you have plowed wickedness, all of you have reaped iniquity; all of you have eaten the fruit of lies: because you did trust in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.
14 この故になんぢらの民のなかに擾亂おこりて汝らの城はことごとく打破られんシャルマンが戰門の日にベテアルベルを打破りしにことならず母その子とともに碎かれたり
Therefore shall a tumult arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 なんぢらの大なる惡のゆゑによりてべテル如此なんぢらに行へるなりイスラエルの王はあしたに滅びん
So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.
