ホセア書 13
1 エフライム言を出せば人をののけり彼はイスラエルのなかに己をたかうしバアルにより罪を犯して死たりしが
When Ephraim spoke, a horror seized Israel: and he sinned in Baal and died.
2 今も尚ますます罪を犯しその銀をもて己のために像を鋳その機巧にしたがひて偶像を作る是みな工人の作なるなり彼らは之につきていふ犠牲を献ぐる者はこの犢に吻を接べしと
And now they have sinned more and more: and they have made to themselves a molten thing of their silver as the likeness of idols: the whole is the work of craftsmen: to these that say: Sacrifice men, ye that adore calves.
3 是によりて彼らは朝の雲のごとく速にきえうする露のごとく打場より大風に吹散さるる穀殻のごとく窓より出ゆく煙のごとくならん
Therefore they shall be as a morning aloud, and as the early dew that passeth away, as the dust that is driven with a whirlwind out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.
4 されど我はエジプトの國をいでてより以來なんぢの神ヱホバなり爾われの外に神を知ことなし我のほかに救者なし
But I am the Lord thy God from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt know no God but me, and there is no saviour beside me.
5 我さきに荒野にて水なき地にて爾を顧みたり
I knew thee in the desert, in the land of the wilderness.
6 かれらは秣場によりて食に飽き飽くによりてその心たかぶり是によりて我を忘れたり
According to their pastures they were filled, and were made full: and they lifted up their heart, and have forgotten me.
7 斯るがゆゑに我かれらに對ひて獅子の如くなり途の傍にひそみうかがふ豹のごとくならん
And I will be to them as a lioness, as a leopard in the way of the Assyrians.
8 われ子をうしなへる熊のごとく彼らに向ひてその心膜を裂き獅子の如くこれを食はん野の獣これを攫斷るべし
I will meet them as a bear that is robbed of her whelps, and I will rend the inner parts of their liver: and I will devour them there as a lion, the beast of the field shall tear them.
9 イスラエルよ汝の滅ぶるは我に背き汝を助くる者に背くが故なり
Destruction is thy own, O Israel: thy help is only in me.
10 汝のもろもろの邑に汝を助くべき汝の王は今いづくにかあるなんぢらがその王と牧伯等とを我に與へよと言たりし士師等は今いづくにかある
Where is thy king? now especially let him save thee in all thy cities: and thy judges, of whom thou saidst: Give me kings and princes.
11 われ忿怒をもて汝に王を與へ憤恨をもて之をうばひたり
I will give thee a king in my wrath, and will take him away in my indignation.
12 エフライムの不義は包まれてありその罪はをさめたくはへられたり
The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up, his sin is hidden.
13 劬勞にかかれる婦のかなしみ之に臨まん彼は愚なる子なり時に臨みてもなほ產門に入らず
The sorrows of a woman in labour snail come upon him, he is an unwise son: for now he shall not stand in the breach of the children.
I will deliver them out of the hand of death. I will redeem them from death: O death, I will be thy death; O hell, I will be thy bite: comfort is hidden from my eyes. (Sheol h7585)
15 彼は兄弟のなかにて果を結ぶこと多けれども東風吹きたりヱホバの息荒野より吹おこらん之がためにその泉は乾その源は涸れんその積蓄へたるもろもろの賓貴器皿は掠め奪はるべし
Because he shall make a separation between brothers: the Lord will bring a burning wind that shall rise from the desert, and it shall dry up his springs, and shall make his fountain desolate, and he shall carry off the treasure of every desirable vessel.
16 サマリヤはその神にそむきたれば刑せられ劍に斃れんその嬰兒はなげくだかれその孕たる婦は剖れん
Let Samaria perish, because she hath stirred up her God to bitterness: let them perish by the sword, let their little ones be dashed, and let the women with child be ripped up.
