< ホセア書 9 >

1 イスラエルよ異邦人のごとく喜びすさむ勿れなんぢ淫行をなして汝の神を離る汝すべての麥の打塲にて賜はる淫行の賞賜を愛せり
Rejoice not, O Israel for ioy as other people: for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God: thou hast loued a rewarde vpon euery corne floore.
2 打場と酒榨とはかれらを養はじ亦あたらしき酒もむなしくならん
The floore, and the wine presse shall not feede them, and the newe wine shall faile in her.
3 かれらはヱホバの地にとどまらずエフライムはエジプトに歸りアッスリヤにて汚穢たる物を食はん
They wil not dwel in the Lordes lande, but Ephraim will returne to Egypt, and they will eate vncleane things in Asshur.
4 彼等はヱホバにむかひて酒を灌ぐべき者にあらずその祭物はヱホバの悦びたまふ所にあらずかれらの犠牲は喪に居もののパンのごとし凡てこれを食ふものは汚るべし彼等のパンは只おのが食ふためにのみ用ゐべくしてヱホバの家に入るべきにあらず
They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasant vnto him: but they shall be vnto them as the bread of mourners: al that eate thereof, shalbe polluted: for their bread for their soules shall not come into the house of the Lord.
5 なんぢら集會の日とヱホバの節會の日に何をなさんとするや
What wil ye do then in the solemne day, and in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 視よかれら滅亡の故によりて去ゆきぬエジプトかれらをあつめメンピスかれらを葬らん蒺藜かれらが銀の寳物を獲いばら彼らの天幕に蔓らん
For loe, they are gone from destruction: but Egypt shall gather them vp, and Memphis shall burie them: the nettle shall possesse the pleasant places of their siluer, and the thorne shall be in their tabernacles.
7 刑罰の日きたり應報の日きたれりイスラエルこれを知ん預言者は愚なるもの霊に感じたるものは狂へるものなりこれ汝の惡おほく汝の怨恨おほいなるに因る
The daies of visitation are come: the daies of recompence are come: Israel shall knowe it: the Prophet is a foole: the spiritual man is mad, for the multitude of thine iniquitie: therefore the hatred is great.
8 エフライムは我が神にならべて他の神をも佇望めり預言者の一切の途は鳥を捕ふる者の網のごとく且その神の室の中にて怨恨を懐けり
The watchman of Ephraim shoulde bee with my God: but the Prophet is the snare of a fouler in all his waies, and hatred in the House of his God.
9 かれらはギベアの日のごとく甚だしく惡き事を行へりヱホバはその惡をこころに記てその罪を罰したまはん
They are deepely set: they are corrupt as in the daies of Gibeah: therefore he will remember their iniquitie, he will visite their sinnes.
10 在昔われイスラエルを見ること荒野の葡萄のごとく汝らの先祖等を看ること無花果樹の始にむすべる最先の果の如くなししに彼等はバアルペオルにゆきて身を恥辱にゆだねその愛する物とともに憎むべき者とはなれり
I found Israel like grapes in the wildernes: I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the figge tree at her first time: but they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselues vnto that shame, and their abominations were according to their louers.
11 エフライムの榮光は鳥のごとく飛さらん即ち產ことも孕むことも妊娠こともなかるべし
Ephraim their glorie shall flee away like a birde: from the birth and from the wombe, and from the conception.
12 假令かれら子等を育つるとも我その子を喪ひて遺る人なきにいたらしめん我が離るる時かれらの禍大なる哉
Though they bring vp their children, yet I will depriue them from being men: yea, woe to them, when I depart from them.
13 われエフライムを美地に植てツロのごとくなししかどもエフライムはその子等を携へいだして人を殺すに付さんとす
Ephraim, as I sawe, is as a tree in Tyrus planted in a cottage: but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the murtherer.
14 ヱホバよ彼らに與へたまへ汝なにを與へんとしたまふや孕まざる胎と乳なき乳房とを與へたまへ
O Lord, giue them: what wilt thou giue them? giue them a baren wombe and drie breasts.
15 かれらが凡の惡はギルガルにあり此故に我かしこにて之を惡めりその行爲あしければ我が家より逐いだし重て愛することをせじその牧伯等はみな悖れる者なり
All their wickednesse is in Gilgal: for there doe I hate them: for the wickednesse of their inuentions, I will cast them out of mine House: I will loue them no more: all their princes are rebels.
16 エフライムは撃れその根はかれて果を結ぶまじ若し產ことあらば我その胎なる愛しむ實を殺さん
Ephraim is smitten, their roote is dried vp: they can bring no fruite: yea, though they bring foorth, yet will I slaie euen the dearest of their bodie.
17 かれら聽從はざるによりて我が神これを棄たまふべしかれらは列國民のうちに流離人とならん
My God will cast them away, because they did not obey him: and they shall wander among the nations.
