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
Don’t rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.
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 threshing floor and the wine press won’t feed them, and the new wine will fail 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 won’t dwell in the LORD’s land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.
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 won’t pour out wine offerings to the LORD, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the LORD’s house.
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 will you do in the day of solemn assembly, 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, behold, when they flee destruction, Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.
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 days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility 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
A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler’s snare is on all of his paths, and hostility 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 have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for their sins.
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 wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.
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
As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. There will be no birth, no one with child, and no 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 up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also 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
I have seen Ephraim, like Tyre, planted in a pleasant place; but Ephraim will bring out his children to the murderer.
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
Give them—LORD what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry 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 wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds, I will drive them out of my house! I will love 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 struck. Their root has dried up. They will bear no fruit. Even though they give birth, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.”
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 didn’t listen to him; and they will be wanderers amongst the nations.
