ホセア書 7
1 われイスラエルを醫さんときエフライムの愆とサマリヤのあしきわざと露るかれらは詐詭をおこなひ内には偸盗いるあり外には山賊のむれ掠めさるあり かれら心にわがその一切の惡をしたためたることを思はず今その行爲はかれらを囲みふさぎて皆わが目前にあり
When I would heal Israel, then is the iniquity of Ephraim uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria; for they commit falsehood, and the thief entereth in, and the troop of robbers ravageth without.
And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness: now have their own doings beset them about; they are before my face.
3 かれらはその惡をもて王を悦ばせその詐詭をもてもろもろの牧伯を悦ばせり
They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the princes with their lies.
4 かれらはみな姦淫をおこなふ者にしてパンを作るものに焼るる爐のごとし揑粉をこねてその発酵ときまでしばらく火をおこすことをせざるのみなり
They are all adulterers; they are as an oven heated by the baker; he ceaseth to stir [the fire], from the kneading of the dough, until it be leavened.
5 われらの王の目にもろもろの牧伯は洒の熱によりて疾し王は嘲るものとともに手を伸ぶ
On the day of our king the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine; he stretched out his hand with scoffers.
6 かれら伏伺するほどに心を爐のごとくして備をなすそのパンを焼くものは終夜ねむりにつき朝におよべばまた焔のごとく燃ゆ
For they have made ready their heart like an oven, while they lie in wait: their baker sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burneth as a flaming fire.
7 かれらはみな爐のごとくに熱してその審士をやくそのもろもろの王はみな仆るかれらの中には我をよぶもの一人だになし
They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges; all their kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth unto me.
8 エフライムは異邦人にいりまじるエフライムはかへさざる餹餅となれり
Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
9 かれは他邦人らにその力をのまるれども之をしらず白髪その身に雑り生れどもこれをさとらず
Strangers have devoured his strength, and he knoweth [it] not: yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he knoweth [it] not.
10 イスラエルの驕傲はその面にむかひて證をなすかれらは此もろもろの事あれどもその神ヱホバに歸ることをせず又もとむることをせざるなり
And the pride of Israel doth testify to his face: yet they have not returned unto Jehovah their God, nor sought him, for all this.
11 エフライムは智慧なくして愚なる鴿のごとし彼等はエジプトにむかひて呼求めまたアツスリヤに往く
And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding: they call unto Egypt, they go to Assyria.
12 我かれらの往ときわが網をその上にはりて天空の鳥のごとくに引堕し前にその公会に告しごとくかれらを懲しめん
When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them; I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, as their congregation hath heard.
13 禍なるかなかれらは我をはなれて迷ひいでたり敗壊かれらにきたらんかれらは我にむかひて罪ををかしたり我かれらを贖はんとおもへどもかれら我にさからひて謊言をいへり
Woe unto them! for they have wandered from me; destruction unto them! for they have trespassed against me: though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
14 かれら誠心をもて我をよばず唯牀にありて哀號べりかれらは穀物とあたらしき酒のゆゑをもて相集りかつわれに逆らふ
And they have not cried unto me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds: they assemble themselves for grain and new wine; they rebel against me.
15 我かれらを教へその腕をつよくせしかども披らはわれにもとりて惡きことを謀る
Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet do they devise mischief against me.
16 かれらは歸るされども至高者にかへらず彼らはたのみがたき弓のごとし彼らのもろもろの牧伯はその舌のあらき言によりて劍にたふれん彼らは之がためにエジプトの國にて嘲笑をうくべし
They return, but not to [him that is] on high; they are like a deceitful bow; their princes shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
