< Psalms 35 >
1 By David. Contend, LORD, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
ヱホバよねがはくは我にあらそふ者とあらそひ我とたたかふものと戰ひたまへ
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
干と大盾とをとりてわが援にたちいでたまへ
3 Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, “I am your salvation.”
戟をぬきいだしたまひて我におひせまるものの途をふさぎ且わが霊魂にわれはなんぢの救なりといひたまへ
4 Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
願くはわが霊魂をたづぬるものの恥をえていやしめられ 我をそこなはんと謀るものの退けられて惶てふためかんことを
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the LORD’s angel driving them on.
ねがはくはかれらが風のまへなる粃糠のごとくなりヱホバの使者におひやられんことを
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the LORD’s angel pursuing them.
願くはかれらの途をくらくし滑らかにしヱホバの使者にかれらを追ゆかしめたまはんことを
7 For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
かれらは故なく我をとらへんとて網をあなにふせ 故なくわが霊魂をそこなはんとて阱をうがちたればなり
8 Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
願くはかれらが思ひよらぬ間にほろびきたり己がふせたる網にとらへられ自らその滅におちいらんことを
9 My soul shall be joyful in the LORD. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
然ときわが霊魂はヱホバによりてよろこび その救をもて樂しまん
10 All my bones shall say, “LORD, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?”
わがすべての骨はいはん ヱホバよ汝はくるしむものを之にまさりて力つよきものより並くるしむもの貧しきものを掠めうばふ者よりたすけいだし給ふ 誰かなんぢに比ふべき者あらんと
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I do not know about.
こころあしき證人おこりてわが知ざることを詰りとふ
12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
かれらは惡をもてわが善にむくい我がたましひを依仗なきものとせり
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting. My prayer returned into my own bosom.
然どわれかれらが病しときには麁服をつけ糧をたちてわが霊魂をくるしめたり わが祈はふところにかへれり
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
わがかれに作ることはわが友わが兄弟にことならず母の喪にありて痛哭がごとく哀しみうなたれたり
15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.
然どかれらはわが倒れんとせしとき喜びつどひわが知ざりしとき匪類あつまりきたりて我をせめ われを裂てやめざりき
16 Like the profane mockers in feasts, they gnashed their teeth at me.
かれらは洒宴にて穢きことをのぶる嘲笑者のごとく我にむかひて歯をかみならせり
17 Lord, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
主よいたづらに見るのみにして幾何時をへたまふや 願くはわがたましひの彼等にほろぼさるるを脱れしめ わが生命をわかき獅よりまぬかれしめたまへ
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
われ大なる會にありてなんぢに感謝し おほくの民のなかにて汝をほめたたへん
19 Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause wink their eyes.
虚偽をもてわれに仇するもののわが故によろこぶことを容したまなかれ 故なくして我をにくむ者のたがひに眴せすることなからしめたまへ
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
かれらは平安をかたらず あざむきの言をつくりまうけて國内におだやかにすまふ者をそこなはんと謀る
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, “Aha! Aha! Our eye has seen it!”
然のみならず我にむかひて口をあけひろげ ああ視よや視よやわれらの眼これをみたりといへり
22 You have seen it, LORD. Do not keep silent. Lord, do not be far from me.
ヱホバよ汝すでにこれを視たまへり ねがはくは默したまふなかれ主よわれに遠ざかりたまふなかれ
23 Wake up! Rise up to defend me, my God! My Lord, contend for me!
わが神よわが主よ おきたまへ醒たまへ ねがはくはわがために審判をなしわが訟ををさめたまへ
24 Vindicate me, LORD my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me.
わが神ヱホバよなんぢの義にしたがひて我をさばきたまへ わが事によりてかれらに歓喜をえしめたまふなかれ
25 Do not let them say in their heart, “Aha! That’s the way we want it!” Do not let them say, “We have swallowed him up!”
かれらにその心裡にて ああここちよきかな觀よこれわが願ひしところなりといはしめたまふなかれ 又われらかれを呑つくせりといはしめたまふなかれ
26 Let them be disappointed and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
願くはわが害なはるるを喜ぶもの皆はぢて惶てふためき 我にむかひてはこりかに高ぶるものの愧とはづかしめとを衣んことを
27 Let those who favor my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad. Yes, let them say continually, “May the LORD be magnified, who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant!”
わが義をよみする者をばよろこび謳はしめ大なるかなヱホバその僕のさいはひを悦びたまふと恒にいはしめたまへ
28 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
わが舌は終日なんぢの義となんぢの譽とをかたらん
