Psalms 79
1 A Psalm of Asaph. O God, the Gentiles have entered into your inheritance; they have polluted your holy temple. They have set Jerusalem as a place to tend fruit trees.
ああ神よもろもろの異邦人はなんぢの嗣業の地ををかし なんぢの聖宮をけがしヱルサレムをこぼちて礫堆となし
2 They have placed the dead bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the sky, the flesh of your saints for the beasts of the earth.
なんぢの僕のしかばねをそらの鳥に與へて餌となし なんぢの聖徒の肉を地のけものにあたへ
3 They have poured out their blood like water all around Jerusalem, and there was no one who would bury them.
その血をヱルサレムのめぐりに水のごとく流したりされど之をはうむる人なし
4 We have become a disgrace to our neighbors, an object of ridicule and mockery to those who are around us.
われらは隣人にそしられ四周のひとびとに侮られ嘲けらるるものとなれり
5 How long, O Lord? Will you be angry until the end? Will your zeal be kindled like a fire?
ヱホバよ斯て幾何時をへたまふや 汝とこしへに怒たまふや なんぢのねたみは火のごとく燃るか
6 Pour out your wrath among the Gentiles, who have not known you, and upon the kingdoms that have not invoked your name.
願くはなんぢを識ざることくにびと聖名をよばざるもろもろの國のうへに烈怒をそそぎたまへ
7 For they have devoured Jacob, and they have desolated his place.
かれらはヤコブを呑その住處をあらしたればなり
8 Do not remember our iniquities of the past. May your mercies quickly intercept us, for we have become exceedingly poor.
われらにむかひて先祖のよこしまなるわざを記念したまふなかれ願くはなんぢの憐憫をもて速かにわれらを迎へたまへ われらは貶されて甚だしく卑くなりたればなり
9 Help us, O God, our Savior. And free us, Lord, for the glory of your name. And forgive us our sins for the sake of your name.
われらのすくひの神よ名のえいくわうのために我儕をたすけ名のためにわれらを救ひ われらの罪をのぞきたまへ
10 Let them not say among the Gentiles, “Where is their God?” And may your name become known among the nations before our eyes. For the retribution of your servants’ blood, which has been poured out:
いかなれば異邦人はいふ かれらの神はいづくにありやと 願くはなんぢの僕等がながされし血の報をわれらの目前になして異邦人にしらしめたまへ
11 may the groans of the shackled enter before you. According to the greatness of your arm, take possession of the sons of those who have been killed.
ねがはくは汝のみまへにとらはれびとの嘆息のとどかんことを なんぢの大なる能力により死にさだめられし者をまもりて存へしめたまへ
12 And repay our neighbors sevenfold within their sinews. It is the reproach of the same ones who brought reproach against you, O Lord.
主よわれらの隣人のなんぢをそしりたる謗を七倍ましてその懐にむくいかへしたまへ
13 But we are your people and the sheep of your pasture: we will give thanks to you in all ages. From generation to generation, we will announce your praise.
然ばわれらなんぢの民なんぢの草苑のひつじは永遠になんぢに感謝しその頌辭を世々あらはさん
