< Psalms 55 >
1 To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
神よねがはくは耳をわが祈にかたぶけたまへ わが懇求をさけて身をかくしたまふなかれ
2 Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud,
われに聖意をとめ 我にこたへたまへ われ歎息によりてやすからず悲みうめくなり
3 Because of the voice of the enemy; because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
これ仇のこゑと惡きものの暴虐とのゆゑなり そはかれら不義をわれに負せ いきどほりて我におひせまるなり
4 My heart is writhing within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
わが心わがうちに憂ひいたみ死のもろもろの恐懼わがうへにおちたり
5 Fear and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
おそれと戰慄とわれにのぞみ甚だしき恐懼われをおほへり
6 And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest;
われ云ねがはくは鴿のごとく羽翼のあらんことを さらば我とびさりて平安をえん
7 Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; (Selah)
みよ我はるかにのがれさりて野にすまん (セラ)
8 I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.
われ速かにのがれて暴風と狂風とをはなれん
9 Swallow [them] up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
われ都のうちに強暴とあらそひとをみたり 主よねがはくは彼等をほろぼしたまへ かれらの舌をわかれしめたまへ
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.
彼等はひるもよるも石垣のうへをあるきて邑をめぐる 邑のうちには邪曲とあしき企圖とあり
11 Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.
また惡きこと邑のうちにあり しへたげと欺詐とはその街衢をはなるることなし
12 For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me — then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified [himself] against me — then would I have hidden myself from him;
われを謗れるものは仇たりしものにあらず もし然りしならば尚しのばれしなるべし 我にむかひて己をたかくせし者はわれを恨たりしものにあらず若しかりしならば身をかくして彼をさけしなるべし
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. ...
されどこれ汝なり われとおなじきもの わが友われと親しきものなり
14 We who held sweet intercourse together. To the house of God we walked amid the throng.
われら互にしたしき語らひをなし また會衆のなかに在てともに神の家にのぼりたりき
15 Let death seize upon them, let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwellings, in their midst. (Sheol )
死は忽然かれらにのぞみ その生るままにて陰府にくだらんことを そは惡事その住處にありその中にあればなり (Sheol )
16 As for me, unto God will I call; and Jehovah will save me.
されど我はただ神をよばんヱホバわれを救ひたまふべし
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray and moan aloud; and he will hear my voice.
夕にあしたに晝にわれなげき且かなしみうめかん ヱホバわが聲をききたまふべし
18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.
ヱホバは我をせむる戰闘よりわが霊魂をあがなひいだして平安をえしめたまへり そはわれを攻るもの多かりければなり
19 God will hear, and afflict them: he that is seated of old, (Selah) ...because there is no change in them, and they fear not God.
太古よりいます者なる神はわが聲をききてかれらを惱めたまべし (セラ) かれらには變ることなく神をおそるることなし
20 He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
かの人はおのれと睦みをりしものに手をのべてその契約をけがしたり
21 Smooth were the milky [words] of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
その口はなめらかにして乳酥のごとくなれどもその心はたたかひなり その言はあぶらに勝りてやはらかなれどもぬきたる劍にことならず
22 Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
なんぢの荷をヱホバにゆだねよさらば汝をささへたまはん ただしき人のうごかさるることを常にゆるしたまふまじ
23 And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.
かくて神よなんぢはかれらを亡の坑におとしいれたまはん血をながすものと詭計おほきものとは生ておのが日の半にもいたらざるべし 然はあれどわれは汝によりたのまん
