< Psalms 35 >
1 “Of David.” Contend, O Lord, with those that contend with me: fight against those that 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 rise 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 And draw out the spear, and step in against my pursuers; say unto my soul, I am thy 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 be put to shame and be confounded that seek after my life: let those be turned backward and be made to blush, that devise unhappiness for me.
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; and may the angel of the Lord cast them forth.
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 May their way be dark and slippery: and may the angel of the Lord pursue 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 have they hidden for me their net in a pit, without cause have they dug [pit-falls] against my life.
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 May then destruction come upon each of them at unawares; and may his net that he hath hidden catch himself: in [utter] destruction let him fall therein.
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 But my soul shall exult in the Lord: she shall be glad through 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 will say, Lord, who is like unto thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth 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 There rise up witnesses of violence; concerning what I know not they question me.
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 recompense me with evil in place of good, [bringing] bereavement on 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 with fasting my soul, and 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 As though he had been to me a friend or a brother did I walk about: as one that mourneth for a mother did I sorrowfully bend down my head.
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 downfall they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together; there gathered themselves together against me abject wretches, whom I knew not; they did tear me, and ceased not:
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 With hypocritical babbling mockers, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
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 O Lord, how long wilt thou look on? rescue my soul from their destructions, from the young lions my solitary spirit.
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 thank thee in the great assembly: among a mighty people will I praise thee.
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 Let not rejoice over me those that are my enemies wrongfully: [nor] let those who hate me without cause wink with the eye.
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 speak not peace; but against the quiet in the land they devise deceitful words.
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 Yea, they opened wide against me their mouth; they said, Aha, aha, our eye hath 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 Thou hast seen it, O Lord! remain not silent: O Lord, be not 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 Arouse thyself, and awake to do me justice, my God and my Lord, unto my cause.
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 Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice 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 Let them not say in their heart, Aha, [this is the wish of] our soul: let them not 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 those be made ashamed and put to the blush together that rejoice at my mishap; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves above 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 shout, and rejoice, that desire my righteousness: yea, let them say continually, Great is the Lord, who desireth the welfare 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 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness, all the day of thy praise.
わが舌は終日なんぢの義となんぢの譽とをかたらん
