Lamentations 3
1 I AM the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
我はかれの震怒の笞によりて艱難に遭たる人なり
2 He hath led me and caused me to walk in darkness and not in light.
かれは我をひきて黑暗をあゆませ光明にゆかしめたまはず
3 Surely against me he turneth his hand again and again all the day.
まことに屢々その手をむけて終日われを攻なやまし
4 My flesh and my skin hath he made old; he hath broken my bones.
わが肉と肌膚をおとろへしめ わが骨を摧き
5 He hath builded against me, and compassed me with gall and travail.
われにむかひて患苦と艱難を築きこれをもて我を圍み
6 He hath made me to dwell in dark places, as those that have been long dead.
われをして長久に死し者のごとく暗き處に住しめ
7 He hath fenced me about, that I cannot go forth; he hath made my chain heavy.
我をかこみて出ること能はざらしめわが鏈索を重くしたまへり
8 Yea, when I cry and call for help, he shutteth out my prayer.
我さけびて助をもとめしとき彼わが祈禱をふせぎ
9 He hath fenced up my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
斫たる石をもてわが道を塞ぎわが途をまげたまへり
10 He is unto me as a bear lying in wait, as a lion in secret places.
その我に對することは伏て伺がふ熊のごとく潜みかくるる獅子のごとし
11 He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.
われに路を離れしめ 我をひきさきて獨くるしましめ
12 He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
弓を張りてわれを矢先の的となし
13 He hath caused the shafts of his quiver to enter into my reins.
矢筒の矢をもてわが腰を射ぬきたまへり
14 I am become a derision to all my people; and their song all the day.
われはわがすべての民のあざけりとなり 終日うたひそしらる
15 He hath filled me with bitterness, he hath sated me with wormwood.
かれ我をして苦き物に飽しめ茵蔯を飮しめ
16 He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
小石をもてわが齒を摧き灰をもて我を蒙ひたまへり
17 And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace; I forgat prosperity.
なんぢわが靈魂をして平和を遠くはなれしめたまへば我は福祉をわすれたり
18 And I said, My strength is perished, and mine expectation from the LORD.
是において我みづから言り わが氣力うせゆきぬ ヱホバより何を望むべきところ無しと
19 Remember mine affliction and my misery, the wormwood and the gall.
ねがはくは我が艱難と苦楚茵蔯と膽汁とを心に記たまへ
20 My soul hath them still in remembrance, and is bowed down within me.
わがたましひは今なほ是らの事を想ひてわが衷に鬱ぐ
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope.
われこの事を心におもひ起せり この故に望をいだくなり
22 [It is of] the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
われらの尚ほろびざるはヱホバの仁愛によりその憐憫の盡ざるに因る
23 They are new every morning; great is thy faithfulness.
これは朝ごとに新なり なんぢの誠實はおほいなるかな
24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
わが靈魂は言ふ ヱホバはわが分なり このゆゑに我彼を待ち望まん
25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him.
ヱホバはおのれを待ち望む者とおのれを尋ねもとむる人に恩惠をほどこしたまふ
26 It is good that a man should hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
ヱホバの救拯をのぞみて靜にこれを待は善し
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
人わかき時に軛を負は善し
28 Let him sit alone and keep silence, because he hath laid it upon him.
ヱホバこれを負せたまふなれば獨坐して默すべし
29 Let him put his mouth in the dust; if so be there may he hope.
口を塵につけよ あるひは望あらん
30 Let him give his cheek to him that smiteth him; let him be filled full with reproach.
おのれを撃つ者に頬をむけ 充足れるまでに恥辱をうけよ
31 For the Lord will not cast off for ever.
そは主は永久に棄ることを爲たまはざるべければなり
32 For though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.
かれは患難を與へ給ふといへどもその慈悲おほいなればまた憐憫を加へたまふなり
33 For he doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men.
心より世の人をなやましかつ苦しめ給ふにはあらざるなり
34 To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
世のもろもろの俘囚人を脚の下にふみにじり
35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
至高者の面の前にて人の理を抂げ
36 To subvert a man in his cause, the Lord approveth not.
人の詞訟を屈むることは主のよろこび給はざるところなり
37 Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?
主の命じたまふにあらずば誰か事を述んにその事即ち成んや
38 Out of the mouth of the Most High cometh there not evil and good?
禍も福もともに至高者の口より出るにあらずや
39 Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
活る人なんぞ怨言べけんや 人おのれの罪の罰せらるるをつぶやくべけんや
40 Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the LORD.
我等みづからの行をしらべかつ省みてヱホバに歸るべし
41 Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.
我ら天にいます神にむかひて手とともに心をも擧べし
42 We have transgressed and have rebelled; thou hast not pardoned.
われらは罪ををかし我らは叛きたり なんぢこれを赦したまはざりき
43 Thou hast covered with anger and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not pitied.
なんぢ震怒をもてみづから蔽ひ 我らを追攻め殺してあはれまず
44 Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that [our] prayer should not pass through.
雲をもてみづから蔽ひ 祈禱をして通ぜざらしめ
45 Thou hast made us [as] the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
もろもろの民の中にわれらを塵埃となしたまへり
46 all our enemies have opened their mouth wide against us.
敵は皆われらにむかひて口を張れり
47 Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and destruction.
恐懼と陷阱また暴行と滅亡我らに來れり
48 Mine eye runneth down with rivers of water, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.
わが民の女の滅亡によりてわが眼には涙の河ながる
49 Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
わが目は斷ず涙をそそぎて止ず
50 Till the LORD look down, and behold from heaven.
天よりヱホバの臨み見て顧みたまふ時にまで至らん
51 Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
わが邑の一切の女等の故によりてわが眼はわが心をいたましむ
52 They have chased me sore like a bird, that are mine enemies without cause.
故なくして我に敵する者ども鳥を追ごとくにいたく我をおひ
53 They have cut off my life in the dungeon, and have cast a stone upon me.
わが生命を坑の中にほろぼし わが上に石を投かけ
54 Waters flowed over mine head; I said, I am cut off.
また水わが頭の上に溢る 我みづから言り滅びうせぬと
55 I called upon thy name, O LORD, out of the lowest dungeon.
ヱホバよ われ深き坑の底より汝の名を呼り
56 Thou heardest my voice; hide not thine ear at my breathing, at my cry.
なんぢ我が聲を聽たまへり わが哀歎と祈求に耳をおほひたまふなかれ
57 Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee: thou saidst, Fear not.
わが汝を龥たりし時なんぢは近よりたまひて恐るるなかれと宣へり
58 O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.
主よなんぢはわが靈魂の訴を助け伸べ わが生命を贖ひ給へり
59 O LORD, thou hast seen my wrong; judge thou my cause.
ヱホバよ なんぢは我がかうむりたる不義を見たまへり 願はくは我に正しき審判を與へたまへ
60 Thou hast seen all their vengeance and all their devices against me.
なんぢは彼らが我を怨み われを害せんとはかるを凡て見たまへり
61 Thou hast heard their reproach, O LORD, and all their devices against me;
ヱホバよなんぢは彼らが我を詈り 我を害せんとはかるを凡て聞たまへり
62 The lips of those that rose up against me, and their imagination against me all the day.
かの立て我に逆らふ者等の言語およびその終日われを攻んとて運らす謀計もまた汝これを聞たまへり
63 Behold thou their sitting down, and their rising up; I am their song.
ねがはくは彼らの起居をかんがみたまへ 我はかれらに歌ひそしらる
64 Thou wilt render unto them a recompence, O LORD, according to the work of their hands.
ヱホバよ なんぢは彼らが手に爲すところに循がひて報をなし
65 Thou wilt give them hardness of heart, thy curse unto them.
かれらをして心くらからしめたまはん なんぢの呪詛かれらに歸せよ
66 Thou wilt pursue them in anger, and destroy them from under the heavens of the LORD.
なんぢは震怒をもてかれらを追ひ ヱホバの天の下よりかれらをほろぼし絶たまはん
