Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!
主をほめたたえよ。もろもろの天から主をほめたたえよ。もろもろの高き所で主をほめたたえよ。
2 All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!
その天使よ、みな主をほめたたえよ。その万軍よ、みな主をほめたたえよ。
3 Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!
日よ、月よ、主をほめたたえよ。輝く星よ、みな主をほめたたえよ。
4 You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!
いと高き天よ、天の上にある水よ、主をほめたたえよ。
5 I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.
これらのものに主のみ名をほめたたえさせよ、これらは主が命じられると造られたからである。
6 He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!
主はこれらをとこしえに堅く定め、越えることのできないその境を定められた。
7 And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],
海の獣よ、すべての淵よ、地から主をほめたたえよ。
8 and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!
火よ、あられよ、雪よ、霜よ、み言葉を行うあらしよ、
9 Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],
もろもろの山、すべての丘、実を結ぶ木、すべての香柏よ、
10 all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!
野の獣、すべての家畜、這うもの、翼ある鳥よ、
11 You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,
地の王たち、すべての民、君たち、地のすべてのつかさよ、
12 you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]
若い男子、若い女子、老いた人と幼い者よ、
13 I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
彼らをして主のみ名をほめたたえさせよ。そのみ名は高く、たぐいなく、その栄光は地と天の上にあるからである。
14 He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
主はその民のために一つの角をあげられた。これはすべての聖徒のほめたたえるもの、主に近いイスラエルの人々のほめたたえるものである。主をほめたたえよ。
