Psalms 17
1 Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
ダビデの祈 主よ、正しい訴えを聞き、わたしの叫びにみ心をとめ、偽りのないくちびるから出るわたしの祈に耳を傾けてください。
2 You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling the truth.
どうかわたしについての宣告がみ前から出て、あなたの目が公平をみられるように。
3 You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
あなたがわたしの心をためし、夜、わたしに臨み、わたしを試みられても、わたしのうちになんの悪い思いをも見いだされないでしょう。わたしの口も罪を犯しません。
4 I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
人のおこないの事をいえば、あなたのくちびるの言葉によって、わたしは不法な者の道を避けました。
5 I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have (never failed to do/always done) [LIT] those things.
わたしの歩みはあなたの道に堅く立ち、わたしの足はすべることがなかったのです。
6 O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
神よ、わたしはあなたに呼ばわります。あなたはわたしに答えられます。どうか耳を傾けて、わたしの述べることをお聞きください。
7 Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power [MTY] rescue those who (run to/trust in) you to protect them from their enemies.
寄り頼む者をそのあだから右の手で救われる者よ、あなたのいつくしみを驚くばかりにあらわし、
8 Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like [birds] protect [their babies] under their wings [MET].
ひとみのようにわたしを守り、みつばさの陰にわたしを隠し、
9 Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
わたしをしえたげる悪しき者から、わたしを囲む恐ろしい敵から、のがれさせてください。
10 They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
彼らはその心を閉じて、あわれむことなく、その口をもって高ぶって語るのです。
11 They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
彼らはわたしを追いつめ、わたしを囲み、わたしを地に投げ倒さんと、その目をそそぎます。
12 They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce [on their prey].
彼らはかき裂かんと、いらだつししのごとく、隠れた所にひそみ待つ子じしのようです。
13 Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
主よ、立ちあがって、彼らに立ちむかい、彼らを倒してください。つるぎをもって悪しき者からわたしのいのちをお救いください。
14 Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
主よ、み手をもって人々からわたしをお救いください。すなわち自分の分け前をこの世で受け、あなたの宝をもってその腹を満たされる世の人々からわたしをお救いください。彼らは多くの子に飽き足り、その富を幼な子に残すのです。
15 Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
しかしわたしは義にあって、み顔を見、目ざめる時、みかたちを見て、満ち足りるでしょう。
