Psalms 68
1 God, arise and scatter your enemies, and cause those who hate you to run away from you.
聖歌隊の指揮者によってうたわせたダビデの歌、さんび 神よ、立ちあがって、その敵を散らし、神を憎む者をみ前から逃げ去らせてください。
2 Like [wind] blows smoke away, chase your enemies away. Like wax melts when it is near a fire, cause wicked people to (disappear/be destroyed).
煙の追いやられるように彼らを追いやり、ろうの火の前に溶けるように悪しき者を神の前に滅ぼしてください。
3 But righteous people should be joyful; they should rejoice when they are in God’s presence; they should be happy, and be very joyful.
しかし正しい者を喜ばせ、神の前に喜び踊らせ、喜び楽しませてください。
4 Sing to God; sing to praise him; sing a song (OR, make a road) for him who rides on the clouds; his name is Yahweh; be glad when you are in his presence.
神にむかって歌え、そのみ名をほめうたえ。雲に乗られる者にむかって歌声をあげよ。その名は主、そのみ前に喜び踊れ。
5 God, who lives in his sacred temple, is [like] [MET] a father to [those who are] orphans, and he is the one who protects widows.
その聖なるすまいにおられる神はみなしごの父、やもめの保護者である。
6 For those who have no one to live with, he provides families [to live with]. He frees prisoners and enables them to be successful, but those who rebel [against him] will be forced to live in a very hot and dry land.
神は寄るべなき者に住むべき家を与え、めしゅうどを解いて幸福に導かれる。しかしそむく者はかわいた地に住む。
7 God, you led your people out [of Egypt], and then you marched with them through the desert.
神よ、あなたが民に先だち出て、荒野を進み行かれたとき、 (セラ)
8 After you did that, because when you, the God [worshiped by us] Israeli people, appeared to us at Sinai [Mountain], the earth shook, and rain poured down from the sky.
シナイの主なる神の前に、イスラエルの神なる神の前に、地は震い、天は雨を降らせました。
9 You caused plenty of rain to fall [on your land], [and so] you enabled good crops to grow again on the land that you gave [to us Israelis].
神よ、あなたは豊かな雨を降らせて、疲れ衰えたあなたの嗣業の地を回復され、
10 Your people built homes there; and because you were good to them, you provided [food] for those who were poor.
あなたの群れは、そのうちにすまいを得ました。神よ、あなたは恵みをもって貧しい者のために備えられました。
11 The Lord gave a message, and many women took that message to other places.
主は命令を下される。おとずれを携えた女たちの大いなる群れは言う、
12 [They proclaimed], “Many kings and their armies are running away [from our army]!” [When our army brought back to their homes] the things that they captured, the women who were at home divided up those things [among themselves and among their families].
「もろもろの軍勢の王たちは逃げ去り、逃げ去った」と。家にとどまる女たちは獲物を分ける、
13 Even those women who were in the pens [taking care of] the sheep [received some of those things]; they got statues of doves whose wings were covered with silver and whose feathers were covered with pure yellow gold.
たとい彼らは羊のおりの中にとどまるとも。はとの翼は、しろがねをもっておおわれ、その羽はきらめくこがねをもっておおわれる。
14 When Almighty [God] scattered the [enemy] kings [and their armies], [the number of weapons that they abandoned there] seemed like there had been a snowstorm on Zalmon (OR, a black) [Mountain].
全能者がかしこで王たちを散らされたとき、ザルモンに雪が降った。
15 There is a very high mountain in the Bashan [region], a mountain which has many peaks.
神の山、バシャンの山、峰かさなる山、バシャンの山よ。
16 But the [people who live near] that mountain should not [RHQ] envy those who live near [Zion], the mountain on which God chose to live! Yahweh will live there forever!
峰かさなるもろもろの山よ、何ゆえ神がすまいにと望まれた山をねたみ見るのか。まことに主はとこしえにそこに住まわれる。
17 [After we defeated all our enemies], [it was as though] the Lord, surrounded by many thousands of strong chariots, descended from Sinai [Mountain] and came into the sacred temple [in Jerusalem].
主は神のいくさ車幾千万をもって、シナイから聖所に来られた。
18 He ascended the sacred mountain [where his temple is], and took with him many people who had been captured [in battles]; and received gifts from the enemies [whom he had defeated]. He received gifts even from those who had rebelled against him, and Yahweh our God will live there [in his sacred temple] forever.
あなたはとりこを率い、人々のうちから、またそむく者のうちから贈り物をうけて、高い山に登られた。主なる神がそこに住まわれるためである。
19 Praise the Lord, who [helps us] carry our heavy loads every day; he is the one who saves/rescues us.
日々にわれらの荷を負われる主はほむべきかな。神はわれらの救である。 (セラ)
20 Our God is the God who saves us; He is Yahweh, our Lord, the one who (allows us to escape/prevents us) from being killed [in battles].
われらの神は救の神である。死からのがれ得るのは主なる神による。
21 But God will smash the heads of his enemies, the skulls of those who continue to behave sinfully.
神はその敵のこうべを打ち砕き、おのがとがの中に歩む者の毛深い頭のいただきを打ち砕かれる。
22 The Lord said, “I will bring back the [corpses of those who were killed in] Bashan, and I will bring back those who sank deep in the ocean [and drowned].
主は言われた、「わたしはバシャンから彼らを携え帰り、海の深い所から彼らを携え帰る。
23 I will do that in order that you may wash your feet in their blood, and your dogs can [also] lap up some of your enemies’ blood.”
あなたはその足を彼らの血に浸し、あなたの犬の舌はその分け前を敵から得るであろう」と。
24 God, many people see you march triumphantly into your sacred temple, [celebrating that you have defeated your enemies]. You [march like] a king does, and a large crowd walks with you.
神よ、人々はあなたのこうごうしい行列を見た。わが神、わが王の、聖所に進み行かれるのを見た。
25 The singers are in front, and the people who play stringed instruments are at the rear, and young women who are beating their tambourines are between them.
歌う者は前に行き、琴をひく者はあとになり、おとめらはその間にあって手鼓を打って言う、
26 [They are all singing], “You Israeli people, praise God when you gather together; praise Yahweh, all you who are descendants of Jacob!”
「大いなる集会で神をほめよ。イスラエルの源から出た者よ、主をほめまつれ」と。
27 First come [the people of the tribe of] Benjamin, the smallest [tribe], and following them come the leaders of [the tribe of] Judah and their group, and following them come the leaders of [the tribes of] Zebulun and Naphtali.
そこに彼らを導く年若いベニヤミンがおり、その群れの中にユダの君たちがおり、ゼブルンの君たち、ナフタリの君たちがいる。
28 God, show people that you are very powerful; show people the power with which you have helped us previously.
神よ、あなたの大能を奮い起してください。われらのために事をなされた神よ、あなたの力をお示しください。
29 Show that power from your temple in Jerusalem, where kings bring gifts to you.
エルサレムにあるあなたの宮のために、王たちはあなたに贈り物をささげるでしょう。
30 Rebuke [your enemies, such as those in Egypt who are like] wild hippopotamuses/animals that live in the reeds; and [powerful nations that are like] bulls that are among their calves [MET]; rebuke/trample them until they bow down and give you gifts of silver. Scatter the people who enjoy making wars.
葦の中に住む獣、もろもろの民の子牛を率いる雄牛の群れをいましめてください。みつぎ物をむさぼる者たちを足の下に踏みつけ、戦いを好むもろもろの民を散らしてください。
31 Then people will bring gifts of bronze (OR, of cloth) to you from Egypt; the people in Ethiopia will lift up their hands [to praise you].
青銅をエジプトから持ちきたらせ、エチオピヤには急いでその手を神に伸べさせてください。
32 [You people who are citizens of] kingdoms/countries all over the world, sing to God! Sing praises to the Lord!
地のもろもろの国よ、神にむかって歌え、主をほめうたえ。 (セラ)
33 Sing to the God, the one who rides across the sky, the sky that [he created] long ago. Listen as he shouts with a very powerful voice.
いにしえからの天の天に乗られる主にむかってほめうたえ。見よ、主はみ声を出し、力あるみ声を出される。
34 Proclaim that God is very powerful; he is the king that rules over Israel, and in the skies [he also shows that] he is powerful.
力を神に帰せよ。その威光はイスラエルの上にあり、その力は雲の中にある。
35 God is awesome as he comes out of his sacred temple; he is the God whom [we] Israeli people [worship]. He makes [DOU] his people very powerful. Praise God!
神はその聖所で恐るべく、イスラエルの神はその民に力と勢いとを与えられる。神はほむべきかな。
