< Psalms 99 >
1 Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!
主は王となられた。もろもろの民はおののけ。主はケルビムの上に座せられる。地は震えよ。
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
主はシオンにおられて大いなる神、主はもろもろの民の上に高くいらせられる。
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
彼らはあなたの大いなる恐るべきみ名をほめたたえるであろう。主は聖でいらせられる。
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
大能の王であり、公義を愛する者であるあなたは堅く公平を立て、ヤコブの中に正と義とを行われた。
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
われらの神、主をあがめ、その足台のもとで拝みまつれ。主は聖でいらせられる。
6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.
その祭司の中にモーセとアロンとがあった。そのみ名を呼ぶ者の中にサムエルもあった。彼らが主に呼ばわると、主は答えられた。
7 He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.
主は雲の柱のうちで彼らに語られた。彼らはそのあかしと、彼らに賜わった定めとを守った。
8 Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.
われらの神、主よ、あなたは彼らに答えられた。あなたは彼らにゆるしを与えられた神であったが、悪を行う者には報復された。
9 Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
われらの神、主をあがめ、その聖なる山で拝みまつれ。われらの神、主は聖でいらせられるからである。
