Psalms 78
1 A contemplation by Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
わが民よわが敎訓をきき、わが口のことばになんぢらの耳をかたぶけよ
2 I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,
われ口をひらきて譬喩をまうけ いにしへの玄幽なる語をかたりいでん
3 which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
是われらが曩にききしところ知しところ又われらが列祖のかたりつたへし所なり
4 We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.
われら之をその子孫にかくさずヱホバのもろもろの頌美と能力とそのなしたまへる奇しき事跡とをきたらんとする世につげん
5 For he established a covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;
そはヱホバ證詞をヤコブのうちにたて律法をイスラエルのうちに定めてその子孫にしらすべきことをわれらの列祖におほせたまひたればなり
6 that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,
これ來らんとする代のちに生るる子孫がこれを知みづから起りてそのまた子孫につたへ
7 that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,
かれらをして神によりたのみ神のみわざを忘れずその誡命をまもらしめん爲なり
8 and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
またその列祖のごとく頑固にしてそむくものの類となり そのこころ修まらず そのたましひ神に忠ならざる類とならざらん爲なり
9 The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
エフライムのこらは武具ととのへ弓をたづさへしに戰ひの日にうしろをそむけたり
10 They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk in his law.
かれら神のちかひをまもらず そのおきてを履ことをいなみ
11 They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
ヱホバのなしたまへることとかれらに示したまへる奇しき事跡とをわすれたり
12 He did marvellous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
神はエジプトの國にてゾアンの野にて妙なる事をかれらの列祖のまへになしたまへり
13 He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
すなはち海をさきてかれらを過ぎしめ水をつみて堆かくしたまへり
14 In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
ひるは雲をもてかれらをみちびき夜はよもすがら火の光をもてこれを導きたまへり
15 He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
神はあれのにて磐をさき大なる淵より汲がごとくにかれらに飮しめ
16 He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
また磐より流をひきて河のごとくに水をながれしめたまへり
17 Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
然るにかれら尚たえまなく罪ををかして神にさからひ荒野にて至上者にそむき
18 They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
またおのが慾のために食をもとめてその心のうちに神をこころみたり
19 Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
然のみならずかれらは神にさからひていへり 神は荒野にて筵をまうけたまふを得んや
20 Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”
みよ神いはを撃たまへば水ほどばしりいで流あぶれたり 糧をもあたへたまふを得んや神はその民のために肉をそなへたまはんやと
21 Therefore the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,
この故にヱホバこれを聞ていきどほりたまひき 火はヤコブにむかひてもえあがり怒はイスラエルにむかひて立騰れり
22 because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation.
こはかれら神を信ぜずその救にたのまざりし故なり
23 Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.
されどなほ神はうへなる雲に命じて天の戸をひらき
24 He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.
彼等のうへにマナをふらせて食はしめ天の穀物をあたへたまへり
25 Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.
人みな勇士の糧をくらへり 神はかれらに食物をおくりて飽足らしめたまふ
26 He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.
神は天に東風をふかせ大能もて南の風をみちびきたまへり
27 He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.
神はかれらのうへに塵のごとく肉をふらせ海の沙のごとく翼ある鳥をふらせて
28 He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.
その營のなかその住所のまはりに落したまへり
29 So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
斯てかれらは食ひて飽たりぬ 神はこれにその欲みしものを與へたまへり
30 They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,
かれらが未だその慾をはなれず食物のなほ口のうちにあるほどに
31 when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.
神のいかり旣にかれらに對ひてたちのぼり彼等のうちにて最もこえたる者をころしイスラエルのわかき男をうちたふしたまへり
32 For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.
これらの事ありしかど彼等はなほ罪ををかしてその奇しきみわざを信ぜざりしかば
33 Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
神はかれらの日を空しくすぐさせ その年をおそれつつ過させたまへり
34 When he killed them, then they enquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.
神かれらを殺したまへる時かれら神をたづね歸りきたりて懇ろに神をもとめたり
35 They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.
かくて神はおのれの磐いとたかき神はおのれの贖主なることをおもひいでたり
36 But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
然はあれど彼等はただその口をもて神にへつらひその舌をもて神にいつはりをいひたりしのみ
37 For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.
そはかれらのこころは神にむかひて堅からず その契約をまもるに忠信ならざりき
38 But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.
されど神はあはれみに充たまへばかれらの不義をゆるして亡したまはず屡ばそのみいかりを轉してことごとくは忿恚をふりおこし給はざりき
39 He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.
又かれがただ肉にして過去ばふたたび歸りこぬ風なるをおもひいで給へり
40 How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
かれらは野にて神にそむき荒野にて神をうれへしめしこと幾次ぞや
41 They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
かれらかへすがへす神をこころみイスラエルの聖者をはづかしめたり
42 They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
かれらは神の手をも敵より贖ひたまひし日をもおもひいでざりき
43 how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,
神はそのもろもろの豫兆をエジプトにあらはしその奇しき事をゾアンの野にあらはし
44 he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
かれらの河を血にかはらせてその流を飮あたはざらしめ
45 He sent amongst them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
また蝿の群をおくりてかれらをくはしめ蛙をおくりてかれらを亡させたまへり
46 He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labour to the locust.
神はかれらの田產を蟊賊にわたし かれらの勤勞を蝗にあたへたまへり
47 He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
神は雹をもてかれらの葡萄の樹をからし霜をもてかれらの桑の樹をからし
48 He also gave over their livestock to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
その家畜をへうにわたしその群をもゆる閃電にわたし
49 He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.
かれらの上にはげしき怒といきどほりと怨恨となやみと禍害のつかひの群とをなげいだし給へり
50 He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,
神はその怒をもらす道をまうけ かれらのたましひを死よりまぬかれしめず そのいのちを疫癘にわたし
51 and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
エジプトにてすべての初子をうちハムの幕屋にてかれらの力の始をうちたまへり
52 But he led out his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
されどおのれの民を羊のごとくに引いだし かれらを曠野にてけだものの群のごとくにみちびき
53 He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
かれらをともなひておそれなく安けからしめ給へり されど海はかれらの仇をおほへり
54 He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
神はその聖所のさかひ その右の手にて購たまへるこの山に彼らを携へたまへり
55 He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
又かれらの前にてもろもろの國人をおもひいだし準縄をもちゐ その地をわかちて嗣業となし イスラエルの族をかれらの幕屋にすまはせたまへり
56 Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,
然はあれど彼等はいとたかき神をこころみ之にそむきてそのもろもろの證詞をまもらず
57 but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.
叛きしりぞきてその列祖の如く眞實をうしなひ くるへる弓のごとくひるがへりて逸ゆけり
58 For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
高處をまうけて神のいきどほりをひき刻める像にて神の嫉妬をおこしたり
59 When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,
神ききたまひて甚だしくいかり大にイスラエルを憎みたまひしかば
60 so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed amongst men,
人々の間におきたまひし幕屋なるシロのあげばりを棄さり
61 and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.
その力をとりことならしめ その榮光を敵の手にわたし
62 He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
その民を劍にあたへ その嗣業にむかひて甚だしく怒りたまへり
63 Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
火はかれらのわかき男をやきつくし かれらの處女はその婚姻の歌によりて譽らるることなく
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.
かれらの祭司はつるぎにて仆れ かれらの寡婦は喪のなげきだにせざりき
65 Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
斯るときに主はねぶりし者のさめしごとく勇士の酒によりてさけぶがごとく目さめたまひて
66 He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
その敵をうちしりぞけ とこしへの辱をかれらに負せたまへり
67 Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,
またヨセフの幕屋をいなみエフライムの族をえらばず
68 But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.
ユダの族そのいつくしみたまふシオンの山をえらびたまへり
69 He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
その聖所を山のごとく永遠にさだめたまへる地のごとくに立たまへり
70 He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
またその僕ダビデをえらびて羊の牢のなかよりとり
71 from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.
乳をあたふる牝羊にしたがひゆく勤のうちより携へきたりてその民ヤコブその嗣業イスラエルを牧はせたまへり
72 So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.
斯てダビデはそのこころの完全にしたがひてかれらを牧ひ その手のたくみをもて之をみちびけり
