詩篇 104
1 わが霊魂よヱホパをほめまつれ わが神ヱホバよなんぢは至大にして尊貴と稜威とを衣たまへり
Bless Jehovah, O my soul. O Jehovah my God, thou are very great. Thou are clothed with honor and majesty,
2 なんぢ光をころものごとくにまとひ天を幕のごとくにはり
who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
3 水のなかにおのれの殿の棟梁をおき 雲をおのれの車となし 風の翼にのりあるき
who lays the beams of his chambers in the waters, who makes the clouds his chariot, who walks upon the wings of the wind,
4 かぜを使者となし熖のいづる火を僕となしたまふ
who makes his agents spirits, his ministers a flame of fire,
5 ヱホバは地を基のうへにおきて 永遠にうごくことなからしめたまふ
who laid the foundations of the earth that it should not be moved forever.
6 衣にておほふがごとく大水にて地をおほひたまへり 水たたへて山のうへをこゆ
Thou covered it with the deep as with a vesture. The waters stood above the mountains.
7 なんぢ叱咤すれば水しりぞき 汝いかづちの聲をはなてば水たちまち去ぬ
At thy rebuke they fled. At the voice of thy thunder they hastened away.
8 あるひは山にのぼり或ひは谷にくだりて 汝のさだめたまへる所にゆけり
The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the place which thou had founded for them.
9 なんぢ界をたてて之をこえしめず ふたたび地をおほふことなからしむ
Thou have set a bound that they may not pass over, that they turn not again to cover the earth.
10 ヱホバはいづみを谷にわきいだし給ふ その流は山のあひだにはしる
He sends forth springs into the valleys. They run among the mountains.
11 かくて野のもろもろの獣にのましむ 野の驢馬もその渇をやむ
They give drink to every beast of the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 空の鳥もそのほとりにすみ 樹梢の間よりさえづりうたふ
By them the birds of the heavens have their habitation. They sing among the branches.
13 ヱホバはその殿よりもろもろの山に灌漑たまふ 地はなんぢのみわざの實によりて飽足ぬ
He waters the mountains from his chambers. The earth is filled with the fruit of thy works.
14 ヱホバは草をはえしめて家畜にあたへ 田產をはえしめて人の使用にそなへたまふ かく地より食物をいだしたまふ
He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herbage for the service of man, that he may bring forth food out of the earth,
15 人のこころを歓ばしむる葡萄酒 ひとの顔をつややかならしむるあぶら 人のこころを強からしむる糧どもなり
and wine that makes glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread that strengthens man's heart.
16 ヱホバの樹とその植たまへるレバノンの香柏とは飽足ぬべし
The trees of Jehovah are full, the cedars of Lebanon, which he has planted,
17 鳥はそのなかに巣をつくり鶴は松をその棲とせり
where the birds make their nests. As for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
18 たかき山は山羊のすまひ磐石は山鼠のかくるる所なり
The high mountains are for the wild goats. The rocks are a refuge for the conies.
19 ヱホバは月をつくりて時をつかさどらせたまへり 日はその西にいることをしる
He appointed the moon for seasons. The sun knows his going down.
20 なんぢ黑暗をつくりたまへば夜あり そのとき林のけものは皆しのびしのびに出きたる
Thou make darkness, and it is night, during which all the beasts of the forest creep forth.
21 わかき獅ほえて餌をもとめ神にくひものをもとむ
The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.
22 日いづれば退きてその穴にふす
The sun arises; they get away, and lie down in their dens.
23 人はいでて工をとりその勤勞はゆふべにまでいたる
Man goes forth to his work and to his labor until the evening.
24 ヱホバよなんぢの事跡はいかに多なる これらは皆なんぢの智慧にてつくりたまへり 汝のもろもろの富は地にみつ
O Jehovah, how manifold are thy works! In wisdom have thou made them all. The earth is full of thy riches.
25 かしこに大なるひろき海あり そのなかに數しられぬ匍ふもの小なる大なる生るものあり
Yonder is the sea, great and wide, in which are innumerable creeping things, both small and great beasts.
26 舟そのうへをはしり汝のつくりたまへる鰐そのうちにあそびたはぶる
There go the ships. There is leviathan, whom thou have formed to play in it.
27 彼ら皆なんぢを俟望む なんぢ宜時にくひものを之にあたへたまふ
These all wait for thee, that thou may give them their food in due season.
28 彼等はなんぢの予へたまふ物をひろふ なんぢ手をひらきたまへばかれら嘉物にあきたりぬ
Thou give to them, they gather. Thou open thy hand, they are satisfied with good.
29 なんぢ面をおほひたまへば彼等はあわてふためく 汝かれらの氣息をとりたまへばかれらは死て塵にかへる
Thou hide thy face, they are troubled. Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
30 なんぢ霊をいだしたまへば百物みな造らるなんぢ地のおもてを新にしたまふ
Thou send forth thy Spirit, they are created, and thou renew the face of the ground.
31 願くはヱホバの榮光とこしへにあらんことを ヱホバそのみわざを喜びたまはんことを
Let the glory of Jehovah endure forever. Let Jehovah rejoice in his works,
32 ヱホバ地をみたまへば地ふるひ山にふれたまへば山は煙をいだす
who looks on the earth, and it trembles. He touches the mountains, and they smoke.
33 生るかぎりはヱホバに向ひてうたひ 我ながらふるほどはわが神をほめうたはん
I will sing to Jehovah as long as I live. I will sing praise to my God while I have any being.
34 ヱホバをおもふわが思念はたのしみ深からん われヱホバによりて喜ぶべし
Let thy meditation be sweet to him. I will rejoice in Jehovah.
35 罪人は地より絶滅され あしきものは復あらざるべし わが霊魂よヱホバをほめまつれヱホバを讃稱へよ
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless Jehovah, O my soul. Praise ye Jehovah.
