詩篇 35
1 ヱホバよねがはくは我にあらそふ者とあらそひ我とたたかふものと戰ひたまへ
A psalm of David. Oppose my opponents, Lord; fight those who are fighting against me.
2 干と大盾とをとりてわが援にたちいでたまへ
Put your armor on, and pick up your shield. Get ready, come and help me.
3 戟をぬきいだしたまひて我におひせまるものの途をふさぎ且わが霊魂にわれはなんぢの救なりといひたまへ
Draw your spear and your javelin, confront those who are chasing me. Tell me, “I am your salvation!”
4 願くはわが霊魂をたづぬるものの恥をえていやしめられ 我をそこなはんと謀るものの退けられて惶てふためかんことを
Shame them! Humiliate those who are trying to kill me! Turn them back! Disgrace those who are planning to hurt me!
5 ねがはくはかれらが風のまへなる粃糠のごとくなりヱホバの使者におひやられんことを
Let them be like chaff blown by the wind; let the angel of the Lord drive them away.
6 願くはかれらの途をくらくし滑らかにしヱホバの使者にかれらを追ゆかしめたまはんことを
May their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord chasing them down.
7 かれらは故なく我をとらへんとて網をあなにふせ 故なくわが霊魂をそこなはんとて阱をうがちたればなり
For no reason they set a net to catch me; for no reason they dug a pit to trap me.
8 願くはかれらが思ひよらぬ間にほろびきたり己がふせたる網にとらへられ自らその滅におちいらんことを
Let disaster come on them suddenly; let the net they set catch them instead; let the pit they dug trap them instead.
9 然ときわが霊魂はヱホバによりてよろこび その救をもて樂しまん
Then I will be glad in the Lord; I will be happy in his salvation.
10 わがすべての骨はいはん ヱホバよ汝はくるしむものを之にまさりて力つよきものより並くるしむもの貧しきものを掠めうばふ者よりたすけいだし給ふ 誰かなんぢに比ふべき者あらんと
Every part of me will say, Who can compare to you, Lord? You rescue the weak from the strong; the poor and needy from robbers.
11 こころあしき證人おこりてわが知ざることを詰りとふ
Hostile witnesses stand up to testify against me, accusing me of crimes I don't know anything about.
12 かれらは惡をもてわが善にむくい我がたましひを依仗なきものとせり
They pay me back with evil instead of good. I feel like giving up.
13 然どわれかれらが病しときには麁服をつけ糧をたちてわが霊魂をくるしめたり わが祈はふところにかへれり
But when they were sick, I put on clothes of sackcloth in sympathy. I denied myself through fasting. May my prayer for them return to bless me too.
14 わがかれに作ることはわが友わが兄弟にことならず母の喪にありて痛哭がごとく哀しみうなたれたり
I was upset for them, as if they were my own friends or family; I bowed down in grief as if I was mourning my own mother.
15 然どかれらはわが倒れんとせしとき喜びつどひわが知ざりしとき匪類あつまりきたりて我をせめ われを裂てやめざりき
But when I was in trouble, they gathered around and laughed at me. Even strangers I don't know attacked me, constantly tearing me apart.
16 かれらは洒宴にて穢きことをのぶる嘲笑者のごとく我にむかひて歯をかみならせり
Like irreligious people mocking a cripple they mock me and call me names, gnashing their teeth at me.
17 主よいたづらに見るのみにして幾何時をへたまふや 願くはわがたましひの彼等にほろぼさるるを脱れしめ わが生命をわかき獅よりまぬかれしめたまへ
How long, Lord, will you sit by and just watch? Save me from their vicious attacks; defend the only life I have from these lions.
18 われ大なる會にありてなんぢに感謝し おほくの民のなかにて汝をほめたたへん
Then I will thank you in front of the whole congregation and praise you in front of all the people.
19 虚偽をもてわれに仇するもののわが故によろこぶことを容したまなかれ 故なくして我をにくむ者のたがひに眴せすることなからしめたまへ
Don't let my enemies take pleasure in my troubles, those people who hate me and tell lies about me, gloating over me for no reason.
20 かれらは平安をかたらず あざむきの言をつくりまうけて國内におだやかにすまふ者をそこなはんと謀る
They are not looking for peace; they invent malicious and deceptive schemes against innocent peace-loving people.
21 然のみならず我にむかひて口をあけひろげ ああ視よや視よやわれらの眼これをみたりといへり
They open their mouths wide to make accusations against me, saying, “Look! Look! We saw it with our own eyes!”
22 ヱホバよ汝すでにこれを視たまへり ねがはくは默したまふなかれ主よわれに遠ざかりたまふなかれ
But Lord, you've seen all this! Say something! Don't give up on me, Lord!
23 わが神よわが主よ おきたまへ醒たまへ ねがはくはわがために審判をなしわが訟ををさめたまへ
Wake up! Get up and defend me, my Lord and my God! Take up my case and make sure justice is done!
24 わが神ヱホバよなんぢの義にしたがひて我をさばきたまへ わが事によりてかれらに歓喜をえしめたまふなかれ
Vindicate me, my Lord and my God, because you are just and right. Don't let them gloat over me.
25 かれらにその心裡にて ああここちよきかな觀よこれわが願ひしところなりといはしめたまふなかれ 又われらかれを呑つくせりといはしめたまふなかれ
Don't let them say to themselves, “Look! We got what we wanted!” Don't let them say, “We completely destroyed him!”
26 願くはわが害なはるるを喜ぶもの皆はぢて惶てふためき 我にむかひてはこりかに高ぶるものの愧とはづかしめとを衣んことを
Make them totally ashamed, all those who are happy for the trouble I'm in. Let those who are celebrating over me be covered with shame and dishonor.
27 わが義をよみする者をばよろこび謳はしめ大なるかなヱホバその僕のさいはひを悦びたまふと恒にいはしめたまへ
Instead let those who are pleased I've been vindicated celebrate and shout for joy. Let them always say, “How great is the Lord! He is happy when his servants live in peace and have what they need.”
28 わが舌は終日なんぢの義となんぢの譽とをかたらん
I will tell others about your character of truth and right, praising you all day long!
