詩篇 48

1 ヱホバは大なり われらの神の都そのきよき山のうへにて甚くほめたたへられたまふべし

A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, His holy mountain.

2 シオンの山はきたの端たかくしてうるはしく喜悦を地にあまねくあたふ ここは大なる王のみやこなり

Beautiful in loftiness, the joy of all the earth, like the peaks of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the great King.

3 そのもろもろの殿のうちに神はおのれをたかき櫓としてあらはしたまへり

God is in her citadels; He has shown Himself to be a fortress.

4 みよ王等はつどひあつまりて偕にすぎゆきぬ

For behold, the kings assembled; they all advanced together.

5 かれらは都をみてあやしみ且おそれて忽ちのがれされり

They saw and were astounded; they fled in terror.

6 戰慄はかれらにのぞみ その苦痛は子をうまんとする婦のごとし

Trembling seized them there, anguish like a woman in labor.

7 なんぢは東風をおこしてタルシシの舟をやぶりたまふ

With a wind from the east You wrecked the ships of Tarshish.

8 曩にわれらが聞しごとく今われらは萬軍のヱホバの都われらの神のみやこにて之をみることをえたり 神はこの都をとこしへまで固くしたまはん (セラ)

As we have heard, so we have seen in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish her forever.

9 神よ我らはなんぢの宮のうちにて仁慈をおもへり

Within Your temple, O God, we contemplate Your loving devotion.

10 神よなんぢの譽はその名のごとく地の極にまでおよべり なんぢの右手はただしきにて充り

Your name, O God, like Your praise, reaches to the ends of the earth; Your right hand is full of righteousness.

11 なんぢのもろもろの審判によりてシオンの山はよろこびユダの女輩はたのしむべし

Mount Zion is glad, the daughters of Judah rejoice, on account of Your judgments.

12 シオンの周圍をありき徧くめぐりてその櫓をかぞへよ

March around Zion, encircle her, count her towers,

13 その石垣に目をとめよ そのもろもろの殿をみよ なんぢらこれを後代にかたりつたへんが爲なり

consider her ramparts, tour her citadels, that you may tell the next generation.

14 そはこの神はいや遠長にわれらの神にましましてわれらを死るまでみちびきたまはん

For this God is our God forever and ever; He will be our guide even till death.
