詩篇 53

1 愚かなるものは心のうちに神なしといへり かれらは腐れたりかれらは憎むべき不義をおこなへり善をおこなふ者なし

To the Chief Musician. On Mahalath. A Psalm of Instruction, of David. The impious hath said in his heart, There is no God! They have acted corruptly, They have wrought abominable perversity, There is none that doeth good: —

2 神は天より人の子をのぞみて悟るものと神をたづぬる者とありやなしやを見たまひしに

God, out of the heavens, looked down upon the sons of men, —To see whether there was one that showed wisdom, Enquiring after God.

3 みな退ぞきてことごとく汚れたり善をなすものなし一人だになし

They all, have turned back, together have they become tainted, —There is none that doeth good, Not so much as, one!

4 不義をおこなふものは知覺なきか かれらは物くふごとくわが民をくらひ また神をよばふことをせざるなり

Are the workers of iniquity, without knowledge? Devouring my people, [as] they devour food? Upon God, have they not called.

5 かれらは懼るべきことのなきときに大におそれたり 神はなんぢにむかひて營をつらぬるものの骨をちらしたまへばなり 神かれらを棄たまひしによりて汝かれらを辱かしめたり

There have they been in great dread where no dread was, Because, God, hath scattered the bones of thy besieger, —Thou hast put [him] to shame, Because, God, had, rejected, them.

6 願くはシオンよりイスラエルの救のいでんことを 神その民のとらはれたるを返したまふときヤコブはよろこびイスラエルは樂まん

Oh that, out of Zion, were granted the salvations of Israel! When God bringeth back the captives of his people, Jacob, shall exult, Israel, shall be glad.
