< 詩篇 78 >

1 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
A Psalme to give instruction committed to Asaph. Heare my doctrine, O my people: incline your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth.
2 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
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will declare high sentences of olde.
3 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
Which we haue heard and knowen, and our fathers haue tolde vs.
4 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
Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, and his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:
5 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
How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:
6 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
That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:
7 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
That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:
8 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
And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.
9 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
The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.
10 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
They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,
11 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
And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
12 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
Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the fielde of Zoan.
13 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
He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.
14 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
In the day time also hee led them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.
15 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
He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.
16 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
He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.
17 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
Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,
18 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
And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.
19 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
They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
20 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
Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
21 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
Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,
22 こはかれら神を信ぜずその救にたのまざりし故なり
Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
23 されどなほ神はうへなる雲に命じて天の戸をひらき
Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,
24 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 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 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 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
Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.
28 その營のなかその住所のまはりに落したまへり

29 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 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
They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,
31 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
When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.
32 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
For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.
33 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
Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.
34 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 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 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
But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.
37 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
For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.
38 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
Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
39 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
For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.
40 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
How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?
41 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
Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.
42 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

44 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
