詩篇 79
1 ああ神よもろもろの異邦人はなんぢの嗣業の地ををかし なんぢの聖宮をけがしヱルサレムをこぼちて礫堆となし
A psalm for Asaph. O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.
2 なんぢの僕のしかばねをそらの鳥に與へて餌となし なんぢの聖徒の肉を地のけものにあたへ
They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth.
3 その血をヱルサレムのめぐりに水のごとく流したりされど之をはうむる人なし
They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem and there was none to bury them.
4 われらは隣人にそしられ四周のひとびとに侮られ嘲けらるるものとなれり
We are become a reproach to our neighbours: a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 ヱホバよ斯て幾何時をへたまふや 汝とこしへに怒たまふや なんぢのねたみは火のごとく燃るか
How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?
6 願くはなんぢを識ざることくにびと聖名をよばざるもろもろの國のうへに烈怒をそそぎたまへ
Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7 かれらはヤコブを呑その住處をあらしたればなり
Because they have devoured Jacob; and have laid waste his place.
8 われらにむかひて先祖のよこしまなるわざを記念したまふなかれ願くはなんぢの憐憫をもて速かにわれらを迎へたまへ われらは貶されて甚だしく卑くなりたればなり
Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, for we are become exceeding poor.
9 われらのすくひの神よ名のえいくわうのために我儕をたすけ名のためにわれらを救ひ われらの罪をのぞきたまへ
Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:
10 いかなれば異邦人はいふ かれらの神はいづくにありやと 願くはなんぢの僕等がながされし血の報をわれらの目前になして異邦人にしらしめたまへ
Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes, By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed:
11 ねがはくは汝のみまへにとらはれびとの嘆息のとどかんことを なんぢの大なる能力により死にさだめられし者をまもりて存へしめたまへ
Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee. According to the greatness of thy arm, take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.
12 主よわれらの隣人のなんぢをそしりたる謗を七倍ましてその懐にむくいかへしたまへ
And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
13 然ばわれらなんぢの民なんぢの草苑のひつじは永遠になんぢに感謝しその頌辭を世々あらはさん
But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, will give thanks to thee for ever. We will shew forth thy praise, unto generation and generation.
