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 of Asaph. O God, the heathen have come into thy inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps.
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
The dead bodies of thy servants have they given [to be] food to the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints, to 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
Their blood have they shed like water around 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 have become a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision to them that are around 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, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like 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 heathen 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
For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling-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
O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily succor us: for we are brought very low.
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 of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away 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
Why should the heathen say, Where [is] their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight [by] avenging the blood of thy servants [which is] 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 prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die;
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 neighbors seven-fold into their bosom their reproach, with which 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
So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will show forth thy praise to all generations.
