詩篇 81
1 われらの力なる神にむかひて高らかにうたひヤコブの神にむかひてよろこびの聲をあげよ
Sing aloud to God our strength. Make a joyful noise to the God of Jacob.
2 歌をうたひ鼓とよき音のことと筝とをもちきたれ
Raise a song, and bring here the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
3 新月と滿月とわれらの節會の日とにラッパをふきならせ
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast-day.
4 これイスラエルの律法ヤコブのかみの格なり
For it is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob.
5 神さきにエジプトを攻たまひしときヨセフのなかに之をたてて證となしたまへり 我かしこにて未だしらざりし方言をきけり
He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony when he went out over the land of Egypt, where I heard a language that I knew not.
6 われかれの肩より重荷をのぞき かれの手を籃よりまぬかれしめたり
I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the basket.
7 汝なやめるとき呼しかば我なんぢをすくへり われ雷鳴のかくれたるところにて汝にこたへメリバの水のほとりにて汝をこころみたり (セラ)
Thou called in trouble, and I delivered thee. I answered thee in the secret place of thunder. I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 わが民よきけ我なんぢに證せん イスラエルよ汝がわれに從はんことをもとむ
Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee, O Israel, if thou would hearken to me!
9 汝のうちに他神あるべからず なんぢ他神ををがむべからず
There shall no strange god be in thee, nor shall thou worship any foreign god.
10 われはエジプトの國よりなんぢを携へいでたる汝の神ヱホバなり なんぢの口をひろくあけよ われ物をみたしめん
I am Jehovah thy God who brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 されどわが民はわか聲にしたがはず イスラエルは我をこのまず
But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
12 このゆゑに我かれらが心のかたくななるにまかせ彼等がその任意にゆくにまかせたり
So I let them go after the stubbornness of their heart, that they might walk in their own counsels.
13 われはわが民のわれに從ひイスフルのわが道にあゆまんことを求む
O that my people would hearken to me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
14 さらば我すみやかにかれらの仇をしたがへ わが手をかれらの敵にむけん
I would soon subdue their enemies, and turn my hand against their adversaries.
15 斯てヱホバをにくみし者もかれらに從ひ かれらの時はとこしへにつづかん
(The haters of Jehovah feign obedience to him, but their time is forever.)
16 神はむぎの最嘉をもてかれらをやしなひ 磐よりいでたる蜜をもて汝をあかしむべし
He would feed them also with the finest of the wheat. And I would satisfy thee with honey out of the rock.
