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
For the chief musician; set to the Gittith style. A psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout out for joy 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
Sing a song and play the tambourine, the pleasant lyre with the harp.
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 on the day of the new moon, on the day of the full moon, when our feast day begins.
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, a decree given by 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 issued it as a regulation in Joseph when he went against the land of Egypt, where I heard a voice that I did not recognize:
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 the burden from his shoulder; his hands were freed from holding 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)
In your distress you called out, and I helped you; I answered you from a dark thundercloud. I tested you 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
Listen, my people, for I will warn you, Israel, if you would only listen 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 must be no foreign god among you; you must not 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 Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your 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 did not listen to my words; Israel did not obey 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 gave them over to their own stubborn way so that they might do what seemed right to them.
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
Oh, that my people would listen to me; oh, that my people would walk in my paths.
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
Then I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn my hand against their oppressors.
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
May those who hate Yahweh cringe in fear before him! May they be humiliated 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
I would feed Israel with the finest wheat; I would satisfy you with honey out of the rock.”
