詩篇 15

1 ダビデの歌 主よ、あなたの幕屋にやどるべき者はだれですか、あなたの聖なる山に住むべき者はだれですか。

Yahweh, who are allowed to enter your Sacred Tent? Who are allowed to live on your sacred mountain?

2 直く歩み、義を行い、心から真実を語る者、

Only those who always do what is right and do not sin may do that. They always say what is true

3 その舌をもってそしらず、その友に悪をなさず、隣り人に対するそしりを取りあげず、

and they do not slander others. They do not do to others things that are wrong, and they do not say bad things about others.

4 その目は神に捨てられた者を卑しめ、主を恐れる者を尊び、誓った事は自分の損害になっても変えることなく、

[Godly people] hate those whom God has rejected, but they respect those who revere Yahweh. They do what they have promised to do even if it causes them trouble to do that.

5 利息をとって金銭を貸すことなく、まいないを取って罪のない者の不利をはかることをしない人である。これらの事を行う者はとこしえに動かされることはない。

They lend money to others without charging interest, and they never accept bribes in order to lie about people who have not done what is wrong. Those who do those things will never stop trusting God [even if disastrous things happen to them].
