詩篇 22
1 聖歌隊の指揮者によってあけぼののめじかのしらべにあわせてうたわせたダビデの歌 わが神、わが神、なにゆえわたしを捨てられるのですか。なにゆえ遠く離れてわたしを助けず、わたしの嘆きの言葉を聞かれないのですか。
My God, my God, why have you abandoned/deserted me? Why do you stay so far from me, and why do you not hear/help me [RHQ]? Why do you not hear me when I am groaning?
2 わが神よ、わたしが昼よばわっても、あなたは答えられず、夜よばわっても平安を得ません。
My God, every day I call to you during the daytime and during the night, but you do not answer me, so I am not able to sleep.
3 しかしイスラエルのさんびの上に座しておられるあなたは聖なるおかたです。
But you are holy. You sit on your throne as king, and [we the people of] Israel praise you [PRS].
4 われらの先祖たちはあなたに信頼しました。彼らが信頼したので、あなたは彼らを助けられました。
Our ancestors trusted in you. [Because] they trusted in you, you rescued them.
5 彼らはあなたに呼ばわって救われ、あなたに信頼して恥をうけなかったのです。
When they cried out to you, you saved them. They trusted in you, and (they were not disappointed/you [saved them] as you said that you would).
6 しかし、わたしは虫であって、人ではない。人にそしられ、民に侮られる。
But [you have not rescued me] [People despise me and consider that I am not a man]; [they think that] I am [as worthless as] a worm! Everyone [HYP] scorns me and despises me.
7 すべてわたしを見る者は、わたしをあざ笑い、くちびるを突き出し、かしらを振り動かして言う、
Everyone who sees me [HYP] makes fun of me. They sneer at me and [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man]. They say,
8 「彼は主に身をゆだねた、主に彼を助けさせよ。主は彼を喜ばれるゆえ、主に彼を救わせよ」と。
“He trusts in Yahweh, so Yahweh should save him! [He says that] Yahweh is very pleased with him; if that is so, Yahweh should rescue him!”
9 しかし、あなたはわたしを生れさせ、母のふところにわたしを安らかに守られた方です。
[Why do] you [not] protect me [now as you did] when I was born? I was safe even when I was (nursing/drinking milk from my mother’s breasts).
10 わたしは生れた時から、あなたにゆだねられました。母の胎を出てからこのかた、あなたはわたしの神でいらせられました。
[It was as though] you adopted me right when I was born. You have (been my God/taken care of me) ever since I was born.
11 わたしを遠く離れないでください。悩みが近づき、助ける者がないのです。
So, (do not stay far from/stay close to) [LIT] me now because [enemies who will cause me much] trouble are near me, and there is no one [else] who can help me.
12 多くの雄牛はわたしを取り巻き、バシャンの強い雄牛はわたしを囲み、
[My enemies] surround me [like] a herd/group of wild bulls. [Fierce people, like those] strong bulls that graze [on the hills] in Bashan [area], encircle me.
13 かき裂き、ほえたけるししのように、わたしにむかって口を開く。
[They are like] roaring lions that are attacking the animals that they want to kill [MET] [and eat]; they rush toward me [to kill] me; they [are like lions that] have their mouths open, [ready to tear their victims to pieces] [MET].
14 わたしは水のように注ぎ出され、わたしの骨はことごとくはずれ、わたしの心臓は、ろうのように、胸のうちで溶けた。
I am completely exhausted [MET], and all my bones are out of their joints/places. I [no longer expect that God will save me]; [that expectation is gone completely], like wax that has melted away.
15 わたしの力は陶器の破片のようにかわき、わたしの舌はあごにつく。あなたはわたしを死のちりに伏させられる。
My strength is [all dried up] [MET] like a broken piece of a clay jar that has dried [in the sun]. [I am so thirsty that] my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth. O God, [I think that you are about to let] me die and become dirt!
16 まことに、犬はわたしをめぐり、悪を行う者の群れがわたしを囲んで、わたしの手と足を刺し貫いた。
My enemies [MET] surround me like a pack/group of wild dogs. A group of evil men has encircled me, [ready to attack me]. They have [already] smashed my hands and my feet.
17 わたしは自分の骨をことごとく数えることができる。彼らは目をとめて、わたしを見る。
[I am so weak and thin that] my bones can be seen and counted. My enemies stare at me and (gloat/are happy) about [what has happened to] me.
18 彼らは互にわたしの衣服を分け、わたしの着物をくじ引にする。
They looked at the clothes that I [was wearing] and gambled to determine which piece each of them would get.
19 しかし主よ、遠く離れないでください。わが力よ、速く来てわたしをお助けください。
O Yahweh, do not stay far away from me! You who are my [source of] strength, come quickly and help me!
20 わたしの魂をつるぎから、わたしのいのちを犬の力から助け出してください。
Rescue me from [those who want to kill me with] their swords. Save me from those who are [like wild/fierce] dogs [MET].
21 わたしをししの口から、苦しむわが魂を野牛の角から救い出してください。
Snatch me away from [my enemies who are] like lions whose jaws [are already open, ready to chew me up] Grab me away from [those men who are like] wild oxen [that attack other animals with] their horns [MET]!
22 わたしはあなたのみ名を兄弟たちに告げ、会衆の中であなたをほめたたえるでしょう。
[But you have saved me, so] I will declare to my fellow [Israelis] how great you [MTY] are. I will praise you among the group of your people gathered [to worship you].
23 主を恐れる者よ、主をほめたたえよ。ヤコブのもろもろのすえよ、主をあがめよ。イスラエルのもろもろのすえよ、主をおじおそれよ。
You people who have an awesome respect for Yahweh, praise him! All you who are descended from Jacob, honor Yahweh! All you Israeli people, revere him!
24 主が苦しむ者の苦しみをかろんじ、いとわれず、またこれにみ顔を隠すことなく、その叫ぶときに聞かれたからである。
He does not despise or ignore those who are suffering; he does not hide (his face/himself) from them. He has listened to them when they cried out to him for help.
25 大いなる会衆の中で、わたしのさんびはあなたから出るのです。わたしは主を恐れる者の前で、わたしの誓いを果します。
Yahweh, in the great gathering [of your people], I will praise you for what you have done. In the presence of those who revere you, I will offer [the sacrifices] that I promised.
26 貧しい者は食べて飽くことができ、主を尋ね求める者は主をほめたたえるでしょう。どうか、あなたがたの心がとこしえに生きるように。
The poor people [whom I have invited to the meal] will eat as much as they want. All who come worship Yahweh will praise him. I pray that [God will enable] you all to live a long and happy life!
27 地のはての者はみな思い出して、主に帰り、もろもろの国のやからはみな、み前に伏し拝むでしょう。
I pray that [people in all nations, even] in the remote areas, will think about Yahweh and turn to him, and that people from all the clans in the world will bow down before him.
28 国は主のものであって、主はもろもろの国民を統べ治められます。
Because Yahweh is the king! He rules all the nations.
29 地の誇り高ぶる者はみな主を拝み、ちりに下る者も、おのれを生きながらえさせえない者も、みなそのみ前にひざまずくでしょう。
I desire that all the rich people on the earth will bow before him. Some day they will die, but I want them to prostrate themselves on the ground in his presence [before they die].
30 子々孫々、主に仕え、人々は主のことをきたるべき代まで語り伝え、
People (in the future generations/who have not been born yet) will also serve Yahweh. Our descendants will be told about what Yahweh [has done].
31 主がなされたその救を後に生れる民にのべ伝えるでしょう。
People who are not yet born, [who will live in future years], will be told how Yahweh rescued his people. People will tell them, “Yahweh did it!”
