詩篇 55
1 聖歌隊の指揮者によって琴をもってうたわせたダビデのマスキールの歌 神よ、わたしの祈に耳を傾けてください。わたしの願いを避けて身を隠さないでください。
[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.] Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my petition.
2 わたしにみこころをとめ、わたしに答えてください。わたしは悩みによって弱りはて、
Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
3 敵の声と、悪しき者のしえたげとによって気が狂いそうです。彼らはわたしに悩みを臨ませ、怒ってわたしを苦しめるからです。
Because of the voice of the enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked. For they bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
4 わたしの心はわがうちにもだえ苦しみ、死の恐れがわたしの上に落ちました。
My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 恐れとおののきがわたしに臨み、はなはだしい恐れがわたしをおおいました。
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
6 わたしは言います、「どうか、はとのように翼をもちたいものだ。そうすればわたしは飛び去って安きを得るであろう。
I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 わたしは遠くのがれ去って、野に宿ろう。 (セラ)
Look, then I would wander far off. I would lodge in the wilderness." (Selah)
8 わたしは急ぎ避難して、はやてとあらしをのがれよう」と。
"I would hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm."
9 主よ、彼らのはかりごとを打ち破ってください。彼らの舌を混乱させてください。わたしは町のうちに暴力と争いとを見るからです。
Confuse them, LORD, and confound their language, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 彼らは昼も夜も町の城壁の上を歩きめぐり、町のうちには害悪と悩みとがあります。
Day and night they prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
11 また滅ぼす事が町のうちにあり、しえたげと欺きとはその市場を離れることがありません。
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart from her streets.
12 わたしをののしる者は敵ではありません。もしそうであるならば忍ぶことができます。わたしにむかって高ぶる者はあだではありません。もしそうであるならば身を隠して彼を避けることができます。
For it was not an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
13 しかしそれはあなたです、わたしと同じ者、わたしの同僚、わたしの親しい友です。
But it was you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
14 われらはたがいに楽しく語らい、つれだって神の宮に上りました。
We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with company.
Let death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 しかしわたしが神に呼ばわれば、主はわたしを救われます。
As for me, I will call on God. The LORD will save me.
17 夕べに、あしたに、真昼にわたしが嘆きうめけば、主はわたしの声を聞かれます。
Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
18 たといわたしを攻める者が多くとも、主はわたしがたたかう戦いからわたしを安らかに救い出されます。
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose me.
19 昔からみくらに座しておられる神は聞いて彼らを悩まされるでしょう。[セラ彼らはおきてを守らず、神を恐れないからです。
God, who is enthroned forever, will hear, and humble them. (Selah) They never change, who do not fear God.
20 わたしの友はその親しき者に手を伸ばして、その契約を破った。
He has stretched out his hand against those who were at peace with him. He has violated his covenant.
21 その口は牛酪よりもなめらかだが、その心には戦いがある。その言葉は油よりもやわらかだが、それは抜いたつるぎである。
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
22 あなたの荷を主にゆだねよ。主はあなたをささえられる。主は正しい人の動かされるのを決してゆるされない。
Throw your burden upon the LORD, and he will take care of you. He will never allow the righteous to be upended.
23 しかし主よ、あなたは彼らを滅びの穴に投げ入れられます。血を流す者と欺く者とはおのが日の半ばも生きながらえることはできません。しかしわたしはあなたに寄り頼みます。
But you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
