詩篇 84
1 聖歌隊の指揮者によってギテトのしらべにあわせてうたわせたコラの子の歌 万軍の主よ、あなたのすまいはいかに麗しいことでしょう。
Lord, you who are the Commander of the armies of angels, your temple is very beautiful!
2 わが魂は絶えいるばかりに主の大庭を慕い、わが心とわが身は生ける神にむかって喜び歌います。
I [SYN] would like to be there; Yahweh, I desire that very much [DOU]. With all of my inner being I sing joyfully to you, the all-powerful God.
3 すずめがすみかを得、つばめがそのひなをいれる巣を得るように、万軍の主、わが王、わが神よ、あなたの祭壇のかたわらにわがすまいを得させてください。
Even sparrows and swallows have built nests [near your temple, where you protect them] [DOU]; they take care of their young babies near the altars [where people offer sacrifices to] you, who are the commander of the armies of heaven, and my king and my God.
4 あなたの家に住み、常にあなたをほめたたえる人はさいわいです。 (セラ)
(Happy are/You are pleased with) those who (live/continually worship) in your temple, constantly singing to praise you.
5 その力があなたにあり、その心がシオンの大路にある人はさいわいです。
Happy are those who [know that] you are the one who causes them to be strong, those who strongly desire to (make the trip/go) to Zion [Hill].
6 彼らはバカの谷を通っても、そこを泉のある所とします。また前の雨は池をもってそこをおおいます。
While they travel through the [dry] Baca Valley, [you cause] it to become a place where there are springs of water, where the rains (in the autumn/before the cold season) fill the valley with pools of water.
7 彼らは力から力に進み、シオンにおいて神々の神にまみえるでしょう。
[As a result, those who travel through there] become stronger/refreshed [knowing that] they will appear in your presence (on Zion [Hill]/in Jerusalem).
8 万軍の神、主よ、わが祈をおききください。ヤコブの神よ、耳を傾けてください。 (セラ)
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, listen to my prayer; God, who [is worshiped by us (descendants of] Jacob/Israeli people), hear [IDM] what I am saying!
9 神よ、われらの盾をみそなわし、あなたの油そそがれた者の顔をかえりみてください。
God, be kind to [IDM] our king, the one who protects us [MTY], the one whom you have chosen [MTY] [to rule us].
10 あなたの大庭にいる一日は、よそにいる千日にもまさるのです。わたしは悪の天幕にいるよりは、むしろ、わが神の家の門守となることを願います。
[For me], spending one day in your temple is better than spending 1,000 days somewhere else; [standing] at the entrance to your temple, [ready to go inside], is better than living in the tents/homes where wicked [people live].
11 主なる神は日です、盾です。主は恵みと誉とを与え、直く歩む者に良い物を拒まれることはありません。
Yahweh our God is [like] the sun [that shines on us] and [like] a shield [that protects us] [MET]; he is kind to [us] and honors [us]. Yahweh does not refuse to give any good thing/blessing to those who do what is right.
12 万軍の主よ、あなたに信頼する人はさいわいです。
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, (happy are/you are pleased with) those who trust in you!
