詩篇 79
1 アサフのうた ああ神よもろもろの異邦人はなんぢの嗣業の地ををかし なんぢの聖宮をけがしヱルサレムをこぼちて礫堆となし
“A psalm of Asaph.” O God! the nations have come into thine inheritance; They have polluted thy holy temple; They have made Jerusalem a heap of ruins!
2 なんぢの僕のしかばねをそらの鳥に與へて餌となし なんぢの聖徒の肉を地のけものにあたへ
They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be food for the birds of heaven, The flesh of thy holy ones to the wild beasts of the earth!
3 その血をヱルサレムのめぐりに水のごとく流したりされど之をはうむる人なし
Their blood have they shed like water around Jerusalem, And there was none to bury them!
4 われらは隣人にそしられ四周のひとびとに侮られ嘲けらるるものとなれり
We have become the reproach of our neighbors, —The scorn and derision of those around us.
5 ヱホバよ斯て幾何時をへたまふや 汝とこしへに怒たまふや なんぢのねたみは火のごとく燃るか
How long, O LORD! wilt thou be angry for ever? How long shall thy jealousy burn like fire?
6 願くはなんぢを識ざることくにびと聖名をよばざるもろもろの國のうへに烈怒をそそぎたまへ
Pour out thy wrath on the nations which acknowledge thee not. And on the kingdoms which call not upon thy name!
7 かれらはヤコブを呑その住處をあらしたればなり
For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his dwelling-place.
8 われらにむかひて先祖のよこしまなるわざを記念したまふなかれ願くはなんぢの憐憫をもて速かにわれらを迎へたまへ われらは貶されて甚だしく卑くなりたればなり
O remember not against us former iniquities; Let thy tender mercy speedily succor us,
9 われらのすくひの神よ名のえいくわうのために我儕をたすけ名のためにわれらを救ひわれらの罪をのぞきたまへ
For we are brought very low! Help us, O God of our salvation! for the honor of thy name; F or thy name's sake save us, and forgive our iniquities!
10 いかなれば異邦人はいふ かれらの神はいづくにありやと 願くはなんぢの僕等がながされし血の報をわれらの目前になして異邦人にしらしめたまへ
Why should the nations say, “Where is their God?” May the revenging of the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed, Be manifested among the nations before our eyes!
11 ねがはくは汝のみまへにとらはれびとの嘆息のとどかんことを なんぢの大なる能力により死にさだめられし者をまもりて存へしめたまへ
Let the cry of the prisoner come before thee! According to the greatness of thy power preserve those that are appointed to die!
12 主よわれらの隣人のなんぢをそしりたる謗を七倍ましてその懐にむくいかへしたまへ
And return sevenfold into our neighbors' bosoms The reproach with which they have reproached thee, O Lord!
13 然ばわれらなんぢの民なんぢの草苑のひつじは永遠になんぢに感謝しその頌辭を世々あらはさん
So shall we, thy people, and the flock of thy pasture, Give thanks to thee for ever. And show forth thy praise to all generations.
