Psalms 81
1 For the music director. On the gittith. A psalm of Asaph. Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob.
われらの力なる神にむかひて高らかにうたひヤコブの神にむかひてよろこびの聲をあげよ
2 Start the song! Play the tambourine, sweet-sounding lyre, and harp.
歌をうたひ鼓とよき音のことと筝とをもちきたれ
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, and at full moon, to begin our festivals,
新月と滿月とわれらの節會の日とにラッパをふきならせ
4 for this is a rule for Israel, a regulation of the God of Jacob.
これイスラエルの律法ヤコブのかみの格なり
5 God made this statute for Joseph when he opposed the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I didn't know, saying:
神さきにエジプトを攻たまひしときヨセフのなかに之をたてて證となしたまへり 我かしこにて未だしらざりし方言をきけり
6 “I took the load from your shoulders; I freed your hands from carrying heavy baskets.
われかれの肩より重荷をのぞき かれの手を籃よりまぬかれしめたり
7 In your suffering you cried out to me, and I saved you. I answered you from the thundercloud. I tested you at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
汝なやめるとき呼しかば我なんぢをすくへり われ雷鳴のかくれたるところにて汝にこたへメリバの水のほとりにて汝をこころみたり (セラ)
8 My people, listen to my warnings! Israel, please listen to me!
わが民よきけ我なんぢに證せん イスラエルよ汝がわれに從はんことをもとむ
9 There must not be a strange god among you; you must never bow down to foreign gods and worship them.
汝のうちに他神あるべからず なんぢ他神ををがむべからず
10 I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide and I will fill it.
われはエジプトの國よりなんぢを携へいでたる汝の神ヱホバなり なんぢの口をひろくあけよ われ物をみたしめん
11 But my people didn't listen to me. Israel didn't want anything to do with me.
されどわが民はわか聲にしたがはず イスラエルは我をこのまず
12 So I sent them away to follow their stubborn thinking, living as they chose.
このゆゑに我かれらが心のかたくななるにまかせ彼等がその任意にゆくにまかせたり
13 If only my people would listen to me; if only Israel would follow my ways!
われはわが民のわれに從ひイスフルのわが道にあゆまんことを求む
14 It wouldn't take me long to conquer their enemies, to strike down their foes.
さらば我すみやかにかれらの仇をしたがへ わが手をかれらの敵にむけん
15 Those who hate the Lord would cringe before him, forever doomed.
斯てヱホバをにくみし者もかれらに從ひ かれらの時はとこしへにつづかん
16 But I would feed you the best wheat and satisfy you with honey from the rock.”
神はむぎの最嘉をもてかれらをやしなひ 磐よりいでたる蜜をもて汝をあかしむべし
