詩篇 79
1 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, nations have come into Thy inheritance, They have defiled Thy holy temple, They made Jerusalem become heaps,
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 gave the dead bodies of Thy servants Food for the fowls of the heavens, The flesh of Thy saints For the wild beast 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
They have shed their blood As water round about Jerusalem, And there is none burying.
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 been a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a derision to our surrounders.
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
Till when, O Jehovah? art Thou angry for ever? Thy jealousy doth burn as 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 Thy fury on the nations who have not known Thee, And on kingdoms that have not called in 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 [one] hath devoured Jacob, And his habitation they have made desolate.
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
Remember not for us the iniquities of forefathers, Haste, let Thy mercies go before us, For we have been very weak.
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
Help us, O God of our salvation, Because of the honour of Thy name, And deliver us, and cover over our sins, For Thy name's sake.
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 do the nations say, 'Where [is] their God?' Let be known among the nations before our eyes, The vengeance of the blood of Thy servants that is shed.
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 groaning of the prisoner come in before Thee, According to the greatness of Thine arm, Leave Thou the sons of death.
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 turn Thou back to our neighbours, Sevenfold unto their bosom, their reproach, Wherewith they 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
And we, Thy people, and the flock of Thy pasture, We give thanks to Thee to the age, To all generations we recount Thy praise!
