詩篇 105
1 主に感謝し、そのみ名を呼び、そのみわざをもろもろの民のなかに知らせよ。
O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
2 主にむかって歌え、主をほめうたえ、そのすべてのくすしきみわざを語れ。
Let your voice be sounding in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
3 その聖なるみ名を誇れ。主を尋ね求める者の心を喜ばせよ。
Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
4 主とそのみ力とを求めよ、つねにそのみ顔を尋ねよ。
Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
6 そのしもべアブラハムの子孫よ、その選ばれた者であるヤコブの子らよ、主のなされたくすしきみわざと、その奇跡と、そのみ口のさばきとを心にとめよ。
O you seed of Abraham, his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
7 彼はわれらの神、主でいらせられる。そのさばきは全地にある。
He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
8 主はとこしえに、その契約をみこころにとめられる。これはよろず代に命じられたみ言葉であって、
He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
9 アブラハムと結ばれた契約、イサクに誓われた約束である。
The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
10 主はこれを堅く立てて、ヤコブのために定めとし、イスラエルのために、とこしえの契約として
And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
11 言われた、「わたしはあなたにカナンの地を与えて、あなたがたの受ける嗣業の分け前とする」と。
Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
12 このとき彼らの数は少なくて、数えるに足らず、その所で旅びととなり、
When they were still small in number, and strange in the land;
13 この国からかの国へ行き、この国から他の民へ行った。
When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people.
14 主は人の彼らをしえたげるのをゆるさず、彼らのために王たちを懲しめて、
He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
15 言われた、「わが油そそがれた者たちにさわってはならない、わが預言者たちに害を加えてはならない」と。
Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
16 主はききんを地に招き、人のつえとするパンをことごとく砕かれた。
And he took away all food from the land, so that the people were without bread.
17 また彼らの前にひとりをつかわされた。すなわち売られて奴隷となったヨセフである。
He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was given as a servant for a price:
18 彼の足は足かせをもって痛められ、彼の首は鉄の首輪にはめられ、
His feet were fixed in chains; his neck was put in iron bands;
19 彼の言葉の成る時まで、主のみ言葉が彼を試みた。
Till the time when his word came true; he was tested by the word of the Lord.
20 王は人をつかわして彼を解き放ち、民のつかさは彼に自由を与えた。
The king sent men to take off his chains; even the ruler of the people, who let him go free.
21 王はその家のつかさとしてその所有をことごとくつかさどらせ、
He made him lord of his house, and ruler over everything he had;
22 その心のままに君たちを教えさせ、長老たちに知恵を授けさせた。
To give his chiefs teaching at his pleasure, and so that his law-givers might get wisdom from him.
23 その時イスラエルはエジプトにきたり、ヤコブはハムの地に寄留した。
Then Israel came into Egypt, and Jacob was living in the land of Ham.
24 主はその民を大いに増し加え、これをそのあだよりも強くされた。
And his people were greatly increased, and became stronger than those who were against them.
25 主は人々の心をかえて、その民を憎ませ、そのしもべたちを悪賢く扱わせられた。
Their hearts were turned to hate against his people, so that they made secret designs against them.
26 主はそのしもべモーセと、そのお選びになったアロンとをつかわされた。
He sent Moses, his servant, and Aaron, the man of his selection.
27 彼らはハムの地で主のしるしと、奇跡とを彼らのうちにおこなった。
He let his signs be seen among the people, and his wonders in the land of Ham.
28 主は暗やみをつかわして地を暗くされた。しかし彼らはそのみ言葉に従わなかった。
He sent black night and made it dark; and they did not go against his word.
29 主は彼らの水を血に変らせて、その魚を殺された。
At his word their waters were turned to blood, and he sent death on all their fish.
30 彼らの国には、かえるが群がり、王の寝間にまではいった。
Their land was full of frogs, even in the rooms of the king.
31 主が言われると、はえの群れがきたり、ぶよが国じゅうにあった。
He gave the word, and there came the dog-fly, and insects over all the land.
32 主は雨にかえて、ひょうを彼らに与え、きらめくいなずまを彼らの国に放たれた。
He gave them ice for rain, and flaming fire in their land.
33 主は彼らのぶどうの木と、いちじくの木とを撃ち、彼らの国のもろもろの木を折り砕かれた。
He gave their vines and their fig-trees to destruction, and the trees of their land were broken down.
34 主が言われると、いなごがきたり、無数の若いいなごが来て、
At his word the locusts came, and young locusts more than might be numbered,
35 彼らの国のすべての青物を食いつくし、その地の実を食いつくした。
And put an end to all the plants of their land, taking all the fruit of the earth for food.
36 主は彼らの国のすべてのういごを撃ち、彼らのすべての力の初めを撃たれた。
He put to death the first child of every family in the land, the first-fruits of their strength.
37 そして金銀を携えてイスラエルを出て行かせられた。その部族のうちに、ひとりの倒れる者もなかった。
He took his people out with silver and gold: there was not one feeble person among them.
38 エジプトは彼らの去るのを喜んだ。彼らに対する恐れが彼らに臨んだからである。
Egypt was glad when they went; for the fear of them had come down on them.
39 主は雲をひろげておおいとし、夜は火をもって照された。
A cloud was stretched over them for a cover; and he sent fire to give light in the night.
40 また彼らの求めによって、うずらを飛びきたらせ、天から、かてを豊かに彼らに与えられた。
At the people's request he sent birds, and gave them the bread of heaven for food.
41 主が岩を開かれると、水がほとばしり出て、かわいた地に川のように流れた。
His hand made the rock open, and the waters came streaming out; they went down through the dry places like a river.
42 これは主がその聖なる約束と、そのしもべアブラハムを覚えられたからである。
For he kept in mind his holy word, and Abraham, his servant.
43 こうして主はその民を導いて喜びつつ出て行かせ、その選ばれた民を導いて歌いつつ出て行かせられた。
And he took his people out with joy, the men of his selection with glad cries:
44 主はもろもろの国びとの地を彼らに与えられたので、彼らはもろもろの民の勤労の実を自分のものとした。
And gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the work of the peoples for a heritage;
45 これは彼らが主の定めを守り、そのおきてを行うためである。主をほめたたえよ。
So that they might keep his orders, and be true to his laws. Give praise to the Lord.
