哀歌 3

ALEPH. I am a man watching my own poverty by the rod of his indignation.
2 かれは我をひきて黒暗をあゆませ光明にゆかしめたまはず
ALEPH. He has driven me and led me into darkness, and not into light.

ALEPH. Against me only, he has turned and turned again his hand, all day long.
4 わが肉と肌膚をおとろへしめ わが骨を摧き
BETH. My skin and my flesh, he has made old; he has crushed my bones.
5 われにむかひて患苦と艱難を築きこれをもて我を圍み
BETH. He has built all around me, and he has encircled me with gall and hardship.

BETH. He has gathered me into darkness, like those who are forever dead.
7 我をかこみて出ること能はざらしめわが鏈索を重くしたまへり
GHIMEL. He has built against me all around, so that I may not depart. He has increased the burden of my confinement.

GHIMEL. Yet even when I cry out and beg, he excludes my prayer.
9 斫たる石をもてわが道を塞ぎわが途をまげたまへり
GHIMEL. He has enclosed my ways with square stones; he has subverted my paths.
10 その我に對することは伏て伺がふ熊のごとく潜みかくるる獅子のごとし
DALETH. He has become to me like a bear lying in ambush, like a lion in hiding.
11 われに路を離れしめ 我をひきさきて獨くるしましめ
DALETH. He has subverted my paths, and he has broken me. He has placed me in desolation.
12 弓を張りてわれを矢先の的となし
DALETH. He has bent his bow, and he has positioned me like a target for his arrows.
13 矢筒の矢をもてわが腰を射ぬきたまへり
HE. He has shot into my kidneys the daughters of his quiver.
14 われはわがすべての民のあざけりとなり 終日うたひそしらる
HE. I have become a derision to all my people, their song throughout the day.
15 かれ我をして苦き物に飽しめ茵蔯を飮しめ
HE. He has filled me with bitterness; he has inebriated me with wormwood.
16 小石をもてわが齒を摧き灰をもて我を蒙ひたまへり
VAU. And he has broken each one of my teeth; he has fed me with ashes.
17 なんぢわが靈魂をして平和を遠くはなれしめたまへば我は福祉をわすれたり
VAU. And my soul has been driven away from peace; I have forgotten what is good.
18 是において我みづから言り わが氣力うせゆきぬ ヱホバより何を望むべきところ無しと
VAU. And I said, “My end and my hope from the Lord has perished.”
19 ねがはくは我が艱難と苦楚茵蔯と膽汁とを心に記たまへ
ZAIN. Remember my poverty and my transgression, the wormwood and the gall.
20 わがたましひは今なほ是らの事を想ひてわが衷に鬱ぐ
ZAIN. I will call to mind the past, and my soul shall languish within me.
21 われこの事を心におもひ起せり この故に望をいだくなり
ZAIN. These recollections are in my heart; therefore, I shall hope.
22 われらの尚ほろびざるはヱホバの仁愛によりその憐憫の盡ざるに因る
HETH. By the mercies of the Lord, we are not consumed. For his compassion has not passed away.
23 これは朝ごとに新なり なんぢの誠實はおほいなるかな
HETH. I know it at first light; great is your faithfulness.
24 わが靈魂は言ふ ヱホバはわが分なり このゆゑに我彼を待ち望まん
HETH. “The Lord is my portion,” said my soul. Because of this, I will wait for him.
25 ヱホバはおのれを待ち望む者とおのれを尋ねもとむる人に恩惠をほどこしたまふ

28 ヱホバこれを負せたまふなれば獨坐して黙すべし
JOD. He shall sit solitary and silent. For he has lifted it upon himself.
29 口を塵につけよ あるひは望あらん
JOD. He shall place his mouth in the dirt, if perhaps there may be hope.
30 おのれを撃つ者に頬をむけ 充足れるまでに恥辱をうけよ
JOD. He shall give his cheek to those who strike him; he shall be saturated with reproaches.
31 そは主は永久に棄ることを爲したまはざるべければなり
CAPH. For the Lord will not rebuke forever.
32 かれは患難を與へ給ふといへどもその慈悲おほいなればまた憐憫を加へたまふなり
CAPH. For, if he has cast down, he will also have compassion, according to the multitude of his mercies.
33 心より世の人をなやましかつ苦しめ給ふにはあらざるなり
CAPH. For he has not humiliated from his heart, nor has he thrown aside the sons of men,
34 世のもろもろの俘囚人を脚の下にふみにじり
LAMED. as if to crush under his feet all the prisoners of the land,
35 至高者の面の前にて人の理を抂げ
LAMED. as if to turn aside the judgment of a man in the sight of the presence of the Most High,
36 人の詞訟を屈むることは主のよろこび給はざるところなり
LAMED. as if to pervert a man in his judgment: the Lord does not do this.
37 主の命じたまふにあらずば誰か事を述んにその事即ち成んや
MEM. Who is this, who said to do what the Lord did not command?
38 禍も福もともに至高者の口より出るにあらずや
MEM. Does not both misfortune and good proceed from the mouth of the Most High?
39 活る人なんぞ怨言べけんや 人おのれの罪の罰せらるるをつぶやくべけんや
