Psalms 73
1 A Psalm of Asaph. Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.
神はイスラエルにむかひ心のきよきものに對ひてまことに惠あり
2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had almost slipped.
然はあれどわれはわが足つまづくばかりわが歩すべるばかりにてありき
3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
こはわれ惡きものの榮ゆるを見てその誇れる者をねたみしによる
4 For there are no pangs in their death: but their strength is firm.
かれらは死るに苦しみなくそのちからは反てかたし
5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they afflicted like other men.
かれらは人のごとく憂にをらず人のごとく患難にあふことなし
6 Therefore pride surroundeth them as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
このゆゑに傲慢は妝飾のごとくその頸をめぐり強暴はころものごとく彼等をおほへり
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
かれら肥ふとりてその目とびいで心の欲にまさりて物をうるなり
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
また嘲笑をなし惡をもて暴虐のことばをいだし高ぶりてものいふ
9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
その口を天におきその舌を地にあまねく往しむ
10 Therefore his people return here: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
このゆゑにかれの民はここにかへり水のみちたる杯をしぼりいだして
11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
いへらく神いかで知たまはんや至上者に知識あらんやと
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
視よかれらは惡きものなるに常にやすらかにしてその富ましくははれり
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
誠に我はいたづらに心をきよめ罪ををかさずして手をあらひたり
14 For all the day long have I been afflicted, and chastened every morning.
そはわれ終日なやみにあひ朝ごとに責をうけしなり
15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.
われもし斯ることを述んといひしならば我なんぢが子輩の代をあやまらせしならん
16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;
われこれらの道理をしらんとして思ひめぐらししにわが眼いたく痛たり
17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then I understood their end.
われ神の聖所にゆきてかれらの結局をふかく思へるまでは然りき
18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou didst cast them down into destruction.
誠になんぢはかれらを滑かなるところにおきかれらを滅亡におとしいれ給ふ
19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.
かれらは瞬間にやぶれたるかな彼等は恐怖をもてことごとく滅びたり
20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.
主よなんぢ目をさましてかれらが像をかろしめたまはんときは夢みし人の目さめたるがごとし
21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.
わが心はうれへ わが腎はさされたり
22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.
われおろかにして知覺なし聖前にありて獣にひとしかりき
23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast held me by my right hand.
されど我つねになんぢとともにあり汝わが右手をたもちたまへり
24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
なんぢその訓諭をもて我をみちびき後またわれをうけて榮光のうちに入たまはん
25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
汝のほかに我たれをか天にもたん地にはなんぢの他にわが慕ふものなし
26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
わが身とわが心とはおとろふ されど神はわがこころの磐わがとこしへの嗣業なり
27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go astray from thee.
視よなんぢに遠きものは滅びん 汝をはなれて姦淫をおこなふ者はみななんぢ之をほろぼしたまひたり
28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.
神にちかづき奉るは我によきことなり われは主ヱホバを避所としてそのもろもろの事跡をのべつたへん
