詩篇 19
1 もろもろの天は神のえいくわうをあらはし 穹蒼はその手のわざをしめす
[For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2 この日ことばをかの日につたへこのよ知識をかの夜におくる
Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3 語らずいはずその聲きこえざるに
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
4 そのひびきは全地にあまねく そのことばは地のはてにまでおよぶ 神はかしこに帷幄を日のためにまうけたまへり
Their voice has gone out to all the earth, their words to the farthest part of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 日は新婿がいはひの殿をいづるごとく勇士がきそひはしるをよろこぶに似たり
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6 そのいでたつや天の涯よりし その運りゆくや天のはてにいたる 物としてその和喣をかうぶらざるはなし
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends; There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 ヱホバの法はまたくして霊魂をいきかへらしめ ヱホバの證詞はかたくして愚なるものを智からしむ
The LORD's Law is perfect, restoring the soul. The LORD's testimony is sure, making wise the simple.
8 ヱホバの訓諭はなほくして心をよろこばしめ ヱホバの誡命はきよくして眼をあきらかならしむ
The LORD's precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. The LORD's commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 ヱホバを惶みおそるる道はきよくして世々にたゆることなく ヱホバのさばきは眞實にしてことごとく正し
The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever. The LORD's ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10 これを黄金にくらぶるもおほくの純精金にくらぶるも 彌増りてしたふべく これを蜜にくらぶるも蜂のすの滴瀝にくらぶるもいやまさりて甘し
More to be desired are they than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11 なんぢの僕はこれらによりて儆戒をうく これらをまもらば大なる報賞あらん
Moreover by them is your servant warned. In keeping them there is great reward.
12 たれかおのれの過失をしりえんや ねがはくは我をかくれたる愆より解放ちたまへ
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
13 願くはなんぢの僕をひきとめて故意なる罪ををかさしめず それをわが主たらしめ給ふなかれ さればわれ玷なきものとなりて大なる愆をまぬかるるをえん
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
14 ヱホバわが磐わが贖主よ わがくちの言わがこころの思念なんぢのまへに悦ばるることを得しめたまへ
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight always, LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
