詩篇 80
1 聖歌隊の指揮者によってゆりの花のしらべにあわせてうたわせたアサフのあかしの歌 イスラエルの牧者よ、羊の群れのようにヨセフを導かれる者よ、耳を傾けてください。ケルビムの上に座せられる者よ、光を放ってください。
[Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
2 エフライム、ベニヤミン、マナセの前にあなたの力を振り起し、来て、われらをお救いください。
Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
3 神よ、われらをもとに返し、み顔の光を照してください。そうすればわれらは救をえるでしょう。
God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
4 万軍の神、主よ、いつまで、その民の祈にむかってお怒りになるのですか。
Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
5 あなたは涙のパンを彼らに食わせ、多くの涙を彼らに飲ませられました。
[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6 あなたはわれらを隣り人のあざけりとし、われらの敵はたがいにあざわらいました。
You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
7 万軍の神よ、われらをもとに返し、われらの救われるため、み顔の光を照してください。
God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
8 あなたは、ぶどうの木をエジプトから携え出し、もろもろの国民を追い出して、これを植えられました。
[Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
9 あなたはこれがために地を開かれたので、深く根ざして、国にはびこりました。
[Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
10 山々はその影でおおわれ、神の香柏はその枝でおおわれました。
[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
11 これはその枝を海にまでのべ、その若枝を大川にまでのべました。
[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
12 あなたは何ゆえ、そのかきをくずして道ゆくすべての人にその実を摘み取らせられるのですか。
So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
13 林のいのししはこれを荒し、野のすべての獣はこれを食べます。
and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
14 万軍の神よ、再び天から見おろして、このぶどうの木をかえりみてください。
You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
15 あなたの右の手の植えられた幹と、みずからのために強くされた枝とをかえりみてください。
who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
16 彼らは火をもってこれを焼き、これを切り倒しました。彼らをみ顔のとがめによって滅ぼしてください。
Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
17 しかしあなたの手をその右の手の人の上におき、みずからのために強くされた人の子の上においてください。
But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
18 そうすれば、われらはあなたを離れ退くことはありません。われらを生かしてください。われらはあなたのみ名を呼びます。
When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
19 万軍の神、主よ、われらをもとに返し、み顔の光を照してください。そうすればわれらは救をえるでしょう。
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
