ヨブ記Job 3.104.3


Why did I not perish at birth,
And die as I came from the womb?

Why were there knees receive me
And breasts that I might be nursed?

For now I would be lying down in peace,
I would be asleep and at rest

With kings and rulers of the earth,
Who built for themselves places now lying in ruins,,

 Is with princes who had gold,
Who filled their houses with silver,

Or why was I not hidden away in the ground
Like a stillborn child,
like an infant who never saw the light of day?

There the wicked cease from turmoil,
And there the weary are at rest.

Captives also enjoy their ease,
They no longer hear the slave driver’s shout.

The small and the great are there,
And the slaves are freed from their owners,


なぜ、わたしは母の胎にいるうちに
死んでしまわなかったのか。
せめて、産まれてすぐに息絶えなかったのか。

なぜ、膝があってわたしを抱き
乳房があって乳を飲ませたのか。

それさえなければ、今は黙して伏し
憩いを得て、眠りについていたであろうに。

今は廃墟となった町々を築いた
地の王や参議らと共に、
金を蓄え、館(やから)を銀でみたした諸候と共に。

なぜわたしは、葬り去られた流産の子
光を見ない子とならなかったのか。

そこでは神に逆らう者も暴れまわることをやめ
疲れた者も憩を得

捕らわれた人も、共にやすらぎ
追い使う者の声はもう聞こえない。

そこには小さい人も大きい人もともにいて
奴隷も主人から自由になる。







般若心経
















Flower to bloom
