Gesami Hea:su 78
1 Na fi dunu! Nabima! Sia: na olelebe amo noga: le nabalu, noga: le nabima!
A contemplation by Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people. Turn your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 Na da bagade dawa: su malasu sia: amo da musa: muguniai dialu, amo dilima olelemu.
I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,
3 Amo liligi ninia nabi amola dawa: digi, amola liligi amo da ninia aowalalia ninima adole i, amo dilima olelemu.
which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us.
4 Ninia da ninia mano amo ilia mae nabima: ne ilima hame wamolegei dialumu. Ninia da fa: no fifi mabe ilima Hina Gode Ea gasa bagade hou, amola liligi noga: idafa ninima hamoi amo olelemu.
We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.
5 E da Isala: ili dunu fima sema iasi, amola hamoma: ne sia: i amo Ya: igobe egaga fifi manebe ilima iasi. E da ninia aowalali amo ilima, Ea malasu amo ilia mano ilima olelema: ne olelelesi.
For he established a covenant in Jacob, and appointed a teaching in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;
6 Amalalu, eno fa: no fifi manebe ilia da amo dawa: ma: ne amola ilia da bu alofele ili baligia fifi manebe mano ilia dawa: ma: ne lelema: ne sia: i.
that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,
7 Agoane hamobeba: le, ilia da Godema bu bagadewane dawa: mu amola Ea hahamoi hou amo hamedafa gogolemu, be eso huluane Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amo fa: no bobogelalumu.
that they might set their hope in God, and not forget God’s deeds, but keep his commandments,
8 Ilia da ilia aowalali amo ili agoai hame ba: mu. Ilia da lelesu amola hame nabasu hou hamosu dunu galu. Ilia da Godema mae yolele, dafawaneyale dawa: su hou da gasa hame galu.
and might not be as their fathers— a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that didn’t make their hearts loyal, whose spirit was not steadfast with God.
9 Ifala: ime dunu da dadi amola oulali gaguiwane asili, be gegesu eso da doaga: beba: le ilia da hobeale afia: i.
The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.
10 Ilia da Godema Gousa: su sema hamoi, amo hame dawa: i dialu. Ilia da Ea hamoma: ne sia: i amoma fa: no bobogemu higa: i galu.
They didn’t keep God’s covenant, and refused to walk by his Torah.
11 Ilia da Ea hahamoi liligi amo gogolei amola musa: hame ba: su hou ilima hamosu ilia ba: su, amo gogolesu.
They forgot his doings, his wondrous deeds that he had shown them.
12 Ilia aowalali da sosodolaloba, Gode da musa: hame ba: su hou amo Soua: ne, umi soge amo da Idibidi soge ganodini dialu, amogai hamoi.
He did marvelous things in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.
13 E da hano wayabo amo dogoa damunisili, ili amodili oule asi. E da hano amo dobea fei agoane dialowane hamoi.
He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.
14 Esomogoa, E da mumobi amoga ili oule ahoasu. Amola gasia E da lalu amoga ili oule ahoasu.
In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.
15 E da hafoga: i soge ganodini igi goudagala: le amoga hano sa: i amola amoga ilia moma: ne hano i.
He split rocks in the wilderness, and gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.
16 E da si hano magufu damanadi misa: ne hamobeba: le, hano da bagade sa: ili, hano bagade hamoi.
He brought streams also out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.
17 Be ilia da mae yolele Gode Ea ba: ma: ne wadela: i hou gebewane hamonanu, amola hafoga: i soge ganodini ilia da Gode Baligili Bagadedafa Ema lelesu hou hamosu.
Yet they still went on to sin against him, to rebel against the Most High in the desert.
18 Ilia da Godema adoba: musa: , ha: i manu ilia hanaidafa amo ilima ima: ne gebewane adole boba: su.
They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.
19 Ilia da Godema gadele amola agoane sia: i. “Gode da hafoga: i soge ganodini ha: i manu ninima sagoma: bela: ?
Yes, they spoke against God. They said, “Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?
20 Amo da dafawane, E da igi damana fabeba: le hano da musa: le sa: i. Be E da ninima agi ima: bela: ? Amola Ea fi dunuma hu moma: ne ima: bela: ?”
Behold, he struck the rock, so that waters gushed out, and streams overflowed. Can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”
21 Amaiba: le, Gode da ilia amane sia: dabe amo nababeba: le, E da ougi galu. E da Ea fi dunu ilima lalu amoga doagala: i, amola Gode Ea ilima ougi hou bagadewane heda: lalu.
Therefore the LORD heard, and was angry. A fire was kindled against Jacob, anger also went up against Israel,
22 Bai ili da Ema dafawaneyale hame dawa: i, amola E da ili gaga: mu amo ili dafawaneyale hame dawa: i.
because they didn’t believe in God, and didn’t trust in his salvation [yeshuat].
23 Be E muagado ea logo ga: su doasisima: ne sia: i.
Yet he commanded the skies above, and opened the doors of heaven.
24 E da ilia moma: ne, ‘ma: na’ amo Hebenega gadonini salisisi.
He rained down manna on them to eat, and gave them food from the sky.
25 Amaiba: le, ilia da a: igele dunu ilia ha: i manu amo mai dagoi, amola Gode da ilia hanai amo defele i.
Man ate the bread of angels. He sent them food to the full.
26 E da gusudili mabe fo amo misa: ne hamosu, amola Ea gasa amoga ga (south) amodili mabe fo amoma fane susugai.
He caused the east wind to blow in the sky. By his power he guided the south wind.
27 Amola E da Ea fi dunu ilima sio osea: idafa amo da hano bega: sa: i boso su amo idi defele ilima iasi.
He also rained meat on them as the dust, winged birds as the sand of the seas.
28 Amo sio da ilia logoa helefisu diasu gaguli gagai, amo dogoa amogai amola abula diasu gaguli gagai amo beba: le huluane dafia: i.
He let them fall in the middle of their camp, around their habitations.
29 Amalalu, dunu huluane ilia da amo maiba: le bagade sadigia: i ba: i. Gode da ilia hanai amo defele ilima i.
So they ate, and were well filled. He gave them their own desire.
30 Be ilia edegenanusu da hamedafa yolei, amola ilia da mae yolele gebewane nana ahoana,
They didn’t turn from their cravings. Their food was yet in their mouths,
31 Gode da ilima ougiba: le, E da ilia gasa bagade dunu amola Isala: ili ganodini ayeligi dunu noga: idafa, amo fane lelegei.
when the anger of God went up against them, killed some of their strongest, and struck down the young men of Israel.
32 Gode da ilima gasa bagade hame ba: su hou hamosu, be ilia da amo mae dawa: le, gebewane wadela: i hou hamonanusu amola ilia da Ema dafawaneyale hame dawa: su.
For all this they still sinned, and didn’t believe in his wondrous works.
33 Amaiba: le, E da ilia esalusu eso amo mifo heda: be defele hedolowane dagolesi, amola ilia esalusu da hedolodafa gugunufinisi ba: i.
Therefore he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.
34 E da dunu oda fane lelegeloba, dunu mogili hame bogogia: i esalebe ilia da Ema sinidigisu. Ilia da ilia wadela: i hou hamoi huluane sisane, dafawane Ema fofada: ne iasu.
When he killed them, then they inquired after him. They returned and sought God earnestly.
35 Ilia da dawa: loba, Gode da ili gaga: sudafa esala, amola Hina Bagadedafa da hidadea ili fidila misi.
They remembered that God was their rock, the Most High God, their redeemer.
36 Be ilia sia: huluane da ogogosu sia: fawane sia: su. Ilia sia: da udigili sia: fawane sia: su.
But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied to him with their tongue.
37 Ilia da Ema hame fuligala: su. Ilia da Gode Ea Gousa: su ilima hamoi amoma mae fa: no bobogele, yolesi dagoi.
For their heart was not right with him, neither were they faithful in his covenant.
38 Be Gode da Ea fi dunuma asigi galu. E da ilia wadela: i hou hamoi gogolema: ne olofosu, amola ili wadela: le hamoiba: le hame gugunufinisisu. Eso bagohame, E da Ea ougi hou amo Hi gagulaligisu amola Ea ougi hou bagade amo Hi guminisisu.
But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.
39 E da dawa: loba, ilia da osobo bagade dunu fawane. Ilia da fo agoane misini bu asi hame ba: sa, amo agoai defele ba: su.
He remembered that they were but flesh, a wind that passes away, and doesn’t come again.
40 Ilia eso bagohamedafa, hafoga: i soge ganodini Ema lelesu hou hamosu. Amola eso bagohamedafa ilia da Ema da: i diosu ianusu.
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness, and grieved him in the desert!
41 Ilia da enoenoia Godema adoba: su hou hamonanu, amola Isala: ili fi dunu ilia Hadigi Gode Ema se nabasu iasu.
They turned again and tempted God, and provoked the Holy One of Israel.
42 Ilia da Ea gasa bagade hou amo gogolei, amola ilima ha lai dunu ilia, ili wadela: lesisa: besa: le Ea gaga: i hou amo gogolei.
They didn’t remember his hand, nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;
43 Amola Ea gasa bagade hou hamosu amola musa: hame ba: su hou amo da Soua: ne umi soge amo da Idibidi soge ganodini, hahamoi, amo gogolei.
how he set his signs in Egypt, his wonders in the field of Zoan,
44 E da hano huluane afadenene maga: me agoane hamoiba: le, Idibidi dunu ilia da hano manu hamedei ba: i.
he turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, so that they could not drink.
45 Gode da Idibidi dunuma se nabasu ba: ma: ne, amola ilia soge wadela: lesima: ne, gagoba: amola guama iasi.
He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 Gode da ilia ha: i manu bugi wadela: lesima: ne, danuba: iasi.
He also gave their increase to the caterpillar, and their labor to the locust.
47 Gode da ilia waini bugi amo fane salima: ne, mu gene iasi. Amola ilia figi ifa bugi amo anegagi ofo amoga dubu fili wadela: gia: ma: ne hamoi.
He destroyed their vines with hail, their sycamore fig trees with frost.
48 Gode da ilia bulamagau fofoi amo mu gene sa: ili fane bogogia: ma: ne, mu gene iasi amola ilia ohe fofoi amo ha: ha: naga fane lelegema: ne hamoi.
He also gave over their livestock to the hail, and their flocks to hot thunderbolts.
49 Gode da Ea gasa bagade hou amo Isala: ili dunu ilia noga: le dawa: digima: ne, ilima, Ea ougi hou amo iasi. Amo da sia: adola ahoasu dunu agoane bogosu ilima oule misi.
He threw on them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, indignation, and trouble, and a band of angels of evil.
50 E da Ea ougi hou amo hame gumi, amola ilia esalusu amo hame gaga: i. Be E da ili medole legemusa: , olo bagade ilima iasi.
He made a path for his anger. He didn’t spare their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence,
51 E da Idibidi dunu ilia sosogo fi amoga magobo dunu mano huluane fane lelegei.
and struck all the firstborn in Egypt, the chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.
52 Amalu Gode da Ea fi dunu amo sibi ouligisu dunu ilia sibi ouligibi defele Isala: ili dunu amo gadili oule asili, hafoga: i soge ganodini ili noga: le fidisu.
But he led out his own people like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
53 Gode da ili noga: le oule asi amola ilia da hame beda: gia: i. Be hano wayabo da ilima ha lai dunu amo gadulisiba: le, ilia da bogogia: i.
He led them safely, so that they weren’t afraid, but the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
54 Gode da Isala: ili dunu amo Ea hadigi soge amoga oule misi. Amo goumia fi dunu Gode Hi Hisu hasalasilalu samogene lai, amo goumiga oule misi.
He brought them to the border of his sanctuary, to this mountain, which his right hand had taken.
55 Isala: ili dunu da gusuba: i mogodigili ahoanoba, Gode da ilia ha lai dunu gadili sefasilalu. E da soge amo momogili, ilima sagolesi. Amola ilia ha lai dunu ilia diasu amo lale, Ea fi dunu ilima sagolesi.
He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.
56 Be Ea fi dunu da Gode Bagadedafa amoma odoga: i. Amola Ema adoba: su hou hamoi. Ilia da Ea hamoma: ne sia: i, amo hame nabasu.
Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,
57 Ilia da ilia aowalalia hou defele, lelesu bagade hamoi amola Godemagale hame fuligala: i. Ilia da gugaloi dadi defele, moloi hame ba: i.
but turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers. They were twisted like a deceitful bow.
58 Ilia da E ougima: ne, ogogosu loboga hamoi ‘gode’ ilima nodone sia: ne gadosu, amola ogogole sia: ne gadosu sogebi hamoi.
For they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their engraved images.
59 Amo hou ba: beba: le, Gode da ougi bagade ba: i. Amaiba: le, E da dafawanedafa Ea fima higale, ili fisiagai.
When God heard this, he was angry, and greatly abhorred Israel,
60 E da musa: Siailou moilai abula diasu ganodini nini esalu. Be E da amo gahegi dagoi.
so that he abandoned the tent of Shiloh, the tent which he placed among men,
61 Gode Ea Gousa: su sema Gagili da ninima Ea gasa amola hadigi hou dawa: digima: ne olelesu galu. Be Gode da amo nini ha lai dunu amo samogema: ne, logo doasi dagoi.
and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.
62 E da Ea fidafa dunuma ougiba: le, E da ilia ha lai dunu amo ili fane legema: ne yolesi.
He also gave his people over to the sword, and was angry with his inheritance.
63 Ayeligi dunu huluane da gegesu ganodini fane legei dagoiba: le, uda a: fini ili lamu dunu da hame ba: i.
Fire devoured their young men. Their virgins had no wedding song.
64 Gobele salasu dunu da nimi sa: li gegesu amoga bogogia: iba: le, ilia uda didalo ili da mae didigia: ma: ne ilegei.
Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows couldn’t weep.
65 Fa: nodafa, Hina Gode da golai dialu wa: legadobe agoane wa: legadoi. E da gasa bagade dunu, amo da waini hano maiba: le, fofogadigili amola gasa bagade hamosa, amo defele ba: i.
Then the Lord awakened as one out of sleep, like a mighty man who shouts by reason of wine.
66 Gode da Ea ha lai dunu ili mae fisili gogosia: i dialoma: ne, ili se bobogele hasalasi.
He struck his adversaries backward. He put them to a perpetual reproach.
67 Be E da Yousefe egaga fifi mabe ili higa: i. Amola E da Ifala: ime fi amo hame ilegele lai.
Moreover he rejected the tent of Joseph, and didn’t choose the tribe of Ephraim,
68 Be amomane E da Yuda sosogo fi dunu amo ilegele lai, amola Saione Goumia fi dunu ilima Hi da baligili asigi galu, amo E da lai.
But chose the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion which he loved.
69 Amogai E da Ea Debolo diasu (amo da Hebene ganodini dialebe, amo agoai) gagui. E da amo Debolo Diasu ga: nasidafa osobo bagade agoai, eso huluane dialoma: ne, gagui dagoi.
He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he has established forever.
70 Gode Ea hawa: hamosu Da: ibidi da ea ohe fofoi ilia moma: ne gisi bugi, amo ganodini esaloba, Gode da e ilegei.
He also chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds;
71 Amogai e da ea sibi ouligilaloba, Gode da e Isala: ili ilia hina bagade hamoma: ne ilegei. Amalu e da Gode Ea fi dunuma sibi ouligisu defele ouligilaloma: ne, ema ilegei.
from following the ewes that have their young, he brought him to be the shepherd of Jacob, his people, and Israel, his inheritance.
72 Da: ibidi da Isala: ili fi ouligisia, e da ilia gilisisu amo ganodini, e da ilima uasu hou hame hamosu amola hina fidimu mae dawa: le, ili noga: le ouligi.
So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, and guided them by the skillfulness of his hands.
