Mga Salmo 118
1 Pasalamati si Yahweh, tungod kay siya maayo, kay ang iyang matinud-anon nga kasabotan molungtad sa kahangtoran.
Tell Yahweh that you thank him very much for the good [things that he has done for you] He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever.
2 Tugoti nga moingon ang Israel, “Ang iyang matinud-anon nga kasabotan molungtad sa kahangtoran.”
You Israeli [people] should [repeatedly] shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
3 Tugoti ang panimalay ni Aaron nga mosulti, “Ang iyang matinud-anon nga kasabotan molungtad sa kahangtoran.”
You [priests] who are descendants of Aaron should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves us, his people, forever!”
4 Tugoti ang maunongon nga mga sumusunod ni Yahweh mosulti, “Ang iyang matinud-anon nga kasabotan molungtad sa kahangtoran.”
All you who revere him should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
5 Sa akong pag-antos mitawag ako kang Yahweh; gitubag ako ni Yahweh ug gihimo niya akong gawasnon.
When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me and set me free [from my worries/troubles].
6 Uban kanako si Yahweh; dili ako mahadlok; unsa may mabuhat sa tawo kanako?
Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), so I will not be afraid [of anything]. No one [RHQ] can do anything that will [prevent God from blessing] me forever.
7 Anaa si Yahweh sa akong kiliran isip akong magtatabang; maglantaw ako sa kadaogan batok niadtong nagdumot kanako.
[Yes], Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), [so] I will look triumphantly at my enemies [while he defeats them].
8 Mas maayo pa nga modangop kang Yahweh kaysa mosalig sa tawo.
It is better to trust in Yahweh than to (depend on/trust in) people.
9 Mas maayo pa nga modangop kang Yahweh kaysa ibutang ang pagsalig sa mga prinsipe.
It is better to trust Yahweh to protect [us] than to trust [that influential/important] people [will protect us].
10 Ang tanang kanasoran nagpalibot kanako; sa ngalan ni Yahweh gipamutol ko (sila)
Armies of [MTY] many nations surrounded me, [but] Yahweh enabled me to defeat them by his power [MTY].
11 Gilibotan ako nila; oo, gilibotan ako nila; sa ngalan ni Yahweh gipamutol ko (sila)
They completely surrounded me, [but] I defeated them all by the power of Yahweh.
12 Gilibotan ako nila sama sa mga buyog; nangawala (sila) sama kapaspas sa kalayo diha sa mga tunok; sa ngalan ni Yahweh gipamutol ko (sila)
They swarmed around me like [angry] bees; they were like a fire that blazes strongly, but only briefly, in a thornbush, [but] I defeated them by the power [MTY] that Yahweh gave me.
13 Mihasmag (sila) kanako aron tumbahon ako, apan gitabangan ako ni Yahweh.
[My enemies] attacked me fiercely and almost defeated me, but Yahweh helped me.
14 Si Yahweh ang akong kusog ug kalipay, ug siya ang nagluwas kanako.
Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one about whom I [always] sing; he has saved me [from my enemies].
15 Ang malipayong panaghugyaw sa kadaogan madunggan sa mga tolda sa matarong; ang tuong kamot ni Yahweh nagmadaugon.
Listen to the joyful songs of victory being sung in the tents of godly/righteous people! They sing, “Yahweh has defeated our enemies by his mighty power [MTY];
16 Ang tuong kamot ni Yahweh gibayaw; ang tuong kamot ni Yahweh nagmadaugon.
he has raised his strong right arm [to show he has defeated his enemies]. Yahweh has completely defeated them!”
17 Dili ako mamatay apan mabuhi ug ipahayag ang mga buhat ni Yahweh.
I will not be killed [in battle]; I will live to proclaim the great things that Yahweh has done.
18 Apan hilabihan ang pagsilot kanako ni Yahweh; apan wala niya ako itugyan sa kamatayon.
Yahweh has punished me severely, but he has not allowed (me to die/[my enemies] to kill me).
19 Ablihi alang kanako ang ganghaan sa pagkamatarong; mosulod ako kanila ug magpasalamat ako kang Yahweh.
[You gatekeepers], open for me the gates of the temple in order that I may enter and thank Yahweh.
20 Mao kini ang ganghaan ni Yahweh; ang matarong makasulod pinaagi niini.
Those are the gates [through which we enter the temple to worship] Yahweh; godly/righteous people enter those gates.
21 Pasalamatan ko ikaw, tungod kay imo akong gitubag, ug ikaw ang nahimo kong kaluwasan.
[Yahweh], I thank you that you answered my prayer, and you saved me [from my enemies].
22 Ang bato nga gisalikway sa mga magtutukod nahimo nang patukoranan.
[Yahweh’s promised/chosen king is like] [MET] the stone which the builders rejected [when they were building a house], [but that stone] became the (cornerstone/most important stone in the building).
23 Buhat kini ni Yahweh; katingalahan kini sa atong mga mata.
(This was done by Yahweh/Yahweh has done this), and it is a wonderful thing for us to see.
24 Mao kini ang adlaw nga namuhat si Yahweh; magmaya ug maglipay kita niini.
This is the day in which [we remember that] Yahweh acted [powerfully to defeat our enemies]; we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.
25 Palihog, Yahweh, ihatag kanamo ang kadaogan! Palihog, Yahweh, ihatag kanamo ang kalamposan!
Yahweh, we plead with you to [keep] rescuing us [from our enemies]. Yahweh, please help us (accomplish/do well) [what we want to do].
26 Bulahan siya nga miduol sa ngalan ni Yahweh; gipanalanginan namo kamo gikan sa panimalay ni Yahweh.
Yahweh, bless the one who will come with your authority [MTY]. And from the temple we (bless/[ask Yahweh to] bless) all of you.
27 Si Yahweh Dios, ug gihatagan kita niya ug kahayag; hikti ang halad ngadto sa sungay sa halaran.
Yahweh is God, and he has caused his light to shine on us. Come, carrying [palm] branches, and join the people [who are starting] the festival as they go to the altar.
28 Ikaw ang akong Dios, ug magpasalamat ako kanimo; ikaw ang akong Dios; ibayaw ko ikaw.
[Yahweh], you are the God whom I [worship], and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will tell [everyone] that you are great!
29 O, pasalamati si Yahweh; kay siya maayo; kay ang iyang matinud-anon nga kasabotan molungtad sa kahangtoran.
Thank Yahweh, because he does good things [for us] He will faithfully love [us] forever.
