Mga Salmo 124

1 “Kung wala pa modapig si Yahweh kanato,” tugoti ang Israelita nga mosulti karon,

You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

2 “kung wala pa modapig si Yahweh kanato sa dihang ang atong mga kaaway mitungha batok kanato,

When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

3 gilamoy na unta kita nila nga buhi sa dihang misilaob ang ilang kaligutgot kanato.

we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

4 Gibanlas na unta kita sa tubig; nalapawan na unta kita sa baha.

[They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,

5 Nalumos na unta kita sa sulog nga tubig.”

and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

6 Dalaygon si Yahweh, nga wala mitugot nga wataswatason kita pinaagi sa ilang mga ngipon.

[But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].

7 Sama kita sa mga langgam nga nakaikyas sa lit-ag sa mga mangangayam; ang lit-ag naguba, ug kita nakaikyas.

We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!

8 Ang atong panabang anaa kang Yahweh, nga maoy nagbuhat sa langit ug kalibotan.

Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
