Mga Salmo 139

1 Yahweh, gisusi nimo ako, ug nakaila ka kanako.

Yahweh, you have examined me, and you know [everything about] me.

2 Nasayod ka sa dihang molingkod ug motindog ako; gikan sa layo nasabtan nimo ang akong mga panghuna-huna.

You know when I sit down and when I stand up. [Even though you are] far away from me, you know what I am thinking.

3 Nakita nimo ang akong agianan ug ang akong paghigda; nasayod ka sa tanan nakong mga pamaagi.

When I travel and when I lie down, you know everything that I do.

4 Kay sa wala pa malitok ang pulong sa akong dila, nasayran mo na ang kinatibuk-an niini, Yahweh.

Yahweh, even before I say [MTY] anything, you know everything that I am going to say!

5 Sa akong likod, ug sa akong atubangan gilibotan mo ako ug gitapion nimo ang imong kamot kanako.

You protect me on all sides; you put your hand on me [to protect me with your power] [MTY].

6 Kana nga kahibalo sobra gayod kaayo alang kanako; hilabihan kini ka taas ug dili ko kini matukib.

I am not able to understand that you know [everything about me]. That is too great for me to really understand.

7 Asa man ako moadto gikan sa imong Espiritu? Asa man ako mokalagiw gikan sa imong presensiya?

(Where could I go to escape from your Spirit?/I could not go anywhere to escape from your Spirit.) [RHQ] (Where could I go to get away from you?/I could not go anywhere to get away from you.) [RHQ]

8 Kung mosaka ako sa kalangitan, atua ka didto; kung mohimo ako ug higdaanan sa Seol, tan-awa, atua ka usab didto. (Sheol h7585)

If I went up to heaven, you would be there. If I lay down in the place where the dead people are, you would be there. (Sheol h7585)

9 Kung molupad ako pinaagi sa mga pako sa kabuntagon unya mopuyo sa kinalayoang dapit tabok sa dagat,

If I had wings and flew very far east [MTY], or if I flew west and made a place to live [on an island] in the ocean,

10 bisan didto ang imong kamot maoy mogiya kanako, ang imong tuong kamot maoy mogunit kanako.

you would be there also, to lead me by your hand, and you would help me.

11 Kung miingon ako, “Sigurado nga ang kangitngit gayod ang motabon kanako, ug ang kahayag mahimong kagabhion palibot kanako,”

I could request the darkness to hide me, or I could request the light around me to become darkness,

12 bisan ang kangitngit dili mahimong ngitngit alang kanimo. Ang kagabhion modan-ag sama sa adlaw, tungod kay ang kangitngit ug ang kahayag managsama lamang alang kanimo.

but even [if that happened], the darkness would not be darkness for you! For you, the night is [as bright] as the daytime is, because for you, daylight and darkness are (not different/the same).

13 Gihulma nimo ang mga bahin sa akong lawas; gihulma nimo ako sa sabakan sa akong inahan.

You created [all] the parts of my body; you put [the parts of] my body together when I was still in my mother’s womb.

14 Dayegon ko ikaw, tungod kay gihimo ako sa kahibulongan nga paagi. Nasayod gayod ang akong kalag niini.

I praise you because you made my [body in a very] awesome and wonderful way. Everything that you do is amazing! I know that very well.

15 Wala nalilong kanimo ang akong kabukogan sa dihang gimugna ako didto sa tago, sa dihang gihulma ako sa kinahiladman sa kalibotan.

When my body was being formed, while it was being put together where no one else could see it, you saw it!

16 Nakakita ka kanako sulod sa sabakan; nahisulat na diha sa imong libro ang tanang adlaw nga alang kanako bisan sa wala pa nahitabo ang unang adlaw niini.

You saw me before I was born. You wrote in your book the number of days that you had decided that I would live. You did that before any of those days had [even] started!

17 Pagkabililhon gayod sa imong mga panghunahuna nganhi kanako, Dios! Pagkadaghan gayod niini!

God, what you think about me is very precious (OR, is very hard to understand). There is a great number of things that you think about.

18 Kung sulayan ko kini pag-ihap, mas daghan pa kini kay sa balas. Sa akong pagmata uban gihapon ako kanimo.

If I could count them, [I would see that] they are more than the grains of sand [at the seashore]. And when I wake up, I am still with you [and I know that there are still more of your thoughts about me to count].

19 Dios, kung patyon unta nimo ang daotan; palayo kanako, kamo nga mga tawong bangis.

God, I desire that you would kill all the wicked people! And I wish that violent [MTY] men would (leave/go away from) me.

20 Nakigbatok (sila) kanimo ug nanglimbong; nagsulti ug bakak ang imong mga kaaway.

They say wicked/malicious things about you; they slander your name.

21 Dili ko ba kasilagan, kadtong nasilag kanimo, Yahweh? Dili ko ba tamayon kadtong mga nakigbatok kanimo?

Yahweh, I certainly [RHQ] hate those who hate you! And I despise [RHQ] those who rebel against you.

22 Gikasilagan ko (sila) pag-ayo; nahimo ko na silang mga kaaway.

I hate them completely, and I consider that they are my enemies.

23 Susiha ako, Dios, ug hibaloi ang akong kasingkasing; sulayi ako ug hibaloi ang akong mga panghunahuna.

God, search my inner being; find out what I am thinking!

24 Tan-awa kung aduna ba akoy daotang mga pamaagi, ug giyahi ako sa dalan ngadto sa walay kataposan.

Find out whether there is anything evil in my [inner being], and lead me along the road [that leads to my being with you] forever.
