Mga Salmo 44

1 Nadungog namo sa among mga igdulongog, Dios, ang among katigulangan nag-sulti kanamo sa mga butang nga imong nabuhat sa ilang mga panahon, sa karaang mga panahon.

God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.

2 Gipapahawa mo ang mga nasod pinaagi sa imong mga kamot, apan gitanom mo ang among mga katawhan; gipasakitan mo ang imong mga katawhan, apan gipakatag mo ang among katawhan sa kayutaan.

[They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].

3 Kay wala nila naangkon ang yuta nga ilang gipanag-iya pinaagi sa ilang espada, ni ang ilang mga bukton nagluwas kanila; apan pinaagi sa imong tuong kamot, sa imong bukton, ug sa kahayag sa imong panagway, tungod kay midapig kaman kanila.

It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.

4 Dios, Ikaw ang akong Hari; pagmando ug kadaogan kang Jacob.

You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.

5 Pinaagi kanimo ipaubos namo ang among mga kaaway; pinaagi sa imong ngalan amo silang tamak-tamakan, kadtong nakigbatok kanamo.

It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.

6 Kay wala ako misalig sa akong pana, ni ang akong espada nga magluwas kanako.

I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.

7 Apan giluwas mo kami gikan sa among mga kaaway, ug gipakaulawan kadtong nagdumot kanamo.

No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].

8 Diha sa Dios makapasigarbo kami sa tibuok nga adlaw, ug kami magapasalamat sa imong ngalan hangtod sa hangtod. (Selah)

We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.

9 Apan karon gihulog mo kami ug gipakaulawan, ug wala ka miuban sa among mga sundalo.

But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.

10 Gipabalik mo kami gikan sa mga kaaway; ug kadtong nagdumot kanamo giilog ang among mga kabtangan alang sa ilang kaugalingon.

You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.

11 Gihimo mo kaming sama sa karnero nga gitagana alang sa pagkaon ug gitibulaag taliwala sa mga kanasoran.

You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].

12 Gibaligya mo ang imong katawhan alang sa wala; ug wala nadugangan ang imong bahandi tungod niana.

[It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!

13 Gipahinginlan mo kami sa among mga silingan, gipakaulawan ug gipasipalahan niadtong nagpalibot kanamo.

People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.

14 Gipabugalbugalan mo kami taliwala sa mga nasod, ug nagpanglingolingo ang mga tawo sa ilang mga ulo taliwala sa mga katawhan.

They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].

15 Sa tibuok adlaw ang kaulaw anaa kanako, ug ang kaulawan nagtabon sa akong panagway.

All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.

16 Tungod sa iyang tingog sa pagbadlong ug pagtamay, tungod sa kaaway ug sa nagapanimalos.

I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.

17 Kining tanan miabot kanamo; apan kami wala nakalimot kanimo o nakalapas sa imong kasabotan.

All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].

18 Ang among kasingkasing wala mibalik, ang among lakang wala mawala sa imong dalan.

We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].

19 Apan gibuak mo kami sa dapit sa mga ihalas nga iro ug gitabonan kami sa landong sa kamatayon.

But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].

20 Kung among nalimtan ang ngalan sa among Dios o nagbayaw sa among mga kamot sa diosdios,

If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,

21 Dili ba makita man kini sa Dios? Kay nasayod siya sa gitago sa kasingkasing.

you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.

22 Sa pagkatinuod, alang kanimo nabutang kami sa kamatayon sa tibuok adlaw; sama kami sa karnero nga ihawonon.

But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.

23 Pagmata, nganong natulog ka man, Ginoo? Barog, ayaw kami isalikway kanunay.

[So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!

24 Nganong gitago mo man ang imong panagway ug gikalimtan ang among kasakit ug ang among pagkadinaugdaog?

Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?

25 Kay kami natunaw ug nahimong abog; ug ang among mga lawas nasagol sa yuta.

We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.

26 Tindog ug tubsa kami alang sa imong matinud-nong kasabotan.

Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
