Mga Salmo 60
1 Dios imo kaming gipahilayo; imong giguba ang among mga panalipod; nasuko ka; ipasig-uli kami pag-usab.
[I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
2 Giuyog nimo ang yuta; gipaliki mo kini; ayoha ang mga liki niini, kay kini nauyog.
[When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
3 Gihimo nimo ang imong katawhan nga makakita ug lisod nga mga butang; gipainom mo kami ug bino aron magsumparay.
You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
4 Alang niadtong nagtahod kanimo, imong gipahimutang ang bandila nga madayag batok niadtong nagbitbit sa pana. (Selah)
But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
5 Aron nga kadtong imong gihigugma maluwas, luwasa kami sa imong tuo nga kamot ug tubaga ako.
Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
6 Ang Dios nagsulti sa iyang pagkabalaan, “Magmaya ako; tungaon ko ang Siquem ug bahinbahinon ang walog sa Succoth.
[Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
7 Akoa ang Gilead, ug akoa ang Manasseh; ug ang Efraim usab ang panalipod sa akong ulo; Ang Juda ang akong setro.
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
8 Ang Moab mao ang akong hunawanan; akong ilabay ang akong sapatos ngadto sa Edom; mosinggit ako sa kadaogan tungod sa Filistia.
but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
9 Kinsa ang magdala kanako ngadto sa lig-on nga siyudad? Kinsa ang maggiya kanako sa Edom?
[Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
10 Apan ikaw, O Dios, wala mo ba kami gisalikway? Wala ka moadto sa gira uban ang among mga kasundalohan.
So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
11 Hatagi kami ug tabang batok sa kaaway, kay ang tabang sa tawo walay pulos.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12 Magmalampuson kami pinaagi sa tabang sa Dios; iyang pagayatakan ang among mga kaaway.
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
