Psalms 78
1 The understanding of Asaph. O my people, attend to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
Dinggin ninyo ang aking mga tinuturo, aking bayan, makinig kayo sa mga salita ng aking bibig.
2 I will open my mouth in parables. I will speak about concepts that are from the beginning.
Bubuksan ko ang aking bibig sa mga talinhaga; aawit ako tungkol sa mga bagay na lihim tungkol sa nakaraan.
3 We have heard and known such great things, as our fathers have described to us.
Ito ang mga bagay na narinig at natutunan natin, mga bagay na sinabi sa atin ng ating mga ninuno.
4 These things have not been hidden from their sons in any generation: declaring the praises of the Lord, and his virtues, and the wonders that he has done.
Hindi natin ito itatago sa kanilang mga kaapu-apuhan. Sasabihin natin sa susunod na salinlahi ang tungkol sa kapuri-puring mga bagay na ginawa ni Yahweh, ang kaniyang kalakasan, at ang mga kababalaghan na kaniyang ginawa.
5 And he has received testimony with Jacob, and he has set a law within Israel. Such great things, he has commanded our fathers, so as to make these things known to their sons,
Dahil tinatag niya ang mga utos sa tipan kay Jacob at nagtalaga ng batas sa Israel. Inutusan niya ang ating mga ninuno na ituro ito sa kanilang mga anak.
6 so that another generation might know them, and so that the sons, who will be born and who will grow up, shall describe them to their sons.
Inutos niya ito para malaman ng darating na salinlahi ang kaniyang mga tuntunin, ang mga bata na hindi pa ipinapanganak ay dapat din nilang sabihin ito sa kanilang mga magiging anak.
7 So then, may they put their hope in God, and may they not forget the works of God, and may they seek his commandments.
Pagkatapos, ilalagak nila ang kanilang pag-asa sa Diyos at hindi kalilimutan ang mga ginawa niya pero susundin ang kaniyang mga kautusan.
8 May they not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation: a generation that does not straighten their heart and whose spirit is not trustworthy with God.
Pagkatapos, hindi (sila) magiging katulad ng kanilang mga ninuno, na matigas ang ulo at rebeldeng salinlahi, salinlahi na hindi tama ang mga puso, at hindi mapagkakatiwalaan at hindi tapat sa Diyos.
9 The sons of Ephraim, who bend and shoot the bow, have been turned back in the day of battle.
Ang mga taga-Efraim ay armado ng mga pana, pero umatras (sila) sa araw ng labanan.
10 They have not kept the covenant of God. And they were not willing to walk in his law.
Hindi nila iningatan ang tipan sa Diyos, at tumanggi silang sumunod sa kaniyang batas.
11 And they have been forgetful of his benefits, and of his miracle, which he revealed to them.
Nakalimutan nila ang kaniyang mga ginawa, ang mga kamangha-manghang bagay na ipinakita niya sa kanila.
12 He performed miracles in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.
Gumawa siya ng kahanga-hangang mga bagay sa harap ng kanilang mga ninuno sa lupain ng Ehipto, sa lupain ng Soan.
13 He broke the sea and he led them through. And he stationed the waters, as if in a vessel.
Hinati niya ang dagat at dinala (sila) sa kabila nito; pinatayo niya ang mga tubig na gaya ng mga pader.
14 And he led them with a cloud by day, and with illumination by fire throughout the night.
Sa umaga, pinangunahan niya (sila) ng ulap at sa buong gabi sa liwanag ng apoy.
15 He broke through the rock in the wasteland, and he gave them to drink, as if from the great abyss.
Biniyak niya ang mga bato sa ilang, at binigyan (sila) ng maraming tubig, sapat para punuin ang kailaliman ng dagat.
16 He brought forth water from the rock, and he conducted the waters, as if they were rivers.
Nagpaagos siya ng tubig mula sa bato at pinadaloy ang tubig gaya ng mga ilog.
17 And yet, they continued to sin against him. In a waterless place, they provoked the Most High with resentment.
Pero pinagpatuloy pa rin nilang magkasala sa inyo, nagrerebelde laban sa Kataas-taasang Diyos sa ilang.
18 And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking for food according to their desires.
Hinamon nila ang Diyos sa kanilang mga puso sa pamamagitan ng paghingi ng pagkain para pawiin ang kanilang gutom.
19 And they spoke badly about God. They said, “Would God be able to prepare a table in the desert?
Nagsalita (sila) laban sa Diyos: Sabi nila, “Kaya ba talaga ng Diyos na maglatag ng lamesa para sa atin sa ilang?
20 He struck the rock, and so waters flowed and the torrents flooded, but would even he be able to provide bread, or provide a table, for his people?”
Tingnan ninyo, nang hinampas niya ang bato, bumulwak ang tubig at nag-umapaw ang pagdaloy nito. Pero kaya din ba niya na magbigay ng tinapay? Magbibigay ba siya ng karne para sa kaniyang bayan?
21 Therefore, the Lord heard, and he was dismayed, and a fire was kindled within Jacob, and an anger ascended into Israel.
Nang narinig ito ni Yahweh, nagalit siya; kaya nag-alab ang kaniyang apoy laban kay Jacob, nilusob ng galit niya ang Israel,
22 For they neither put their trust in God, nor did they hope in his salvation.
dahil hindi (sila) naniwala sa Diyos at hindi (sila) nagtiwala sa kaniyang kaligtasan.
23 And he commanded the clouds from above, and he opened the doors of heaven.
Gayumpaman, inutusan niya ang mga kalangitan at binuksan ang pinto nito.
24 And he rained down manna upon them to eat, and he gave them the bread of heaven.
Nagpaulan siya ng manna para sa kainin nila, at binigyan (sila) ng butil mula sa langit.
25 Man ate the bread of Angels. He sent them provisions in abundance.
Kinain ng mga tao ang tinapay ng mga anghel. Nagpadala siya sa kanila ng masaganang pagkain.
26 He transferred the south wind from heaven, and, in his virtue, he brought in the Southwest wind.
Pinaihip niya ang silangang hangin sa kalangitan, at sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan, ginabayan niya ang katimugang hangin.
27 And he rained down flesh upon them, as if it were dust, and feathered birds, as if they were the sand of the sea.
Nagpaulan siya ng karne para sa kanila gaya ng alikabok, mga ibon na singdami ng mga buhangin sa dagat.
28 And they fell down in the midst of their camp, encircling their tabernacles.
Nahulog ito sa gitna ng kanilang kampo, sa buong paligid ng kanilang mga tolda.
29 And they ate until they were greatly satisfied, and he brought to them according to their desires.
Kaya kumain (sila) at nabusog. Binigay niya ang gusto nila.
30 They were not cheated out of what they wanted. Their food was still in their mouth,
Pero hindi pa rin (sila) nabusog; ang kanilang pagkain ay nasa mga bibig pa rin nila.
31 and then the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones among them, and he impeded the elect of Israel.
Pagkatapos, nilusob (sila) ng galit ng Diyos at pinatay ang pinakamalalakas sa kanila. Tinumba niya ang mga batang lalaki ng Israel.
32 In all these things, they continued to sin, and they were not trustworthy with his miracles.
Sa kabila nito, patuloy pa rin silang nagkasala at hindi (sila) naniwala sa kaniyang kahanga-hangang mga ginawa.
33 And their days faded away into vanity, and their years with haste.
Dahil dito, pinaikli ng Diyos ang kanilang mga araw; ang kanilang mga taon ay napuno ng takot.
34 When he slew them, then they sought him. And they returned, and they drew near to him in the early morning.
Sa tuwing pinapahirapan (sila) ng Diyos, nagsisimula silang hanapin siya, at babalik (sila) at masidhing hahanapin siya.
35 And they were mindful that God is their helper and that the Most High God is their redeemer.
Maaalala nila na ang Diyos ang kanilang bato at ang Kataas-taasang Diyos ang kanilang tagapagligtas.
36 And they chose him with their mouth, and then they lied to him with their tongue.
Pero bobolahin siya nila sa pamamagitan ng kanilang bibig at magsisinungaling (sila) sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga salita.
37 For their heart was not upright with him, nor have they been living faithfully in his covenant.
Dahil ang kanilang mga puso ay hindi matatag na nakatuon sa kaniya, at hindi (sila) tapat sa kaniyang tipan.
38 Yet he is merciful, and he will pardon their sins. And he will not destroy them. And he has abundantly turned aside his own wrath. And he did not enflame his wrath entirely.
Gayumpaman, siya ay naging maawain, pinatawad niya ang kanilang labis na kasalanan at hindi (sila) winasak. Oo, maraming beses niyang pinigil ang kaniyang galit at hindi pinukaw lahat ang kaniyang matinding galit.
39 And he remembered that they are flesh: with a spirit that goes forth and does not return.
Inalala niya na (sila) ay gawa sa laman, isang hangin na umiihip at hindi na bumalik.
40 How often did they provoke him in the desert and stir him to wrath in a waterless place?
Napakadalas nilang nagrebelde laban sa kaniya sa ilang at pinagdalamhati siya sa tigang na mga rehiyon!
41 And they turned back and tempted God, and they exasperated the Holy One of Israel.
Paulit-ulit nilang sinubok ang Diyos at sinaktan ang Banal ng Israel.
42 They did not remember his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of the one troubling them.
Hindi nila inisip ang kaniyang kapangyarihan, kung paano niya (sila) niligtas mula sa mga kalaban
43 Thus, he positioned his signs in Egypt and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
nang ipinakita niya ang nakasisindak na mga tanda sa Ehipto at kababalaghan niya sa rehiyon ng Soan.
44 And he turned their rivers into blood, along with their rain showers, so that they could not drink.
Ginawa niyang dugo ang mga ilog ng Ehipto para hindi (sila) makainom mula sa kanilang mga batis.
45 He sent among them the common fly, and it devoured them, and the frog, and it scattered them.
Nagpadala siya ng kulupon ng mga langaw na lumamon sa kanila at mga palaka na kumalat sa kanilang lupain.
46 And he gave up their fruits to mold and their labors to the locust.
Binigay niya ang kanilang mga pananim sa mga tipaklong at ang trabaho nila sa mga balang.
47 And he slew their vineyards with hail and their mulberry trees with severe frost.
Winasak niya ang kanilang mga taniman gamit ang yelo at ang kanilang mga punong sikamore ng mas maraming pang yelo.
48 And he delivered their cattle to the hail and their possessions to fire.
Nagpaulan siya ng yelo sa kanilang mga baka at naghagis ng mga kidlat sa kanilang mga baka.
49 And he sent the wrath of his indignation among them: indignation and wrath and tribulation, sent forth by evil angels.
Ang bagsik ng kaniyang galit ay humagupit laban sa kanila. Pinadala niya ang kaniyang poot, matinding galit, at kaguluhan tulad ng mga kinatawan na sinugo para magdala ng sakuna.
50 He made way for the path of his anger. He did not spare their souls from death. And he enclosed their beasts of burden in death.
Itinaas niya ang landas ng kaniyang galit; hindi niya (sila) niligtas mula sa kamatayan pero ibinigay niya (sila) sa salot.
51 And he struck all the first-born in the land of Egypt: the first-fruits of all their labor in the tabernacles of Ham.
Pinatay niya ang lahat ng panganay sa Ehipto, ang panganay ng kanilang lakas sa mga tolda ni Ham.
52 And he took away his own people like sheep, and he led them through the wilderness like a flock.
Inakay niya ang sarili niyang bayan gaya ng tupa at ginabayan (sila) mula sa ilang gaya ng isang kawan.
53 And he led them out in hope, and they did not fear. And the sea covered their enemies.
Inakay niya (sila) nang may kapanatagan at walang takot, pero nagapi ng dagat ang kanilang mga kaaway.
54 And he led them to the mountain of his sanctification: the mountain that his right hand had acquired. And he cast out the Gentiles before their face. And he divided their land by lot to them, with a line of distribution.
Pagkatapos, dinala niya (sila) sa hangganan ng kaniyang banal na lupain, sa kaniyang bundok na nakuha ng kaniyang kanang kamay.
55 And he caused the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
Tinaboy niya ang mga bansa sa kanilang mga harapan at itinalaga (sila) sa kanilang pamana; pinatira niya ang mga tribu ng Israel sa kanilang mga tolda.
56 Yet they tempted and aggravated God Most High, and they did not keep his testaments.
Pero hinamon at sumuway (sila) sa Kataas-taasang Diyos at hindi sinunod ang kaniyang banal na mga kautusan.
57 And they turned themselves aside, and they did not serve the covenant. In the same manner as their fathers, they were turned backwards, like a crooked bow.
Hindi (sila) tapat at kumilos (sila) nang may kataksilan gaya ng kanilang mga ama; hindi (sila) maaasahan tulad ng isang sirang pana.
58 They impelled him to anger on their hills, and they provoked him to rivalry with their graven images.
Dahil siya ay ginalit nila sa kanilang paganong mga templo at pinukaw siya na magalit dahil sa kanilang mga diyos-diyosan.
59 God listened, and he spurned them, and he reduced Israel greatly, almost to nothing.
Nang marinig ito ng Diyos, nagalit siya at lubusang itinakwil ang Israel.
60 And he rejected the tabernacle of Shiloh, his tabernacle where he had dwelt among men.
Iniwan niya ang banal na santuwaryo ng Shilo, ang tolda kung saan siya naninirahan kasama ng mga tao.
61 And he delivered their virtue into captivity, and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
Hinayaan niyang mahuli ang kaniyang lakas at ibinigay niya ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian sa kamay ng kaniyang mga kaaway.
62 And he enclosed his people with the sword, and he spurned his inheritance.
Ibinigay niya ang kaniyang bayan sa mga espada, at nagalit siya sa kaniyang pamana.
63 Fire consumed their young men, and their virgins were not lamented.
Nilamon ng apoy ang kanilang mga binata, at ang mga dalaga nila ay walang mga kantang pangkasal.
64 Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows did not weep.
Nahulog ang kanilang mga pari sa espada, at ang kanilang mga balo ay hindi makaiyak.
65 And the Lord was awakened, as if out of sleep, and like a powerful man impaired by wine.
Pagkatapos, gumising ang Diyos mula sa pagkakatulog, gaya ng isang mandirigma na sumisigaw dahil sa alak.
66 And he struck his enemies on the back. He gave them over to everlasting disgrace.
Pinaatras niya ang kaniyang mga kaaway; inilagay niya (sila) sa walang hanggang kahihiyan.
67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph, and he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
Tinanggihan niya ang tolda ni Jose, at hindi niya pinili ang tribu ni Efraim.
68 But he chose the tribe of Judah: mount Zion, which he loved.
Pinili niya ang tribu ng Juda at Bundok ng Sion na iniibig niya.
69 And he built up his sanctuary, like a single-horned beast, in the land that he founded for all ages.
Itinayo niya ang kaniyang banal na santuwaryo gaya ng langit, gaya ng daigdig na kaniyang itinatag magpakailanman.
70 And he chose his servant David, and he took him from the flocks of the sheep: he received him from following the ewes with their young,
Pinili niya si David, ang kaniyang lingkod, at kinuha siya mula sa kulungan ng mga tupa.
71 in order to pasture Jacob his servant and Israel his inheritance.
Kinuha siya mula sa pagsunod sa mga babaeng tupa kasama ng mga kanilang anak, at dinala siya para maging pastol ni Jacob, ng kaniyang bayan, at ng Israel, na kaniyang pamana.
72 And he fed them with the innocence of his heart. And he led them with the understanding of his hands.
Pinatnubayan (sila) ni David nang may dangal sa kaniyang puso, at ginabayan (sila) sa pamamagitan ng kahusayan ng kaniyang mga kamay.
