Deuteronomy 32
1 “Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
Makinig kayo, mga langit, at ako'y magsasalita, At pakinggan ng lupa ang mga salita ng aking bibig.
2 I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
Ang aking aral ay papatak na parang ulan; Ang aking salita ay bababa na parang hamog; Gaya ng ambon sa malambot na damo, At gaya ng mahinang ambon sa gugulayin:
3 I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
Sapagka't aking ihahayag ang pangalan ng Panginoon: Dakilain ninyo ang ating Dios.
4 He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
Siya ang Bato, ang kaniyang gawa ay sakdal; Sapagka't lahat niyang daan ay kahatulan: Isang Dios na tapat at walang kasamaan, Matuwid at banal siya.
5 “But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
Sila'y nagpakasama, sila'y hindi kaniyang mga anak, itong kanilang kapintasan; Mga tampalasan at likong lahi.
6 You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
Ganyan ba ninyo ginaganti ang Panginoon, O mangmang na bayan at hindi pantas? Hindi ba siya ang iyong ama na tumangkilik sa iyo? Kaniyang nilalang ka, at itinatag ka.
7 “Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
Alalahanin mo ang mga araw ng una, Isipin mo ang mga taon ng lahi't lahi: Itanong mo sa iyong ama at kaniyang ibabalita sa iyo; Sa iyong mga matanda, at kanilang sasaysayin sa iyo.
8 When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
Nang ibigay ng Kataastaasan sa mga bansa ang kanilang mana, Nang kaniyang ihiwalay ang mga anak ng tao, Kaniyang inilagay ang mga hangganan ng mga bayan Ayon sa bilang ng mga anak ni Israel.
9 But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
Sapagka't ang bahagi ng Panginoon ay ang kaniyang bayan; Si Jacob ang bahaging mana niya.
10 “He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
Kaniyang nasumpungan sa isang ilang sa lupain, At sa kapanglawan ng isang umuungal na ilang; Kaniyang kinanlungan sa palibot, kaniyang nilingap, Kaniyang iningatang parang salamin ng kaniyang mata:
11 [Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
Parang aguila na kumikilos ng kaniyang pugad, Na yumuyungyong sa kaniyang mga inakay, Kaniyang ibinubuka ang kaniyang mga pakpak, kaniyang kinukuha, Kaniyang dinadala sa ibabaw ng kaniyang mga pakpak:
12 Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
Ang Panginoon na magisa ang pumatnubay sa kaniya, At walang ibang dios na kasama siya.
13 “[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
Ipinaari sa kaniya ang matataas na dako ng lupa, At siya'y kumain ng tubo sa bukid; At kaniyang pinahitit ng pulot na mula sa bato, At ng langis na mula sa batong pinkian;
14 The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
Ng mantika ng baka, at gatas ng tupa, Na may taba ng mga kordero, At ng mga tupang lalake sa Basan, at mga kambing, Na may taba ng mga butil ng trigo; At sa katas ng ubas ay uminom ka ng alak.
15 “The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
Nguni't tumaba si Jeshurun, at tumutol: Ikaw ay tumataba, ikaw ay lumalapad, ikaw ay naging makinis: Nang magkagayo'y kaniyang pinabayaan ang Dios na lumalang sa kaniya, At niwalang kabuluhan ang Bato na kaniyang kaligtasan.
16 So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
Siya'y kinilos nila sa paninibugho sa ibang mga dios, Sa pamamagitan ng mga karumaldumal, minungkahi nila siya sa kagalitan.
17 They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
Kanilang inihain sa mga demonio, na hindi Dios, Sa mga dios na hindi nila nakilala, Sa mga bagong dios, na kalilitaw pa lamang, Na hindi kinatakutan ng inyong mga magulang.
18 They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
Sa Batong nanganak sa iyo, ay nagwalang bahala ka, At iyong kinalimutan ang Dios na lumalang sa iyo.
19 “When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
At nakita ng Panginoon, at kinayamutan sila, Dahil sa pamumungkahi ng kaniyang mga anak na lalake at babae.
20 He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
At kaniyang sinabi, Aking ikukubli ang aking mukha sa kanila, Aking titingnan kung anong mangyayari sa kanilang wakas; Sapagka't sila'y isang napakasamang lahi, Na mga anak na walang pagtatapat.
21 They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
Kinilos nila ako sa paninibugho doon sa hindi Dios; Kanilang minungkahi ako sa galit sa kanilang mga walang kabuluhan: At akin silang kikilusin sa paninibugho sa mga hindi bayan: Aking ipamumungkahi sila sa galit, sa pamamagitan ng isang mangmang na bansa.
22 I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Sapagka't may apoy na nagalab sa aking galit, At nagniningas hanggang sa Sheol, At lalamunin ang lupa sangpu ng tubo nito, At paniningasan ng apoy ang mga tungtungan ng mga bundok. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
Aking dadaganan sila ng mga kasamaan; Aking gugugulin ang aking busog sa kanila:
24 They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
Sila'y mangapupugnaw sa gutom, at lalamunin ng maningas na init, At ng mapait na pagkalipol; At ang mga ngipin ng mga hayop ay susunugin ko sa kanila, Sangpu ng kamandag ng nangagsisiusad sa alabok.
25 Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
Sa labas ay pipighatiin ng tabak. At sa mga silid ay kakilabutan; Malilipol kapuwa ang binata at dalaga, Ang sanggol sangpu ng lalaking may uban.
26 I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
Aking sinabi, Aking pangangalatin sila sa malayo, Aking papaglilikatin sa mga tao ang alaala sa kanila;
27 But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
Kundi aking kinatatakutan ang mungkahi ng kaaway; Baka ang kanilang mga kalaban ay humatol ng mali, Baka kanilang sabihin, Ang aming kamay ay tanghal, At hindi ginawa ng Panginoon ang lahat ng ito.
28 You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
Sapagka't sila'y bansang salat sa payo, At walang kaalaman sa kanila.
29 If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
Oh kung sila'y mga pantas, na kanilang tinalastas ito, Kung nababatid nila ang kanilang wakas!
30 [You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
Kung paanong hahabulin ng isa ang isang libo, At ang dalawa'y magpapatakas sa sangpung libo, Malibang ipagbili sila ng kanilang Bato, At ibigay sila ng Panginoon?
31 Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
Sapagka't ang kanilang bato ay hindi gaya ng ating Bato, Kahit ang ating mga kaaway man ang maging mga hukom.
32 Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
Sapagka't ang kanilang puno ng ubas ay mga puno ng ubas sa Sodoma, At sa mga parang ng Gomorra: Ang kanilang ubas ay ubas ng apdo, Ang kanilang mga buwig ay mapait:
33 the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
Ang kanilang alak ay kamandag ng mga dragon, At mabagsik na kamandag ng mga ahas.
34 [“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
Di ba ito'y natatago sa akin, Na natatatakan sa aking mga kayamanan?
35 I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
Ang panghihiganti ay akin, at gayon din ang gantingpala, Sa panahon na madudulas ang kanilang mga paa: Sapagka't ang araw ng kanilang pagdadalita ay nalalapit, At ang mga bagay na darating sa kanila ay mangagmamadali.
36 “But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
Sapagka't hahatulan ng Panginoon ang kaniyang bayan, At magsisisi dahil sa kaniyang mga lingkod; Pagka kaniyang nakitang ang kanilang kapangyarihan ay nawala, At wala ng natitira na natatakpan o naiwan.
37 Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
At kaniyang sasabihin, Saan nandoon ang kanilang mga dios, Ang bato na siya nilang pinanganlungan;
38 You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
Yaong mga kumakain ng taba ng kanilang mga hain, At umiinom ng alak ng kanilang inuming handog? Bumangon sila at tumulong sa inyo, At sila'y maging pagkupkop sa inyo.
39 “But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
Tingnan ninyo ngayon, na ako, sa makatuwid baga'y ako nga, At walang dios sa akin: Ako'y pumapatay, at ako'y bumubuhay; Ako'y ang sumusugat, at ako'y ang nagpapagaling: At walang makaliligtas sa aking kamay.
40 I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
Sapagka't aking itinataas ang aking kamay sa langit, At aking sinasabi, Buhay ako magpakailan man,
41 that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
Kung aking ihahasa ang aking makintab na tabak, At ang aking kamay ay hahawak ng kahatulan; Aking ibibigay ang aking panghihiganti sa aking mga kaaway, At aking gagantihan yaong nangapopoot sa akin.
42 I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
At aking lalanguin ng dugo ang aking tunod, At ang aking tabak ay sasakmal ng laman; Sa dugo ng patay at ng mga bihag, Mula sa ulo ng mga pangulo ng kaaway.
43 “You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
Mangagalak kayo, O mga bansa, na kasama ng kaniyang bayan; Sapagka't ipanghihiganti ang dugo ng kaniyang mga lingkod, At manghihiganti sa kaniyang mga kaalit, At patatawarin ang kaniyang lupain, ang kaniyang bayan.
44 Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
At si Moises ay naparoon at sinalita ang lahat ng mga salita ng awit na ito sa pakinig ng bayan, siya, at si Josue na anak ni Nun.
45 When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
At tinapos ni Moises na salitain ang lahat ng mga salitang ito sa buong Israel:
46 Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
At kaniyang sinabi sa kanila, Ilagak ninyo ang inyong puso sa lahat ng mga salita na aking pinatototohanan sa inyo sa araw na ito, na inyong iuutos sa inyong mga anak upang isagawa ang lahat ng mga salita ng kautusang ito.
47 These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
Sapagka't ito'y hindi hamak na bagay sa inyo; sapagka't inyong kabuhayan, at sa bagay na ito ay inyong palalaunin ang inyong ipinagtatawid ng Jordan upang ariin.
48 On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
At sinalita ng Panginoon kay Moises nang araw ding yaon, na sinasabi,
49 “Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
Sumampa ka sa bundok na ito ng Abarim, sa bundok ng Nebo na nasa lupain ng Moab, na nasa tapat ng Jerico; at masdan mo ang lupain ng Canaan, na aking ibinibigay sa mga anak ni Israel, na pinakaari:
50 You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
At mamatay ka sa bundok na iyong sinasampa, at malakip ka sa iyong bayan, gaya ni Aaron na iyong kapatid na namatay sa bundok ng Hor, at nalakip sa kaniyang bayan:
51 You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
Sapagka't kayo'y sumalansang laban sa akin sa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel sa tubig ng Meriba ng Cades, sa ilang ng Zin; sapagka't hindi ninyo ako inaring banal sa gitna ng mga anak ni Israel.
52 [When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
Sapagka't iyong matatanaw ang lupain sa harap mo; nguni't doo'y hindi ka makapapasok, sa lupain na aking ibinibigay sa mga anak ni Israel.
