Psalms 118
1 Tell Yahweh that you thank him very much for the good [things that he has done for you] He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever.
Oh mangagpasalamat kayo sa Panginoon; sapagka't siya'y mabuti: sapagka't ang kaniyang kagandahang-loob ay magpakailan man.
2 You Israeli [people] should [repeatedly] shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Magsabi ngayon ang Israel, na ang kaniyang kagandahang-loob ay magpakailan man.
3 You [priests] who are descendants of Aaron should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves us, his people, forever!”
Magsabi ngayon ang sangbahayan ni Aaron, na ang kaniyang kagandahang-loob ay magpakailan man.
4 All you who revere him should repeatedly shout, “He faithfully loves [us, his people], forever!”
Mangagsabi ngayon ang nangatatakot sa Panginoon, na ang kaniyang kagandahang-loob ay magpakailan man.
5 When I was distressed, I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me and set me free [from my worries/troubles].
Sa aking kapanglawan ay tumawag ako sa Panginoon: sinagot ako ng Panginoon, at inilagay ako sa maluwag na dako.
6 Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), so I will not be afraid [of anything]. No one [RHQ] can do anything that will [prevent God from blessing] me forever.
Ang Panginoon ay kakampi ko; hindi ako matatakot: anong magagawa ng tao sa akin?
7 [Yes], Yahweh is (on my side/helping me), [so] I will look triumphantly at my enemies [while he defeats them].
Ang Panginoon ay kakampi ko sa gitna nila na nagsisitulong sa akin: kaya't makikita ko ang nasa ko sa kanila na nangagtatanim sa akin.
8 It is better to trust in Yahweh than to (depend on/trust in) people.
Lalong mabuti ang manganlong sa Panginoon kay sa maglagak ng tiwala sa tao.
9 It is better to trust Yahweh to protect [us] than to trust [that influential/important] people [will protect us].
Lalong mabuti ang manganlong sa Panginoon kay sa maglagak ng tiwala sa mga pangulo.
10 Armies of [MTY] many nations surrounded me, [but] Yahweh enabled me to defeat them by his power [MTY].
Kinubkob ako ng lahat ng mga bansa sa palibot: sa pangalan ng Panginoon ay aking ihihiwalay (sila)
11 They completely surrounded me, [but] I defeated them all by the power of Yahweh.
Kanilang kinubkob ako sa palibot; oo, kanilang kinubkob ako sa palibot: sa pangalan ng Panginoon ay aking ihihiwalay (sila)
12 They swarmed around me like [angry] bees; they were like a fire that blazes strongly, but only briefly, in a thornbush, [but] I defeated them by the power [MTY] that Yahweh gave me.
Kanilang kinubkob ako sa palibot na parang mga pukyutan: sila'y nangamatay na parang apoy ng mga dawag: sa pangalan ng Panginoon ay aking ihihiwalay (sila)
13 [My enemies] attacked me fiercely and almost defeated me, but Yahweh helped me.
Itinulak mo akong bigla upang ako'y mabuwal: nguni't tulungan ako ng Panginoon.
14 Yahweh is the one who makes me strong, and he is the one about whom I [always] sing; he has saved me [from my enemies].
Ang Panginoon ay aking kalakasan at awit; at siya'y naging aking kaligtasan.
15 Listen to the joyful songs of victory being sung in the tents of godly/righteous people! They sing, “Yahweh has defeated our enemies by his mighty power [MTY];
Ang tinig ng kagalakan at kaligtasan ay nasa mga tolda ng matuwid: ang kanan ng Panginoon ay gumagawang matapang.
16 he has raised his strong right arm [to show he has defeated his enemies]. Yahweh has completely defeated them!”
Ang kanan ng Panginoon ay nabunyi; ang kanan ng Panginoon ay gumagawang matapang.
17 I will not be killed [in battle]; I will live to proclaim the great things that Yahweh has done.
Hindi ako mamamatay, kundi mabubuhay, at magpapahayag ng mga gawa ng Panginoon.
18 Yahweh has punished me severely, but he has not allowed (me to die/[my enemies] to kill me).
Pinarusahan akong mainam ng Panginoon; nguni't hindi niya ako ibinigay sa kamatayan.
19 [You gatekeepers], open for me the gates of the temple in order that I may enter and thank Yahweh.
Buksan ninyo sa akin ang mga pintuan ng katuwiran; aking papasukan, ako'y magpapasalamat sa Panginoon.
20 Those are the gates [through which we enter the temple to worship] Yahweh; godly/righteous people enter those gates.
Ito'y siyang pintuan ng Panginoon; papasukan ng matuwid.
21 [Yahweh], I thank you that you answered my prayer, and you saved me [from my enemies].
Ako'y magpapasalamat sa iyo, sapagka't sinagot mo ako! At ikaw ay naging aking kaligtasan.
22 [Yahweh’s promised/chosen king is like] [MET] the stone which the builders rejected [when they were building a house], [but that stone] became the (cornerstone/most important stone in the building).
Ang bato na itinakuwil ng nangagtayo ng bahay ay naging pangulo sa sulok.
23 (This was done by Yahweh/Yahweh has done this), and it is a wonderful thing for us to see.
Ito ang gawa ng Panginoon: kagilagilalas sa harap ng ating mga mata.
24 This is the day in which [we remember that] Yahweh acted [powerfully to defeat our enemies]; we will rejoice and be glad/happy today.
Ito ang araw na ginawa ng Panginoon; tayo'y mangagagalak at ating katutuwaan.
25 Yahweh, we plead with you to [keep] rescuing us [from our enemies]. Yahweh, please help us (accomplish/do well) [what we want to do].
Magligtas ka ngayon, isinasamo namin sa iyo, Oh Panginoon: Oh Panginoon, isinasamo namin sa iyo, magsugo ka ngayon ng kaginhawahan.
26 Yahweh, bless the one who will come with your authority [MTY]. And from the temple we (bless/[ask Yahweh to] bless) all of you.
Mapalad siya na dumarating sa pangalan ng Panginoon: aming pinuri kayo mula sa bahay ng Panginoon.
27 Yahweh is God, and he has caused his light to shine on us. Come, carrying [palm] branches, and join the people [who are starting] the festival as they go to the altar.
Ang Panginoon ay Dios, at binigyan niya kami ng liwanag; talian ninyo ang hain ng mga panali, sa makatuwid baga'y sa mga tila sungay ng dambana.
28 [Yahweh], you are the God whom I [worship], and I will praise you! You are my God, and I will tell [everyone] that you are great!
Ikaw ay aking Dios, at magpapasalamat ako sa iyo: ikaw ay aking Dios, aking ibubunyi ka.
29 Thank Yahweh, because he does good things [for us] He will faithfully love [us] forever.
Oh mangagpasalamat kayo sa Panginoon, sapagka't siya'y mabuti: sapagka't ang kaniyang kagandahang-loob ay magpakailan man.
