Psalms 147
1 Praise Yahweh! It is good to sing to praise our God. It is a delightful thing to do and the right thing to do.
Idaydayawyo ni Yahweh, ta nasayaat nga agkanta kadagiti pammadayaw iti Diostayo, makaay-ayo ken rumbeng laeng ti panagdayaw.
2 [Jerusalem was destroyed, but] Yahweh is [enabling us to] build Jerusalem again. He is bringing back the people who were taken [to Babylonia].
Bangbangonen ni Yahweh ti Jerusalem, um-ummongenna dagiti naiwara a tattao ti Israel.
3 He enables those who were very discouraged to be encouraged again; [it is as though] they have wounds and he bandages them.
Ag-agasanna dagiti naburak ti pusona ken bedbedbedanna dagiti sugatda.
4 He has determined how many stars there will be, and he gives names to all of them.
Bilbilangenna dagiti bituen, ket panpanagananna amin ida.
5 Yahweh is great and very powerful, and no one can measure how much he understands.
Naindaklan ti Apotayo, ken nakakaskasdaaw ti pannakabalinna, saan a matukod ti pannakaawatna.
6 Yahweh lifts up those who have been oppressed, and he throws the wicked down to the ground.
Itagtag-ay ni Yahweh dagiti maidaddadanes, tumtumbaenna dagiti nadangkes iti daga.
7 Thank Yahweh while you are singing to him to praise him; on the harps, play music to our God.
Kantaanyo ni Yahweh nga addaan ti panagyaman, agkantakayo kadagiti pammadayaw iti Diostayo babaen iti arpa.
8 He covers the sky with clouds, [and then] he sends rain to the earth and causes grass to grow on the hills.
Ab-abbonganna ti langit kadagiti ulep ken mangisagsagana ti tudo nga agpaay iti daga, a mangpatubo iti ruot kadagiti banbantay.
9 He gives to animals the food that they [need], and gives food to young crows/birds when they cry out [because they are hungry].
Mangmangted isuna iti taraon kadagiti ayup ken kadagiti sibong ti wak inton umarikiakda.
10 He is not pleased with strong horses or with men who can run [MTY] fast.
Saan a maragsakan isuna iti pigsa ti kabalio, saan a may-ayo isuna iti pigsa kadagiti saka ti maysa a tao.
11 Instead, what pleases him are those who revere him, those who confidently expect him to continue to faithfully love them.
Maay-ayo ni Yahweh kadagiti agraem kenkuana, dagiti mangnamnama iti kinapudnona iti tulagna.
12 [You people of] [APO] Jerusalem, praise Yahweh! Praise your God!
Idaydayawmo ni Yahweh, O Jerusalem, idaydayawmo ti Diosmo, O Sion.
13 He [guards your city] by keeping its gates strong. He blesses the people who live there.
Ta palpalagdaenna dagiti ruanganmo, ken benbendisionanna dagiti annakmo.
14 He protects the borders [of your country, so that enemies from other countries cannot attack you]. He gives you plenty of very good wheat/grain to eat.
Mangmangyeg isuna iti panagrang-ay iti uneg dagiti beddengmo, penpennekennaka iti kasasayaatan a trigo.
15 He commands what he wants to be done on the earth, and his words quickly come to the place to which he sends them.
It-itedna ti bilinna iti daga, napartak nga agtartaray dagiti bilinna.
16 He sends snow which [covers the ground] like a white wool blanket [SIM], and he scatters frost [on the ground] like [wind scatters] ashes [SIM].
Ar-aramidenna ti niebe a kas iti ules a naaramid iti buok ti karnero, iwarwarasna ti yelo a kas kadagiti dapo.
17 He sends hail down like (pebbles/tiny stones); [when that happens], (it is very difficult to endure because the air becomes very cold./who can endure because the air becomes very cold?) [RHQ]
Iwarwarasna ti uraro a kasla kadagiti maregmeg, siasino ti makaibtur ti lam-ek nga iyegna?
18 [But] he commands the wind to blow, and it blows. [Then the hail] melts and [the water] flows [into the streams].
It-itedna ti bilinna ken matunawda, pagpulpul-oyenna ti angin ken pagay-ayusenna ti danum.
19 He sent his message to [the descendants of] Jacob; [he tells to his] Israeli people the laws and regulations that he had decreed.
Impakaammona ti saona kenni Jacob, dagiti alagadenna, ken dagiti nalinteg a pangngeddengna iti Israel.
20 He has not done that for any other nation; the other nations do not know his laws. Praise Yahweh!
Saanna nga inaramid daytoy iti sabali a nasion, ken no maipapan kadagiti pangngeddengna, saanda nga ammo. Idaydayawyo ni Yahweh.
