Psalms 19
1 [When people look at everything that] God [has placed in] the skies, they can see that he is very great; they can see the great things that he has created.
Ang kalangitan ay nagpapahayag ng kaluwalhatian ng Dios; at ipinakikilala ng kalawakan ang gawa ng kaniyang kamay.
2 Day after day [it is as though the sun] proclaims [the glory of God], and night after night [it is as though the moon and stars] say that they know [that God made them].
Sa araw-araw ay nagbabadya ng pananalita, at sa gabi-gabi ay nagpapakilala ng kaalaman.
3 They do not really speak; they do not say any words. There is no voice [from them] for anyone to hear.
Walang pananalita o wika man; ang kanilang tinig ay hindi marinig.
4 But what they declare [about God] goes throughout the world, and [even people who live in] the most distant/remote places on earth can know it. The sun is in the skies where God placed it [MET];
Ang kanilang pangungusap ay lumaganap sa buong lupa, at ang kanilang mga salita ay hanggang sa wakas ng sanglibutan. Sa kanila inilagay niya ang tabernakulo na ukol sa araw,
5 it rises each morning like a bridegroom [who is happy] as he comes out of his bedroom after his wedding. It is like a strong athlete who is very eager to start running in a race.
Na gaya ng kasintahang lalake na lumalabas mula sa kaniyang silid. At nagagalak na gaya ng malakas na tao na tatakbo ng kaniyang takbo.
6 The sun rises at one side of the sky and goes across [the sky and sets on] the other side, and nothing can hide from its heat.
Ang kaniyang labasan ay mula sa wakas ng mga langit, at ang kaniyang ligid ay sa mga wakas niyaon: at walang bagay na nakukubli sa pagiinit niyaon.
7 The instructions that Yahweh has given us are perfect; they (revive us/give us new strength). We can be sure that the things that Yahweh has told us will never change, and [by learning them] people who have not been previously taught/instructed will become wise.
Ang kautusan ng Panginoon ay sakdal, na nagsasauli ng kaluluwa: ang patotoo ng Panginoon ay tunay, na nagpapapantas sa hangal.
8 Yahweh’s laws are fair/just; [when we obey them], we become joyful. The commands of Yahweh are clear, and [by reading them] [PRS] we start to understand [how God wants us to behave].
Ang mga tuntunin ng Panginoon ay matuwid, na nagpapagalak sa puso: ang utos ng Panginoon ay dalisay, na nagpapaliwanag ng mga mata.
9 It is good for people to revere Yahweh; that is something that they will do forever. What Yahweh has decided is fair, and it is always right.
Ang takot sa Panginoon ay malinis, na nananatili magpakailan man: ang mga kahatulan ng Panginoon ay katotohanan, at lubos na matuwid.
10 The things that God has decided are more valuable than gold, even the finest/purest gold. They are sweeter than honey that drips from honeycombs.
Mga pinipitang higit kay sa ginto, oo, higit kay sa maraming dalisay na ginto: lalong mainam kay sa pulot, at sa pulot-pukyutan.
11 Furthermore, [by reading them] I learn [what things are good to do and what things are evil], and they promise a great reward to [us who] obey them.
Higit dito'y sa pamamagitan ng mga iyo'y mapagpapaunahan ang iyong lingkod: sa pagiingat ng mga yaon ay may dakilang ganting-pala.
12 But there is no one who can know all his errors [RHQ]; so Yahweh, forgive me for these things which I do that I do not realize are wrong.
Sinong makasisiyasat ng kaniyang mga kamalian? Paliwanagan mo ako sa mga kubling kamalian.
13 Keep me from doing things that I know are wrong; do not let my sinful desires control me. If you do that, I will no longer be guilty for committing such sins, and I will not commit the great sin [of rebelling terribly] against you.
Italikod mo rin ang iyong lingkod sa mga kapalaluang sala: huwag mong papagtaglayin ang mga yaon ng kapangyarihan sa akin: kung magkagayo'y magiging matuwid ako, at magiging malinis ako sa malaking pagsalangsang.
14 O Yahweh, you are [like] an [overhanging] rock [MET] under which I can be safe; you are the one who protects me. I hope/desire that the things that I say and what I think will [always] please you.
Maging kalugodlugod nawa ang mga salita ng aking bibig, at ang pagbubulay ng aking puso sa iyong paningin, Oh Panginoon, na aking malaking bato, at aking manunubos.
