Psalms 44

1 God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.

Narinig namin ng aming mga pakinig, Oh Dios, isinaysay sa amin ng aming mga magulang, kung anong gawa ang iyong ginawa sa kanilang mga kaarawan, ng mga kaarawan ng una.

2 [They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].

Iyong itinaboy ng iyong kamay ang mga bansa, nguni't itinatag mo (sila) iyong dinalamhati ang mga bayan, nguni't iyong pinangalat (sila)

3 It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.

Sapagka't hindi nila tinamo ang lupain na pinakaari sa pamamagitan ng kanilang sariling tabak, ni iniligtas man (sila) ng kanilang sariling kamay: kundi ng iyong kanan, at ng iyong bisig, at ng liwanag ng iyong mukha, sapagka't iyong nilingap (sila)

4 You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.

Ikaw ang aking Hari, Oh Dios: magutos ka ng kaligtasan sa Jacob.

5 It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.

Dahil sa iyo'y itutulak namin ang aming mga kaaway: sa iyong pangalan ay yayapakan namin (sila) na nagsisibangon laban sa amin.

6 I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.

Sapagka't hindi ako titiwala sa aking busog, ni ililigtas man ako ng aking tabak.

7 No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].

Nguni't iniligtas mo kami sa aming mga kaaway, at inilagay mo (sila) sa kahihiyan na nangagtatanim sa amin.

8 We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.

Sa Dios ay naghahambog kami buong araw, at mangagpapasalamat kami sa iyong pangalan magpakailan man. (Selah)

9 But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.

Nguni't ngayo'y itinakuwil mo kami, at inilagay mo kami sa kasiraang puri; at hindi ka lumalabas na kasama ng aming mga hukbo.

10 You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.

Iyong pinatatalikod kami sa kaaway: at silang nangagtatanim sa amin ay nagsisisamsam ng sa ganang kanilang sarili.

11 You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].

Iyong ibinigay kaming gaya ng mga tupa na pinaka pagkain; at pinangalat mo kami sa mga bansa.

12 [It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!

Iyong ipinagbibili ang iyong bayan na walang bayad, at hindi mo pinalago ang iyong kayamanan sa pamamagitan ng kanilang halaga.

13 People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.

Ginawa mo kaming katuyaan sa aming mga kapuwa, isang kasabihan at kadustaan nila na nangasa palibot namin.

14 They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].

Iyong ginawa kaming kawikaan sa gitna ng mga bansa, at kaugaan ng ulo sa gitna ng mga bayan.

15 All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.

Buong araw ay nasa harap ko ang aking kasiraang puri, at ang kahihiyan ng aking mukha ay tumakip sa akin,

16 I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.

Dahil sa tinig niya na dumuduwahagi at tumutungayaw; dahil sa kaaway at sa manghihiganti.

17 All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].

Lahat ng ito'y dumating sa amin; gayon ma'y hindi namin kinalimutan ka, ni gumawa man kami na may karayaan sa iyong tipan.

18 We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].

Ang aming puso ay hindi tumalikod, ni ang amin mang mga hakbang ay humiwalay sa iyong daan;

19 But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].

Na kami ay iyong lubhang nilansag sa dako ng mga chakal, at tinakpan mo kami ng lilim ng kamatayan.

20 If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,

Kung aming nilimot ang pangalan ng aming Dios, O aming iniunat ang aming mga kamay sa ibang dios;

21 you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.

Hindi ba sisiyasatin ito ng Dios? Sapagka't nalalaman niya ang mga lihim ng puso.

22 But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.

Oo, dahil sa iyo ay pinapatay kami buong araw; kami ay nabilang na parang mga tupa sa patayan.

23 [So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!

Ikaw ay gumising, bakit ka natutulog, Oh Panginoon? Ikaw ay bumangon, huwag mo kaming itakuwil magpakailan man.

24 Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?

Bakit mo ikinukubli ang iyong mukha, at kinalilimutan mo ang aming kadalamhatian at aming kapighatian?

25 We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.

Sapagka't ang aming kaluluwa ay nakasubsob sa alabok: ang aming katawan ay nadidikit sa lupa.

26 Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!

Ikaw ay bumangon upang kami ay tulungan, at tubusin mo kami dahil sa iyong kagandahang-loob.
