Psalms 48
1 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be greatly praised in the city where he [lives], [which is built on Zion], his sacred hill.
Naindaklan ni Yahweh ket maikari unay a mapadayawan, idiay siudad ti Diostayo iti nasantoan a bantayna.
2 That city, on a high [hill], is beautiful; it is the city where the true [God], the great king, [lives], and it causes people all over the world to rejoice [when they see it].
Napintas ti kinangatona, ti ragsak ti entero a daga, ket ti bantay Sion, ti akin-amianan a paset, ti siudad ti naindaklan nga Ari.
3 God is in the strong towers there, and he shows that he protects the people in that city.
Impakaammo ti Dios ti bagina kadagiti palasiona kas maysa a pagkamangan.
4 Many kings gathered [with their armies] to attack [that city],
Ta kitaenyo, dagiti ari ket inummongda dagiti bagbagida; naggigiddanda a limmabas.
5 but when they saw it, they were amazed; they became terrified, and ran away.
Nakitada daytoy, ket nasdaawda; naupayda, ket nagdardarasda a pimmanaw.
6 Because they were very afraid, they trembled like a woman who is about to give birth to a child;
Panagbuteng ti nanglapped kadakuada sadiay, sakit a kas iti marikna iti agpaspasikal a babai.
7 they shook [like] ships sailing from Tarshish are shaken by a strong wind.
Babaen iti angin a naggapu ti daya, dinadaelmo dagiti bangka a naaramid manipud Tarsis.
8 We had heard [that this city is glorious], and now we have seen that it is. It is the city in which Yahweh, the almighty one, [lives]. It is the city which God will preserve/protect forever.
Kas nangngeganmi, isu ti nakitami iti siudad ni Yahweh a mannakabalin amin, iti siudad ti Diostayo; salimetmetanna daytoy iti agnanyon. (Selah)
9 God, [here] in your temple we think about how you faithfully love us.
Pinanunotmi ti kinapudnom iti tulagmo, O Dios, iti tengnga ti templom.
10 You [MTY] are famous and (are praised/people praise you) all over the earth, because you rule powerfully [MTY] and justly.
Kas iti naganmo, O Dios, kastanto met ti pannakaidayawmo agingga kadagiti nagpatinggaan ti daga; ti makannawan nga imam ket napnoan kinalinteg.
11 The people who live near Zion Hill should be happy! The people in [all] the cities [MTY] in Judah should rejoice because you judge people fairly.
Agragsak koma ti Bantay Sion, ken agrag-o koma dagiti annak a babbai ti Juda gapu kadagiti nalinteg a pangngeddengmo.
12 [You Israeli people should] walk around Zion [Hill] and count the towers there;
Likawenyo ti Bantay Sion, likmutenyo isuna; bilangenyo dagiti torrena;
13 notice the walls there and examine the forts in order that you can tell about them to your children.
kitaenyo a naimbag dagiti bakudna, ken kitaenyo dagiti palasiona tapno maibagayonto daytoy iti sumaruno a kaputotan.
14 [Say to them], “This is [the city that belongs to] our God, [the one who lives] forever; he will guide us all of our lives.”
Ta daytoy a Dios ket isu ti Diostayo iti agnanayon ken awan patinggana; isuna ti mangidalanto kadatayo agingga iti patay.
