Psalms 78
1 My friends, listen to what I am going to teach you; pay careful attention [IDM] to what I say.
ECUNGOG, O taotaojo, y tinagojo: na inecungog ni y talanganmo y sinangan y pachotto.
2 I am going to give you some sayings that wise people have said. They will be sayings about things that happened long ago, things that were difficult to understand [MET],
Bae jubaba y pachotto gui acomparasion: bae jusangan sinangan na gui jemjom gui ampmam na tiempo.
3 things that we have heard and known previously, things that our parents and grandparents told us.
Ayosija ni y injingog yan y intingo, yan y tatanmame ni jasanganejam.
4 We will tell these things to our children [LIT], and we will also tell to our grandchildren [about] Yahweh’s power and the glorious/great things that he has done.
Ti innafanatog sija guinin y famaguonñija, masangangane y generasion ni y manmamamaela ni y tinina sija gui Señot, yan y minetgotña yan y mannamanman na chechoña ni y jachogüe.
5 He gave laws and commandments to the Israeli people, [those who are the descendants of] Jacob [DOU], and he told our ancestors to teach them to their children
Sa güiya munacajulo y testimonio gui as Jacob, yan japolo tinago guiya Israel, ni y janatungo sija y famaguonñija.
6 in order that their children would [also] know them and then they would teach them to their children.
Para ujatungo y generasion ni y manmamamaela, y famaguonja ni y finañagonñija; ni y ufangajulo ya ujasangane y famaguonñija.
7 In that way, they also would trust in God, and not forget the things that he has done; instead, they would obey his commandments.
Para usiña japolo y ninanggañija gui as Yuus, ya ti ufanmalefa ni y checho Yuus, lao jaadaje y tinagoña sija.
8 They would not be like their ancestors, who were very stubborn and kept rebelling [against God]; they did not continue firmly trusting in God, and they did not worship only him.
Ya chañija fanaegüigüije y tatañija; un generasion ni managuaguat yan ti manmalago manmanosgue: y generasion ni y ti japolo y corasonñija gui tinas, yan ayo na espirituñija y ti manfitme gui as Yuus.
9 [The soldiers of] the tribe of Ephraim had bows [and arrows] but they ran away [from their enemies] on the day that they fought a battle with their enemies.
Y famaguon Efraim, guaja atmas yan manmañule y atcos sija, manalo tate gui jaanen y guera.
10 They did not do what they had agreed with God that they would do; they refused to obey his laws.
Ti jaadaje y traton Yuus, ya ti manmalago na ufanmamocat gui tinagoña.
11 They forgot what he had done; they forgot about the miracles that they had seen him perform.
Ya manmalefa ni y chechoña, yan y ninamanmanña ni y manfinanue sija.
12 While our ancestors were watching, God performed miracles in the area around Zoan [city] in Egypt.
Namanman na güinaja finatinasña gui menan y tatañija, gui tano Egipto, gui fangualuan Soan.
13 [Then] he caused the [Red] Sea to divide, causing the water [on each side] to pile up like a wall, with the result that [our ancestors] walked through it [on dry ground].
Jadebide y tase ya janafanmalofan gui inanaco sija todo; yan janafañaga y janom taegüije y monton.
14 He led them by a [bright] cloud during the day and by a fiery light during the night.
Ya y jaane janafanenesgaegaejonja ni y mapagajes; yan todo puenge y finañila y guafe.
15 He split rocks open in the desert, giving to our ancestors plenty of water from deep inside the earth.
Japanag y acho gue desierto, ya janae sija na ufanguinem taegüije na jumuyong guinin y dangculon tinadong.
16 He caused a stream of water to flow from the rock; the water flowed like a river [DOU].
Ya mañule minilalag locue guinin y acho, yan janafalalago y janom taegüije y sadog.
17 But [our ancestors] continued to sin against God; in the desert they rebelled against the one who is greater than any other god.
Lao trabia sisigueja mas isagüegüe, ya manmanembeste contra Gueftaquilo gui desierto.
18 By demanding that God give them the food that they desired, they tried to find out if he would always do what they requested him to do.
Ya sija jatienta si Yuus gui corasonñija, yan mangagagao catne pot y güinaeyañija.
19 They insulted God by saying, “We don’t think he can supply food for us [here] in this desert!
Magajet na sija manguentos contra si Yuus; ilegñija: Ada siña si Yuus jafamaulequejit lamasa gui desierto?
20 [It is true that] he struck the rock, with the result that water gushed/flowed out, [but] (can he also provide bread and meat for [us], his people?/we doubt that he can also provide bread and meat for us, his people.)” [RHQ]
Sa, estagüe, na anae japanag y acho, manjuyong y janom, ya y minilalag manmachuchuda. Ada siña güe manae pan locue? umafamauleg catne para y taotaoña?
21 So, when Yahweh heard that, he became very angry, and he sent a fire to burn up [some of] his Israeli [people]. [MTY, DOU]
Enao mina anae jajungog este, y Señot ninabubo: ya umasonggue y guafe contra as Jacob, yan y linalalo locue cajulo contra Israel;
22 [He did that] because they did not trust in him, and they did not believe that he would rescue them.
Sa ti jajonggue si Yuus, yan ti jaangoco sija gui satbasionña.
23 But God spoke to the sky above them; he commanded it to open [like] a door,
Lao güiya tumago y mapagajes guinin y sanjilo; yan jababa y pettan langet.
24 and [then food] fell down like rain, [food which they named] ‘manna’; God gave them grain from (heaven/the sky).
Yan janauchan papa y mana gui jiloñija para ujacano, yan janae sija ni y maies y langet.
25 [So] the people ate the food that angels eat, [and] God gave to them all the manna that they wanted.
Y taotao cumano y na y manmetgot: güiya numae sija catne para ufanjaspog.
26 [Later], he caused the wind to blow from the east, and by his power he also sent wind from the south,
Jatago y manglo sancatan na ufanguaefe gui jalom y langet: yan pot y ninasiñaña jachachalane y manglo sanjaya.
27 and the wind brought birds which were as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore.
Janauchan catne locue gui jiloñija taegüije y petbos; yan y pajaro ni gaepapa taegüije inae gui tase;
28 God caused those birds to fall [dead] in the middle of (their camp)/the area where the people had put up their tents. [There were dead birds] all around their tents.
Ya japolo ayo sija na ufanbasnag gui entalo y campoñija, ya gui oriyan y sagañija.
29 [So] the people [cooked the birds and] ate the meat and their stomachs were full, because God had given them what they wanted.
Ya sija jacano, ya mangosjaspog sija; sa güiya numae sija ni y tinangañiñija.
30 But before they had eaten all that they wanted, and while they were still eating it,
Lao ti janajanao guiya sija y tinangañija; lao estabaja trabia y catneñija gui jalom y pachotñija,
31 God was [still] very angry with them, and he caused their strongest men to die; he got rid of [many of] the finest [young] Israeli men.
Ya y binibon Yuus mato gui jiloñija, ya japuno y mas manyomog guiya sija, yan jayute papa y patgon na taotao sija guiya Israel.
32 In spite of all that, the people continued to sin; in spite of all the miracles that God had performed, they still did not trust that he [would take care of them].
Lao contodo este, sigueja di maaiisao trabia: yan ti majonggue y mamnamanman na chochoña.
33 So, he caused their lives to end as quickly as a puff of wind ends; they died when disasters suddenly struck them.
Ya pot este na y jaaneñija janafanlinachae ni y banidá; yan y sacanñija gui minaañao.
34 When God caused [some of] them to die, [the others] turned to God; they repented and earnestly asked God [to save them].
Ya anae japuno sija, ayo nae manafaesen pot güiya yan jabira sija ya maaligao guse si Yuus.
35 They remembered that God is [like] a huge rock ledge [under which they would be safe] [MET], and that he, who was greater than any other god, is the one who protected/rescued them.
Yan jajaso na si Yuus y achoñija, yan y Gueftaquilo na Yuus y Satbadotñija.
36 But they [tried to] deceive God by what they said [MTY]; their words [MTY] were [all] lies.
Achogja ujafaande güe ni y pachotñija yan ujadague ni y jilañija.
37 They were not loyal to him; they disregarded/ignored the agreement that he had made with them.
Sa y corasonñija ti tunas guiya güiya: ni ufanfitme gui tratuña.
38 But God was merciful to his people. He forgave them for having sinned and did not get rid of them. Many times he refrained from becoming angry [with them] and restrained from furiously/severely [punishing them] [MTY].
Lao güiya, bula minaase jaasie ni y tinaelayeñija, yan ti jayuyulang sija: magajet, megae na tiempo nae jabira y linalaloña, yan ti jajatsa julo y binibuña.
39 He remembered/considered that they were only humans who die; they [disappear quickly] [SIM], like a wind that blows by and then is gone.
Sa jajaso na sija catneja; y manglo na malofan ya mapos ya ti mamaela talo.
40 Many times our ancestors rebelled against God in the desert and caused him to become very sad.
Cuanto biaje manmanembeste contra güiya gui jalomtano yan manatriste güe gui desierto!
41 Many times they did evil things, to find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them]. They frequently caused the holy God of Israel to become disgusted/sad.
Ya manalo tate ya matienta si Yuus; ya macase y Santosgüe guiya Israel.
42 They forgot about his [great] power, and they (forgot/did not think) about the time when he rescued them from their enemies.
Ya ti jajaso y canaeña; ni jaane anae ninafanlibre gui contrario.
43 They forgot about when he performed many miracles in the area near Zoan [city] in Egypt.
Ni y pineloña na señatña guiya Egipto: yan y ninamanmanña gui fangualuan Soan:
44 He caused the [Nile] River (OR, their sources of water) to become [red like] blood, with the result that the people of Egypt had no water to drink.
Yan jatulaeca y Sadog janajâgâ; yan y minilalag para chañija fanguiguimen.
45 He sent among the people of Egypt swarms of flies that bit them, and he sent frogs that ate up everything.
Janae megae na lalo para ufanquinano; yan rana sija para ufanyinilang.
46 He sent locusts to eat their crops and the other things that grew in their fields.
Janae y ilo oruga ni y aumentan tano; ya y finachochoñija y apacha.
47 He sent hail that destroyed the grapevines, and sent frost that ruined the figs.
Jayulang y fangualuanñija ubas ni y ichan grano; yan y trongco igos sija ni y hielo.
48 He sent hail that killed their cattle and sent lightning that killed their sheep and cows.
Japolo y gañija gâgâ locue gui papa y ichan grano, ya y manadan gañija gui minaepen lamlam.
49 Because God was fiercely angry with the people of Egypt, he caused them to be very distressed. The disasters that struck them were like a group of angels that destroyed [everything].
Jayute gui jiloñija y fijom na binibuña; binibo, linalalo, yan chinatsaga; y manadan manaelaye na angjet sija.
50 He did not lessen his being angry [with them], and he did not (spare their lives/prevent them from dying); he sent a (plague/serious illness) that killed [many of] them.
Mamatinas chalan para y linalaloña; ya ti jachoma y antiñija guinin y finatae, lao japolo y linâlâñija gui peste.
51 He also caused all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt to die.
Ya japuno todo y finenena na finañagon guiya Egipto, y mas magas naminetgotñija gui jalom y tiendan Cam!
52 Then he led his people out [of Egypt] like [a shepherd leads] his sheep [SIM], and he guided them [while they walked] through the desert.
Lao chalane juyong y taotaoña taegüije y quinilo sija, yan jaesgagaejon sija gui desierto taegüije y manadan, gâgâ.
53 He led them safely, and they were not afraid, but their enemies were drowned in the sea.
Ya jachule sija gui seguro, ya sija ti manmaañao: lao y tase tumampe y enimigoñija.
54 [Later] he brought them to [Canaan], his sacred land, to [Zion] Hill (OR, the hilly area) and by his power [MTY] he enabled them to conquer [the people who were living there].
Ya jacone sija asta y oriyan y sinantos na sagaña, güineja na ogso ni y guinanan y agapa na canaeña.
55 He expelled the people-groups while his people were advancing; he allotted part of the land for [each tribe] to possess, and he gave to the Israeli people the houses of those people who had been expelled.
Jayute juyong y nasion locue gui menañija, yan jafacae guiya sija y erensiañija ya jaraya, ya janafañaga y tribon Israel gui jalom y tiendañija.
56 However, the Israeli people rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god, and they did many evil things to see if they could do those things without God punishing them, and they did not obey his commandments.
Lao sija trabia jatietentaja, yan manmanembebesteja contra y Gueftaquilo na Yuus, yan ti jaadaje y tinagoña.
57 Instead, like their ancestors did, they rebelled against God and (were not loyal to/did not faithfully [obey]) him; they were as [unreliable as] a crooked arrow [that does not go straight] [SIM].
Lao manalo tate, yan manmafatinas dinague taegüije y tatañija: ya manmabira sija gui un banda taegüije y dacon na atco.
58 Because they [worshiped] carved images of their gods on the tops of hills, they caused God to become angry [DOU].
Sa macase güe ya mannalalalo pot y sagañija ni taquilo ya masuog güe ya manafanugo ni y imageñija ni tinaga.
59 He saw what they were doing and became very angry, so he rejected the Israeli people.
Anae jajungog este si Yuus, ninabubo, yan jagoschatlie iya Israel.
60 He no longer appeared to them at Shiloh in the tent where he had lived among them.
Ya pot ayo na jadingo y tabetnaculo guiya Silo, yan y tienda ni y japolo gui entalo taotao sija.
61 He allowed their enemies to capture [the sacred chest], [which was the symbol of] his power and his glory.
Ya janae ni y minetgotña y cautibo, ya y minalagña gui canae y contrario.
62 Because he was angry with his people, he allowed them to be killed [MTY] [by their enemies].
Janae y espada ni y taotaoña: yan ninabubo ni y erensiaña.
63 Young men were killed in battles, with the result that the young women had no one to marry.
Linachae ni y guafe y manpatgon na lalaje; ya y manpatgon na famalaoan taya cantan umasagua.
64 [Many] priests were killed by [their enemies’] swords, and (the people did not allow the priests’ widows/the priests’ widows were not allowed) to mourn.
Ya y mamaleñija manmodong gui espada; ya y manbiuda sija ti ninafantriste.
65 Later, [it was as though] the Lord awoke from sleeping; he was like a strong man who (became stimulated/felt that he was strong) by (OR, became sober after) [drinking] a lot of wine [SIM].
Ya y Señot magmata taegüije y uno ni y guinin mamaego, yan taegüije y matatñga na taotao ni y ninaaagang pot rason di y bino.
66 He pushed their enemies back and caused them to be [very] ashamed for a long time [HYP] [because they had been defeated].
Ya japuno y enimiguña sija ni y mañasaga gui santate: yan japolo sija güi taejinecog na minamajlao.
67 [But] he did not set up his tent where [the people of] the tribe of Ephraim lived; he did not choose their area [to do that].
Ademas jarechasa y tabetnaculo gui as José, ya ti jaayeg y tribon Efraim.
68 Instead he chose [the area where] the tribe of Judah [lived]; he chose Zion Hill, which he loves.
Lao jaayeg tribon Juda, ayo ogso Sion ni y güinaeyaña.
69 He [decided to have] his temple built [there], high up, like [his home in] heaven; he caused it to be firm, [and intended that] his temple would last forever, like the earth.
Ya jafatinas y sinantos na sagaña taegüije y manaquilo na sagayan sija, taegüije y tano na japlanta para taejinecog.
70 He chose David, who served him [faithfully], and took him from the pastures
Jaayeg si David locue na tentagoña, yan jacone güe guinin y quelat y quinilo,
71 where he was taking care of his [father’s] sheep, and appointed him to be the leader [MET] of the Israeli people, the people who belong to God.
Chinile güe ni guinin jatatitiye y manmanago na quinilo ya jacone para unafañocho y taotaoña gui as Jacob yan y erensiaña guiya Israel.
72 David took care of the Israeli people sincerely and wholeheartedly, and guided them skillfully/wisely.
Ya taegüije janafañocho sija segun y tininas y corasonña; yan jaesgaejon sija pot y tiningon y canaeña.
