Psalms 78
1 My friends, listen to what I am going to teach you; pay careful attention [IDM] to what I say.
Rempima huramisua zana vahe'nimota antahiho, nanekema tamasmisuana tamagesa ante'neta antahiho.
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],
Na'ankure nagra mago fronka ke tamasamigahue. Rempima huramiga zantamima korapama oku'ama me'nea zantmi rempi huramigahue.
3 things that we have heard and known previously, things that our parents and grandparents told us.
Kanihe'ma ko'ma antahi'nona kanihe tamasamigahue, ko'ma tagehe'mozama hurasmi anante anante'ma hu'za e'naza kanihe tamasamigahue.
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.
Hagi ama ana tamage nanekea, mofavretirera frara okigosunanki, Ra Anumzamo'ma hihamu hankave'anuti'ma ruzahu ruzahu kaguva zantmima erifore'ma hu'nea zantamina, menima fore'ma nehaza vahetmina zamasamigahune.
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
Na'ankure Agra Jekopuna trake'a nemino, kasege'a Israeli vahera zami'ne. Ana nehuno tagehe'mofonkura, mofavre nagatamia ama ana nanekea rempi huzamiho huno zamasmi'ne.
6 in order that their children would [also] know them and then they would teach them to their children.
Ana hinkeno henkama fore hu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mo'za, ama ana nanekea antahine'za, mofavrezmia rempi hu'za zamasami vava hu'za viho.
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.
E'ina hanage'za fore hu anante anante'ma hu'za vanaza vahe'mo'za Anumzamofonkura amuhara nehu'za, kasegea amage nente'za, ruzahu ruzahu kaguva zama hu'nea zankura zamagera okanigahaze.
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.
E'ina nehu'za zamagehemo'zama zamagu'ama eri hanavemati'naza zana nosu'za, hara renonte'za, kea antahi'za avarari fatgo nosu'za, zamagu'a Anumzamofona omi'nazanknara osugahaze.
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.
Hagi Efraemi sondia vahe'mo'za ati kevea zamazampi eri'nazanagi, ha'ma hazafina zamage'na humi'za hara osu koro fre'naze.
10 They did not do what they had agreed with God that they would do; they refused to obey his laws.
Zamagrama huhagerafi huvempa kema Anumzanema hu'nazankea runetagre'za, kasege'ama avarari zankura zamavaresra hu'naze.
11 They forgot what he had done; they forgot about the miracles that they had seen him perform.
Anumzamo'ma maka ruzahu ruzahu zama zamaveri'ma hu'nea zankura zamagenekani'za, kagu'vazama hu'nea zankura zamagesa ontahi'naze.
12 While our ancestors were watching, God performed miracles in the area around Zoan [city] in Egypt.
Hagi Zoani kaziga Isipi mopafina zamafahe'mofo zamavufina, Agra ruzahukna kaguvaza erifore hu'ne.
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].
Na'ankure Agra hagerina amu'nompinti eri ataneno, kana eri fore huno zamavreno kantu kaziga vigeno, timo'a emare hihi huno mareri'ne.
14 He led them by a [bright] cloud during the day and by a fiery light during the night.
Hagi masafi'na hamponteti kana zamaveri huno zamavareno nevuno, maka hanimpina teve anefanu remsa huzmanteno zamavareno vu'ne.
15 He split rocks open in the desert, giving to our ancestors plenty of water from deep inside the earth.
Ka'ma kopina Agra havea rutaneno tina zamigeno, timo'a krohupeno ege'za ne'naze.
16 He caused a stream of water to flow from the rock; the water flowed like a river [DOU].
Hagi Agra neone tintamina erifore higeno, havefintira hanatino tirantima eviaza huno enevie.
17 But [our ancestors] continued to sin against God; in the desert they rebelled against the one who is greater than any other god.
Hianagi ana hagege ka'ma kopina amnea omani'za kumira hu'za ne-eza, marerirfa Anumzamofona hara rente'za e'naze.
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.
Zamagra zamagu'areti hu'za Anumzamofona rehe'za nege'za, zamavesi zmavesima nehia nezankura Anumzamofona antahige'naze.
19 They insulted God by saying, “We don’t think he can supply food for us [here] in this desert!
Ana nehu'za Anumzamofona huhaviza hunente'za amanage hu'naze, Anumzamo'a Agra amne hagege kokampintira ne'zana eri fore huramigahio? hu'za hu'naze.
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]
Tamage Agra havea rutanegeno timo'a krohupeno evuno aviteno megahianagi, Agra bretine ame'anena vahe'a zamigahifi?
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]
Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma ana nanekema nentahigeno'a, arimpama ahe'zamo'a teveregeno Jekopu nagara teve krenerasegeno, mago'a Israeli vahe'mokizmia tevereti krerasage'ne.
22 [He did that] because they did not trust in him, and they did not believe that he would rescue them.
Na'ankure zamagra Anumzamofontera zamentintia nosu'za, kegava hurantegahie hu'za antahi omi'naze.
23 But God spoke to the sky above them; he commanded it to open [like] a door,
Hianagi Agra monamofonkura kafana anagio, higeno monamo'a kafana anagino erihagro hu'ne.
24 and [then food] fell down like rain, [food which they named] ‘manna’; God gave them grain from (heaven/the sky).
Mana ne'zanema nehaza ne'zana ko'ma riankna huno monafinkati herafi tregeno, monafintira witia zmige'za ne'naze.
25 [So] the people ate the food that angels eat, [and] God gave to them all the manna that they wanted.
Ankeromofo ne'za zamige'za vahe'mo'za nenazageno, nezmu'ma huga avamente Anumzamo'a rema'a ne'za zamige'za ne'naze.
26 [Later], he caused the wind to blow from the east, and by his power he also sent wind from the south,
Zage hanati kaziga zahora huntegeno monafina zahora erino enevigeno, Agra'a hihamu'areti sauti kaziga zahora azeri fatgo higeno Agra antahia kantera nevie.
27 and the wind brought birds which were as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore.
Agra monafinti ame'a atregeno eramino mopafina kugusopamo hihi huno mareriankna nehigeno, namama zmi'neana namaramimo'a rama'a hu'za hagerinkena kasepagna hu'naze.
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.
Ana namaramina Anumzamo'a higeno seli noma ki'za mani'naza amu'nompine, seli noma ki'zama nemanizafinena erami erami hu'naze.
29 [So] the people [cooked the birds and] ate the meat and their stomachs were full, because God had given them what they wanted.
Zamagrama zmanankenku'ma haza zaga Agra zamige'za nezamu hu'naze.
30 But before they had eaten all that they wanted, and while they were still eating it,
Hianagi ana ne'zana nevaga orenazageno, ana ne'zamo'a zahufa zamagipi me'nege'no,
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.
Anumzamo'a ana vahetamina tusi arimpa ahe'zmanteno hankavenentake vahezmia zamahehna hu'ne. Hagi hankavenentake Israeli nehazaveramina zamahehna hu'ne.
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].
E'inara hu'neanagi, ana vahe'mo'za ana zankura zamagesa ontahi'za kumira hu'za vu'naze. Anumzamo'ma knare eri'zama eri'nea zankura antahimi'za Agrite'ma zamentintima hu'zankura zamavaresra hu'naze.
33 So, he caused their lives to end as quickly as a puff of wind ends; they died when disasters suddenly struck them.
E'ina hazageno ame' huno zamazeri haviza hige'za amne zankna nehazageno, zamazeri koro hige'za koro hu'naze.
34 When God caused [some of] them to die, [the others] turned to God; they repented and earnestly asked God [to save them].
Hagi Anumzamo'ma agafa huno zamahema nefrige'za nege'za, maka zana netre'za ete rukrahe hu'za Anumzamofontera hanaveti'za zamentintia hu'naze. Ana nehu'za zamagu'a rukrahe hu'za Anumzamofona zamagu'areti hu'za avariri'naze.
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.
Anumzamo'a tagri fraki haveganti mani'ne hu'za zamagesa nentahi'za, Mareri Agatere Anumzana tahokeno tavre'nea nere hu'za antahi'naze.
36 But they [tried to] deceive God by what they said [MTY]; their words [MTY] were [all] lies.
Hianagi ana maka zama hu'nazana zamagiteti hu'nazanki tamage hu'za zamagu'a omi'naze. Zamagra amne zamagiteti havige hu'naze.
37 They were not loyal to him; they disregarded/ignored the agreement that he had made with them.
Zmagu'amo'a tamagea huno Anumzamofontera hankvetino omnene. Ana hige'za Anumzanema huhagerafi'naza huvempa kea kegava osu'za ru hantagi'naze.
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].
Hianagi Anumzamo'a asunku Anumzankino kumizmia atrenezmanteno, zamahe fri vagaore'ne. Rama'a knafi rimpahe'zana azenerino, zamahe vaga ore'ne.
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.
Ana nehuno vahekura amne vahetfa mani'naze huno agesa antahi'ne. Vahe'mo'za zahomo'ma evu huhu huno vuteno omeankna huza vagaregahaze.
40 Many times our ancestors rebelled against God in the desert and caused him to become very sad.
Hagi hagage kokampima mani'neza rama'a zupa Ra Anumzamofona hararenentazageno arimpa knanena mani'ne.
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.
Hagi mago'ane Ra Anumzamofona rehe'za nege'za Israeli vahe ruotge Anumzamofona rimpagna erimi vava hu'za vu'naze.
42 They forgot about his [great] power, and they (forgot/did not think) about the time when he rescued them from their enemies.
Zamagra ha' vahe'zmimofo zamazampinti'ma zamagu'ma vazi'nea hihamu'agura zamage kaninte'naze.
43 They forgot about when he performed many miracles in the area near Zoan [city] in Egypt.
Isipi mopafima ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazama erifore nehuno, Zoani kazigama knare huno mareri agatere'nea ruzahu ruzahu kaguvazama eri fore'ma hu'nea zankura zamagesa nontahizageno,
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.
Agra tirazmia eri rukrahe higeno korasege'za ana tintetira tina one'naze.
45 He sent among the people of Egypt swarms of flies that bit them, and he sent frogs that ate up everything.
Agra tusi'a kosintami huzmantege'za kregre hu'za nezamampri'zageno, hogatmi huntege'za rama'a hazenkea zami'naze.
46 He sent locusts to eat their crops and the other things that grew in their fields.
Agra neonse kenu'ene ranra kenu'ene huzmantege'za, hozazmia ne'za erihna hu'naze.
47 He sent hail that destroyed the grapevines, and sent frost that ruined the figs.
Agra ranra komopa ko atregeno waini zafa zamia ahe haviza nehigeno, neonse komopa ko atregeno, sikamo zafazmia ahe haviza hu'ne.
48 He sent hail that killed their cattle and sent lightning that killed their sheep and cows.
Hagi Agra bulimakao afuzmia ranra komopa ko atregeno zamahe nefrigeno, kopsina atregeno trazama nenaza afuzagama kegavama hu'nazana zamaheno eri vagare'ne.
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].
Agra tusi'a arimpa ahe'nezmanteno, vahe'ma zamazeri haviza hu ankero vahetamina mago'a huzmantege'za, zamazeri haviza nehu'za zamahe fri'nagura e'naze.
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.
Agra arimpa ahezamofo kana retro huno magore huno Isipi vahetmina zamagura ovazi'neanki, knazana zamino zamazeri haviza hu'ne.
51 He also caused all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt to die.
Isipi vahetmimofo nompintira ese ne' mofavreramina Agra zamahe fri'ne. Hamu nagamokizmi zamagonesa mofavreramina agra zamahe fri'ne.
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.
Hianagi Anumzamo'a Agra'a vahetmina sipisipi afutmima vugoteno avreno'ma viankna huno hagege kokampina kegve huzmante so'e huno zamavareno vu'ne.
53 He led them safely, and they were not afraid, but their enemies were drowned in the sea.
Agra'a kegava huzamanteno zamavareno vige'za zamagra korora osu'naze. Hianagi ha' vahe'zmimo'za hagerimpina ti nakri'naze.
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].
Agra ruotge'ma hu'nea mopa atupare zamavareno e'ne. Agra tamaga azantetima ha'ma huno'ma eri'nea agona kokampi zamavareno e'ne.
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.
Hagi Agra zamavugama ana mopafima mani'naza vahera zamahe kasopenetreno, ana mopa erisantihareho huno zami'ne. Ana hige'za avamente avamente hu'za refko hu'za Israeli naga nofimo'za seli nonkuma ki'za mani'naze.
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.
Hianagi zamagra Anumzamofona rehe'za nege'za, Marerirfa Anumzana ha' renente'za, kasege'a ovarari'naze.
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].
Zamagra Anumzamofona zmagena hunemi'za, zamagehemo'zama hu'nazaza hu'za Anumzamofona avarari fatgo osazageno, ati amagenamo'ma kazakiankna huno zmavu'zamava zmimo'a kazaki'naze.
58 Because they [worshiped] carved images of their gods on the tops of hills, they caused God to become angry [DOU].
Zamagra havi anumzantamimofoma mono'ma hunente'za, kumama tro husgama hunte'naza zamo Anumzamofona azeri arimpa nehe'za, havi anumzama antre'za tro'ma huntaza zanku Anumzamo'a azeri kanivea rezmante'ne.
59 He saw what they were doing and became very angry, so he rejected the Israeli people.
Hanki Anumzamo'ma ana nanekema nentahino'a tusi arimpa ahegeno, Israeli vahera amefi huzamino zamatre vagare'ne.
60 He no longer appeared to them at Shiloh in the tent where he had lived among them.
Ana nehuno Silo kumate'ma seli mono noma'afima nemaniretira atreno vu'ne. Vahe amu'nompima seli noma'afima nemaniretira atreno vu'ne.
61 He allowed their enemies to capture [the sacred chest], [which was the symbol of] his power and his glory.
Agra huhagerafi huvempage vogisia ha' vahe zamazampi antege'za eri'za kumazmirega vu'naze. Agri hihamu hankvema huvame huno me'nea zana ha' vahemoza eri'za ome antene'za ana zamofona ke amne zankna hu'naze.
62 Because he was angry with his people, he allowed them to be killed [MTY] [by their enemies].
Agra vahe'aramina ha' vahe zamazampi zamavarentege'za ha' vahe'mo'za zamahe'za kazinteti traga hu'naze. Na'ankure Agra'ama erisantiharege'za Agri ruotge vahe'ma mani'naza vahekura tusi arimpa ahezmante'ne.
63 Young men were killed in battles, with the result that the young women had no one to marry.
Kasefa nehazaveramina tevemofo neza nesazageno, kasefa mofaneramimo'zama vema erisaza vene'nea omanige'za, masinezmante'zama nehaza zagamera osu'naze.
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.
Hagi pristi vahera bainati kazinteti zamahe vagarazage'za, ana pristi vahe'mokizmi kento aneramimo'za zamasunkura hu'za zavira ote'naze.
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].
Vahe'mo'zama mase'nazafinti'ma otizaza huno Ra Anumzamo'a oti'ne. Hanave sondia ne'mo'ma hanave waini tima neteno, neginagima huno mase'nereti'ma otiankna huno oti'ne.
66 He pushed their enemies back and caused them to be [very] ashamed for a long time [HYP] [because they had been defeated].
Ha' vahe'aramina Agra zamahe panani hige'za ete freza nevazageno, zamagazema huvavama hu'are zamazeri haviza hu'ne.
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].
Hianagi Josefe nagara avesra huzmanteno nezmatreno, Efraemi naga nofi'enema mani'zankura avresra hu'ne.
68 Instead he chose [the area where] the tribe of Judah [lived]; he chose Zion Hill, which he loves.
Hianagi Juda naga huhamprino zamagrane umani'ne. Na'ankure Agra Saioni agonagu avesi'ne.
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.
E'i anante ruotgema hu'nea mono noma'a Agra kisga huno kintegeno, anagamu marerino monarega mareri'ne. Ana nehuno ana nomofo tra'ama ante'neana mopamo'ma hanavetiankna huno hanaveti'neankino mevava hugahie.
70 He chose David, who served him [faithfully], and took him from the pastures
Agra eri'za vahe'a Deviti huhamprinteno, sipisipi afu keginafinti ke higeno e'ne.
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.
Anumzamo'a Devitima avre'neana a sipisipine amima nenea anenta'aramima kegavama nehia eri'zampinti avreno Jekopu agehemofo, Ra Anumzamo'a Agra'a feno zama'agna huno huhampri'nea Israeli vahe'a kegava hu eri'zana ami'ne.
72 David took care of the Israeli people sincerely and wholeheartedly, and guided them skillfully/wisely.
Hagi Deviti'a maka agu'areti'ene maka zama tro'ma hu'are'ma antahi ani'ma hu'nea ne'kino, Israeli vahera kegava hu'ne.
