II Samuel 22
1 Kinanta ni David ti linaon daytoy a kanta kenni Yahweh iti aldaw a panangispal ni Yahweh kenkuana manipud iti ima dagiti amin a kabusorna, ken manipud iti ima ni Saul.
After Yahweh had rescued David from Saul and his other enemies, David sang a song to Yahweh.
2 Nagkararag isuna, “Ni Yahweh ti dakkel a bato a sarikedkedko, ti mangispal kaniak.
[This is what] he sang: Yahweh, you are like a [huge overhanging] rock [under which I can hide] [MET]; you are like my fortress, and you rescue me.
3 Ti Dios ti dakkel a bato a sarikedkedko. Kumamkamangak kenkuana. Isuna ti salaknibko, ti sara iti pannakaisalakanko, ti kalasagko ken ti pagkamkamangak, ti mangisalakan kaniak manipud iti kinaranggas.
Yahweh, you protect me; you are like a shield; you are the powerful one [MET] who saves me; you are like a place where I (find refuge/am safe). You save me from those who act violently toward me.
4 Umawagak kenni Yahweh, a maikari a padayawan, ket maisalakanakto manipud kadagiti kabusorko.
I call out to you, Yahweh; you deserve to be praised, and you rescue me from my enemies.
5 Gapu ta linikmotnak dagiti dalluyon ni patay. Kasla riningbawannak ti napegges a danum ti kinaawan serserbi.
“almost died [PRS]; it was like [MET] a huge wave had crashed over me, and almost destroyed me like a flood.
I thought that I would die; it was as though death wrapped ropes around me; it was as though I was in a trap where I would surely die. [PRS, MET] (Sheol h7585)
7 Iti pannakariribukko immawagak kenni Yahweh; immawagak iti Diosko; nangngegna ti timekko manipud iti templona, ket nakadanun kadagiti lapayagna ti panagkiddawko iti tulong.
But when I was (very distressed/in great trouble), I called out to you, Yahweh; I cried out to you, my God. And from your temple you heard me; you listened when I called to you to help me.
8 Ket naggingined ti daga ken nagunggon. Nagunggon ken nagindayon dagiti pundasion dagiti langlangit, gapu ta nakapungtot ti Dios.
“Then [it was as though] the earth quaked and shook; [it was as though] the foundations that ([held up/supported]) the sky trembled, because you were angry.
9 Rimmuar ti asuk manipud kadagiti abut ti agongna, ken rimmuar ti gumilgil-ayab nga apuy iti ngiwatna. Napasgedan dagiti beggang babaen iti daytoy.
[It was as though] smoke poured out of your nostrils and burning coals and fire that burns everything came out of your mouth.
10 Linuktanna dagiti langlangit ket bimmaba isuna, ket adda napuskol a kinasipnget iti babaen dagiti sakana.
You tore open the sky and came down; there was a thick dark [cloud] under your feet.
11 Nagsakay isuna iti kerubin ket timmayab. Nakitada nga agtaytayab isuna a nakalugan kadagiti payyak ti angin.
You rode [through the sky] on a winged creature; the wind enabled you to travel [swiftly] [MET], like a bird.
12 Ket pinagbalinna ti sipnget a kasla tolda iti aglawlawna, agur-urnong iti napigsa a tudo dagiti ulep iti tangatang.
The darkness surrounded you, like a blanket; thick clouds that were full of water also surrounded you.
13 Manipud iti kimat iti sangoananna ket natinnag dagiti dumardarang a beggang.
Out of the lightning in front of you fire from burning coals flamed.
14 Naggurruod ni Yahweh manipud kadagiti langlangit. Nagpukkaw ti Kangangatoan.
Then, Yahweh, you spoke like thunder from the sky; it was your voice, God, you who are greater than all other gods, that was heard.
15 Nangibiat isuna kadagiti pana ken winarawarana dagiti kabusorna— kadagiti kanabsiit ti kimat, winarawarana ida.
When you sent flashes of lightning, [it was as though] [MET] you shot your arrows and scattered your enemies.
16 Ket nagparang dagiti pagayusan ti danum; nawaknitan dagiti pundasion ti lubong iti panagpukkaw ni Yahweh para iti gubat, iti napigsa nga anges manipud kadagiti abut ti agongna.
Then the bottom of the ocean was uncovered; the foundations of the world could be seen when you rebuked [your enemies] with a snort from your nostrils.
17 Ginaw-atnak manipud iti ngato; ket iniggamannak! Ginuyodnak manipud iti naapres a danum.
“Yahweh, you reached down from heaven and lifted me up; you pulled me up from the deep water.
18 Inispalnak manipud iti napigsa a kabusorko, manipud kadagiti nanggura kaniak, gapu ta napigsada unay para kaniak.
You rescued me from my strong enemies, from those who hated me; [I could not defeat them because] they were very strong.
19 Dinarupdak iti aldaw ti pannakariribukko, ngem ni Yahweh ti timmulong kaniak.
They attacked me when I was experiencing troubles/difficulties, but Yahweh, you protected me.
20 Inruarnak pay iti nalawa a nawaya a lugar. Insalakannak gapu ta naay-ayo isuna kaniak.
You brought me to a place where I was safe; you rescued me because you were pleased with me.
21 Ginungunaannak ni Yahweh segun iti kinalintegko; insublinak iti sigud a kasasaadko segun iti kinadalus dagiti imak.
“Yahweh, you rewarded me because I do what is right; you did good things for me because I (was innocent/had not done things that are wrong).
22 Gapu ta tinungpalko dagiti wagas ni Yahweh ken saanak a nagtignay a sidadangkes babaen iti panangtallikodko iti Diosko.
Yahweh, I have obeyed your laws; I have not turned away from you, my God.
23 Ta saanko a tinallikudan dagiti amin a lintegna nga adda iti sangoanak; kasta met dagiti bilbilinna.
All of your regulations were in my mind, and I did not turn away from [obeying] all your statutes.
24 Ket awan met pakababalawak iti imatangna, ken inyadayok ti bagik iti basol.
You know that I have not done anything that is evil; I have kept myself from doing things for which I should be punished.
25 Isu nga insublinak ni Yahweh iti sigud a kasasaadko segun iti kinalintegko, segun iti kinadalusko iti imatangna.
So you have rewarded me in return for my doing what is right, because [you know that] I (am innocent of doing/have not done) wrong things.
26 Iti daydiay a napudno, ipakitam a napudnoka; iti maysa a tao nga awan pakababalawanna, ipakitam ti bagim nga awan pakababalawanna.
“Yahweh, you are faithful/loyal to those who always trust in you; you always do what is good to those whose behavior is always good.
27 Iti nadalus, ipakpakitam ti bagim a nadalus, ngem naungetka kadagiti nakillo.
You act sincerely toward those whose inner beings are pure, but you are hostile to those who are perverse/wicked.
28 Isalsalakanmo dagiti agsagsagaba a tattao, ngem bumusor dagiti matam kadagiti napalangguad, ken ipabpababam ida.
You rescue those who are humble, but you watch [MTY] those who are proud and humiliate them.
29 Ta sika ti silaw ko, Yahweh. Lawlawagan ni Yahweh ti kinasipngetko.
Yahweh, you are [like] [MET] a lamp that causes it to become light when I am in the dark.
30 Ta babaen kenka mabalinko a lagtoen ti maysa a bangen; babaen iti Diosko mabalinko a lagtoen ti maysa a pader.
With your strength/help I can run through a line of enemy soldiers and I can climb over the wall [that surrounds their city].
31 No maipanggep iti Dios, awan pagkurangan ti wagasna. Nasin-aw ti sao ni Yahweh. Isuna ket maysa a kalasag kadagiti amin a kumamkamang kenkuana.
“My God whom I worship, everything that you do is perfect; you always do what you promise that you will do. You are like a shield [MET] to all those who request you to protect them.
32 Ta siasinno ti Dios no di laeng ni Yahweh? Ken siansinno ti dakkel a bato no di laeng a ti Diostayo?
Yahweh, you are [RHQ] the only one who is God; only you are like a huge rock [MET] [under which we are protected/safe].
33 Ti Dios ti kamangko, ken iturturongna iti dalanna ti tao nga awan iti pakapilawanna.
God, you [whom I worship] are a strong refuge for me; you keep me safe on the roads that I [walk on].
34 Pappapartakenna dagiti sakak a kas iti ugsa ken ikabkabilnak kadagiti banbantay.
[When I walk] in the mountains, you enable me to walk safely, without stumbling [MET] like a deer runs.
35 Sansanayenna dagiti imak para iti gubat, ken dagiti takkiagko a mangpilko kadagiti bai a bronse.
You teach me [how to fight] in a battle in order that I can shoot arrows well from a very strong bow.
36 Intedmo kaniak ti kalasag ti panangisalakanmo, ken babaen iti pabormo pinagbalinnak a natan-ok.
[It is as though] [MET] you have given me a shield by which you have saved/rescued me, and you have answered my prayers and caused me to become famous/great.
37 Nangaramidka iti nalawa a lugar iti babaek a para kadagiti sakak, isu a pulos a saan a maikaglis dagiti sakak.
You have not allowed [my enemies] to capture me [IDM], and I have not fallen down [during battles].
38 Kinamatko dagiti kabusorko ket dinadaelko ida. Saanak a nagsubli aginggana a nadadaelda.
“pursued my enemies and defeated them; I did not stop [fighting them] until they were all killed.
39 Inalun-on ken dinadaelko ida; saandan a makabangon. Napasagda iti siruk dagiti sakak.
I struck them down; I stabbed them with my sword; they fell down at my feet and did not stand up again.
40 Ikkannak iti pigsa a kas iti barikes a pakigubat; ikabkabilmo iti babaek dagiti mangbusbusor kaniak.
You have given me strength for fighting battles and caused those who were attacking me to fall down, and I trampled on them.
41 Intedmo kaniak dagiti teltel dagiti kabusorko; pinarmekko dagiti nanggura kaniak.
You caused my enemies to turn and run away from me; I destroyed those who hated me.
42 Dimmawatda iti tulong; ngem awan ti nangisalakan kadakuada; immmawagda kenni Yahweh, ngem saanna ida a sinungbatan.
They (looked for/wanted) someone to rescue them, but no one did. They cried out to you, Yahweh, [for help, ] but you did not answer them.
43 Rinumekko ida a kas iti tapok iti daga, binayok ida a kasla pitak kadagiti kalsada.
I crushed them, and as a result they became like [SIM] tiny particles of dust. I trampled them, and they became like [SIM] mud in the streets.
44 Inispalnak met manipud kadagiti panagsusuppiat dagiti tattaok. Pinagtalinaednak a kas panguloen dagiti nasion. Agserserbi kaniak dagiti tattao a saanko nga am-ammo.
“You rescued me from those who tried to rebel [against me], and you appointed me to rule many nations; people whom I did not know previously are now (under my authority/my slaves).
45 Napilitan a nagtamed kaniak dagiti ganggannaet.
Foreigners humbly bowed down in front of me; as soon as they heard about me, they obeyed me.
46 Apaman a nangngegandak, nagtulnogda kaniak. Agtigtigerger dagiti ganggannaet a rimmuar kadagiti paglemlemmenganda.
They became afraid, and they came to me, trembling, from the places where they were hiding.
47 Agbiag ni Yahweh! Maidaydayaw koma ti dakkel a batok. Maitan-ok koma ti Dios, ti dakkel a bato iti pannakaisalankanko.
“Yahweh, you are alive! I praise you! You are like [MET] a [huge overhanging] rock under which I am safe/protected! You are the one who rescues me [MET]. Everyone should exalt/honor/praise you.
48 Daytoy ti Dios a mangipatpatungpal iti panangibales para kaniak, ti mangparparukma kadigiti tattao kaniak.
You enable me to conquer my enemies; you cause people of [other] nations to be (under my authority/my slaves).
49 Winayawayaannak manipud kadagiti kabusorko. Pudno, intag-aynak kadagiti bimmusor kaniak. Is-ispalennak manipud kadagiti naranggas a tattao.
You delivered me from my enemies; you caused me to be honored more than they were; you rescued me from men who [always] acted violently.
50 Isu nga agyamanak kenka, Yahweh, kadagiti nasion; agkantaak kadagiti kanta a pagdayaw iti naganmo.
Because of all that, I exalt you among many people-groups and I sing to praise you.
51 Ipapaay ti Dios ti naindaklan a balligi iti arina, ken ipakpakitana iti tulag ti di panagbalbaliw ti panunotna iti pinulotanna, kenni David ken kadagiti kaputotanna, iti agnanayon.”
You enable me, whom you appointed to be king, to powerfully conquer [my enemies]; you faithfully love me, David, and you will love my descendants forever.
