Dagiti Salmo 78
1 Dumngegkayo iti panursurok, dakayo a tattaok, denggenyo dagiti sasao nga agtaud iti ngiwatko. Agsaoak kadagiti pangngarig;
My friends, listen to what I am going to teach you; pay careful attention [IDM] to what I say.
2 Kantaek dagiti nailimed a banbanag maipanggep iti napalabas.
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],
3 Dagitoy dagiti banbanag a nangngegan ken nasursurotayo, dagiti banbanag nga imbaga kadatayo dagiti kapuonantayo.
things that we have heard and known previously, things that our parents and grandparents told us.
4 Saantayo nga ilimed dagitoy kadagiti kaputotanda. Ibagatayo kadagiti sumaruno a henerasion ti maipanggep kadagiti nadayaw nga ar-aramid ni Yahweh, ti kinabilegna ken dagiti nakakaskasdaaw nga inaramidna.
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.
5 Ta nangipaulog isuna ti panangpaneknekna iti tulagna kenni Jacob ken nangituyang ti linteg iti Israel. Imbilinna kadagiti kapuonantayo nga isuroda dagitoy kadagiti annakda.
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
6 Imbilinna daytoy tapno maamoan dagiti sumaruno a henerasion dagiti bilinna, dagiti ubbing a saan pay a naipasngay, a mangibaganto met kadagiti annakda.
in order that their children would [also] know them and then they would teach them to their children.
7 Ket mangnamnamadanto iti Dios ken saanda a malipatan dagiti aramidna ngem salimetmetanda ketdi dagiti bilinna.
In that way, they also would trust in God, and not forget the things that he has done; instead, they would obey his commandments.
8 Ket saandanto a kasla kadagiti kapuonanda, a nasukir ken managrebelde a henerasion, henerasion a saan a nalinteg dagiti pusoda, ken saan a napudno dagiti espirituda iti Dios.
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.
9 Nagtagipana dagiti Efraimita, ngem nagsanudda iti kaaldawan ti gubat.
[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.
10 Saanda a tinungpal ti katulagan ti Dios, ken nagkedkedda a mangtungpal ti lintegna.
They did not do what they had agreed with God that they would do; they refused to obey his laws.
11 Nalipatanda dagiti aramidna, dagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banag nga impakitana kadakuada.
They forgot what he had done; they forgot about the miracles that they had seen him perform.
12 Dagiti nakakaskasdaaw a banag nga inaramidna iti imatang dagiti kapuonanda iti daga ti Egipto, iti daga ti Soan.
While our ancestors were watching, God performed miracles in the area around Zoan [city] in Egypt.
13 Ginudduana ti taaw ken indalanna ida a lumasat iti daytoy; pinagtakderna ti danum a kasla pader.
[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].
14 Iti aldaw, indalanna ida babaen ti ulep ken iti agpatpatnag babaen ti raniag ti apuy.
He led them by a [bright] cloud during the day and by a fiery light during the night.
15 Pinagrengngatna ti dakkel a bato iti let-ang, ket inikkanna ida iti aglaplapusanan a danum, nga umdas a mangpunno iti kaunggan iti baybay.
He split rocks open in the desert, giving to our ancestors plenty of water from deep inside the earth.
16 Pinagubbogna ti danum manipud iti dakkel a bato ken pinagayusna a kasla kadagiti karayan.
He caused a stream of water to flow from the rock; the water flowed like a river [DOU].
17 Ngem intultuloyda latta ti agbasbasol kenkuana, agsuksukirda iti Kangatoan idiay let-ang.
But [our ancestors] continued to sin against God; in the desert they rebelled against the one who is greater than any other god.
18 Kinaritda ti Dios iti pusoda babaen iti panagdawatda iti taraon a mangpennek iti tarigagayda.
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.
19 Nagsaoda iti maibusor iti Dios; kinunada, “Maikkanatayo ngata ti Dios iti panganantayo idiay let-ang?
They insulted God by saying, “We don’t think he can supply food for us [here] in this desert!
20 Kitaenyo, idi binaotna ti dakkel a bato, nagpussuak ti danum ket nagluppias dagiti waig. Ngem makaited met kadi iti tinapay? Mangipaay kadi isuna iti karne kadagiti tattaona?”
[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]
21 Idi nangngeg ni Yahweh daytoy, nakaunget isuna; isu a simgiab ti apuyna a maibusor kenni Jacob, ket nagdissuor ti pungtotna ti Israel,
So, when Yahweh heard that, he became very angry, and he sent a fire to burn up [some of] his Israeli [people]. [MTY, DOU]
22 gapu ta saanda a namati iti Dios ken saanda a nagtalek iti panangisalakanna.
[He did that] because they did not trust in him, and they did not believe that he would rescue them.
23 Nupay kasta, binilinna ti tangatang ken linuktanna dagiti ruangan ti tangatang.
But God spoke to the sky above them; he commanded it to open [like] a door,
24 Pinagtudona ti mana nga agpaay a kanenda, ken intedna kadakuada ti trigo manipud iti langit.
and [then food] fell down like rain, [food which they named] ‘manna’; God gave them grain from (heaven/the sky).
25 Kinnan dagiti tattao ti tinapay dagiti anghel. Inyegna kadakuada iti aglaplapusanan a taraon.
[So] the people ate the food that angels eat, [and] God gave to them all the manna that they wanted.
26 Pinagpul-oyna ti angin nga aggapu iti daya a mangpuyot iti tangatang, ken inturongna ti angin ti abagatan babaen iti pannakabalinna.
[Later], he caused the wind to blow from the east, and by his power he also sent wind from the south,
27 Pinagtudona iti karne kadakuada a kasla tapok, dagiti tumatayab a kas kaadu dagiti darat iti baybay.
and the wind brought birds which were as numerous as the grains of sand on the seashore.
28 Nagtinnagda iti tengnga ti kampoda, iti aglikmot dagiti toldada.
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.
29 Isu a nangan ken nabsogda. Intedna kadakuada ti tartarigagayanda.
[So] the people [cooked the birds and] ate the meat and their stomachs were full, because God had given them what they wanted.
30 Ngem saanda pay latta a nabsog; adda pay laeng kadagiti ngiwatda ti taraonda.
But before they had eaten all that they wanted, and while they were still eating it,
31 Ket dinarup ida ti pungtot ti Dios ket pinatayna ti kapipigsaan kadakuada. Pinasagna dagiti agtutubo a lallaki iti Israel.
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.
32 Iti laksid daytoy, agbasbasolda latta ken saanda a namati kadagiti nakakaskasdaaw nga aramidna.
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].
33 Ngarud pinaababa ti Dios dagiti al-aldawda, napnoan ti buteng dagiti tawtawenda.
So, he caused their lives to end as quickly as a puff of wind ends; they died when disasters suddenly struck them.
34 Tunggal parigaten ida ti Dios, rugianda a biroken isuna, ket agsublida ken sipapasnekda a mangsapul kenkuana.
When God caused [some of] them to die, [the others] turned to God; they repented and earnestly asked God [to save them].
35 Lagipenda a ti Dios ti dakkel a batoda ken ti Kangangatoan a Dios ti mangis-ispal kadakuada.
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.
36 Ngem pasabluganda isuna ken agulbodda kenkuana kadagiti sasaoda.
But they [tried to] deceive God by what they said [MTY]; their words [MTY] were [all] lies.
37 Ta dagiti pusoda ket saan a nagtalinaed a sipupudno kenkuana ken saanda a napudno iti tulagna.
They were not loyal to him; they disregarded/ignored the agreement that he had made with them.
38 Ngem iti kinamanangngaasina, pinakawanna dagiti nagbasolda ket saanna a dinadael ida. Wen, adu a daras a linapdanna ti ungetna ken tineppelanna amin ti pungtotna.
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].
39 Nalagipna a naaramidda iti lasag, kasla angin a lumabas ken saanen nga agsubli.
He remembered/considered that they were only humans who die; they [disappear quickly] [SIM], like a wind that blows by and then is gone.
40 Namin-ano a daras a nagsukirda kenkuana idiay let-ang ken pinagladingitda isuna kadagiti langalang a rehion.
Many times our ancestors rebelled against God in the desert and caused him to become very sad.
41 Masansan a kinaritda ti Dios ken pinabainanda ti Nasantoan ti Israel.
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.
42 Saanda a pinanunot maipapan iti pannakabalinna, no kasano ti panangispalna kadakuada manipud iti kabusor
They forgot about his [great] power, and they (forgot/did not think) about the time when he rescued them from their enemies.
43 idi inaramidna dagiti nakabutbuteng a pagilasinan idiay Egipto ken dagiti nakakaskasdaaw nga inaramidna iti rehion ti Soan.
They forgot about when he performed many miracles in the area near Zoan [city] in Egypt.
44 Pinagbalinna a dara dagiti karayan dagiti Egipcio tapno saanda a makainom kadagiti waigda.
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.
45 Nangibaon isuna kadagiti pangen dagiti ngilaw a nangalun-on kadakuada ken dagiti tukak a nagwaras iti dagada.
He sent among the people of Egypt swarms of flies that bit them, and he sent frogs that ate up everything.
46 Intedna kadagiti arabas dagiti mulada ken dagiti nagbannoganda kadagiti dudon.
He sent locusts to eat their crops and the other things that grew in their fields.
47 Dinadaelna dagiti ubasda babaen iti uraro ken dagiti kayoda a sikamoro babaen iti ad-adu pay a uraro.
He sent hail that destroyed the grapevines, and sent frost that ruined the figs.
48 Pinagtudona iti uraro kadagiti bakada ken kinimatna dagiti dingwenda.
He sent hail that killed their cattle and sent lightning that killed their sheep and cows.
49 Bimtak ti kinarungsot ti ungetna kadakuada. Nangiyeg iti pungtot, rungsot ken riribuk a kasla dagiti bunggoy a mangiyeg iti didigra.
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].
50 Nangisimpa isuna iti dalan ti pungtotna; saanna nga inkaluya ida iti pakatayanda ngem inyawatna ida iti didigra.
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.
51 Pinapatayna amin dagiti inauna nga anak iti Egipto, ti inauna nga anak ti pigsada kadagiti tolda ni Ham.
He also caused all the firstborn sons of the people of Egypt to die.
52 Indauloanna a rimmuar dagiti tattaona a kasla karnero ken kasla arban nga indalanna ida a limmasat iti let-ang.
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.
53 Indauloanna ida a sitatalged ken awan nagbutnganda, ngem linapunos ti baybay dagiti kabusorda.
He led them safely, and they were not afraid, but their enemies were drowned in the sea.
54 Ket impanna ida iti nagbeddengan iti nasantoan a dagana, iti daytoy a bantay a nagun-od ti makannawan nga imana.
[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].
55 Pinapanawna dagiti nasion manipud iti sangoananda ken intedna kadakuada dagiti tawidda; pinagnaedna dagiti tribu ti Israel kadagiti toldada.
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.
56 Nupay kasta, kinaritda ken sinukirda ti Kangatoan a Dios ken saanda a sinalimetmetan dagiti bilinna.
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.
57 Saanda a napudno ken manangallilawda a kasla kadagiti ammada; saanda a mapagnamnamaan a kas iti bai nga adda perdina.
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].
58 Ta pinagpungtotda isuna gapu kadagiti pagano nga altarda ken pinagimonda isuna gapu kadagiti didiosenda.
Because they [worshiped] carved images of their gods on the tops of hills, they caused God to become angry [DOU].
59 Idi nangngeg ti Dios daytoy, nakaunget isuna ket inlaksidna a naminpinsan ti Israel.
He saw what they were doing and became very angry, so he rejected the Israeli people.
60 Binaybay-anna ti tabernakulo iti Silo, ti tolda a nagnaedanna iti sidong dagiti tattao.
He no longer appeared to them at Shiloh in the tent where he had lived among them.
61 Impalubosna a masamsam ti pigsana ken intedna ti dayagna kadagiti ima ti kabusorna.
He allowed their enemies to capture [the sacred chest], [which was the symbol of] his power and his glory.
62 Inyawatna dagiti tattaona iti kampilan ken nakaunget kadagiti tawidna.
Because he was angry with his people, he allowed them to be killed [MTY] [by their enemies].
63 Inalun-on ti apuy dagiti agtutubo a lallaki ken dagiti agtutubo a babbaida ket awan ti kantada iti panagbuda.
Young men were killed in battles, with the result that the young women had no one to marry.
64 Natay dagiti padida babaen ti kampilan ket saan a makadung-aw dagiti baloda.
[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.
65 Ket nakariing ti Apo a kasla nakaturog, a kasla mannakigubat nga agpukpukkaw gapu ti arak.
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].
66 Pinagsanudna dagiti kabusorna, ket inkabilna ida iti agnanayon a pannakaibabain.
He pushed their enemies back and caused them to be [very] ashamed for a long time [HYP] [because they had been defeated].
67 Linaksidna ti tolda ni Jose, ken saanna a pinili ti tribu ni Efraim.
[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].
68 Pinilina ti tribu ni Juda ken ti bantay Sion nga inay-ayatna.
Instead he chose [the area where] the tribe of Judah [lived]; he chose Zion Hill, which he loves.
69 Pinatakderna ti sanctuariona a a kasla kadagiti langlangit, a kasla iti daga nga impasdekna iti agnanayon.
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.
70 Pinilina ni David, nga adipenna, ket innalana isuna manipud iti pagap-apunan dagiti karnero.
He chose David, who served him [faithfully], and took him from the pastures
71 Innalana isuna manipud iti panangsursurotna kadagiti kabaian a karnero nga addaan ti urbon ken inyegna isuna tapno agbalin a pastor ni Jacob, dagiti tattaona ken iti Israel a tawidna.
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.
72 Impastoran ida ni David nga addaan kinapudno iti pusona ken indalanna ida babaen iti kinalaing dagiti imana.
David took care of the Israeli people sincerely and wholeheartedly, and guided them skillfully/wisely.
