Mga Awit 40

1 Aking hinintay na may pagtitiis ang Panginoon; at siya'y kumiling sa akin, at dininig ang aking daing.

I waited patiently for Yahweh [to help me], and he listened to me [DOU] when I called out to him.

2 Isinampa naman niya ako mula sa isang kakilakilabot na balon, mula sa balahong malagkit; at itinuntong niya ang aking mga paa sa isang malaking bato, at itinatag ang aking mga paglakad.

[When I had many troubles, it was as though] I was in a deep pit. But he lifted me up out of the mud and slime of that pit; he set my feet on a [solid] rock, and enabled me to walk (safely/without falling).

3 At siya'y naglagay ng bagong awit sa aking bibig, sa makatuwid baga'y pagpuri sa aming Dios: marami ang mangakakakita at mangatatakot, at magsisitiwala sa Panginoon.

He has given me a new song to sing, a song to praise him who is our God. Many people will find out [what he has done for me], and they will revere and trust him.

4 Mapalad ang tao na ginagawang kaniyang tiwala ang Panginoon, at hindi iginagalang ang palalo, ni ang mga naliligaw man sa pagsunod sa mga kabulaanan.

Yahweh is pleased with those who trust him, those who do not trust in idols or join with those who worship those false gods.

5 Marami, Oh Panginoon kong Dios, ang mga kagilagilalas na mga gawa na iyong ginawa, at ang iyong mga pagiisip sa amin: hindi malalagay na maayos sa harap mo; kung ako'y magpapahayag at sasalitain ko (sila) sila'y higit kay sa mabibilang.

O Yahweh, my God, you have done many wonderful things! No one can list all the wonderful things that you have planned for us. If I tried to tell [others] about all those wonderful things, I would not be able to, because there would be too many for me to mention.

6 Hain at handog ay hindi mo kinaluluguran; ang aking pakinig ay iyong binuksan: handog na susunugin, at handog tungkol sa kasalanan ay hindi mo hiningi.

Various kinds of sacrifices and other offerings are not the [only] things that delight you. You have enabled me to understand that very well [IDM]. [Animals] burned [on the altar] and [other] offerings are not all that you require [for sins to be forgiven].

7 Nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko: Narito, dumating ako; sa balumbon ng aklat ay nakasulat tungkol sa akin:

So I said [to you], “Yahweh, here I am, [to do] the things that have been written in the scroll [that contains your laws], things that you want me [to do].”

8 Aking kinalulugurang sundin ang iyong kalooban, Oh Dios ko; Oo, ang iyong kautusan ay nasa loob ng aking puso.

O my God, I delight to do what you desire; I [keep] your laws within my inner being.

9 Ako'y nagpahayag ng mabuting balita ng katuwiran sa dakilang kapisanan; narito, hindi ko pipigilin ang aking mga labi, Oh Panginoon, iyong nalalaman.

Whenever all [your people] are gathered, I have told them about how you save us. Yahweh, you know that I have not been afraid to tell that to them.

10 Hindi ko ikinubli ang iyong katuwiran sa loob ng aking puso; aking ibinalita ang iyong pagtatapat, at ang iyong pagliligtas: hindi ko inilihim ang iyong kagandahang-loob at ang iyong katotohanan sa dakilang kapisanan.

And I have not kept to myself the news that you always act justly/fairly; when many of your people have gathered together [to worship you in the temple], I have told them that you are faithful to us and save us. I have (not concealed/openly told people) that you faithfully love us and act loyally toward us.

11 Huwag mong pigilin sa akin ang iyong mga malumanay na kaawaan, Oh Panginoon: panatilihin mong lagi sa akin ang iyong kagandahang-loob at ang iyong katotohanan.

Yahweh, do not stop being merciful to me. Because you faithfully love [me] [PRS] and are loyal [to me], always protect me.

12 Sapagka't kinulong ako ng walang bilang na kasamaan. Ang mga kasamaan ko ay umabot sa akin, na anopa't hindi ako makatingin; sila'y higit kay sa mga buhok ng aking ulo, at ang aking puso ay nagpalata sa akin.

I have many troubles; [so many that] I cannot count them. My sins are like a flood that has covered me [PRS, MET]; [they are so many that] I cannot find my way. The sins that I have committed are more than the hairs on my head. I am very discouraged.

13 Kalugdan mo nawa, Oh Panginoon, na iligtas ako: Ikaw ay magmadaling tulungan mo ako, Oh Panginoon.

O Yahweh, please save me! Come quickly to help me!

14 Sila'y mangapahiya nawa at mangatulig na magkakasama na nagsisiusig ng aking kaluluwa upang ipahamak: (Sila) nawa'y mangapaurong at mangadala sa kasiraang puri na nangalulugod sa aking kapahamakan.

Humble those who are happy about my troubles, and cause them to be disgraced and ashamed. Chase away those who are trying to get rid of me.

15 Mangapahamak nawa (sila) dahil sa kanilang kahihiyan na nangagsasabi sa akin, Aha, aha.

I hope/desire that those who make fun of me will be dismayed when you defeat them.

16 Mangagalak at mangatuwa nawa sa iyo ang lahat na nagsisihanap sa iyo: yaong nangagiibig ng iyong kaligtasan ay mangagsabi nawang palagi, Ang Panginoon ay dakilain.

But I hope that all those who go to [worship] you will be very joyful [DOU]. I want those who love you because you saved them to shout repeatedly, “Yahweh is great!”

17 Nguni't ako'y dukha at mapagkailangan; Gayon ma'y inalaala ako ng Panginoon: Ikaw ang aking saklolo at aking tagapagligtas; huwag kang magluwat, Oh Dios ko.

As for me, I am poor and needy [DOU]; but [I know that] Yahweh has not forgotten me. O my God, you are the one who saves and helps me, so please come quickly [and help me!]
