Mga Awit 78
1 Makinig kayo, Oh bayan ko, sa aking kautusan: ikiling ninyo ang inyong mga pakinig sa mga salita ng aking bibig.
The understanding of Asaph. O my people, attend to my law. Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 Aking bubukhin ang aking bibig sa isang talinghaga; ako'y magsasalita ng mga malabong sabi ng una:
I will open my mouth in parables. I will speak about concepts that are from the beginning.
3 Na aming narinig at naalaman, at isinaysay sa amin ng aming mga magulang.
We have heard and known such great things, as our fathers have described to us.
4 Hindi namin ikukubli sa kanilang mga anak, na isasaysay sa salin ng lahing darating ang mga pagpuri sa Panginoon, at ang kaniyang kalakasan, at ang kaniyang mga kagilagilalas na mga gawa na kaniyang ginawa.
These things have not been hidden from their sons in any generation: declaring the praises of the Lord, and his virtues, and the wonders that he has done.
5 Sapagka't siya'y nagtatag ng patotoo sa Jacob, at nagtakda ng kautusan sa Israel, na kaniyang iniutos sa aming mga magulang, na kanilang ipabatid sa kanilang mga anak:
And he has received testimony with Jacob, and he has set a law within Israel. Such great things, he has commanded our fathers, so as to make these things known to their sons,
6 Upang maalaman ng lahing darating, sa makatuwid baga'y ng mga anak na ipanganganak; na siyang magsisibangon, at mangagsasaysay sa kanilang mga anak:
so that another generation might know them, and so that the sons, who will be born and who will grow up, shall describe them to their sons.
7 Upang kanilang mailagak ang kanilang pagasa sa Dios, at huwag kalimutan ang mga gawa ng Dios, Kundi ingatan ang kaniyang mga utos:
So then, may they put their hope in God, and may they not forget the works of God, and may they seek his commandments.
8 At huwag maging gaya ng kanilang mga magulang, may matigas na ulo at mapanghimagsik na lahi; isang lahing di naglagay sa matuwid ng kanilang puso, at ang kanilang diwa ay hindi tapat sa Dios,
May they not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation: a generation that does not straighten their heart and whose spirit is not trustworthy with God.
9 Ang mga anak ni Ephraim, gayong may sakbat at may dalang mga busog, at nagsitalikod sa kaarawan ng pagbabaka.
The sons of Ephraim, who bend and shoot the bow, have been turned back in the day of battle.
10 Hindi nila tinupad ang tipan ng Dios, at nagsitangging magsilakad sa kaniyang kautusan;
They have not kept the covenant of God. And they were not willing to walk in his law.
11 At kanilang kinalimutan ang kaniyang mga gawa, at ang kaniyang mga kagilagilalas na mga gawa na kaniyang ipinakita sa kanila.
And they have been forgetful of his benefits, and of his miracle, which he revealed to them.
12 Mga kagilagilalas na mga bagay ay ginawa niya sa paningin ng kanilang mga magulang, sa lupain ng Egipto, sa parang ng Zoan.
He performed miracles in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis.
13 Hinawi niya ang dagat, at pinaraan niya (sila) at kaniyang pinatayo ang tubig na parang bunton.
He broke the sea and he led them through. And he stationed the waters, as if in a vessel.
14 Sa araw naman ay kaniyang pinatnubayan (sila) sa pamamagitan ng isang ulap, at buong gabi ay sa pamamagitan ng tanglaw na apoy.
And he led them with a cloud by day, and with illumination by fire throughout the night.
15 Kaniyang pinuwangan ang mga bato sa ilang, at pinainom niya (sila) ng sagana na gaya ng mula sa mga kalaliman.
He broke through the rock in the wasteland, and he gave them to drink, as if from the great abyss.
16 Nagpabukal naman siya mula sa bato. At nagpababa ng tubig na parang mga ilog.
He brought forth water from the rock, and he conducted the waters, as if they were rivers.
17 Gayon ma'y nagkasala uli (sila) laban sa kaniya, upang manghimagsik laban sa Kataastaasan sa ilang.
And yet, they continued to sin against him. In a waterless place, they provoked the Most High with resentment.
18 At kanilang tinukso ang Dios sa kanilang puso, sa paghingi ng pagkain sa kanilang pita.
And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking for food according to their desires.
19 Oo, sila'y nagsalita laban sa Dios; kanilang sinabi, Makapaghahanda ba ang Dios ng dulang sa ilang?
And they spoke badly about God. They said, “Would God be able to prepare a table in the desert?
20 Narito, kaniyang pinalo ang bato, na ang mga tubig ay bumubuluwak, at mga bukal ay nagsisiapaw; makapagbibigay ba siya ng tinapay naman? Ipaghahanda ba niya ng karne ang kaniyang bayan?
He struck the rock, and so waters flowed and the torrents flooded, but would even he be able to provide bread, or provide a table, for his people?”
21 Kaya't narinig ng Panginoon, at napoot: at isang apoy ay nagalab laban sa Jacob, at galit naman ay napailanglang laban sa Israel;
Therefore, the Lord heard, and he was dismayed, and a fire was kindled within Jacob, and an anger ascended into Israel.
22 Sapagka't sila'y hindi nagsisampalataya sa Dios, at hindi nagsitiwala sa kaniyang pagliligtas.
For they neither put their trust in God, nor did they hope in his salvation.
23 Gayon ma'y nagutos siya sa mga langit sa itaas, at binuksan ang mga pintuan ng langit;
And he commanded the clouds from above, and he opened the doors of heaven.
24 At pinaulanan niya (sila) ng mana upang makain. At binigyan (sila) ng trigo ng langit.
And he rained down manna upon them to eat, and he gave them the bread of heaven.
25 Kumain ang tao ng tinapay ng makapangyarihan: pinadalhan niya (sila) ng pagkain hanggang sa nangabusog.
Man ate the bread of Angels. He sent them provisions in abundance.
26 Kaniyang pinahihip ang hanging silanganan sa mga langit: at sa pamamagitan ng kaniyang kapangyarihan ay pinatnubayan niya ang hanging timugan.
He transferred the south wind from heaven, and, in his virtue, he brought in the Southwest wind.
27 Pinaulanan naman niya (sila) ng karne na parang alabok, at ng mga ibong parang buhangin sa mga dagat:
And he rained down flesh upon them, as if it were dust, and feathered birds, as if they were the sand of the sea.
28 At pinalagpak niya sa gitna ng kanilang kampamento, sa palibot ng kanilang mga tahanan.
And they fell down in the midst of their camp, encircling their tabernacles.
29 Sa gayo'y nagsikain (sila) at nangabusog na mabuti; at ibinigay niya sa kanila ang kanilang pita.
And they ate until they were greatly satisfied, and he brought to them according to their desires.
30 Hindi (sila) nagsihiwalay sa kanilang pita, ang kanilang pagkain ay nasa kanila pang mga bibig,
They were not cheated out of what they wanted. Their food was still in their mouth,
31 Nang ang galit ng Dios ay paitaas laban sa kanila, at pumatay sa mga pinakamataba sa kanila, at sinaktan ang mga binata sa Israel.
and then the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones among them, and he impeded the elect of Israel.
32 Sa lahat ng ito ay nangagkasala pa (sila) at hindi naniwala sa kaniyang kagilagilalas na mga gawa.
In all these things, they continued to sin, and they were not trustworthy with his miracles.
33 Kaya't kaniyang pinaram ang kanilang mga kaarawan sa walang kabuluhan, at ang kanilang mga taon ay sa mga kakilabutan.
And their days faded away into vanity, and their years with haste.
34 Nang kaniyang patayin (sila) sila'y nangagusisa sa kaniya: at sila'y nagsibalik, at nagsihanap ng tapat sa Dios.
When he slew them, then they sought him. And they returned, and they drew near to him in the early morning.
35 At kanilang naalaala na ang Dios ay kanilang malaking bato, at ang Kataastaasang Dios ay kanilang manunubos.
And they were mindful that God is their helper and that the Most High God is their redeemer.
36 Nguni't tinutuya nila siya ng kanilang bibig, at pinagbubulaanan nila siya ng kanilang dila.
And they chose him with their mouth, and then they lied to him with their tongue.
37 Sapagka't ang kanilang puso ay hindi matuwid sa kaniya, ni tapat man (sila) sa kaniyang tipan.
For their heart was not upright with him, nor have they been living faithfully in his covenant.
38 Nguni't siya, palibhasa'y puspos ng kaawaan, ay pinatawad ang kanilang kasamaan at hindi (sila) nilipol: Oo, madalas na inihiwalay ang kaniyang galit, at hindi pinukaw ang buo niyang poot.
Yet he is merciful, and he will pardon their sins. And he will not destroy them. And he has abundantly turned aside his own wrath. And he did not enflame his wrath entirely.
39 At naalaala niyang sila'y laman lamang; hanging dumadaan, at hindi bumabalik.
And he remembered that they are flesh: with a spirit that goes forth and does not return.
40 Kay dalas na nanghimagsik nila laban sa kaniya sa ilang, at pinapanglaw nila siya sa ilang!
How often did they provoke him in the desert and stir him to wrath in a waterless place?
41 At sila'y nagsibalik uli, at tinukso ang Dios, at minungkahi ang Banal ng Israel.
And they turned back and tempted God, and they exasperated the Holy One of Israel.
42 Hindi nila inalaala ang kaniyang kamay, ni ang araw man nang kaniyang tubusin (sila) sa kaaway.
They did not remember his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of the one troubling them.
43 Kung paanong kaniyang inilagay ang kaniyang mga tanda sa Egipto, at ang kaniyang mga kababalaghan sa parang ng Zoan;
Thus, he positioned his signs in Egypt and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
44 At pinapaging dugo ang kanilang mga ilog, at ang kanilang mga bukal, na anopa't hindi (sila) makainom.
And he turned their rivers into blood, along with their rain showers, so that they could not drink.
45 Nagsugo rin siya sa gitna nila ng mga pulutong ng mga bangaw na lumamon sa kanila; at mga palaka, na nagsigiba sa kanila.
He sent among them the common fly, and it devoured them, and the frog, and it scattered them.
46 Ibinigay rin niya ang kanilang bunga sa tipaklong, at ang kanilang pakinabang sa balang.
And he gave up their fruits to mold and their labors to the locust.
47 Sinira niya ang kanilang ubasan ng granizo, at ang mga puno nila ng sikomoro ng escarcha.
And he slew their vineyards with hail and their mulberry trees with severe frost.
48 Ibinigay rin naman niya ang kanilang mga hayop sa granizo, at sa mga lintik ang kanilang mga kawan.
And he delivered their cattle to the hail and their possessions to fire.
49 Ibinugso niya sa kanila ang kabangisan ng kaniyang galit, poot at galit, at kabagabagan, pulutong ng mga anghel ng kasamaan.
And he sent the wrath of his indignation among them: indignation and wrath and tribulation, sent forth by evil angels.
50 Kaniyang iginawa ng landas ang kaniyang galit; hindi niya pinigil ang kanilang buhay sa kamatayan, kundi ibinigay ang kanilang buhay sa pagkapuksa;
He made way for the path of his anger. He did not spare their souls from death. And he enclosed their beasts of burden in death.
51 At sinaktan ang lahat na panganay sa Egipto, ang panguna ng kanilang kalakasan sa mga tolda ni Cham:
And he struck all the first-born in the land of Egypt: the first-fruits of all their labor in the tabernacles of Ham.
52 Nguni't kaniyang pinayaon ang kaniyang sariling bayan na parang mga tupa, at pinatnubayan (sila) sa ilang na parang kawan.
And he took away his own people like sheep, and he led them through the wilderness like a flock.
53 At inihatid niya silang tiwasay, na anopa't hindi (sila) nangatakot: nguni't tinakpan ng dagat ang kanilang mga kaaway.
And he led them out in hope, and they did not fear. And the sea covered their enemies.
54 At dinala niya (sila) sa hangganan ng kaniyang santuario, sa bundok na ito na binili ng kaniyang kanang kamay.
And he led them to the mountain of his sanctification: the mountain that his right hand had acquired. And he cast out the Gentiles before their face. And he divided their land by lot to them, with a line of distribution.
55 Pinalayas din niya ang mga bansa sa harap nila, at binahagi sa kanila na pinakamana sa pamamagitan ng pising panukat, at pinatahan ang mga lipi ng Israel sa kanilang mga tolda.
And he caused the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
56 Gayon ma'y nanukso at nanghimagsik (sila) laban sa Kataastaasang Dios, at hindi iningatan ang kaniyang mga patotoo;
Yet they tempted and aggravated God Most High, and they did not keep his testaments.
57 Kundi nagsitalikod, at nagsigawang may paglililo na gaya ng kanilang mga magulang: sila'y nagsilisyang parang magdarayang busog.
And they turned themselves aside, and they did not serve the covenant. In the same manner as their fathers, they were turned backwards, like a crooked bow.
58 Sapagka't minungkahi nila siya sa galit ng kanilang mga mataas na dako, at kinilos nila siya sa panibugho ng kanilang mga larawang inanyuan.
They impelled him to anger on their hills, and they provoked him to rivalry with their graven images.
59 Nang marinig ito ng Dios, ay napoot, at kinayamutang lubha ang Israel:
God listened, and he spurned them, and he reduced Israel greatly, almost to nothing.
60 Sa gayo'y kaniyang pinabayaan ang tabernakulo ng Silo, ang tolda na kaniyang inilagay sa gitna ng mga tao;
And he rejected the tabernacle of Shiloh, his tabernacle where he had dwelt among men.
61 At ibinigay ang kaniyang kalakasan sa pagkabihag, at ang kaniyang kaluwalhatian ay sa kamay ng kaaway.
And he delivered their virtue into captivity, and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
62 Ibinigay rin niya ang kaniyang bayan sa tabak; at napoot sa kaniyang mana.
And he enclosed his people with the sword, and he spurned his inheritance.
63 Nilamon ng apoy ang kanilang mga binata; at ang mga dalaga nila'y hindi nagkaroon ng awit ng pagaasawa.
Fire consumed their young men, and their virgins were not lamented.
64 Ang mga saserdote nila'y nabuwal sa pamamagitan ng tabak; at ang mga bao nila'y hindi nanganaghoy.
Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows did not weep.
65 Nang magkagayo'y gumising ang Panginoon na gaya ng mula sa pagkakatulog, gaya ng malakas na tao na humihiyaw dahil sa alak.
And the Lord was awakened, as if out of sleep, and like a powerful man impaired by wine.
66 At sinaktan niya sa likod ang kaniyang mga kaaway: inilagay niya (sila) sa laging kadustaan.
And he struck his enemies on the back. He gave them over to everlasting disgrace.
67 Bukod dito'y tinanggihan niya ang tolda ng Jose, at hindi pinili ang lipi ni Ephraim;
And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph, and he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
68 Kundi pinili ang lipi ni Juda, ang bundok ng Zion na kaniyang inibig.
But he chose the tribe of Judah: mount Zion, which he loved.
69 At itinayo niya ang kaniyang santuario na parang mga kataasan, parang lupa na kaniyang itinatag magpakailan man.
And he built up his sanctuary, like a single-horned beast, in the land that he founded for all ages.
70 Pinili naman niya si David na kaniyang lingkod, at kinuha niya siya mula sa kulungan ng mga tupa:
And he chose his servant David, and he took him from the flocks of the sheep: he received him from following the ewes with their young,
71 Dinala niya siya na mula sa pagsunod sa mga tupa ng nagpapasuso, upang maging pastor ng Jacob na kaniyang bayan, at ang Israel na kaniyang mana.
in order to pasture Jacob his servant and Israel his inheritance.
72 Sa gayo'y siya ang kanilang pastor ayon sa pagtatapat ng kaniyang puso; at pinatnubayan niya (sila) sa pamamagitan ng kabihasahan ng kaniyang mga kamay.
And he fed them with the innocence of his heart. And he led them with the understanding of his hands.
