Deuteronomio 32
1 Ibigay ang inyong mga tainga, kayong kalangitan, at hayaan akong magsalita. Hayaan ang mundo na makinig sa mga salita ng aking bibig.
“Listen to me, [all you who are in the] heavens, and [all you who are on the] earth, listen to what I say [MTY].
2 Hayaan ang aking katuruan ay pumatak na parang ulan, hayaan ang aking talumpati ay dumalisay na parang hamog, gaya ng mahinang ulan sa malambot na damo, at gaya ng ulan sa mga halaman.
I wish/desire that my teaching will fall on you like rain drops or be like dew on the ground, and be like a gentle rain on the young plants, like showers on the grass.
3 Dahil ipapayahag ko ang pangalan ni Yahweh, at ang tungkol ang kadakilaan sa ating Diyos.
I will praise Yahweh [MTY]. And [all you people should] tell others that our God is very great.
4 Ang Batong tanggulan, ang kaniyang ganap na gawa; dahil ang lahat ng kaniyang landas ay husto. Siya ang matapat na Diyos na siyang walang kasamaan. Siya ay makatarungan at matuwid.
He is like a rock [MET] [under which we are protected]; [everything] that he does is perfect and completely just/fair [DOU]. He always does what he says that he will do; he never does anything that is wrong.
5 Kumilos sila ng masama laban sa kaniya. Sila ay hindi niya mga anak. Ito ay kanilang kahihiyan. Sila ay isang makasalanan at manlilinlang na salinlahi.
“But [you Israeli people] have been very unfaithful to him; because of your sins, you no longer [deserve to] be his children. You are extremely wicked and deceitful [DOU].
6 Gagantimpalaan ba ninyo si Yahweh sa ganitong paraan, kayong mga hangal at walang damdaming mga tao? Hindi ba siya ang inyong ama, ang nag-iisang lumikha sa inyo? Na siyang lumikha sa inyo?
You foolish and senseless [DOU] people, (is this the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you]?/this is certainly not the way that you should repay Yahweh [for all that he has done for you].) [RHQ] He is your father; he created you [RHQ]; he caused you to become a nation.
7 Isaisip ang mga araw ng sinaunang panahon, isipin ang tungkol sa maraming taong lumipas. Tanungin ang inyong ama at ipapakita niya sa inyo, ang inyong mga nakakatanda at sasabihin nila sa inyo.
“Think about [what happened] long ago; consider what happened to your ancestors. Ask your parents, and they will inform you; ask the older people, and they will tell you.
8 Nang ibinigay ng Kataastaasan sa mga bansa ang kanilang pamana—nang hinati niya ang lahat ng sangkatauhan, at itinakda niya ang mga hangganan ng mga tao, itinakda rin niya ang bilang ng kanilang mga diyus-diyosan.
When God, who is greater than any other god, long ago divided the people into groups, he assigned to the nations their land. He determined where each people-group should live and (assigned to/chose for) each people-group a god/angel.
9 Dahil ang bahagi ni Yahweh ay ang kaniyang mga tao; si Jacob ang kaniyang bahaging mana.
But Yahweh decided that we would be his people; he chose [us, the descendants of] Jacob, to belong to him.
10 Siya ay natagpuan niya sa isang disyertong lupain, at sa tigang at humahagulhol na ilang; ipinagtanggol at inalagaan niya, siya ay binantayan niya na tulad ng pag-iingat sa mata.
“He saw [our ancestors] when they were in a desert, wandering in a land (that was desolate/where no people lived). He protected them and took care of them, as every person takes good care of his own eyes. [SIM, IDM]
11 Gaya ng isang agila na nagbabantay ng kaniyang pugad at pumapagaspas sa ibabaw ng kaniyang mga inakay, ibinuka ni Yahweh ang kaniyang mga pakpak at kinuha sila, at dinala sila sa kaniyang mga likuran.
[Yahweh protected his people] just like an eagle encourages its babies [to fly] and flutters over them [MET], spreading its wings and catching them [if they start to fall].
12 Si Yahweh lamang ang pumatnubay sa kaniya; walang dayuhang diyus-diyosan ang kasama niya.
Yahweh was the only one who led them; no other foreign god helped him.
13 Hinayaan niya kayong sumakay sa tayog ng lupain, at siya ay pinakain niya ng mga bunga ng bukid; kayo ay pinalusog niya ng pulut na mula sa bato, at langis na mula sa matigas na matarik na bato.
“[After they entered the land that Yahweh promised to give to them], Yahweh enabled them to rule the hilly areas; they ate the crops that grew in the fields. They found honey in the rocks, and their olive trees [MTY] grew [even] in stony ground.
14 Kumain kayo ng mantikilya na mula sa grupo ng mga hayop at uminom ng gatas na mula sa kawan, kasama ng taba ng mga tupa, mga lalaking tupa ng Bashan, at mga kambing, kasama ng pinakamainam ng trigo— at ininum ninyo ang bumubulang alak na gawa mula sa katas ng mga ubas.
The cows gave them plenty of curds/yogurt, the goats gave them plenty of milk, they had well-fed sheep and cattle, they had very good wheat, and they made delicious wine from their grapes.
15 Pero lumaki si Jeshurun na mataba at sumisipa, puno ng taba, matipuno, at makinis. Tinalikuran nila ang Diyos na gumawa sa kanila, at itinanggi nila ang Bato ng kaniyang kaligtasan.
“The Israeli people became rich and prosperous, but then they rebelled against God; they abandoned him, the one who created them, the one who powerfully saves them.
16 Pinagselos nila si Yahweh sa pamamagitan ng kanilang mga kakaibang diyus-diyosan; at ginalit siya ng kanilang mga kasuklam-suklam na diyus-diyosan.
So he abandoned them because they started to worship other/strange gods. Because of their worshiping disgusting idols, he became angry.
17 Nagsakripisyo sila sa mga demonyo, na hindi Diyos—mga diyos na hindi nila kilala, mga diyos na bago pa lang lumitaw, mga diyos na hindi kinakatakutan ng inyong mga ama.
They offered sacrifices to gods who were [really] demons, gods that their ancestors had never known; they offered sacrifices to gods that they had recently found out about, gods whom your ancestors had never revered.
18 Pinabayaan ninyo ang Bato, na naging ama ninyo, at inyong kinalimutan ang Diyos na nagsilang sa inyo.
They forgot [the true] God, the one who protects them [MET], the one who created them and caused them to live.
19 Nakita ito ni Yahweh at sila ay tinanggihan niya, dahil lubha siyang ginalit ng kaniyang mga anak na lalaki at kaniyang mga anak na babae.
“When Yahweh saw that [they had abandoned him], he became angry, so he rejected [the Israeli people, who are like] his sons and daughters.
20 “Itatago ko ang aking mukha mula sa kanila,” sinabi niya, “at makikita ko kung ano ang kanilang magiging katapusan; dahil sila ay isang napakasamang salinlahi, mga anak na hindi tapat.
He said, ‘They are very wicked/stubborn people, very unfaithful; so I will no longer help them, and then I will watch and see what happens to them.
21 Pinagselos nila ako sa pamamagitan diyos na hindi totoo at ginalit ako ng kanilang mga walang halagang diyus-diyosan. Papainggitin ko sila sa pamamagitan ng hindi ko bayan, gagalitin ko sila sa pamamagitan ng isang bansa na walang pang-unawa.
They made me very angry because of their worshiping idols, which are not really gods; they have caused me to be [jealous [MET] because I want them to worship only me]. So now, in order to cause them to become jealous, I will send [to attack them an army of] a nation of worthless and foolish people.
22 Dahil isang apoy ang nag-aalab sa pamamagitan ng aking galit at sumusunog hanggang sa pinakamalalim na lugar ng mga patay; kinakain nito ang mundo at ang ani nito; sinusunog nito ang mga pundasyon ng mga bundok. (Sheol h7585)
I will be very angry, and I will destroy them like a fire that will burn on the earth and all the way down to the place where dead people are [MET]; that fire will destroy the earth and everything that grows on it, and it will even burn what is down under the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 Bubuntunan ko sila ng kapahamakan; ipapatama ko sa kanila ang lahat ng aking mga palaso;
I will cause them to experience many disasters; [they will feel as though] [MET] I am shooting all my arrows at them.
24 Mamamatay sila sa gutom at lalamunin ng nag-aapoy na init at mapait na pagkawasak; ipapadala ko sa kanila ang mga ngipin ng mga mababangis na hayop, gamit ang lason ng mga bagay na gumagapang sa alikabok.
They will die because of being hungry and because of having hot fevers and because of terrible diseases; I will send wild animals to attack [MTY] them, and poisonous snakes to bite [MTY] them.
25 Sa labas ng espada ay mamimighati, at kilabot ay ganoon din sa mga silid-tulugan. lilipol ito sa parehong binata at dalaga, ang sumususong bata, at ang lalaking may kulay-abong mga buhok.
Outside [their houses, their enemies] will kill them [MTY] with swords, and in their homes, [their enemies will cause] them to be terrified. Their enemies will kill young men and young women, and they will kill infants and old people with gray hair.
26 Sinabi ko na ikakalat ko sila ng malayo, para mapawi ang kanilang alaala mula sa sangkatauhan.
I wanted to scatter the Israeli people to distant countries in order that no one would ever remember them.
27 Kung hindi lang sa pagmamayabang ng kaaway, at baka ang kanilang kaaway ay magkamali, at kanilang sasabihin, 'Itaas ang ating kamay,' Nagawa ko na sana ang lahat ng mga ito.
But [if I did that], their enemies would wrongly boast that they were the ones who had [gotten rid of my people]; they would say, “We [SYN] are the ones who defeated them; it was not Yahweh who has done all these things.”’
28 Dahil ang Israel ay isang bansa na walang karunungan, at walang pang-uunawa sa kanila.
You Israelis are a nation of people who do not have any sense. None of you is wise.
29 O, na sila ay matatalino, na naunawaan nila ito, na isaalang-alang nila ang kanilang parating na kapalaran!
If you were wise, you would understand [why you would be punished]; you would have realized what was going to happen to you.
30 Paano ba hahabulin ng isa ang isang libo, at papaliparin ng dalawa ang sampung libo, maliban kung ipinagbili sila ng kanilang Bato, at isinuko sila ni Yahweh?
[You would have realized] why 1,000 [of your soldiers] would be defeated by only one [of the enemy soldiers], and why two of your enemies would chase away 10,000 [Israeli soldiers]. [You would realize that this would happen] only if God, the one who always defended you [MET], had allowed your enemies to defeat you, because he had abandoned you.
31 Dahil ang bato ng ating mga kaaway ay hindi katulad ng ating Bato, gaya ng pag-amin ng ating mga kaaway.
Your enemies know that their gods are not powerful like Yahweh, our God, [so their gods could not have defeated us Israelis].
32 Dahil ang kanilang mga puno ng ubas ay nagmula sa puno ng ubas ng Sodoma, at mula sa mga bukid ng Gomorra; ang kanilang mga ubas ay mga ubas ng lason; ang kanilang mga kumpol ay mapait.
Your enemies are like [MET] grapevines planted near [the ruins of] Sodom and Gomorrah [cities]; the grapes from those vines are bitter and poisonous;
33 Ang kanilang alak ay ang lason ng mga ahas at ang mabagsik na kamandag ng mga maliliit na ahas.
the wine [from those grapes] is like the poison of snakes [DOU].
34 Hindi ba ito binalak ng palihim na aking tinago, na natatakan kabilang ng aking mga kayamanan?
[“Yahweh says], ‘I know [RHQ] [what I have planned to do to the Israeli people and to their enemies], and those plans are so secure [that it as though he locked them up] [MET].
35 Ako ang magbibigay ng paghihiganti, at kabayaran, sa panahon na madudulas ang kanilang paa; dahil ang araw ng kapahamakan para sa kanila ay nalalapit, at ang mga bagay na darating sa kanila ay mabilis na mangyayari.”
I am the one who will get revenge and pay those enemies back for what they have done [to my people], at the right time for them to be punished [IDM]; they will soon experience disasters, and I will punish/destroy them quickly.’
36 Dahil si Yahweh ang magpapasya para sa kaniyang mga tao, at kakaawaan niya ang kaniyang mga lingkod. Makikita niya na ang kanilang kapangyarihan ay nawala, at wala ni isang matitira, kahit mga alipin o malayang mga tao.
“But Yahweh will see that you who are truly his people, who (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and he will be merciful to you. And he will see that you are helpless, and that there are very few of you, slaves or free people, who are still alive.
37 Pagkatapos sasabihin niya, “Nasaan ang kanilang mga diyos, ang bato na siyang kanilang kanlungan? —
Then Yahweh will ask his people, ‘Where are the gods that you thought would protect you [MET]?
38 Ang mga diyos na kumain ng mga taba ng kanilang mga sakripisyo at uminom ng alak na kanilang mga handog na inumin? Hayaan silang bumangon at tulungan kayo; hayaan sila ang mag-ingat ninyo.
You gave to those gods the best parts of the animals that you sacrificed, and you poured out wine for them to drink. So, they should begin to help you; they should be the ones who will protect you!
39 Tingnan ninyo ngayon ako, kahit ako, ang Diyos, at walang nang diyos maliban sa akin; ako'y pumapatay, at ako'y bumubuhay; ako'y sumusugat, at ako'y nagpapagaling, at walang ni isa na makakapagligtas sa inyo mula sa aking lakas.
“But now you will realize that I, only I, am God; there is no other god who is [a real] god. I am the one who can kill people and who can cause people to live; I can wound people, and I can heal people, and there is no one who can prevent me from doing those things.
40 Dahil itinaas ko ang aking kamay sa langit at sinabing, 'Habang ako ay nabubuhay magpakailanman, ako ay kikilos.
I raise my hand toward heaven and solemnly declare that just as sure as I live forever,
41 Kapag hinahasa ko ang aking makintab na espada, at kapag nagsimula na ang aking kamay na magdala ng katarungan, maghihiganti ako sa aking mga kaaway, at gagantihan ko yaong mga napopoot sa akin.
that when I sharpen my sword, as I [SYN] prepare to punish people, I will get revenge on my enemies; I will pay back those who hate me.
42 Lalasingin ko ang aking mga palaso ng dugo, at ang aking espada ay lalamunin ang laman kasama ng dugo ng mga pinatay at ng mga bihag, at mula sa mga ulo ng mga pinuno ng kaaway.'”
I will kill all [of my enemies] with a sword; it will be as though I had arrows that will be covered with their blood. I will kill [MTY] all those whom I capture and cut off their leaders’ heads.’
43 Magdiwang, kayong mga bansa, kasama ng mga tao ng Diyos, dahil ipaghihiganti niya ang dugo ng kaniyang mga lingkod; Maghihiganti siya sa kaniyang mga kaaway, at gagawa siya ng kabayaran ng kasalanan para sa kaniyang lupain, para sa kaniyang mga tao.
“You people of all nations, you as well as his people should praise Yahweh, because Yahweh gets revenge on those who kill the people who serve him; and he cleanses his people’s land which has become defiled because of their sins.”
44 Dumating si Moises at inawit ang lahat ng mga salita ng awiting ito sa tainga ng mga tao, siya, at si Josue na anak na lalaki ni Nun.
Joshua and Moses/I recited the words of that song while the Israeli people were listening.
45 At natapos ni Moises na awitin ang lahat ng mga salitang ito sa buong Israel.
When they/we finished reciting to the Israeli people the words of this song,
46 Sinabi niya sa kanila, “Ituon ang inyong mga isipan sa lahat ng mga salita na aking pinatunayan sa inyo ngayon, para mautusan ninyo ang inyong mga anak na sundin ang mga ito, ang lahat ng mga salita ng batas na ito.
Moses/I said, “Never forget all these commands that I have been giving you today. Teach these laws to your children, in order that they will faithfully obey all of them.
47 Dahil ito ay hindi balewalang bagay para sa inyo, dahil ito ang inyong buhay, at sa pamamagitan ng bagay na ito ay papahabain ninyo ang inyong mga araw sa lupain na inyong pupuntahan sa ibayo ng Jordan para angkinin.”
These instructions are very important [LIT]. If [you obey] them, you will live a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to occupy.”
48 Nagsalita si Yahweh kay Moises sa parehong araw at sinabing,
On that same day, Yahweh said to Moses/me,
49 “Umakyat ka sa bandang ito ng mga bundok ng Abarim, itaas ng Bundok Nebo, na nasa lupain ng Moab, kabila ng Jerico. Mapagmamasdan mo ang lupain ng Canaan, na ibibigay ko sa bayan ng Israel bilang kanilang pag-aari.
“Go to the Abarim Mountain range [here] in the Moab region, across from Jericho. Climb Nebo Mountain, and look [toward the west] to see Canaan land, the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people.
50 Mamamatay ka sa bundok na pupuntahan mo at Matitipon kasama ng iyong mga tao, gaya ni Aaron na kapwa mong Israelita na namatay sa Bundok Hor at tinipon ng kaniyang mga tao.
You will die on that mountain [EUP, DOU], like your [older] brother Aaron died on Hor Mountain.
51 Ito ay mangyayari dahil hindi ka tapat sa akin kabilang sa bayan ng Israel sa tubigan ng Meriba sa Kades, sa ilang ng Sin;
You will die because both of you disobeyed me in the presence of the Israeli people, when you all were at Meribah Springs near Kadesh [town] in the Zin Desert. You did not honor and respect me in the presence of the Israeli people in the way that I deserve because I am God.
52 dahil hindi mo ako pinakitunguhan ng may dangal at Dahil makikita mo ang lupain sa harapan mo, pero hindi ka makakapunta roon, sa lupain na ibibigay ko sa bayan ng Israel.”
[When you are on that mountain where I told you to go], you will see in the distance in front of you the land that I am about to give to the Israeli people, but you will not enter it.”
