Mga Awit 109
1 Diyos na aking pinupuri, huwag kang manahimik,
God, you are the one whom I praise, [So please] answer [my prayer],
2 dahil nilulusob ako ng masasama at mapanlinlang; nagsasabi (sila) ng mga kasinungalingan laban sa akin.
because wicked people slander me and tell [MTY] lies about me.
3 Pinalilibutan nila ako at nagsasabi nang mga bagay na nakamumuhi, at nilulusob nila ako nang walang dahilan.
They are constantly saying that they hate me, and they say evil things about me for no reason.
4 Kapalit ng pag-ibig ko ay ang paninirang-puri nila, pero ipinapanalangin ko (sila)
I show them that I want to be their friends and I pray for them, but [instead of being kind to me], they say that I have done evil things.
5 Ginantihan nila ako ng kasamaan para sa kabutihan at namumuhi (sila) sa aking pag-ibig.
In return for my doing good things for them and loving them, they do evil things to me and hate me.
6 Maghirang ka ng masamang tao sa kaaway na katulad nila; magtalaga ka ng tagapagbintang para tumayo sa kaniyang kanang kamay.
They said, “Appoint a wicked [judge] who will judge him, and bring in one of his enemies who will stand up and accuse him.
7 Kapag siya ay hinatulan, nawa mapatunayan siyang may-sala; nawa maituring na makasalanan ang kaniyang panalangin.
And cause that when the trial [ends], [the judge will] declare that he is guilty, and that [even] his prayer will be considered to be a sin.
8 Nawa umigsi ang kaniyang mga araw; nawa may ibang kumuha ng kaniyang katungkulan.
[Then], cause that he will soon die and that someone else will have his job/work (OR, possessions).
9 Nawa ang kaniyang mga anak ay mawalan ng ama, at nawa ang kaniyang asawang babae ay maging balo.
Cause that his children will not have a father any more and that his wife will become a widow.
10 Nawa mahibang at magmakaawa ang kaniyang mga anak, na nanghihingi ng limos sa kanilang pag-alis sa kanilang wasak na tahanan.
Cause that his children will be forced to leave the ruined homes that they have been living in and wander around begging for food.
11 Nawa kunin ng pinagkakautangan ang lahat ng kaniyang pag-aari; nawa nakawin ng mga dayuhan ang kaniyang kinikita.
Cause that all the people to whom he owed money will seize all his property; Cause that strangers will take away everything that he worked to acquire.
12 Nawa walang sinuman ang mag-abot ng kabutihan sa kaniya; nawa walang sinuman ang magkaroon ng awa sa kaniyang mga anak na walang ama.
Cause that [while he is still living] no one will be kind to him, and [after he dies], cause that no one will pity his children.
13 Nawa ang kaniyang mga anak ay mawala; nawa ang kanilang mga pangalan ay mabura sa susunod na salinlahi.
Cause that all his descendants will die and that his grandchildren will not remember who he [MTY] was.
14 Nawa mabanggit ang kasalanan ng kaniyang mga ninuno kay Yahweh; at nawa ang kasalanan ng kaniyang ina ay hindi malimutan.
Yahweh, remember [and do not forgive] his ancestors for the evil things that they did, and do not [even] forgive the sins that his mother committed;
15 Nawa ang kanilang pagkakasala ay palaging nasa harapan ni Yahweh; nawa burahin ni Yahweh ang kanilang alaala mula sa mundong ito.
think about his sins continually, and cause that his name will be completely forgotten.
16 Nawa gawin ito ni Yahweh dahil ang taong ito ay hindi kailanman nag-abala na magpakita ng kahit anong katapatan sa tipan, pero sa halip ay ginugulo ang mga api, mga nangangailangan, at mga pinanghinaan ng loob sa kamatayan.
He never was kind to anyone; he (persecuted/cause problems for) poor and needy [people] and even killed helpless [people].
17 Inibig niya ang pagsusumpa; nawa bumalik ito sa kaniya. Kinasusuklaman niya ang pagpapala; nawa walang pagpapala ang dumating sa kaniya.
He liked to curse [people]. [So] cause those terrible things that he requested to happen to others to happen to him! He did not want to bless [others], [so] cause that no one will bless him!
18 Sinuotan niya ang kaniyang sarili ng sumpa bilang kaniyang damit, at ang kaniyang sumpa ay pumasok sa kaniyang kalooban gaya ng tubig, gaya ng langis sa kaniyang mga buto.
He cursed other people [as often/easily] as he put on his clothes [SIM]; cause that the terrible things that he wanted to happen to others will [happen to him and] enter his body like water [that he drinks] [SIM], like [olive] oil soaks into a person’s bones [when it is rubbed on his skin] [SIM].
19 Nawa ang mga sumpa ay maging gaya ng mga damit na kaniyang sinusuot para balutan ang kaniyang sarili, gaya ng sinturon na palagi niyang suot-suot.
Cause that those terrible things will cling to him like his clothes and be around him like the belt that he wears every day.”
20 Nawa ito ang maging gantimpala ng aking mga tagapagbintang mula kay Yahweh, mga nagsasabi ng masasamang bagay tungkol sa akin.
Yahweh, I want you to punish all my enemies that way, those who say evil things about me.
21 Yahweh aking Panginoon, pakitunguhan mo ako nang mabuti alang-alang sa ngalan mo. Dahil ang iyong katapatan sa tipan ay mabuti, iligtas mo ako.
But Yahweh, my God, do good things for me in order that I may honor you; rescue me [from my enemies] because your faithfully loving me is good.
22 Dahil sa ako ay naaapi at nangangailangan, at ang aking puso ay sugatan.
[I ask you to do this] because I am poor and needy and my inner being is (full of pain/very troubled/discouraged).
23 Naglalaho ako gaya ng anino sa gabi; niyugyog ako gaya ng isang balang.
[I think that] my time [to remain alive] is short, like an evening shadow [that will soon disappear] [SIM]. I will be blown away like a locust/grasshopper is blown [by the wind].
24 Humina ang aking mga tuhod mula sa pag-aayuno; nagiging balat at buto na ako.
My knees are weak because I have (fasted/abstained from eating food) very often, and my body has become very thin.
25 Hinamak ako ng mga nagbibintang sa akin; kapag nakikita nila ako, iniiling nila ang kanilang mga ulo.
The people who accuse me make fun of me; when they see me, they [insult me by] shaking their heads [at me as though I were an evil man].
26 Tulungan mo ako, O Yahweh na aking Diyos; iligtas mo ako sa pamamagitan ng iyong katapatan sa tipan.
Yahweh, my God, help me! Because you faithfully love [me], rescue me!
27 Nawa malaman nila na ito ay iyong gawain, na ikaw, Yahweh ang gumawa nito.
[When you save me], cause my enemies to know that you are the one who has done it!
28 Kahit sumpain nila ako, pakiusap pagpalain mo ako; kapag sinalakay nila ako, nawa (sila) ay mapahiya, pero nawa ang iyong lingkod ay magalak.
They may curse me, but I ask that you bless me. Cause those who (persecute/cause problems for) me [to be defeated and as a result] to be disgraced/ashamed, and cause me to be glad/happy!
29 Nawa ang mga kaaway ko ay mabalutan ng kahihiyan; nawa suotin nila ang kanilang kahihiyan gaya ng isang balabal.
Cause those who accuse me to be completely disgraced; cause [other people to see] that they are disgraced, as [easily as they see] the clothes that they wear [SIM]!
30 Sa pamamagitan ng aking bibig magbibigay ako ng labis na pasasalamat kay Yahweh; pupurihin ko siya sa gitna ng maraming tao.
But I will thank Yahweh very greatly; I will praise him [when I am] among the crowd [of people who are worshiping him].
31 Dahil siya ay tatayo sa kanang kamay ng nangangailangan, para iligtas siya mula sa mga nanghuhusga sa kaniya.
[I will do that] because he defends [MTY] needy [people like me], and saves us from those who have decided/declared that we must be executed.
