Mga Awit 40

1 Matiyaga akong naghintay kay Yahweh; pinakinggan niya ako at dininig ang aking pag-iyak.

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

2 Inahon niyo din ako mula sa kakilakilabot na hukay, mula sa putikan, at itinayo niya ang aking mga paa sa isang bato at itinatag ang aking paglalakbay.

[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 Siya ang naglagay sa aking mga bibig ng bagong awit, papuri sa ating Diyos. Marami ang makakaalam nito at pararangalan siya at magtitiwala kay Yahweh.

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 taong ginagawa niyang sandigan si Yahweh at hindi nagpaparangal sa mayayabang o silang tumalikod mula sa kaniya tungo sa kasinungalingan.

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, Yahweh aking Diyos, ang kamangha-manghang bagay na iyong ginawa at hindi mabibilang ang iyong mga iniisip para sa akin; kung ihahayag ko at sasabihin ang mga ito, higit pa sa maaaring mabilang ang mga ito.

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 Hindi kayo nagagalak sa pag-aalay o paghahandog pero binuksan mo ang aking tainga; hindi mo hiniling ang mga sinunog na alay o mga alay sa kasalanan.

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 Pagkatapos sinabi ko, “Masdan mo, dumating ako; nasusulat sa balunbon nang kasulatan ang 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 Nalulugod akong gawin ang iyong kalooban, aking Diyos; ang iyong mga batas ay nasa aking puso.”

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

9 Pinahayag ko ang magandang balita ng iyong katuwiran sa malaking pagtitipon; Yahweh, alam mong hindi ko mapipigilan ang labi ko sa pagsasabi nito.

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 aking puso; inihayag ko ang iyong katapatan at kaligtasan; hindi ko itinago ang iyong katapatan sa tipan o iyong pagiging mapagkakatiwalaan sa malaking pagtitipon.

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 ipagkait ang iyong mga maawing pagkilos sa akin, Yahweh; hayaan mong ang katapatan mo sa tipan at ang iyong pagiging mapagkakatiwalaan ay lagi pag-ingatan ako.

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

12 Nakapalibot sa akin ang hindi mabilang na kaguluhan; naipit ako ng aking kasamaan kaya wala na akong makitang anumang bagay; marami pa (sila) kaysa sa mga buhok sa aking ulo, at binigo ako ng aking puso.

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 Malugod ka, Yahweh, na ako ay iyong sagipin; magmadali kang tulungan ako, Yahweh.

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

14 Hayaan mo silang mapahiya at ganap na mabigo, silang mga naghahangad na kunin ang aking buhay. hayaan mo silang tumalikod at madala sa kahihiyan, silang mga nagagalak na saktan ako.

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 Hayaan mo silang masindak dahil sa kanilang kahihiyan, silang mga nagsasabi sa akin ng, “Aha, aha!”

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

16 Pero magalak nawa silang mga naghahanap sa iyo at sa iyo ay maging masaya; hayaan mong ang lahat ng nagmamahal sa iyong pagliligtas ang patuloy na magsabi, “Nawa si Yahweh ay mapapurihan.”

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 Ako ay mahirap at nangangailangan; pero iniisip pa rin ako ng Panginoon. Ikaw ang aking katuwang at dumating ka para sagipin ako; huwag kang magtagal aking Diyos.

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!]
