Ang Dangatan sang Malaot kag sang Maayo

37 Indi ka magpanginit sa malaot nga mga tawo,
ukon magkahisa sa ila nga mga nagahimo sang malain.
Kay sa indi madugay mangin pareho sila sa hilamon nga magakalamatay
ukon pareho sa malagtom nga mga tanom nga magakalalaya.

Magsalig ka sa Ginoo kag maghimo sang maayo.
Magpuyo ka sa duta nga wala sing may ginakahadlukan nga katalagman.
Pangitaa ang imo kalipay sa Ginoo
kag ihatag niya sa imo ang imo ginahandom.
Itugyan ang bug-os mo nga kabuhi sa Ginoo;
magsalig sa iya kag himuon niya ini:
Ipahayag niya sang klaro nga matarong ka kag wala sing sala,
pareho ka klaro sang adlaw nga nagasilak kon udto.
Magpakalinong ka sa presensya sang Ginoo kag maghulat nga mapailubon sa iya nga himuon.
Indi ka magpanginit sa mga tawo nga mainuswagon, nga madinalag-on sa ila malaot nga mga plano.
Indi ka magpangakig ukon magkaugot sa ila.
Indi ka magpanginit, kay makapalain lang ina sa imo.
Kay ang malaot nga mga tawo palayason sa duta sang Israel,
pero atong nagasalig sa Ginoo padayon nga magaestar[a] sa sina nga duta.
10 Sa indi madugay magakaladula ang mga malaot.
Bisan pangitaon pa ninyo sila, indi na ninyo sila makita.
11 Pero ang mga mapainubuson padayon nga magaestar sa duta sang Israel nga maayo gid ang ila kahimtangan.

12 Ang mga malaot nagaplano sing malain sa mga matarong,
kag ginakainitan nila sila.
13 Pero nagakadlaw lang ang Ginoo sa mga malaot,
kay nahibaluan niya nga madali na lang ang tion nga laglagon sila.
14 Ginagabot sang mga malaot ang ila mga espada
kag ginabinat nila ang ila mga pana
agod patyon ang mga kubos kag mga imol nga nagakabuhi sing husto.
15 Pero sila mismo ang matuhog sang ila mga espada,
kag ang ila mga pana pamalion.

16 Ang diutay nga iya sang matarong mas maayo pa sang sa madamo nga manggad sang mga malaot.
17 Kay kuhaon sang Ginoo ang ikasarang sang mga malaot,
pero buligan niya ang mga matarong.
18 Nagakabalaka ang Ginoo sa mga pagkinahanglan sang mga tawo nga ang ila kabuhi wala sing kasawayan.
Kag ang ila palanublion mangin ila hasta san-o.
19 Sa tion sang kalamidad indi sila maano,
bisan pa sa tion sang gutom may madamo sila nga pagkaon.
20 Pero ang mga malaot magakalaglag.
Sila nga mga kaaway sang Ginoo magakalamatay pareho sa bulak.
Magakaladula sila nga daw aso.

21 Ang mga malaot nagahulam kag wala nagabayad.
Pero ang mga matarong mahinatagon.
22 Ang mga ginapakamaayo sang Ginoo padayon nga magaestar sa duta sang Israel.
Pero ang mga ginapakamalaot niya palayason sa sina nga duta.
23 Ginagiyahan sang Ginoo ang mga tikang sang tawo nga ang iya pagkabuhi makapalipay sa iya.
24 Bisan masandad siya, indi siya matumba
tungod kay ginauyatan siya sang Ginoo.

25 Halin sang akon pagkabata hasta subong nga tigulang na ako,
wala pa ako makakita nga ang mga matarong ginpabay-an sang Ginoo
ukon ang ila mga kabataan nagapangayo-ngayo sang pagkaon.
26 Permi pa gani sila nagahatag kag nagapahulam,
kag ang ila mga kabataan nangin pagpakamaayo sa iban.

27 Likawi ang malain kag himua ang maayo
agod makaestar kamo sa duta sang Israel hasta san-o.
28 Kay naluyag ang Ginoo sa hustisya
kag wala niya ginapabay-an ang mga matutom sa iya.
Pagatipigan niya sila hasta san-o,
pero ang mga kaliwat sang mga malaot palayason sa duta sang Israel.
29 Ang mga matarong iya padayon nga magaestar sa sina nga duta hasta san-o.

30 Ang ginahambal sang matarong may kaalam kag husto.
31 Ginahuptan niya ang kasuguan sang iya Dios sa iya tagipusuon kag wala niya ginalapas ini.
32 Ang mga malaot nagahulat sa pagsalakay sa mga matarong,
kag nagatinguha sila sa pagpatay sa ila.
33 Pero indi pag-itugyan sang Ginoo ang mga matarong sa kamot sang mga malaot.
Indi niya pag-itugot nga ang mga matarong sentensyahan nga silutan kon dal-on sila sa korte.

34 Magsalig ka sa Ginoo kag sunda ang iya pamaagi,
kag padunggan niya ikaw kay padayon niya ikaw nga paestaron sa duta sang Israel.
Makita mo kon palayason na ang mga malaot sa sina nga duta.

35 May nakita ako sadto nga malaot nga tawo nga nagapamigos.
Ginakabig niya ang iya kaugalingon nga labaw sang sa iban;
pareho siya sa matag-as nga mga kahoy nga sedro sang Lebanon.[b]
36 Pero sang ulihi napatay siya;[c] wala na siya.
Ginpangita ko siya, pero wala ko na siya makita.
37 Tan-awa sing maayo ang tawo nga wala sing kasawayan kag nagakabuhi sing husto kag malinong.
May maayo siya nga palaabuton.[d]
38 Pero ang tanan nga makasasala pagalaglagon;
dulaon ang ila maayo nga palaabuton.[e]
39 Ang kaluwasan sang mga matarong nagahalin sa Ginoo.
Siya ang ila mabakod nga dalangpan sa tion sang kalisod.
40 Ginabuligan niya sila kag ginaluwas sa mga malaot,
tungod kay nagapangayo sila sang proteksyon sa iya.

Psalm 37[a]

Of David.

Do not fret because of those who are evil
    or be envious(A) of those who do wrong;(B)
for like the grass they will soon wither,(C)
    like green plants they will soon die away.(D)

Trust in the Lord and do good;
    dwell in the land(E) and enjoy safe pasture.(F)
Take delight(G) in the Lord,
    and he will give you the desires of your heart.(H)

Commit your way to the Lord;
    trust in him(I) and he will do this:
He will make your righteous reward(J) shine like the dawn,(K)
    your vindication like the noonday sun.

Be still(L) before the Lord
    and wait patiently(M) for him;
do not fret(N) when people succeed in their ways,(O)
    when they carry out their wicked schemes.(P)

Refrain from anger(Q) and turn from wrath;
    do not fret(R)—it leads only to evil.
For those who are evil will be destroyed,(S)
    but those who hope(T) in the Lord will inherit the land.(U)

10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more;(V)
    though you look for them, they will not be found.
11 But the meek will inherit the land(W)
    and enjoy peace and prosperity.(X)

12 The wicked plot(Y) against the righteous
    and gnash their teeth(Z) at them;
13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,
    for he knows their day is coming.(AA)

14 The wicked draw the sword(AB)
    and bend the bow(AC)
to bring down the poor and needy,(AD)
    to slay those whose ways are upright.
15 But their swords will pierce their own hearts,(AE)
    and their bows will be broken.(AF)

16 Better the little that the righteous have
    than the wealth(AG) of many wicked;
17 for the power of the wicked will be broken,(AH)
    but the Lord upholds(AI) the righteous.

18 The blameless spend their days under the Lord’s care,(AJ)
    and their inheritance will endure forever.(AK)
19 In times of disaster they will not wither;
    in days of famine they will enjoy plenty.

20 But the wicked will perish:(AL)
    Though the Lord’s enemies are like the flowers of the field,
    they will be consumed, they will go up in smoke.(AM)

21 The wicked borrow and do not repay,
    but the righteous give generously;(AN)
22 those the Lord blesses will inherit the land,
    but those he curses(AO) will be destroyed.(AP)

23 The Lord makes firm the steps(AQ)
    of the one who delights(AR) in him;
24 though he may stumble, he will not fall,(AS)
    for the Lord upholds(AT) him with his hand.

25 I was young and now I am old,
    yet I have never seen the righteous forsaken(AU)
    or their children begging(AV) bread.
26 They are always generous and lend freely;(AW)
    their children will be a blessing.[b](AX)

27 Turn from evil and do good;(AY)
    then you will dwell in the land forever.(AZ)
28 For the Lord loves the just
    and will not forsake his faithful ones.(BA)

Wrongdoers will be completely destroyed[c];
    the offspring of the wicked will perish.(BB)
29 The righteous will inherit the land(BC)
    and dwell in it forever.(BD)

30 The mouths of the righteous utter wisdom,(BE)
    and their tongues speak what is just.
31 The law of their God is in their hearts;(BF)
    their feet do not slip.(BG)

32 The wicked lie in wait(BH) for the righteous,(BI)
    intent on putting them to death;
33 but the Lord will not leave them in the power of the wicked
    or let them be condemned(BJ) when brought to trial.(BK)

34 Hope in the Lord(BL)
    and keep his way.(BM)
He will exalt you to inherit the land;
    when the wicked are destroyed,(BN) you will see(BO) it.

35 I have seen a wicked and ruthless man
    flourishing(BP) like a luxuriant native tree,
36 but he soon passed away and was no more;
    though I looked for him, he could not be found.(BQ)

37 Consider the blameless,(BR) observe the upright;(BS)
    a future awaits those who seek peace.[d](BT)
38 But all sinners(BU) will be destroyed;(BV)
    there will be no future[e] for the wicked.(BW)

39 The salvation(BX) of the righteous comes from the Lord;
    he is their stronghold in time of trouble.(BY)
40 The Lord helps(BZ) them and delivers(CA) them;
    he delivers them from the wicked and saves(CB) them,
    because they take refuge(CC) in him.

37 Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Trust in the Lord, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the Lord, they shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

13 The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord upholdeth the righteous.

18 The Lord knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

19 They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

22 For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way.

24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

25 I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

26 He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

27 Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

33 The Lord will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

36 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.
