Pangamuyo para sa Nasyon sa Tion sang Kalisod

74 O Dios, ngaa bala nga padayon mo kami nga ginasikway?
Ngaa akig ka sa katawhan nga imo ginabantayan?
O Dios, dumduma ang imo katawhan nga ginpili mo sang una nga mangin imo kag ginluwas mo agod imo panag-iyahan.
Dumduma ang Bukid sang Zion nga sa diin nagapuyo ka.
Kadtui bala kag tan-awa ang padayon nga pagkaguba sang templo tungod sang ginhimo sang mga kaaway.
Naghinugyaw ang imo mga kaaway sa imo templo[a] sa pagpakita nga nagdaog sila kontra sa imo katawhan.
Nagbutang sila dira sang tanda sang ila pagdaog.
Sa ila pagguba sa templo daw pareho sila sa mga tawo nga nagapang-utod sang mga kahoy sa kakahuyan paagi sa ila mga wasay.[b]
Ginwasak nila ang ginkortihan nga mga kahoy sang templo paagi sa ila mga wasay kag mga piko.
Ginsunog nila ang imo templo;
ginhigkuan nila ining imo ginapuy-an.
Nagsiling sila sa ila kaugalingon nga laglagon nila kami sing bug-os.
Ginsunog nila ang tanan nga ginatipunan sa pagsimba sa imo diri sa duta sang Israel.
Nadula na ang tanda sang imo presensya sa amon;
wala na sing propeta nga nabilin,
kag wala sing may nakahibalo sa amon kon hasta san-o pa matapos ining nagakalatabo sa amon.

10 O Dios, hasta san-o pa bala ang pagpakahuya sang amon mga kaaway sa imo?
Yagutaon ka na lang bala nila sa wala sing katapusan?
11 Ngaa wala mo pa sila pagsiluti?
Pareho lang nga gintago mo ang imo kamot.
Laglaga na sila!
12 Ikaw, O Dios, ang amon hari halin pa sang una,
kag madamo nga beses nga ginluwas mo ang mga tawo sa kalibutan.[c]
13 Ikaw ang nagtunga sang dagat paagi sa imo gahom,
kag ikaw ang nagdunot sang mga ulo sang dalagko nga mga sapat sa dagat.
14 Ikaw ang nagdugmok sang mga ulo sang dragon nga Leviatan kag nagpakaon sang iya bangkay sa mga sapat nga nagaestar sa kamingawan.
15 Ikaw ang nagpatubod sang mga tuburan kag mga ililigan sang tubig.
Ikaw ang nagpahubas sa mga suba nga wala nagakahubsan.
16 Ikaw ang naghimo sang adlaw kag sang gab-i,
kag ikaw ang nagpahamtang sang adlaw kag sang bulan sa ila nahamtangan.
17 Ikaw ang nagbutang sang tanan nga dulunan sa kalibutan,
kag ikaw ang naghimo sang tig-ilinit kag sang tigtulugnaw.

18 Dumduma, Ginoo, kon paano ka ginpakahuy-an kag ginyaguta sang buang-buang nga mga kaaway.
19 Ang imo katawhan nga daw pareho sa pating indi pag-itugyan sa ila mga kaaway nga daw pareho sa mabangis nga sapat.
Indi pagkalimti hasta san-o ang imo katawhan nga ginapigos.
20 Dumduma ang imo kasugtanan sa amon,
kay madamo na nga pagpamintas ang ginahimo sa madulom nga mga lugar sa sini nga duta.
21 Indi pag-itugot nga mahuy-an ang mga ginapigos.
Kabay pa nga dayawon ka sang mga kubos kag mga imol.
22 Sige na, O Dios, depensahi ang imo dungog.
Dumduma kon paano ka ginapakahuy-an permi sang mga buang-buang.
23 Indi pagpabay-i ang wala sing untat nga singgit sang imo mga kaaway sa pagpakita sang ila kaakig.

Psalm 74

A maskil[a] of Asaph.

O God, why have you rejected(A) us forever?(B)
    Why does your anger smolder against the sheep of your pasture?(C)
Remember the nation you purchased(D) long ago,(E)
    the people of your inheritance,(F) whom you redeemed(G)
    Mount Zion,(H) where you dwelt.(I)
Turn your steps toward these everlasting ruins,(J)
    all this destruction the enemy has brought on the sanctuary.

Your foes roared(K) in the place where you met with us;
    they set up their standards(L) as signs.
They behaved like men wielding axes
    to cut through a thicket of trees.(M)
They smashed all the carved(N) paneling
    with their axes and hatchets.
They burned your sanctuary to the ground;
    they defiled(O) the dwelling place(P) of your Name.(Q)
They said in their hearts, “We will crush(R) them completely!”
    They burned(S) every place where God was worshiped in the land.

We are given no signs from God;(T)
    no prophets(U) are left,
    and none of us knows how long this will be.
10 How long(V) will the enemy mock(W) you, God?
    Will the foe revile(X) your name forever?
11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?(Y)
    Take it from the folds of your garment(Z) and destroy them!

12 But God is my King(AA) from long ago;
    he brings salvation(AB) on the earth.

13 It was you who split open the sea(AC) by your power;
    you broke the heads of the monster(AD) in the waters.
14 It was you who crushed the heads of Leviathan(AE)
    and gave it as food to the creatures of the desert.(AF)
15 It was you who opened up springs(AG) and streams;
    you dried up(AH) the ever-flowing rivers.
16 The day is yours, and yours also the night;
    you established the sun and moon.(AI)
17 It was you who set all the boundaries(AJ) of the earth;
    you made both summer and winter.(AK)

18 Remember how the enemy has mocked you, Lord,
    how foolish people(AL) have reviled your name.
19 Do not hand over the life of your dove(AM) to wild beasts;
    do not forget the lives of your afflicted(AN) people forever.
20 Have regard for your covenant,(AO)
    because haunts of violence fill the dark places(AP) of the land.
21 Do not let the oppressed(AQ) retreat in disgrace;
    may the poor and needy(AR) praise your name.
22 Rise up,(AS) O God, and defend your cause;
    remember how fools(AT) mock you all day long.
23 Do not ignore the clamor(AU) of your adversaries,(AV)
    the uproar(AW) of your enemies,(AX) which rises continually.

  1. Psalm 74:1 Title: Probably a literary or musical term

74 O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

Remember thy congregation, which thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed; this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual desolations; even all that the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.

Thine enemies roar in the midst of thy congregations; they set up their ensigns for signs.

A man was famous according as he had lifted up axes upon the thick trees.

But now they break down the carved work thereof at once with axes and hammers.

They have cast fire into thy sanctuary, they have defiled by casting down the dwelling place of thy name to the ground.

They said in their hearts, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

10 O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

11 Why withdrawest thou thy hand, even thy right hand? pluck it out of thy bosom.

12 For God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.

13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.

14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces, and gavest him to be meat to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

15 Thou didst cleave the fountain and the flood: thou driedst up mighty rivers.

16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sun.

17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.

18 Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Lord, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

19 O deliver not the soul of thy turtledove unto the multitude of the wicked: forget not the congregation of thy poor for ever.

20 Have respect unto the covenant: for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of cruelty.

21 O let not the oppressed return ashamed: let the poor and needy praise thy name.

22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

23 Forget not the voice of thine enemies: the tumult of those that rise up against thee increaseth continually.
