Psalms 81
1 Sing [songs] to praise God, who enables us to be strong [when we fight our enemies]; shout joyfully to God, whom we (descendants of Jacob/Israeli people) [worship]!
Kantaanyo iti napigsa ti Dios a pigsatayo; idir-iyo ti ragsakyo a maipaay iti Dios ni Jacob.
2 Start [playing] the music, and beat the tambourines, and play nice music on the harps and (lyres/other stringed instruments).
Agkantakayo ken tukarenyo ti pandereta, ti makaay-ayo ti unina a lira a mabuyogan iti arpa.
3 Blow the trumpets [during the festival to celebrate] each new moon and each time the moon is full and during our [other] festivals.
Puyotanyo ti tangguyob iti aldaw iti baro a bulan, iti aldaw ti kabus, inton mangrugi ti piestatayo.
4 [Do that] because that is a law for [us] Israeli [people]; God commanded it for us descendants of Jacob.
Ta daytoy ket linteg para iti Israel, maysa a bilin nga inted ti Dios ni Jacob.
5 He commanded us Israeli [people to obey it] when he punished [the people of] Egypt. I heard someone [MTY] whose voice I did not recognize, saying,
Impaulogna daytoy a kas pagalagadan kenni Jose idi binusorna ti daga ti Egipto, a nakangngegak iti pagsasao a saanko nga ammo.
6 “[After the rulers of Egypt forced you Israelis to work as slaves], I took those [heavy] burdens off your backs, and I enabled you to lay down those [heavy] baskets [of bricks that you were carrying].
“Inikkatko ti dadagsen iti abagana; nawaya-wayaan dagiti imana manipud iti panangig-iggemna iti basket.
7 When you were [greatly] distressed, you called [out to me], and I rescued you; I answered you out of a thundercloud. [Later] I tested [whether you would trust me to give you] water [when you were in the desert] at Meribah.
Iti panagtutuokyo, immawagkayo, ket tinulongankayo; sinungbatankayo manipud iti nasipnget nga ulep ti gurruod. Sinuotkayo kadagiti danum idiay Meriba. (Selah)
8 [You who are] my people, listen while I warn you! I wish that you Israeli [people] would pay attention to what I [say to you]!
Dumngegkayo dakayo a tattaok, ta ballaagankayo, O Israel, no laeng koma ta dumngegkayo kaniak!
9 You must not have any idols of other gods among you; you must never bow to worship any of them!
Masapul nga awan ti ganganaet a dios kadakayo; masapul a saanyo a dayawen ti aniaman a ganganaet a dios.
10 I am Yahweh, your God; It was [not any of those other gods] who brought you out of Egypt, I am the one who did it! [So] ask me what you want me to do for you [MTY], and I will do it.
Siak ni Yahweh a Diosyo, a nangiruar kadakayo manipud iti daga ti Egipto. Ingangam ta ngiwatmo, ket punnoek dayta.
11 But my people would not listen to me [SYN]; they would not obey me.
Ngem saan a dimngeg dagiti tattaok kadagiti sasaok; saannak nga impangag ti Israel.
12 So even though they were very stubborn, I allowed them to do whatever they wanted to do.
Isu nga inyawatko ida iti kinasukirda tapno maaramidda ti ipagarupda nga umno.
13 I wish that my people would listen to me, that the Israeli [people] would behave as I want them to do.
No koma ta dumngeg kaniak dagiti tattaok; no koma ta magna dagiti tattaok kadagiti dalanko.
14 [If they did that], I would quickly defeat their enemies; I would strike/punish [all of] them [DOU].
Ket dagus a parmekek dagiti kabusorda ken ibaw-ingko ti imak maibusor kadagiti mangidaddadanes kadakuada.
15 [Then all] those who hate me would (cringe before/bow down to) me, and [then I] would punish them [MTY] forever.
Agtigerger koma iti butengda dagiti manggurgura kenni Yahweh iti sangoananna! Maibabainda koma iti agnanayon.
16 [But] I would give you [Israelis] very good wheat/grain, and I would fill your stomachs with wild honey.”
Taraonakto ti Israel iti kasasayaatan a trigo; pennekenkayonto iti diro a naggapu kadagiti dadakkel a bato.”
