Isa lang gid ang Matuod nga Dios

115 Ginoo, indi kami ang dapat padunggan kundi ikaw,
tungod sang imo gugma kag katutom.
Ngaa ginainsulto kami sang iban nga mga nasyon paagi sa pagsiling, “Diin na bala ang inyo Dios?”

Ang amon Dios ara sa langit kag ginahimo niya ang bisan ano nga iya naluyagan.
Pero ang ila mga dios-dios hinimo man lang sang tawo halin sa pilak kag bulawan.
May mga baba ini, pero indi makahambal;
may mga mata, pero indi makakita.
May mga dulunggan, pero indi makabati;
may mga ilong, pero indi makapanimaho.
May mga kamot, pero indi makauyat;
may mga tiil, pero indi makalakat,
kag bisan tingog wala ka sing may mabatian.
Ang nagahimo sang sini nga mga dios-dios kag ang tanan nga nagasalig sa ila mangin pareho man sa ila nga wala sing pulos.

9-10 Kamo nga katawhan sang Israel, pati na kamo nga mga kaliwat ni Aaron, magsalig kamo sa Ginoo.
Siya ang inyo manugbulig kag manugprotektar.
11 Kamo nga mga nagatahod sa Ginoo, magsalig kamo sa iya.
Siya ang inyo manugbulig kag manugprotektar.
12 Ginadumdom kita sang Ginoo, kag pakamaayuhon niya kita.
Pakamaayuhon niya ang katawhan sang Israel pati na ang mga kaliwat ni Aaron.
13 Pakamaayuhon niya ang tanan nga nagatahod sa iya, bantog man ukon indi.
14 Kabay pa nga kamo kag ang inyo mga kaliwat padamuon sang Ginoo.
15 Kabay pa nga pakamaayuhon kamo sang Ginoo nga nagtuga sang kalangitan kag sang kalibutan.
16 Ang kalangitan iya sang Ginoo, pero ang kalibutan gintugyan niya sa mga tawo.
17 Indi ang mga patay ang magadayaw sa Ginoo, kay indi na gani sila makatingog,
18 kundi kita nga mga buhi amo ang magadayaw sa iya subong kag hasta san-o.

Dayawa ang Ginoo!

The Futility of Idols and the Trustworthiness of God

115 Not (A)unto us, O Lord, not unto us,
But to Your name give glory,
Because of Your mercy,
Because of Your truth.
Why should the [a]Gentiles say,
(B)“So where is their God?”

(C)But our God is in heaven;
He does whatever He pleases.
(D)Their idols are silver and gold,
The work of men’s hands.
They have mouths, but they do not speak;
Eyes they have, but they do not see;
They have ears, but they do not hear;
Noses they have, but they do not smell;
They have hands, but they do not handle;
Feet they have, but they do not walk;
Nor do they mutter through their throat.
(E)Those who make them are like them;
So is everyone who trusts in them.

(F)O Israel, trust in the Lord;
(G)He is their help and their shield.
10 O house of Aaron, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.
11 You who fear the Lord, trust in the Lord;
He is their help and their shield.

12 The Lord [b]has been mindful of us;
He will bless us;
He will bless the house of Israel;
He will bless the house of Aaron.
13 (H)He will bless those who fear the Lord,
Both small and great.

14 May the Lord give you increase more and more,
You and your children.
15 May you be (I)blessed by the Lord,
(J)Who made heaven and earth.

16 The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s;
But the earth He has given to the children of men.
17 (K)The dead do not praise the Lord,
Nor any who go down into silence.
18 (L)But we will bless the Lord
From this time forth and forevermore.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 115(A)

Not to us, Lord, not to us
    but to your name be the glory,(B)
    because of your love and faithfulness.(C)

Why do the nations say,
    “Where is their God?”(D)
Our God is in heaven;(E)
    he does whatever pleases him.(F)
But their idols are silver and gold,(G)
    made by human hands.(H)
They have mouths, but cannot speak,(I)
    eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear,
    noses, but cannot smell.
They have hands, but cannot feel,
    feet, but cannot walk,
    nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them,
    and so will all who trust in them.

All you Israelites, trust(J) in the Lord
    he is their help and shield.
10 House of Aaron,(K) trust in the Lord
    he is their help and shield.
11 You who fear him,(L) trust in the Lord
    he is their help and shield.

12 The Lord remembers(M) us and will bless us:(N)
    He will bless his people Israel,
    he will bless the house of Aaron,
13 he will bless those who fear(O) the Lord
    small and great alike.

14 May the Lord cause you to flourish,(P)
    both you and your children.
15 May you be blessed by the Lord,
    the Maker of heaven(Q) and earth.

16 The highest heavens belong to the Lord,(R)
    but the earth he has given(S) to mankind.
17 It is not the dead(T) who praise the Lord,
    those who go down to the place of silence;
18 it is we who extol the Lord,(U)
    both now and forevermore.(V)

Praise the Lord.[a](W)
