Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 26 march 2012
Dapat magpakababa
At maglingkod sa iba,
Pasanin 'yong kalbario
At tularan si Cristo,
Tunay at likas na Dios
Ngunit 'di inari'ng kadaklan,
Ang Hari ng ouranos
Na hinubad kalwalhatian,
Sia na Dios na bumaba
Bilang Anak ng Tao,
Hirap ng alipi'y kinuha
At sumunod hanggang napako
Kaya't Sia'y dinakilang lubos
At sa lahat Sia ay inungos
Na ang lahat Sia'y luluhuran
At si Cristo'y pananambahan.
(Meekness must be accepted
And into serving be led,
Carry your cross, you Christian
And imitate Christ the Son,
Though, in being, God truly
But His glory He did not held on,
Reigned over heavens Kingly
But His majesty He abandoned,
God Himself who descended
To become a son of man,
Grasped servant-hood to be afflicted
And up to the cross was compliant
Therefore, He was glorified greatly
And o'er all, given authority
That for Him, to knees, all will be on
And to Christ be all adoration.)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 19 march 2012
Ang mga kaalaman
Ay nakukuha sa pagbasa
At ang kaintindihan
Nakukuha sa pag-obserba
Ngunit ang magkaroon
Ng isang karunungan
Ay ibang daan ang paroon;
Paggalang sa Dios ang simula!
(Anyone can be knowing
By reading books or composition
And one gets understanding
By having careful observation
But having an attainment
Of wisdom in ev'rything
Has a pathway that is different;
To revere God's the first progression!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 19 march 2012
Dakila ka, O Diyos,
Ako'y namamangha sa Iyo!
Pinuno mo'ng ouranos
Ng kadak'la't kabanalan mo
At tulad ko'y marumi;
O aba sa'king lubos!
Sa biyaya Mo, Ikaw pa ri'y
Nagmamaha sa isang tulad ko!
(How great are You, O Most High
O how I am so amazed by You!
For Your glory fills the sky
And so does the holiness of You
And such like me is undone;
O how so woeful am I!
But still Your grace reached out to this man,
Your love - the greatest - brought me to You!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 15 march 2012
Ika'y hari sa ngayon
At mundo'y iyong reyno,
Babagsak ka, Apollyon -
Dios ang tatapos sa'yo!
(Currently, as king, you reign
And o'er this world reigns your throne.
Apollyon. you'll be fallen -
By God, you'll be overthrown!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 15 march 2012
Mga trono'y lumipas,
Mga reyno'y nabigo -
David, 'yong trono'y wagas,
Tunay na am'rantino!
(Passing, thrones came to final,
Failing, kingdoms have declined
David, Your throne's eternal,
Truly an amaranthine!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 15 march 2012
Si Cesar ay namatay
At Roma'y bumagsak -
Ariel, Hari mo'y buhay
At 'di ka mawawasak!
(Caesar is no more to thrive
And fallen now's Ancient Rome -
Ariel, your King is alive,
Abaddon won't be your home!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 15 march 2012
Jacob, bukod ka ng D'yos
Kanyang mata'y 'yong bantay -
Ilaw mo'y di 'uupos
Tanglaw mo'y 'di huhumpay!
(Jacob, You are God's chosen
And the apple of His eye -
Your light will never darken
And your lamp will never die!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 15 march 2012
Sa aking kahinaan,
Yahweh, lakas ko'y ikaw,
'Pagkat sa karimlan man
Ika'y wagas na ilaw!
(In my utterly weakness
Great I AM, You are my might,
For even in the darkness
You're an everlasting light!)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 4 january 2012
Tayo man ay manghina,
Tayo ma'y manghimagod,
Kay Yahweh'y magtiwala
'Pagkat s'ya'y ating tanod.
(Though to be weak we may be
And be lead in much distress,
Trust to the LORD Almighty
For over us, He watches.)
Yehoshua ben Peleh Shim'onai, 4 january 2012
Araw ma'y nagtatagal,
Lahat ma'y tila pigil,
Sabi ni Yahweh'y pinal -
Husgang 'di mapipigil!
(The sun's steps may be delayed
And seemingly slow are all
But certain's what the Lord said -
His judgement's unstoppable!)
