Psalms 124

1 A Song of Degrees. If it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, let Israel now say;

Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin Hadda reer binu Israa'iil ha yidhaahdeen,

2 if it had not been that the Lord was amongst us, when men rose up against us;

Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,

3 verily they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us:

Kolkaasay innagoo noolnool ina wada liqliqi lahaayeen, Markay aad inoogu cadhoodeen,

4 verily the water would have drowned us, our soul would have gone under the torrent.

Kolkaasay biyuhu ina qarqin lahaayeen, Durdurna nafteennuu dul mari lahaa,

5 Yes, our soul would have gone under the overwhelming water.

Oo kolkaasay biyaha kibirsanu nafteenna dul mari lahaayeen.

6 Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us for a prey to their teeth.

Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga Aan inaga dhigin ugaadh ilkahoodu ay qabsadaan.

7 Our soul has been delivered as a sparrow from the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Nafteennu waxay u baxsatay sida shimbir uga baxsato dabinka shimbirrodabtaha, Dabinkii wuu go'ay, innaguna waynu baxsannay.

8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.
