< Psalms 124 >
1 If it had not been that the Lord was with 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 with us, When men rose up against us,
Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,
3 Perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us,
Kolkaasay innagoo noolnool ina wada liqliqi lahaayeen, Markay aad inoogu cadhoodeen,
4 Perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
Kolkaasay biyuhu ina qarqin lahaayeen, Durdurna nafteennuu dul mari lahaa,
5 Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
Oo kolkaasay biyaha kibirsanu nafteenna dul mari lahaayeen.
6 Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga Aan inaga dhigin ugaadh ilkahoodu ay qabsadaan.
7 Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the followers. 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.
