< Psalms 129 >
1 A Song of Ascents. Many a time, have they harassed me from my youth, well may Israel say:
Tan iyo yaraantaydii marar badan bay i dhibeen, Reer binu Israa'iil hadda ha yidhaahdeen,
2 Many a time, have they harassed me from youth, yet have they not prevailed against me.
Tan iyo yaraantaydii marar badan bay i dhibeen, Laakiinse igama ay adkaan.
3 Upon my back, have ploughmen ploughed, They have lengthened their furrow!
Kuwa beerta jeexa ayaa dhabarkayga jeexay, Oo jeexjeexoodiina way dheereeyeen.
4 Yahweh, is righteous, He hath cut asunder the cords of the lawless.
Rabbigu waa xaq, Oo isagu wuxuu kala gooyay xadhkihii kuwa sharka leh.
5 Let all who hate Zion, be ashamed and shrink back:
Inta Siyoon neceb oo dhammu, Ha ceeboobeen oo dib ha u noqdeen.
6 Let them become like the grass of housetops, which, before it is pulled up, hath withered;
Ha noqdeen sida cawska guryaha korkooda ka baxa Oo engega intaanu korin,
7 Wherewith no reaper, hath filled his hand, nor binder, his bosom:
Oo aan beergooyuhu gacantiisa ka buuxin, Kan xidhmooyinka xidhaana aanu laabtiisa ka buuxin.
8 Neither have the passers-by ever said, The blessing of Yahweh, be unto you, —We have blessed you in the Name of Yahweh.
Oo kuwa ag maraana ma yidhaahdaan, Barakadii Rabbigu korkiinna ha ahaato. Waxaan idiinku ducaynaynaa magaca Rabbiga.
