Psalms 140
1 To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. Deliver me, O Jehovah, from an evil man, From one of violence Thou keepest me.
Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Zabura ta Dawuda. Ka cece ni, ya Ubangiji, daga mugaye; ka tsare ni daga mutane masu rikici,
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
masu shirya maƙarƙashiya a zukatansu suna kuma kawo yaƙi kullum.
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of an adder [is] under their lips. (Selah)
Suna sa harsunansu su yi kaifi kamar na maciji; dafin gamsheƙa yana a leɓunansu. (Sela)
4 Preserve me, Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked, From one of violence Thou keepest me, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
Ka kiyaye ni, ya Ubangiji, daga hannuwan mugaye; ka tsare ni daga mutane masu rikici waɗanda suke shirin kwashe ni a ƙafafu.
5 The proud hid a snare for me — and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, Snares they have set for me. (Selah)
Masu girman kai sun sa mini tarko; sun shimfiɗa igiyoyin ragarsu sun kuma shirya mini tarko a hanyata. (Sela)
6 I have said to Jehovah, 'My God [art] Thou, Hear, Jehovah, the voice of my supplications.'
Ya Ubangiji, na ce maka, “Kai ne Allahna.” Ka ji kukata ta neman jinƙai, ya Ubangiji.
7 O Jehovah, my Lord, strength of my salvation, Thou hast covered my head in the day of armour.
Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, mai fansana mai ƙarfi, wanda yake garkuwoyin kaina a ranar yaƙi.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desires of the wicked, His wicked device bring not forth, They are high. (Selah)
Kada ka biya wa mugaye bukatunsu, ya Ubangiji; kada ka bar shirinsu su yi nasara, in ba haka ba za su yi fariya. (Sela)
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covereth them.
Bari kawunan waɗanda suka kewaye ni su rufu da masifun da leɓunansu suka jawo.
10 They cause to fall on themselves burning coals, Into fire He doth cast them, Into deep pits — they arise not.
Bari garwashin wuta yă zubo a kansu; bari a jefar da su cikin wuta, cikin rami mai zurfi, kada su sāke tashi.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence — evil hunteth to overflowing.
Kada masu ɓata suna su taɓa kahu a ƙasar; bari masifa ta farauci mutane masu rikici.
12 I have known that Jehovah doth execute The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Na san cewa Ubangiji ya shirya wa matalauta adalci yana kuma yi wa mabukata adalci.
13 Only — the righteous give thanks to Thy name, The upright do dwell with Thy presence!
Tabbatacce masu adalci za su yabi sunanka masu aikata gaskiya kuma za su zauna a gabanka.
