Zabura 124

1 Waƙar haurawa. Ta Dawuda. Da ba don Ubangiji ya kasance a gefenmu ba, bari Isra’ila yă ce,

A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

2 da ba don Ubangiji ya kasance a gefenmu ba sa’ad da aka auka mana,

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

3 sa’ad da fushinsu ya ƙuna a kanmu, ai, da sun haɗiye mu da rai;

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 da rigyawa ta kwashe mu, da ambaliya ta rufe mu.

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5 Da ruwa mai hauka ya share mu ƙaf.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, wanda bai bari aka yayyage mu da haƙoransu ba.

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

7 Mun tsira kamar tsuntsu daga tarkon mai farauta; an tsinke tarko, muka kuwa tsira.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Taimakonmu yana a sunan Ubangiji, Wanda ya yi sama da ƙasa.

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
