Zabura 124

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

A song of ascents. Of David. ‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us’ let Israel say

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

‘Had it not been the Lord who was for us when enemies rose against us,

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

then alive they’d have swallowed us up, when their anger was kindled against us.

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

Then the waters would’ve swept us away, and the torrent passed over us clean:

5 Da ruwa mai hauka ya share mu ƙaf.

then most sure would’ve passed over us clean the wild seething waters.’

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

Blest be the Lord who has given us not to be torn by their teeth.

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

We are like a bird just escaped from the snare of the fowler. The snare is broken, and we are escaped.

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

Our help is the name of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth.
