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. David’s. If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, oh might Israel say:

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

If it had not been, Yahweh, who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

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

Then, alive, had they swallowed us up, in the glow of their anger against us;

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

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

5 Da ruwa mai hauka ya share mu ƙaf.

Then, had gone over our soul the waters so proud!

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

Blessed, be Yahweh, who gave us not as prey to their teeth.

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

Our soul, as a bird, hath escaped from the snare of the fowlers, The snare, is broken, and, we, are escaped:

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

Our help, is in the Name of Yahweh, who made heaven and earth.
