Zabura 124

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

You Israeli [people], [answer this question]: What [would have happened to us] if Yahweh had not been (helping/fighting for) us?

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

When [our enemies] attacked us, if Yahweh had not been fighting for us,

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

we would have all been killed [IDM] because they were very angry with us!

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

[They would have been like] [MET] a flood that swept/carried us away; [it would have been as though] the water would have covered us,

5 Da ruwa mai hauka ya share mu ƙaf.

and we would [all] have drowned in the flood that was (raging/flowing very fast).

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

[But] praise Yahweh, because he has not allowed our [enemies to destroy us] [like wild animals] [MET] tear apart [the creatures that they capture].

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

We have escaped [from our enemies] like a bird escapes from the trap that hunters have set; [it is as though] the trap [that our enemies set for us] was broken and we have escaped from it!

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

Yahweh is the one who helps us [MTY]; he is the one who made heaven and the earth.
