Zabura 129

1 Waƙar haurawa. Sun yi mini danniya ƙwarai tun ina ƙarami, bari Isra’ila yă ce,

A Song of degrees. Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth — oh let Israel say —

2 sun yi mini danniya ƙwarai tun ina ƙarami, amma ba su yi nasara a kaina ba.

Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me.

3 Manoma sun nome bayana suka yi kunyoyinsu da tsayi.

The ploughers ploughed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

4 Amma Ubangiji mai adalci ne; ya’yantar da ni daga igiyoyin mugaye.

Jehovah is righteous: he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.

5 Bari dukan waɗanda suke ƙin Sihiyona a juye da su baya da kunya.

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all that hate Zion;

6 Bari su zama kamar ciyawa a kan rufi, wadda takan bushe kafin tă yi girma;

Let them be as the grass upon the house-tops, which withereth before it is plucked up,

7 da ita mai girbi ba ya iya cika hannuwansa, balle wanda yake tarawa yă cika hannuwansa.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom;

8 Kada masu wuce su ce, “Albarkar Ubangiji ta kasance a kanku; muna sa muku albarka a cikin sunan Ubangiji.”

Neither do the passers-by say, The blessing of Jehovah be upon you; we bless you in the name of Jehovah!
