Zabura 129

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

A Song of Ascents. Many a time, have they harassed me from my youth, well may Israel say:

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

Many a time, have they harassed me from youth, yet have they not prevailed against me.

3 Manoma sun nome bayana suka yi kunyoyinsu da tsayi.

Upon my back, have ploughmen ploughed, They have lengthened their furrow!

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

Yahweh, is righteous, He hath cut asunder the cords of the lawless.

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

Let all who hate Zion, be ashamed and shrink back:

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

Let them become like the grass of housetops, which, before it is pulled up, hath withered;

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

Wherewith no reaper, hath filled his hand, nor binder, his bosom:

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

Neither have the passers-by ever said, The blessing of Yahweh, be unto you, —We have blessed you in the Name of Yahweh.
