Zabura 140

1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Zabura ta Dawuda. Ka cece ni, ya Ubangiji, daga mugaye; ka tsare ni daga mutane masu rikici,

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. O Lord, take me out of the power of the evil man; keep me safe from the violent man:

2 masu shirya maƙarƙashiya a zukatansu suna kuma kawo yaƙi kullum.

For their hearts are full of evil designs; and they are ever making ready causes of war.

3 Suna sa harsunansu su yi kaifi kamar na maciji; dafin gamsheƙa yana a leɓunansu. (Sela)

Their tongues are sharp like the tongue of a snake; the poison of snakes is under their lips. (Selah)

4 Ka kiyaye ni, ya Ubangiji, daga hannuwan mugaye; ka tsare ni daga mutane masu rikici waɗanda suke shirin kwashe ni a ƙafafu.

O Lord, take me out of the hands of sinners; keep me safe from the violent man: for they are designing my downfall.

5 Masu girman kai sun sa mini tarko; sun shimfiɗa igiyoyin ragarsu sun kuma shirya mini tarko a hanyata. (Sela)

The men of pride have put secret cords for my feet; stretching nets in my way, so that they may take me with their tricks. (Selah)

6 Ya Ubangiji, na ce maka, “Kai ne Allahna.” Ka ji kukata ta neman jinƙai, ya Ubangiji.

I have said to the Lord, You are my God: give ear, O Lord, to the voice of my prayer.

7 Ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka, mai fansana mai ƙarfi, wanda yake garkuwoyin kaina a ranar yaƙi.

O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, you have been a cover over my head in the day of the fight.

8 Kada ka biya wa mugaye bukatunsu, ya Ubangiji; kada ka bar shirinsu su yi nasara, in ba haka ba za su yi fariya. (Sela)

O Lord, give not the wrongdoer his desire; give him no help in his evil designs, or he may be uplifted in pride. (Selah)

9 Bari kawunan waɗanda suka kewaye ni su rufu da masifun da leɓunansu suka jawo.

As for those who come round me, let their heads be covered by the evil of their lips.

10 Bari garwashin wuta yă zubo a kansu; bari a jefar da su cikin wuta, cikin rami mai zurfi, kada su sāke tashi.

Let burning flames come down on them: let them be put into the fire, and into deep waters, so that they may not get up again.

11 Kada masu ɓata suna su taɓa kahu a ƙasar; bari masifa ta farauci mutane masu rikici.

Let not a man of evil tongue be safe on earth: let destruction overtake the violent man with blow on blow.

12 Na san cewa Ubangiji ya shirya wa matalauta adalci yana kuma yi wa mabukata adalci.

I am certain that the Lord will take care of the cause of the poor, and of the rights of those who are troubled.

13 Tabbatacce masu adalci za su yabi sunanka masu aikata gaskiya kuma za su zauna a gabanka.

Truly, the upright will give praise to your name: the holy will have a place in your house.
