Zabura 141
1 Zabura ta Dawuda. Na yi kira gare ka, ya Ubangiji; ka zo da sauri. Ka ji muryata sa’ad da na yi kira.
“A psalm of David.” O Lord, I call thee, hasten unto me: give ear unto my voice, when I call unto thee.
2 Bari a sa addu’ata a gabanka kamar turaren ƙonawa; bari ɗagawa hannuwana ta zama kamar hadayar yamma.
May my prayer be valued as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands, as the evening offering.
3 Ka sa mai tsaro a bakina, ya Ubangiji; ka yi tsaron ƙofar leɓunana.
Set, O Lord, a watch unto my mouth: keep a guard at the door of my lips.
4 Kada ka bar zuciyata ta juya ga yin abin da yake mugu, ta sa kai ga aikata mugayen ayyuka tare da mutane masu aikata mugunta; kada ka bari in ci abincinsu.
Permit not my heart to incline after any evil thing, to practise deeds in wickedness with men that are doers of wrong: and let me not eat of their dainties.
5 Bari mutum mai adalci yă buge ni, alheri ne; bar shi yă tsawata mini, mai ne a kaina. Kaina ba zai ƙi shi ba, duk da haka addu’ata kullum tana gāba da mugayen ayyuka.
If the righteous strike me, it is a kindness; and if he reprove me, it is [as] oil poured on the head, my head shall not refuse it; for yet my prayer also [is offered] in their sufferings.
6 Za a jefar da masu mulkinsu ƙasa daga ƙwanƙolin dutse, mugaye kuwa za su san cewa maganata daidai ne.
Are their judges fallen down through means of a rock: then will they listen to my words; for they are pleasant.
7 Za su ce, “Kamar yadda mutum kan yi huda yă tsage ƙasa, haka aka watsar da ƙasusuwanmu a bakin kabari.” (Sheol h7585)
As when one cutteth in and splitteth open the earth: so are our bones scattered for the mouth of the grave. (Sheol h7585)
8 Amma na kafa idanuna a kanka, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka; a cikinka ina neman mafaka, kada ka miƙa ni ga mutuwa.
For unto thee, O Eternal Lord, are my eyes directed; in thee do I trust: pour not out my life.
9 Ka kiyaye ni daga tarkon da aka sa mini, daga tarkon da mugaye suka sa.
Guard me from the power of the snare which they have laid for me, and the traps of the wrong-doers.
10 Bari mugaye su fāɗa a cikin ragarsu, amma bari ni in zo in wuce lafiya.
Let the wicked fall into their own nets, altogether—while I pass safely by.
