< 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 Melody of David. O Yahweh, I have cried unto thee, Make thou haste to me, Give ear unto my voice, when I cry to thee.
2 Bari a sa addu’ata a gabanka kamar turaren ƙonawa; bari ɗagawa hannuwana ta zama kamar hadayar yamma.
Let my prayer be set in order like incense before thee, —the lifting up of my hands, as the evening gift.
3 Ka sa mai tsaro a bakina, ya Ubangiji; ka yi tsaron ƙofar leɓunana.
Set thou, O Yahweh, a watch at my mouth, Keep thou guard over 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.
Let not my heart incline to a matter of wrong, that I should busy myself with practices in lawlessness, with men working iniquity, 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.
Let a righteous man smite me—a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head [which] let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.
6 Za a jefar da masu mulkinsu ƙasa daga ƙwanƙolin dutse, mugaye kuwa za su san cewa maganata daidai ne.
Their judges, have been hurled down by a crag, Now have men heard my sayings, for they have become sweet.
7 Za su ce, “Kamar yadda mutum kan yi huda yă tsage ƙasa, haka aka watsar da ƙasusuwanmu a bakin kabari.” (Sheol )
As when one plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades! (Sheol )
8 Amma na kafa idanuna a kanka, ya Ubangiji Mai Iko Duka; a cikinka ina neman mafaka, kada ka miƙa ni ga mutuwa.
Surely, unto thee, O Yahweh, My Lord, are mine eyes, In thee, have I sought refuge, Do not pour out my life.
9 Ka kiyaye ni daga tarkon da aka sa mini, daga tarkon da mugaye suka sa.
Keep me out of the clutches of the trap they have set for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.
10 Bari mugaye su fāɗa a cikin ragarsu, amma bari ni in zo in wuce lafiya.
They who are lawless, shall fall into the nooses thereof, while, I, at the same time, pass on.
