Zabura 143
1 Zabura ta Dawuda. Ya Ubangiji, ka ji addu’ata, ka saurari kukata don neman jinƙai; cikin amincinka da adalcinka ka amsa mini.
A Psalm of David, when his son pursued him. O Lord, attend to my prayer: listen to my supplication in your truth; hear me in your righteousness.
2 Kada ka gabatar da bawanka a gaban shari’a, gama babu wani mai rai da yake adali a gabanka.
And enter not into judgement with your servant, for in your sight shall no [man] living be justified.
3 Abokin gāba yana fafarata, ya murƙushe ni har ƙasa; ya sa ina zama a cikin duhu kamar waɗanda suka mutu tun tuni.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.
4 Ta haka ƙarfina ya ƙare a cikina zuciyata ta damu ƙwarai.
Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me.
5 Na tuna da kwanakin baya na yi tunani a kan dukan ayyukanka na kuma lura da abin da hannuwanka suka yi.
I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all your doings: [yes], I meditated on the works of your hands.
6 Na buɗe hannuwana gare ka; raina yana jin ƙishinka kamar busasshiyar ƙasa. (Sela)
I spread forth my hands to you; my soul [thirsts] for you, as a dry land. (Pause)
7 Ka amsa mini da sauri, ya Ubangiji; ƙarfina ya ƙare. Kada ka ɓoye fuskarka daga gare ni in ba haka ba zan zama kamar waɗanda suka gangara zuwa rami.
Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away your face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit.
8 Bari safiya ta kawo mini maganar ƙaunarka marar ƙarewa, gama na sa zuciyata a gare ka. Ka nuna mini hanyar da zan bi, gama a gare ka na miƙa raina.
Cause me to hear your mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in you; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to you.
9 Ka cece ni daga abokan gābana, ya Ubangiji, gama na ɓoye kaina a gare ka.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to you for refuge.
10 Ka koya mini in yi nufinka, gama kai ne Allahna; bari nagarin Ruhunka yă bi da ni a ƙasar da ba gargaɗa.
Teach me to do your will; for you are my God; your good Spirit shall guide me in the straight [way].
11 Saboda sunanka, ya Ubangiji, ka kiyaye raina; a cikin adalcinka, ka fid da ni daga wahala.
You shall quicken me, O Lord, for your name's sake; in your righteousness you shall bring my soul out of affliction.
12 A cikin ƙaunarka marar ƙarewa, ka rufe bakunan abokan gābana; ka hallaka dukan maƙiyana, gama ni bawanka ne.
And in your mercy you will destroy mine enemies, and will destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am your servant.
