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. Lord, please hear my prayer. Because you are faithful, please listen to my appeal for mercy. Answer me because you do what is right!
2 Kada ka gabatar da bawanka a gaban shari’a, gama babu wani mai rai da yake adali a gabanka.
Please don't place me, your servant, on trial, because nobody is innocent in your sight.
3 Abokin gāba yana fafarata, ya murƙushe ni har ƙasa; ya sa ina zama a cikin duhu kamar waɗanda suka mutu tun tuni.
The enemy has chased me down. He crushes me to the ground. He makes me live in darkness like those who died a long time ago.
4 Ta haka ƙarfina ya ƙare a cikina zuciyata ta damu ƙwarai.
I sense myself fading away inside; I am overwhelmed by a sense of desolation.
5 Na tuna da kwanakin baya na yi tunani a kan dukan ayyukanka na kuma lura da abin da hannuwanka suka yi.
I think of days long ago, and as I meditate I talk to myself about all you have done, I reflect on what you have accomplished.
6 Na buɗe hannuwana gare ka; raina yana jin ƙishinka kamar busasshiyar ƙasa. (Sela)
I stretch out my hands to you, thirsting for you like dried-out land. (Selah)
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.
Please answer me quickly, Lord! I'm dying! Don't turn away otherwise I'll be just like those who are going down into the grave.
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.
Tell me every morning about your trustworthy love, because I put my confidence in you. Show me the way I should go, because I dedicate myself to you.
9 Ka cece ni daga abokan gābana, ya Ubangiji, gama na ɓoye kaina a gare ka.
Save me from those who hate me, Lord—I run to you for protection.
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 your will for you are my God. May your spirit of goodness lead me and make my way smooth.
11 Saboda sunanka, ya Ubangiji, ka kiyaye raina; a cikin adalcinka, ka fid da ni daga wahala.
Because of the kind of person you are, let me go on living. Because you always do what's right, get me out of the trouble I'm in.
12 A cikin ƙaunarka marar ƙarewa, ka rufe bakunan abokan gābana; ka hallaka dukan maƙiyana, gama ni bawanka ne.
In your trustworthy love, get rid of those who hate me, destroy all my enemies, for I am your servant.
