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 by David. Hear my prayer, Yahweh. Listen to my petitions. In your faithfulness and righteousness, relieve me.
2 Kada ka gabatar da bawanka a gaban shari’a, gama babu wani mai rai da yake adali a gabanka.
Don’t enter into judgment with your servant, for in your sight no man living is righteous.
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 pursues my soul. He has struck my life down to the ground. He has made me live in dark places, as those who have been long dead.
4 Ta haka ƙarfina ya ƙare a cikina zuciyata ta damu ƙwarai.
Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is desolate.
5 Na tuna da kwanakin baya na yi tunani a kan dukan ayyukanka na kuma lura da abin da hannuwanka suka yi.
I remember the days of old. I meditate on all your doings. I contemplate the work of your hands.
6 Na buɗe hannuwana gare ka; raina yana jin ƙishinka kamar busasshiyar ƙasa. (Sela)
I spread out my hands to you. My soul thirsts for you, like a parched 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.
Hurry to answer me, Yahweh. My spirit fails. Don’t hide your face from me, so that I don’t become like those who go down into 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 loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.
9 Ka cece ni daga abokan gābana, ya Ubangiji, gama na ɓoye kaina a gare ka.
Deliver me, Yahweh, from my enemies. I flee to you to hide me.
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 Spirit is good. Lead me in the land of uprightness.
11 Saboda sunanka, ya Ubangiji, ka kiyaye raina; a cikin adalcinka, ka fid da ni daga wahala.
Revive me, Yahweh, for your name’s sake. In your righteousness, bring my soul out of trouble.
12 A cikin ƙaunarka marar ƙarewa, ka rufe bakunan abokan gābana; ka hallaka dukan maƙiyana, gama ni bawanka ne.
In your loving kindness, cut off my enemies, and destroy all those who afflict my soul, for I am your servant.
