Zabura 16
1 Miktam ne na Dawuda. Ka kiyaye ni, ya Allah, gama a cikinka nake samun mafaka.
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 Na ce wa Ubangiji, “Kai ne shugabana; in ba tare da kai ba, ba ni da wani abu mai kyau.”
I said to Jehovah, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
3 Game da tsarkakan da suke cikin ƙasar kuwa, su ne masu ɗaukakar da dukan farin cikina ya dangana.
As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 Baƙin ciki zai ƙaru wa waɗanda suke bin waɗansu alloli. Ba zan zuba musu hadayarsu ta jini ba ko in ambaci sunayensu da bakina.
Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Ubangiji, ka ba ni rabona da kwaf ɗin na; ka kiyaye rabona,
Jehovah is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Iyakoki sun fāɗo mini a wurare masu daɗi; tabbatacce ina da gādo mai bansha’awa.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
7 Zan yabi Ubangiji, wanda yake ba ni shawara; ko da dare ma zuciyata kan koya mini.
I will bless Jehovah, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Kullum nakan sa Ubangiji a gabana. Gama yana a hannun damana, ba zan jijjigu ba.
I have put Jehovah before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
9 Saboda haka zuciyata tana murna harshena kuma yana farin ciki; jikina kuma zai zauna lafiya,
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ka sanar da ni hanyar rai; za ka cika ni da farin ciki a gabanka, da madawwamin jin daɗi a hannun damarka.
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
