Zabura 17
1 Addu’a ce ta Dawuda. Ka ji, ya Ubangiji, roƙona na adalci; ka saurari kukata. Ka kasa kunne ga addu’ata, ba ta fitowa daga leɓuna masu ƙarya.
Hear the right, O Yhwh, attend unto my cry, give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Bari fiffitawata tă zo daga gare ka; bari idanunka su ga abin da yake daidai.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes behold the things that are equal.
3 Ko ka duba zuciyata, ka kuma bincike ni da dare, ko ka gwada ni, ba za ka sami kome ba; na yanke shawara cewa bakina ba zai yi zunubi ba.
Thou hast proved mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and shalt find nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Game da ayyukan mutane kuwa, ta wurin maganar leɓunanka na kiyaye kaina daga hanyoyin tashin hankali.
Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.
5 Sawuna sun kama hanyoyinka ƙafafu kuwa ba za su yi santsi ba.
Hold up my goings in thy paths, that my footsteps slip not.
6 Na kira gare ka, ya Allah, gama za ka amsa mini; ka kasa kunne ka kuma ji addu’ata.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt hear me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, and hear my speech.
7 Ka nuna mini girmar ƙaunarka mai banmamaki, kai da kake ceton waɗanda suke neman mafaka daga abokan gābansu da hannunka na dama.
Shew thy marvellous lovingkindness, O thou that savest by thy right hand them which put their trust in thee from those that rise up against them.
8 Ka kiyaye ni yadda ake kiyaye ido; ka ɓoye ni cikin inuwar fikafikanka
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 daga mugaye waɗanda suke kai mini hari, daga abokan gāba masu mutuwa waɗanda suka kewaye ni.
From the wicked that oppress me, from my deadly enemies, who compass me about.
10 Sun rufe zukatansu marar tausayi, da bakunansu suna magana da fariya.
They are inclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 Sun sa mini ido, yanzu sun kewaye ni, a shirye suke, su jefa ni a ƙasa.
They have now compassed us in our steps: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth;
12 Suna kama da zaki mai yunwan abinci, kamar babban zaki mai fako a maɓuya.
Like as a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Ka tashi, ya Ubangiji, ka yi arangama da su, ka durƙusar da su; ka cece ni daga mugaye ta wurin takobinka.
Arise, O Yhwh, disappoint him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked, which is thy sword:
14 Ya Ubangiji, da hannunka ka cece ni daga irin mutanen nan, daga mutanen duniyan nan waɗanda ladarsu yana a wannan rayuwa ne. Kakan cika yunwan waɗanda kake so;’ya’yansu suna da isashe suna kuma ajiyar wadata wa’ya’yansu.
From men which are thy hand, O Yhwh, from men of the world, which have their portion in this life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy hid treasure: they are full of children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 Amma ni, cikin adalci zan ga fuskarka; sa’ad da na farka, zan gamsu da ganin kamanninka.
As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
