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.
A prayer of David. Listen, O Lord, to my innocence; attend to my piercing cry. Give heed to my prayer out of lips unfeigned.
2 Bari fiffitawata tă zo daga gare ka; bari idanunka su ga abin da yake daidai.
Let my vindication come from you, your eyes see the truth.
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.
When you test my heart when you visit at night, and assay me like silver – you can find no evil. I am determined that my mouth should not lie.
4 Game da ayyukan mutane kuwa, ta wurin maganar leɓunanka na kiyaye kaina daga hanyoyin tashin hankali.
I gave earnest heed to the words of your lips.
5 Sawuna sun kama hanyoyinka ƙafafu kuwa ba za su yi santsi ba.
My steps have held fast to the paths of your precepts and in your tracks have my feet never stumbled.
6 Na kira gare ka, ya Allah, gama za ka amsa mini; ka kasa kunne ka kuma ji addu’ata.
So I call you, O God, with assurance of answer; bend down your ear to me, hear what I say.
7 Ka nuna mini girmar ƙaunarka mai banmamaki, kai da kake ceton waɗanda suke neman mafaka daga abokan gābansu da hannunka na dama.
Show your marvellous love, you who save from enemies those who take refuge at your right hand.
8 Ka kiyaye ni yadda ake kiyaye ido; ka ɓoye ni cikin inuwar fikafikanka
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me in the shelter of your wings.
9 daga mugaye waɗanda suke kai mini hari, daga abokan gāba masu mutuwa waɗanda suka kewaye ni.
From wicked people who do me violence, from deadly foes who crowd around me.
10 Sun rufe zukatansu marar tausayi, da bakunansu suna magana da fariya.
They have closed their hearts to pity, the words of their mouths are haughty.
11 Sun sa mini ido, yanzu sun kewaye ni, a shirye suke, su jefa ni a ƙasa.
Now they dog us at every step, keenly watching, to hurl us to the ground,
12 Suna kama da zaki mai yunwan abinci, kamar babban zaki mai fako a maɓuya.
like a lion, longing to tear, like a young lion, lurking in secret.
13 Ka tashi, ya Ubangiji, ka yi arangama da su, ka durƙusar da su; ka cece ni daga mugaye ta wurin takobinka.
Arise, Lord, face them and fell them. By your sword set me free from the wicked,
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.
by your hand, O Lord, from those – whose portion of life is but of this world. But let your treasured ones have food in plenty may their children be full and their children satisfied.
15 Amma ni, cikin adalci zan ga fuskarka; sa’ad da na farka, zan gamsu da ganin kamanninka.
In my innocence I will see your face, awake I am filled with a vision of you.
