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.
Yahweh, listen to me while I plead with you to act justly toward me. Hear me while I call out to you to help me. Pay attention to what I say while I pray because I am speaking [MTY] honestly/truthfully.
2 Bari fiffitawata tă zo daga gare ka; bari idanunka su ga abin da yake daidai.
You are the one who is able to declare that I (am innocent/have not done anything that was wrong) because you see/know that I am telling 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.
You know what I think, [even] at night; you have examined what I say and do, and you know that I have determined to never tell any lies.
4 Game da ayyukan mutane kuwa, ta wurin maganar leɓunanka na kiyaye kaina daga hanyoyin tashin hankali.
I have not done like others do; I have always done what is right [IDM], and I have not acted cruelly toward others.
5 Sawuna sun kama hanyoyinka ƙafafu kuwa ba za su yi santsi ba.
I have always done what you told me to do [IDM], I have (never failed to do/always done) [LIT] those things.
6 Na kira gare ka, ya Allah, gama za ka amsa mini; ka kasa kunne ka kuma ji addu’ata.
O God, I pray to you because you answer me; please listen [MTY] to what I am saying.
7 Ka nuna mini girmar ƙaunarka mai banmamaki, kai da kake ceton waɗanda suke neman mafaka daga abokan gābansu da hannunka na dama.
Show me that you faithfully love me. By your great power [MTY] rescue those who (run to/trust in) you to protect them from their enemies.
8 Ka kiyaye ni yadda ake kiyaye ido; ka ɓoye ni cikin inuwar fikafikanka
Protect me as people carefully protect their own eyes; protect me like [birds] protect [their babies] under their wings [MET].
9 daga mugaye waɗanda suke kai mini hari, daga abokan gāba masu mutuwa waɗanda suka kewaye ni.
Do not allow wicked people to attack me; my enemies surround me, wanting to kill me.
10 Sun rufe zukatansu marar tausayi, da bakunansu suna magana da fariya.
They never pity [IDM] anyone, and they are always boasting.
11 Sun sa mini ido, yanzu sun kewaye ni, a shirye suke, su jefa ni a ƙasa.
They have hunted/searched for me and found me. They surround me, watching for an opportunity to throw me to the ground.
12 Suna kama da zaki mai yunwan abinci, kamar babban zaki mai fako a maɓuya.
They are like lions [SIM] that are ready to tear apart the animals that they capture; they are like young lions that are hiding, waiting to pounce [on their prey].
13 Ka tashi, ya Ubangiji, ka yi arangama da su, ka durƙusar da su; ka cece ni daga mugaye ta wurin takobinka.
Yahweh, come and (oppose/fight against) my enemies and defeat them! Use your sword to save me from those wicked people!
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.
Yahweh, by your power [MTY] rescue me from those people who are interested [only] in things here in this world. But you provide plenty of food for those whom you love dearly; their children also have many things that their grandchildren will inherit.
15 Amma ni, cikin adalci zan ga fuskarka; sa’ad da na farka, zan gamsu da ganin kamanninka.
Yahweh, because I act righteously, I will [some day] see you [SYN]. When I awake, I will see you face-to-face, and then I will be happy.
