< Zabura 18 >
1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Ta Dawuda bawan Ubangiji. Ya rera ta ga Ubangiji kalmomin wannan waƙa sa’ad da Ubangiji ya cece shi daga hannun dukan abokan gābansa da kuma daga hannun Shawulu, ya ce, Ina ƙaunarka, ya Ubangiji, ƙarfina.
For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD, who spoke unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul; And he said: I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
2 Ubangiji shi ne dutsena, kagarata da kuma mai cetona; Allahna shi ne dutsena, a gare shi nake neman mafaka. Shi ne garkuwata da ƙahon cetona, mafakata.
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in Him I take refuge; my shield, and my horn of salvation, my high tower.
3 Na kira ga Ubangiji, wanda ya cancanci yabo, na kuwa kuɓuta daga abokan gābana.
Praised, I cry, is the LORD, and I am saved from mine enemies.
4 Igiyoyin mutuwa sun shaƙe ni; rigyawan hallaka sun sha kaina.
The cords of Death compassed me, and the floods of Belial assailed me.
5 Igiyoyin mutuwa sun nannaɗe kewaye da ni; tarkon mutuwa ya yi mini arangama. (Sheol )
The cords of Sheol surrounded me; the snares of Death confronted me. (Sheol )
6 Cikin wahalata na yi kira ga Ubangiji; Na yi kuka ga Allahna don taimako. A Haikalinsa ya ji muryata, Kukana na neman taimako ya kai kunnensa.
In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God; out of His temple He heard my voice, and my cry came before Him unto His ears.
7 Ƙasa ta yi rawa ta kuma girgiza, tussan duwatsu sun girgiza; sun yi rawa domin ya yi fushi.
Then the earth did shake and quake, the foundations also of the mountains did tremble; they were shaken, because He was wroth.
8 Hayaƙi ya tashi daga kafan hancinsa; wuta mai ci daga bakinsa, garwashi wuta mai ci daga bakinsa.
Smoke arose up in His nostrils, and fire out of His mouth did devour; coals flamed forth from Him.
9 Ya buɗe sammai ya sauko; baƙaƙen gizagizai suna a ƙarƙashin ƙafafunsa.
He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and thick darkness was under His feet.
10 Ya hau kerubobi ya kuma yi firiya; ya yi shawagi a fikafikan iska.
And He rode upon a cherub, and did fly; yea, He did swoop down upon the wings of the wind.
11 Ya mai da duhu abin rufuwarsa, rumfa kewaye da shi, baƙaƙen gizagizan ruwan sama na sarari,
He made darkness His hiding-place, His pavilion round about Him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 daga cikin hasken kasancewarsa gizagizai suka yi gaba, da ƙanƙara da kuma walƙiya.
At the brightness before Him, there passed through His thick clouds hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Ubangiji ya yi tsawa daga sama; muryar Mafi Ɗaukaka ya yi kāra.
The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High gave forth His voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Ya harba kibiyoyinsa ya kuma watsar da abokan gāba, walƙiya mai girma ya fafare su.
And He sent out His arrows, and scattered them; and He shot forth lightnings, and discomfited them.
15 Kwarin teku sun bayyana tussan duniya sun bayyana a fili sa’ad da ka tsawata, ya Ubangiji, sa’ad da ka numfasa daga hancinka.
And the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at Thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Thy nostrils.
16 Ya miƙa hannunsa daga sama ya kama ni; ya ja ni daga zurfin ruwaye.
He sent from on high, He took me; He drew me out of many waters.
17 Ya cece ni daga abokin gābana mai ƙarfi, daga abokan gābana, waɗanda suka fi ƙarfina.
He delivered me from mine enemy most strong, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
18 Sun yi arangama da ni a ranar masifa, amma Ubangiji ya zama mai taimakona.
They confronted me in the day of my calamity; but the LORD was a stay unto me.
19 Ya fitar da ni zuwa wuri mai sarari; ya kuɓutar da ni, gama yana jin daɗina.
He brought me forth also into a large place; He delivered me, because He delighted in me.
20 Ubangiji ya yi haka da ni bisa ga adalcina; bisa ga tsabtar hannuwana ya ba ni lada.
The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath He recompensed me.
21 Gama na kiyaye hanyoyin Ubangiji; ban yi mugunta ta wurin juyewa daga Allahna ba.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Dukan dokokinsa suna a gābana; ban juye daga ƙa’idodinsa ba.
For all His ordinances were before me, and I put not away His statutes from me.
23 Na kasance marar laifi a gabansa na kuma kiyaye kaina daga zunubi.
And I was single-hearted with Him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Ubangiji ya ba ni lada bisa ga adalcina, bisa ga tsabtan hannuwana a gabansa.
Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His eyes.
25 Ga mai aminci ka nuna kanka mai aminci, ga marar laifi ka nuna kanka marar laifi,
With the merciful Thou dost show Thyself merciful, with the upright man Thou dost show Thyself upright;
26 ga mai tsabta ka nuna kanka mai tsabta, amma ga karkatacce, ka nuna kanka mai wayo.
With the pure Thou dost show Thyself pure; and with the crooked Thou dost show Thyself subtle.
27 Kakan cece mai sauƙinkai amma kakan ƙasƙantar da masu girman kai.
For Thou dost save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes Thou dost humble.
28 Kai Ya Ubangiji, ka sa fitilata ta yi ta ci; Allahna ya mai da duhu ya zama haske.
For Thou dost light my lamp; the LORD my God doth lighten my darkness.
29 Da taimakonka zan iya fāɗa wa runduna; tare da Allahna zan iya rinjayi katanga.
For by Thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I scale a wall.
30 Game da Allah kuwa, hanyarsa cikakkiya ce; maganar Ubangiji marar kuskure ne. Shi garkuwa ne ga dukan waɗanda suke neman mafaka a gare shi.
As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried; He is a shield unto all them that take refuge in Him.
31 Gama wane ne Allah in ba Ubangiji ba? Wane ne kuwa Dutse in ba Allahnmu ba?
For who is God, save the LORD? And who is a Rock, except our God?
32 Allah ne ya ƙarfafa ni da ƙarfi ya kuma sa hanyarta ta zama cikakkiya.
The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way straight;
33 Ya sa ƙafafuna kamar ƙafafun barewa; ya sa na iya tsaya a kan ƙwanƙoli.
Who maketh my feet like hinds', and setteth me upon my high places;
34 Ya horar da hannuwana don yaƙi; hannuwana za su iya tanƙware bakan tagulla.
Who traineth my hands for war, so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
35 Ka ba ni garkuwar nasara, kuma hannunka na dama yana riƙe ni; ya sunkuya don ka mai da ni mai girma.
Thou hast also given me Thy shield of salvation, and Thy right hand hath holden me up; and Thy condescension hath made me great.
36 Ka fadada hanyar da yake a ƙarƙashina, don kada ɗiɗɗigena yă juya.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
37 Na bi abokan gābana na kuma cim musu; ban juya ba sai da na hallaka su.
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them; neither did I turn back till they were consumed.
38 Na ragargaza su har ba za su iya tashi ba; sun fāɗi a ƙarƙashin ƙafafuna.
I have smitten them through, so that they are not able to rise; they are fallen under my feet.
39 Ka ƙarfafa ni da ƙarfi saboda yaƙi; ka sa abokan gābana suka rusuna mini.
For Thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle; Thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Ka sa abokan gābana suka juya suka gudu, na kuma hallaka abokan gābana.
Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, and I did cut off them that hate me.
41 Sun nemi taimako, amma ba su sami wanda zai cece su ba, ga Ubangiji, amma bai amsa ba.
They cried, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but He answered them not.
42 Na murƙushe su kamar ƙura mai laushi da iska ke kwashewa; na zubar da su kamar laka a tituna.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind; I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43 Ka cece ni daga harin mutane; ka mai da ni kan al’ummai. Mutanen da ban sani ba sun zama bayina,
Thou hast delivered me from the contentions of the people; Thou hast made me the head of the nations; a people whom I have not known serve me.
44 da zarar sun ji ni, sukan yi mini biyayya; baƙi suna rusuna a gabana.
As soon as they hear of me, they obey me; the sons of the stranger dwindle away before me.
45 Duk sukan karai; suna zuwa da rawan jiki daga mafakansu.
The sons of the stranger fade away, and come trembling out of their close places.
46 Ubangiji mai rai ne! Yabo ya tabbata ga Dutsena! Girma ya tabbata ga Allah Mai cetona!
The LORD liveth, and blessed be my Rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation;
47 Shi ne Allah mai sāka mini, wanda yake sa al’ummai a ƙarƙashina,
Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
48 wanda yakan cece ni daga abokan gābana. Ana girmama ka bisa abokan gābana; daga masu tā-da-na-zaune-tsaye ka kuɓutar da ni.
He delivereth me from mine enemies; yea, Thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me; Thou deliverest me from the violent man.
49 Saboda haka zan yabe ka a cikin al’ummai, ya Ubangiji; zan rera yabai ga sunanka.
Therefore I will give thanks unto Thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto Thy name.
50 Yakan ba sarkinsa nasarori; yakan nuna alheri marar ƙarewa ga shafaffensa, ga Dawuda da zuriyarsa har abada.
Great salvation giveth He to His king; and showeth mercy to His anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
