Zabura 40
1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Ta Dawuda. Zabura ce. Na jira da haƙuri ga Ubangiji; ya juya wurina ya kuma ji kukata.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. I have waited expectantly for the Lord, and he was attentive to me.
2 Ya ɗaga ni daga rami marar fāɗi, daga laka da taɓo; ya sa ƙafafuna a kan dutse ya kuma ba ni tsayayyen wuri don in tsaya.
And he heard my prayers and he led me out of the pit of misery and the quagmire. And he stationed my feet upon a rock, and he directed my steps.
3 Ya sa sabuwar waƙa a bakina, waƙar yabo ga Allahna. Da yawa za su gani su tsorata su kuma dogara ga Ubangiji.
And he sent a new canticle into my mouth, a song to our God. Many will see, and they will fear; and they will hope in the Lord.
4 Mai albarka ne mutumin da ya mai da Ubangiji abin dogararsa, wanda ba ya kula da masu girman kai, waɗanda suka juya ga allolin ƙarya.
Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord, and who has no respect for vanities and absurd falsehoods.
5 Da yawa ne, ya Ubangiji Allahna, abubuwan banmamakin da ka aikata. Abubuwan da ka shirya mana. Ba wanda zai iya faɗa maka su; a ce zan yi magana in faɗe su, za su wuce gaban misali a furta.
You have accomplished your many wonders, O Lord my God, and there is no one similar to you in your thoughts. I have announced and I have spoken: they are multiplied beyond number.
6 Hadaya da sadaka ba ka sha’awa, amma kunnuwana ka huda; hadayun ƙonawa da hadayun zunubi ba ka bukata.
Sacrifice and oblation, you did not want. But you have perfected ears for me. Holocaust and sin offering, you did not require.
7 Sa’an nan na ce, “Ga ni, na zo, kamar yadda yake a rubuce game da ni cikin littafi.
Then I said, “Behold, I draw near.” At the head of the book, it has been written of me:
8 Ina sha’awar aikata nufinka, ya Allahna; dokar tana cikin zuciyata.”
that I should do your will. My God, I have willed it. And your law is in the midst of my heart.
9 Na yi shelar adalcinka cikin babban taro; ba na rufe leɓunana, kamar yadda ka sani, ya Ubangiji.
I have announced your justice in a great Church: behold, I will not restrain my lips. O Lord, you have known it.
10 Ba na ɓoye adalcinka cikin zuciyata; ina maganar amincinka da cetonka. Ban ɓoye ƙaunarka da gaskiyarka a gaban taron jama’arka mai girma ba.
I have not concealed your justice within my heart. I have spoken your truth and your salvation. I have not concealed your mercy and your truth from a great assembly.
11 Kada ka hana mini jinƙanka, ya Ubangiji; bari ƙaunarka da gaskiyarka kullum su kāre ni.
O Lord, do not take your tender mercies far from me. Your mercy and your truth ever sustain me.
12 Gama damuwoyin da suka wuce misali sun kewaye ni; zunubaina sun mamaye ni, kuma ba na iya gani. Sun fi gashin kaina yawa, har ma na fid da zuciya.
For evils without number have surrounded me. My iniquities have taken hold of me, and I was not able to see. They have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head. And my heart has forsaken me.
13 Ka ji daɗin cetona, ya Ubangiji; Ya Ubangiji, ka zo da sauri ka taimake ni.
Be pleased, O Lord, to rescue me. Look down, O Lord, to help me.
14 Bari masu neman raina su sha kunya su kuma rikice; bari dukan waɗanda suke neman lalacewata su koma baya da kunya.
Let them together be confounded and awed, who seek after my soul to steal it away. Let them be turned back and be in awe, who wish evils upon me.
15 Bari masu ce mini, “Allah yă ƙara!” Su sha mamaki saboda kunyar da za su sha.
Let them bear their confusion all at once, who say to me, “Well, well.”
16 Amma bari dukan masu nemanka su yi farin ciki su kuma yi murna a cikinka; bari waɗanda suke ƙaunar cetonka kullum su ce, “Ubangiji mai girma ne!”
Let all who seek you exult and rejoice over you. And let those who love your salvation always say, “May the Lord be magnified.”
17 Ni dai matalauci ne da mai bukata; bari Ubangiji yă tuna da ni. Kai ne taimakona da mai cetona; Ya Allahna, kada ka jinkirta.
But I am a beggar and poor. The Lord has been concerned about me. You are my helper and my protector. My God, do not delay.
