Zabura 44
1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Ta’ya’yan Kora maza. Maskil ne. Mun ji da kunnuwanmu, ya Allah; kakanninmu sun faɗa mana abin da ka aikata a kwanakinsu, tun dā can.
To the Chief Musician. For the Sons of Korah. An Instructive Psalm. O God! with our own ears, have we heard, Our fathers, have recounted to us, —The work thou didst work, In their day, In the days of aforetime:
2 Da hannunka ka kori al’ummai ka kuma dasa kakanninmu; ka ragargaza mutanen ka kuma sa kakanninmu suka haɓaka.
Thou thyself, with thine own hand—Didst dispossess, nations, and didst plant them, Didst break peoples in pieces, and didst spread them out:
3 Ba da takobinsu ba ne suka ci ƙasar, ba kuwa ƙarfin hannunsu ne ya ba su nasara ba; hannun damanka ne, ƙarfin hannunka, da kuma hasken fuskarka, gama ka ƙaunace su.
For, not by their own sword, gat they possession of the land, Nor did, their own arm, win victory for them, —But thine own right hand, and thine own arm, and the light of thy face, Because thou hadst accepted them.
4 Kai ne Sarkina da kuma Allahna, wanda ya ba da nasarori wa Yaƙub.
Thou thyself, art my king, O God, Command thou the victories of Jacob.
5 Ta wurinka mun tura abokan gābanmu baya; ta wurin sunanka muka tattake maƙiyanmu.
By thee, will we thrust at, our adversaries, In thy Name, will we tread down our assailants;
6 Ba na dogara ga bakana, takobina ba ya kawo nasara;
For, not in my bow, will I trust, Nor shall, my sword, give me victory;
7 amma kana ba mu nasara a kan abokan gābanmu, ka sa abokan gābanmu suka sha kunya.
For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And, them who hated us, hast thou put to shame.
8 A cikin Allah muke fariyarmu dukan yini, kuma za mu yabi sunanka har abada. (Sela)
In God, have we boasted all the day, And, thy Name—unto times age-abiding, will we praise. (Selah)
9 Amma yanzu ka ƙi mu ka kuma ƙasƙantar da mu; ba ka ƙara fita tare da mayaƙanmu.
But nay thou hast rejected, and confounded us, And wilt not go forth with our hosts;
10 Ka sa muka gudu a gaban abokin gāba, kuma abokan gābanmu suka washe mu.
Thou sufferest us to turn back from the adversary, And, they who hate us, have plundered at will:
11 Ka ba da mu a cinye kamar tumaki ka kuma watsar da mu a cikin al’ummai.
Thou dost give us up like sheep to be devoured, And, amongst the nations, hast thou scattered us.
12 Ka sayar da mutanenka a kuɗin da bai taka ƙara ya karye ba babu wata riba daga sayar da su da ka yi.
Thou dost sell thy people for, no-value, And hast not made increase by their price.
13 Ka mai da mu abin dariya ga maƙwabtanmu, abin dariya da reni ga waɗanda suke kewaye da mu.
Thou dost make us, A reproach to our neighbours, A mockery and a derision to them who are round about us:
14 Ka sa muka zama abin ba’a a cikin al’ummai; mutanen suna kaɗa mana kai.
Thou dost make us, A by-word among the nations, —A shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 Dukan yini ina cikin wulaƙanci, fuskata kuma ta rufu da kunya
All the day, is my confusion before me, And, the shame of my face, hath covered me:
16 saboda ba’ar waɗanda suke zagi suke kuma ƙina, saboda abokan gābana, waɗanda suka sha alwashi sai sun yi ramuwa.
At the voice of him who reproacheth and revileth, At the face of the foe and avenger.
17 Dukan wannan ya faru da mu, ko da yake ba mu manta da kai ba ko mu kasance masu ƙarya ga alkawarinka.
All this, hath come upon us, Yet had we not forgotten thee, Neither had we dealt falsely with thy covenant;
18 Zukatanmu ba su juya baya; ƙafafunmu ba su kauce daga hanyarka ba.
Our heart had not drawn back, Nor had our goings swerved from thy path;
19 Amma ka ragargaza mu ka kuma maishe mu abin farautar karnukan jeji ka kuma rufe mu cikin duhu baƙi ƙirin.
That thou shouldst have crushed us down in the place of wild dogs, And covered us over with a deadly shadow.
20 Da a ce mun manta da sunan Allahnmu ko mun miƙa hannuwanmu ga baƙin alloli,
If we had forgotten the Name of our God, And had spread forth our hands unto the GOD of the foreigner,
21 da Allah bai gane ba, da yake ya san asiran zuciya?
Would not, God, have searched into this, Seeing that, he, knoweth the secrets of the heart?
22 Duk da haka saboda kai mun fuskanci mutuwa dukan yini; aka ɗauke mu kamar tumakin da za a yanka.
Surely, for thy sake, have we been slain all the day, We have been accounted as sheep for slaughter.
23 Ka farka, ya Ubangiji! Don me kake barci? Ta da kanka! Kada ka ƙi mu har abada.
Awake thou! wherefore shouldst thou sleep, O Lord? Bestir thee! do not reject us altogether!
24 Me ya sa ka ɓoye fuskarka ka manta da azabanmu da kuma danniyar da ake mana?
Wherefore shouldst thou hide, thy face? Shouldst forget our humiliation and our oppression?
25 An kai mu ƙasa zuwa ƙura; jikunanmu sun manne da ƙasa.
For our soul, sinketh down to the dust, Our body, cleaveth to the earth.
26 Ka tashi ka taimake mu; ka cece mu saboda ƙaunarka marar ƙarewa.
Arise to our help, And ransom us, because of thine own lovingkindness.
