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.
God, we ourselves have heard what our parents and grandparents told us. They told us about the miracles that you performed long ago.
2 Da hannunka ka kori al’ummai ka kuma dasa kakanninmu; ka ragargaza mutanen ka kuma sa kakanninmu suka haɓaka.
[They told us] how you expelled the ungodly people and enabled us to live in their land. [They told us] that you punished those ungodly people and enabled your own people to prosper [IDM].
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.
It was not by using their own swords that they conquered the people that lived in that land, and it was not by their own power that they were victorious; it was only by your power [MTY, DOU] [that they did those things]; and they were sure that you were with them, and that showed that you were pleased with them.
4 Kai ne Sarkina da kuma Allahna, wanda ya ba da nasarori wa Yaƙub.
You are my King and my God; it is you who enable us, your people [MTY], to defeat our enemies.
5 Ta wurinka mun tura abokan gābanmu baya; ta wurin sunanka muka tattake maƙiyanmu.
It is by your power that we knock our enemies down and tramp on them.
6 Ba na dogara ga bakana, takobina ba ya kawo nasara;
I do not trust that I will be saved by using my bow [and arrows] and my sword.
7 amma kana ba mu nasara a kan abokan gābanmu, ka sa abokan gābanmu suka sha kunya.
No, it is you who have rescued us from our enemies, it is you who have caused those who hate us to become ashamed [because they were defeated].
8 A cikin Allah muke fariyarmu dukan yini, kuma za mu yabi sunanka har abada. (Sela)
We have continually boasted about what God [has done for us], and we will thank him [MTY] forever.
9 Amma yanzu ka ƙi mu ka kuma ƙasƙantar da mu; ba ka ƙara fita tare da mayaƙanmu.
But [now] you have rejected us and caused us to be disgraced; when our armies march out [to fight a battle], you no [longer] go with them.
10 Ka sa muka gudu a gaban abokin gāba, kuma abokan gābanmu suka washe mu.
You have caused us to run away from our enemies, with the result that they captured the things that belonged to us.
11 Ka ba da mu a cinye kamar tumaki ka kuma watsar da mu a cikin al’ummai.
You have allowed us to become like [MET] sheep that were ready to be slaughtered; you scattered us [far away] among [other].
12 Ka sayar da mutanenka a kuɗin da bai taka ƙara ya karye ba babu wata riba daga sayar da su da ka yi.
[It is as though] [MET] you sold us, your people, [to our enemies] for a very small price, and you did not gain much profit from selling us!
13 Ka mai da mu abin dariya ga maƙwabtanmu, abin dariya da reni ga waɗanda suke kewaye da mu.
People who live in nations near us make fun of us; they laugh at us and deride/belittle us.
14 Ka sa muka zama abin ba’a a cikin al’ummai; mutanen suna kaɗa mana kai.
They make jokes using the name of [our country], they shake their heads [to indicate that they despise us].
15 Dukan yini ina cikin wulaƙanci, fuskata kuma ta rufu da kunya
All day I feel disgraced; from seeing my face, people know that I am ashamed.
16 saboda ba’ar waɗanda suke zagi suke kuma ƙina, saboda abokan gābana, waɗanda suka sha alwashi sai sun yi ramuwa.
I hear what those who sneer at me and revile me say; I am ashamed in front of my enemies and those who want to harm me.
17 Dukan wannan ya faru da mu, ko da yake ba mu manta da kai ba ko mu kasance masu ƙarya ga alkawarinka.
All these things have happened to us [even] though we have not forgotten you, and we are not the ones who disobeyed the agreement you made with [our ancestors].
18 Zukatanmu ba su juya baya; ƙafafunmu ba su kauce daga hanyarka ba.
We have not stopped being loyal to you, and we have not stopped doing what you want us to do [IDM].
19 Amma ka ragargaza mu ka kuma maishe mu abin farautar karnukan jeji ka kuma rufe mu cikin duhu baƙi ƙirin.
But [it is as though] you have allowed us to be helpless among wild animals, and abandoned us in a deep dark [ravine].
20 Da a ce mun manta da sunan Allahnmu ko mun miƙa hannuwanmu ga baƙin alloli,
If we had forgotten to worship [MTY] our God, or if we had spread out our hands to [worship] a foreign god,
21 da Allah bai gane ba, da yake ya san asiran zuciya?
you certainly would have known that, because you know [even] what we secretly think.
22 Duk da haka saboda kai mun fuskanci mutuwa dukan yini; aka ɗauke mu kamar tumakin da za a yanka.
But it is because we belong to you, [that our enemies] are constantly killing us. They act toward us as though we were only sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Ka farka, ya Ubangiji! Don me kake barci? Ta da kanka! Kada ka ƙi mu har abada.
[So], Yahweh, arise! Why are you asleep [RHQ]? Get up! Do not reject us forever!
24 Me ya sa ka ɓoye fuskarka ka manta da azabanmu da kuma danniyar da ake mana?
Why are you not looking at us? Why are you forgetting that we are suffering and being oppressed [by our enemies]?
25 An kai mu ƙasa zuwa ƙura; jikunanmu sun manne da ƙasa.
We are pushed down to the ground and we cannot get up.
26 Ka tashi ka taimake mu; ka cece mu saboda ƙaunarka marar ƙarewa.
Arise, and come and help us! Rescue us because you faithfully love us!
