< Zabura 48 >
1 Waƙa ce. Zabura ta’ya’yan Kora maza. Ubangiji mai girma ne, kuma mafificin yabo, a birnin Allahnmu, dutsensa mai tsarki.
For the music director. A psalm of the sons of Korah. The Lord is supreme! He deserves praise in the city of our God on his holy mountain.
2 Kyakkyawa ce cikin tsayinta, abin farin cikin dukan duniya. Kamar ƙwanƙoli mafi tsayi na Zafon ne Dutsen Sihiyona, birnin Babban Sarki.
Mount Zion is high and beautiful, bringing happiness to all the earth; on the northern side is the city of the great King.
3 Allah yana cikin fadodinta; ya nuna kansa mafaka ce gare ta.
God himself is in the city's fortresses; he is recognized as its defender.
4 Sa’ad da sarakuna suka haɗa rundunoni, sa’ad da suka yi gaba tare,
Look at what happened when foreign kings joined forces and came to attack the city.
5 sun gan ta suka kuwa yi mamaki; suka gudu don tsoro.
As soon as they saw it they were astonished and ran away terrified.
6 Rawar jiki ya kama su a can, zafi kamar na mace mai naƙuda.
They shook all over, and were in agonizing pain like a woman giving birth,
7 Ka hallaka su kamar jiragen ruwan Tarshish da iskar gabas ta wargaje.
just as the strong east wind wrecks the ships from Tarshish.
8 Yadda muka ji, haka muka gani a cikin birnin Ubangiji Maɗaukaki, a cikin birnin Allahnmu. Allah ya sa ta zauna lafiya har abada. (Sela)
Just as we had heard, but now we have seen the city of the Lord Almighty. This is the city of our God; he makes it secure forever. (Selah)
9 Cikin haikalinka, ya Allah, mun yi tunani a kan ƙaunarka marar ƙarewa.
God, we recall your trustworthy love as we worship in the Temple.
10 Kamar sunanka, ya Allah, yabonka ya kai iyakokin duniya; hannunka na dama ya cika da adalci.
As is fitting for your reputation, God, praises to you stretch all around the world. What you do is always right!
11 Dutsen Sihiyona ya yi farin ciki, ƙauyukan Yahuda suna murna saboda hukuntanka.
Let the people of Mount Zion be glad; let the people of Judah celebrate because your judgments are always fair!
12 Yi tafiya cikin Sihiyona, ku kewaye ta, ku ƙirga hasumiyoyinta,
Go and take a look at Zion. Count the towers as you walk around.
13 ku lura da katangarta da kyau, ku dubi fadodinta, don ku faɗe su ga tsara mai zuwa.
Inspect the fortifications. Examine the citadels, so you can describe everything to the next generation, telling them:
14 Gama wannan Allah shi ne Allahnmu har abada abadin; zai zama jagorarmu har zuwa ƙarshe.
“This is who our God is. He is our God forever and ever. He himself will lead us until the very end.”
