A maschil of Asaph. Hear my teaching, my people, listen to the words of my mouth.
2 Zan buɗe bakina da misalai, zan faɗi ɓoyayyun abubuwa, abubuwan dā,
I will open my mouth in parables; I will sing about hidden things about the past.
3 abin da muka ji muka kuma sani, abubuwan da kakanninmu suka faɗa mana.
These are things that we have heard and learned, things that our ancestors have told us.

We will not keep them from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the praiseworthy deeds of Yahweh, his strength, and the wonders that he has done.
5 Ya kafa ƙa’idodi wa Yaƙub ya kuma kafa doka a cikin Isra’ila, wadda ya umarce kakanni-kakanninmu su koya wa’ya’yansu,
For he established covenant decrees in Jacob and appointed a law in Israel. He commanded our ancestors that they were to teach them to their children.
6 don tsara na biye su san su, har da’ya’yan da ba a riga an haifa ba, su kuma su faɗa wa’ya’yansu.
He commanded this so that the generation to come might know his decrees, the children not yet born, who should tell them in turn to their own children.
7 Ta haka za su dogara ga Allah ba kuwa za su manta da ayyukansa ba amma za su kiyaye umarnansa.
Then they would place their hope in God and not forget his deeds but keep his commandments.
8 Ba za su zama kamar kakanni kakanninsu ba, masu taurinkai da kuma tsara masu tayarwa, waɗanda zukatansu ba su yi biyayya ga Allah ba, waɗanda zukatansu ba su yi aminci ga Allah ba.
Then they would not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation whose hearts were not right, and whose spirits were not committed and faithful to God.

He divided the sea and led them across it; he made the waters to stand like walls.
14 Ya bishe su da girgije da rana da kuma haske daga wuta dukan dare.
In the daytime he led them with a cloud and all the night with the light of fire.
15 Ya tsage duwatsu a cikin hamada ya kuma ba su ruwaye a yalwace kamar tekuna;
He split the rocks in the wilderness, and he gave them water abundantly, enough to fill the depths of the sea.
16 ya fid da rafuffuka daga dutsen da ya tsaga ya sa ruwa ya gudu kamar koguna.
He made streams flow out of the rock and made the water flow like rivers.

Yet they continued to sin against him, rebelling against the Most High in the wilderness.

20 Sa’ad da ya bugi dutse, ruwa ya ɓulɓulo, rafuffuka suka yi gudu a yalwace. Amma zai iya ba mu abinci? Zai iya tanada wa mutanensa nama?”
See, when he struck the rock, waters gushed out and streams overflowed. But can he give bread also? Will he provide meat for his people?”

When Yahweh heard this, he was angry; so his fire burned against Jacob, and his anger attacked Israel,

30 Amma kafin su juyo daga abincin da suka yi kwaɗayi, kai tun ma yana a bakunansu,
But they had not yet filled up; their food was still in their mouths.
31 fushin Allah ya ƙuna a kansu; ya karkashe waɗanda suka fi ƙiba a cikinsu, yana yankan matasan Isra’ila.
