Zabura 80
1 Don mai bi da kaɗe-kaɗe. Mai muryar “Lilin Alkawari.” Na Asaf. Zabura ce. Ka ji mu, ya Makiyayin Isra’ila, kai da ka bishe Yusuf kamar garke. Kai da kake zaune a kursiyi tsakanin kerubobi, ka haskaka
[Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
2 a gaban Efraim, Benyamin da Manasse. Ka tā da ƙarfinka; ka zo ka cece mu.
Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
3 Ka mai da mu, ya Allah; ka sa fuskarka ta haskaka a kanmu, za mu kuwa cetu.
God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
4 Ya Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki, har yaushe fushinka zai yi ta ƙuna a kan addu’o’in mutanenka?
Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
5 Ka ciyar da su da burodin hawaye; ka sa suka sha hawaye ta cikakken kwaf.
[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6 Ka mai da mu abin faɗa ga maƙwabtanmu, kuma abokan gābanmu suna mana ba’a.
You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
7 Ka mai da mu, ya Allah Maɗaukaki; ka sa fuskarka ta haskaka a kanmu za mu kuwa cetu.
God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
8 Ka fitar da inabi daga Masar; ka kori al’ummai ka kuma dasa shi.
[Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
9 Ka gyara wuri saboda shi, ya kuwa yi saiwa ya cike ƙasa.
[Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
10 Aka rufe duwatsu da inuwarsa, manya-manyan itatuwan al’ul da rassansa.
[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
11 Ya miƙe rassansa zuwa Teku tohonsa har zuwa Kogi.
[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
12 Me ya sa ka rurrushe bangayensa don duk masu wucewa su tsinke’ya’yan inabinsa?
So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
13 Aladu daga kurmi suna ɓarnatar da shi halittun gonaki kuma suna cinsa.
and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
14 Ka komo wurinmu, ya Allah Maɗaukaki! Ka duba daga sama ka gani! Ka lura da wannan inabi,
You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
15 saiwar da hannun damarka ya dasa, ɗan da ka renar wa kanka.
who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
16 An yanke inabinka, an ƙone shi da wuta; a tsawatawarka mutanenka sun hallaka.
Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
17 Bari hannunka yă zauna a kan mutumin da yake hannun damarka, ɗan mutum da ka renar wa kanka.
But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
18 Ta haka ba za mu juye mu bar ka ba; ka rayar da mu, za mu kuwa kira bisa sunanka.
When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
19 Ka mai da mu, ya Ubangiji Allah Maɗaukaki; ka sa fuskarka ta haskaka a kanmu, za mu kuwa cetu.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
