Zabura 90
1 Addu’ar Musa Mutumin Allah. Ubangiji kai ne mazauninmu cikin dukan zamanai.
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, thou hast been our dwelling-place in all generations.
2 Kafin a haifi duwatsu ko a fid da ƙasa da duniya, daga madawwami zuwa madawwami kai Allah ne.
Before the mountains were brought forth, and thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from eternity to eternity thou art God.
3 Ka komar da mutane zuwa ƙura, kana cewa, “Ku koma ƙura, ya ku’ya’yan mutane.”
Thou makest [mortal] man to return to dust, and sayest, Return, children of men.
4 Gama shekaru dubu a gabanka kamar kwana ɗaya ne da ya wuce, ko sa’a guda na dare.
For a thousand years, in thy sight, are as yesterday when it is past, and [as] a watch in the night.
5 Ka share mutane cikin barcin mutuwa; suna kama da sabuwa ciyawar safiya,
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are [as] a sleep: in the morning they are like grass [that] groweth up:
6 ko da yake da safe takan yi sabuwar huda da yamma sai ta bushe ta kuma yanƙwane.
In the morning it flourisheth and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down and withereth.
7 An cinye mu ta wurin fushinka mun kuma razana ta wurin hasalarka.
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy fury are we troubled.
8 Ka ajiye laifinmu a gabanka, asirin zunubanmu a hasken kasancewarka.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.
9 Dukan kwanakinmu sun wuce ƙarƙashin fushinka; mun gama shekarunmu da nishi.
For all our days pass away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a [passing] thought.
10 Tsawon kwanakinmu shekaru saba’in ne, ko tamanin, in muna da ƙarfi; duk da haka tsawonsu wahaloli ne kawai da ɓacin rai, gama da sauri suke wucewa, ta mu kuma ta ƙare.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if, by reason of strength, they be fourscore years, yet their pride is labour and vanity, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Wa ya san ƙarfin fushinka? Gama hasalarka tana da girma kamar tsoron da ya dace da kai.
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? and thy wrath according to the fear of thee?
12 Ka koya mana yawan kwanakinmu daidai, don mu sami zuciyar hikima.
So teach [us] to number our days, that we may acquire a wise heart.
13 Ka ji mu, ya Ubangiji! Har yaushe zai ci gaba? Ka ji tausayin bayinka.
Return, Jehovah: how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 Ka ƙosar da mu da safe da ƙaunarka marar ƙarewa, don mu rera don yabo, mu kuma yi murna dukan kwanakinmu.
Satisfy us early with thy loving-kindness; that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
15 Faranta mana zuciya kamar yawan kwanakin da muka sha azaba, kamar yawan shekarun da muka ga wahala.
Make us glad according to the days [wherein] thou hast afflicted us, according to the years [wherein] we have seen evil.
16 Bari a nuna ayyukanka ga bayinka, darajarka ga’ya’yansu.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy majesty unto their sons.
17 Bari alherin shugabanmu Allah yă kasance a kanmu; ka albarkaci mana aikin hannuwanmu, I, ka albarkaci aikin hannuwanmu.
And let the beauty of Jehovah our God be upon us; and establish thou the work of our hands upon us: yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it.
