Sabuurradii 101

1 Waxaan ka gabyi doonaa naxariis iyo garsoorid, Rabbiyow, waxaan kuugu gabyi doonaa ammaan.

Of David, a psalm. If kindness and justice I sing, making melody to you, Lord.

2 Oo waxaan u dhawrsan doonaa si qumman oo caqliya, Bal goormaad ii iman doontaa? Waxaan gurigayga ku dhex socon doonaa qalbi qumman.

I would look to the way that is blameless, and make it my own. Within my own house I would walk with an innocent heart.

3 Indhahayga hortooda wax xun ma dhigi doono, Waan necbahay kuwa leexda shuqulkooda, Oo innaba iguma dhegi doono.

I would never direct my eyes to a thing that is base. The impulse to stray I abhor it shall not cling to me.

4 Qalbi qalloocanu wuu iga fogaan doonaa, Oo innaba wax shar ah ma aqoon doono.

Far from me be perverseness of heart, or kinship with evil.

5 Kii qarsoodi u xanta deriskiisa, kaas waan baabbi'in doonaa, Kii isla madax weyn oo qalbigiisu kibirsan yahayna uma dulqaadan doono.

Who slanders their neighbour in secret, I bring them to silence: haughty looks and proud hearts I will not abide.

6 Indhahaygu waxay la jiri doonaan kuwa aamiinka ah oo dalka deggan, si ay iila joogaan aawadeed, Kii si qumman u socda ayaa ii adeegi doona.

I will favour the true in the land, they shall live in my court. Those who walk in a way that is blameless will be my attendant.

7 Kii khiyaano ka shaqeeyaase gurigayga ma joogi doono, Kii been ku hadlaana hortayda kuma xoogaysan doono.

No one will live in my house who practises guile. No one that speaks a lie will abide in my presence.

8 Subax ilaa ka subax ayaan wada baabbi'in doonaa kuwa sharka leh oo dalka deggan oo dhan, Si aan magaalada Rabbiga uga baabbi'iyo kuwa xumaanta ka shaqeeya oo dhan.

Morn by morn I will wholly wipe out all the bad in the land, and cut off from the Lord’s own city all workers of evil.
