Sabuurradii 115
1 Rabbiyow, yaanay noo ahaan, yaanay noo ahaan, Laakiinse magacaaga ammaani ha u ahaato, Naxariistaada iyo runtaada daraaddood.
Yahweh, people should praise [only] you [MTY]; they must praise you, not us, because you faithfully love us and always do what you have promised to do.
2 Bal maxay quruumuhu u odhanayaan, Haddaba Ilaahoodu meeh?
It is not right that [RHQ] [other] people-groups should say about us, “[They claim that] their God [is very powerful], but [if that is true], why does he not [help them]?”
3 Laakiinse Ilaahayagu samooyinkuu ku jiraa, Oo wax alla wixii uu doonayayna wuu sameeyey.
Our God is in heaven, and he does whatever he wants to!
4 Sanamyadoodu waa lacag iyo dahab, Oo waa wax dad gacmaha ku sameeyey.
[But] their idols are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
5 Waxay leeyihiin af, laakiinse ma hadlaan, Indhona way leeyihiin, laakiinse waxba ma arkaan,
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
6 Dhegona way leeyihiin, laakiinse waxba ma maqlaan, Sanna way leeyihiin, laakiinse waxba ma urshaan,
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything]; they have noses, but they cannot smell [anything].
7 Gacmo way leeyihiin, laakiinse waxba ma qabtaan, Cagona way leeyihiin, laakiinse ma socdaan, Oo hungurigoodana hadal kama soo saaraan.
They have hands, but they cannot feel [anything]; they have feet, but they cannot walk, and they have throats but cannot [even] make any sounds!
8 Kuwa iyaga sameeyaana sidooda oo kale ayay noqon doonaan, Iyo xataa mid kasta oo iyaga isku halleeyaba.
The people who make those idols are [as powerless] as those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish nothing], just like their idols!
9 Reer binu Israa'iilow, Rabbiga isku halleeya, Isagu waa caawimaaddooda iyo gaashaankooda.
You, [my fellow] Israeli people, trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
10 Reer Haaruunow, Rabbiga isku halleeya, Isagu waa caawimaaddooda iyo gaashaankooda.
You priests [MTY], trust in Yahweh! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
11 Kuwiinna Rabbiga ka cabsadow, Rabbiga isku halleeya, Isagu waa caawimaaddooda iyo gaashaankooda.
[All] you who revere Yahweh, trust in him! He is the one who helps you and [protects you like] [MET] a shield.
12 Rabbigu aad buu inoo xusuusnaa, wuu ina barakayn doonaa, Reerka Israa'iilna wuu barakayn doonaa, Reerka Haaruunna wuu barakayn doonaa.
Yahweh has not forgotten us; he will bless us Israeli people [MTY]! He will bless the priests,
13 Wuxuuna barakayn doonaa kuwa Rabbiga ka cabsada, Yar iyo weynba.
and he will bless [all] those who revere him; he will bless important [people] and people [who are considered to be] unimportant, [everyone!]
14 Rabbigu aad iyo aad ha idiin kordhiyo, Idinka iyo carruurtiinnaba.
I desire that Yahweh will give many children to you [my fellow-Israeli people], and to your descendants.
15 Rabbiga sameeyey samada iyo dhulka Ayaa idin barakeeyey.
I desire that Yahweh, the one who made heaven and the earth, will bless [all of] you!
16 Samooyinku waa samooyinkii Rabbiga, Laakiinse dhulka wuxuu siiyey binu-aadmiga.
The [highest] heavens belong to Yahweh, but he gave [everything that is on] the earth to [us] people.
17 Kuwii dhintay Rabbiga ma ay ammaanaan, Kuwa hoos ugu dhaadhaca meesha aamusnaantana ma ay ammaanaan isaga,
Dead [people] are not [able to] praise Yahweh; when they descend into the place where dead people are, they are unable to speak and cannot praise him.
18 Laakiinse annagu Rabbiga waannu ammaani doonnaa Haatan intii ka bilaabata iyo tan iyo weligeedba. Rabbiga ammaana.
But we [who are alive] will thank/praise him, now and forever. Praise Yahweh!
