Sabuurradii 120

1 Anigoo cidhiidhi ku jira ayaan Rabbiga u qayshaday, Oo isna wuu ii jawaabay.

A Song of the going up. In my trouble my cry went up to the Lord, and he gave me an answer.

2 Rabbiyow, naftayda ka samatabbixi bushimo been sheega, Iyo carrab khiyaano badan.

O Lord, be the saviour of my soul from false lips, and from the tongue of deceit.

3 Carrabka khiyaanada badanow, bal maxaa lagu siin doonaa? Oo maxaa kaloo laguu samayn doonaa?

What punishment will he give you? what more will he do to you, you false tongue?

4 Adoo ah sida ku xoog badan oo fallaadhihiisa afaysan, Kuwaas oo wata dhuxulo geed rotem la yidhaahdo.

Sharp arrows of the strong, and burning fire.

5 Anaa hoogay, waayo, Mesheg baan qariib ku noqday, Oo waxaan dhex degay teendhooyinkii Qedaar!

Sorrow is mine because I am strange in Meshech, and living in the tents of Kedar.

6 Naftaydu waxay wakhti dheer la degganayd Mid nabadda neceb.

My soul has long been living with the haters of peace.

7 Waxaan ahay mid nabad jecel, Laakiinse kolkii aan hadlo, iyagu waa kuwa dagaal jecel.

I am for peace: but when I say so, they are for war.
