Sabuurradii 120

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

A song of degrees. I called vnto the Lord in my trouble, and hee heard me.

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

Deliuer my soule, O Lord, from lying lippes, and from a deceitfull tongue.

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

What doeth thy deceitfull tongue bring vnto thee? or what doeth it auaile thee?

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

It is as the sharpe arrowes of a mightie man, and as the coales of iuniper.

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

Woe is to me that I remaine in Meschech, and dwell in the tentes of Kedar.

6 Naftaydu waxay wakhti dheer la degganayd Mid nabadda neceb.

My soule hath too long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

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

I seeke peace, and when I speake thereof, they are bent to warre.
