Sabuurradii 120

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

A Song of Degrees. In mine affliction I cried to the Lord, and he listened to me.

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

Deliver my soul, O Lord, from unjust lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

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

What should be given to you, and what should be added to you, for [your] crafty tongue?

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

Sharpened weapons of the mighty, with coals of the desert.

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

Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged; I have tabernacled among the tents of Kedar.

6 Naftaydu waxay wakhti dheer la degganayd Mid nabadda neceb.

My soul has long been a sojourner;

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

I was peaceful among them that hated peace; when I spoke to them, they warred against me without a cause.
