Sabuurradii 120

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

[A Song of Ascents.] In my distress, I cried to Jehovah. He answered me.

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

Deliver my soul, Jehovah, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

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

What will be given to you, and what will be done more to you, you deceitful tongue?

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

Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.

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

Woe is me, that I live in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar.

6 Naftaydu waxay wakhti dheer la degganayd Mid nabadda neceb.

My soul has had her dwelling too long with him who hates peace.

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

I am for peace, but when I speak, they are for war.
