Sabuurradii 120

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

A song of ascents. In my distress I called out to Yahweh, and he answered me.

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

Rescue my life, Yahweh, from those who lie with their lips and deceive with their tongues.

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

How will he punish you, and what more will he do to you, you who have a lying tongue?

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

He will punish you with the arrows of a warrior sharpened over burning coals of the broom tree.

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

Woe is me because I temporarily live in Meshech; I lived previously among the tents of Kedar.

6 Naftaydu waxay wakhti dheer la degganayd Mid nabadda neceb.

For too long I have lived with those who hate 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.
