Sabuurradii 120

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

A Song of the Ascents. Unto Jehovah in my distress I have called, And He answereth me.

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

O Jehovah, deliver my soul from a lying lip, From a deceitful tongue!

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

What doth He give to thee? And what doth He add to thee? O deceitful tongue!

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

Sharp arrows of a mighty one, with broom-coals.

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

Woe to me, for I have inhabited Mesech, I have dwelt with tents of Kedar.

6 Naftaydu waxay wakhti dheer la degganayd Mid nabadda neceb.

Too much hath my soul dwelt with him who is hating peace.

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

I [am] peace, and when I speak they [are] for war!
