Sabuurradii 121

1 Buurahaan indhahayga ku taagi doonaa, Caawimaaddaydu xaggee bay ka iman doontaa?

A Song of Ascents. I will lift up mine eyes, unto the mountains, From whence cometh my help!

2 Caawimaaddaydu waxay ka timaadaa Rabbiga sameeyey samada iyo dhulka.

My help, is from Yahweh, who made heavens and earth.

3 Isagu uma oggolaan doono in cagtaada la dhaqaajiyo, Kan ku dhawraa ma gam'i doono.

May he not suffer thy foot, to slip, May thy keeper, not slumber!

4 Bal eeg, kan reer binu Israa'iil dhawraa Ma gam'i doono, mana seexan doono.

Lo! neither will slumber nor sleep, The keeper of Israel.

5 Kan ku dhawraa waa Rabbiga, Rabbigu waa hooskaaga midigtaada taagan.

Yahweh, is thy keeper, Yahweh, is thy shade, on thy right hand:

6 Qorraxdu maalinta waxba kuma yeeli doonto. Habeenkana dayaxu waxba kuma yeeli doono.

By day, the sun, shall not smite, nor, the moon, by night.

7 Rabbiga ayaa kaa dhawri doona shar kasta, Isagu wuxuu dhawri doonaa naftaada.

Yahweh, will keep thee from all harm, He will keep thy life.

8 Hadda intii ka bilaabata iyo tan iyo weligeedba Rabbigu wuxuu dhawri doonaa bixiddaada iyo soo geliddaadaba.

Yahweh, will keep thy going out and thy coming in, from henceforth, even unto times age-abiding.
