Sabuurradii 123

1 Kaaga samooyinka dhex fadhiyow, Adigaan indhahayga kor kuugu taagaa.

“A song of the degrees.” Unto thee do I lift up my eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens.

2 Bal eeg, sida ay indhaha addoommadu u fiiriyaan gacanta sayidkooda, Iyo sida ay gabadh indhaheedu u fiiriyaan gacanta sayidaddeeda Ayay indhahayagu u fiiriyaan Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah, Ilaa uu noo naxariisto.

Behold, as the eyes of servants are directed unto the hand of their masters, as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress: thus are our eyes directed unto the Lord our God, until he be gracious unto us.

3 Rabbiyow, noo naxariiso, annaga noo naxariiso, Waayo, waxaa aad nooga buuxda quudhsasho.

Be gracious unto us, O Lord! be gracious unto us; for we are overburdened with contempt.

4 Naftayadii waxaa aad uga batay Qosolka kuwa istareexsan Iyo quudhsashadii kuwa kibirsan.

Our soul is overburdened with the scorn of those who are at ease, with the contempt of the proud oppressors.
