Sabuurradii 124

1 Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin Hadda reer binu Israa'iil ha yidhaahdeen,

A Song of degrees. Of David. If it had not been Jehovah who was for us — oh let Israel say —

2 Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,

If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,

3 Kolkaasay innagoo noolnool ina wada liqliqi lahaayeen, Markay aad inoogu cadhoodeen,

Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;

4 Kolkaasay biyuhu ina qarqin lahaayeen, Durdurna nafteennuu dul mari lahaa,

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;

5 Oo kolkaasay biyaha kibirsanu nafteenna dul mari lahaayeen.

Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga Aan inaga dhigin ugaadh ilkahoodu ay qabsadaan.

Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!

7 Nafteennu waxay u baxsatay sida shimbir uga baxsato dabinka shimbirrodabtaha, Dabinkii wuu go'ay, innaguna waynu baxsannay.

Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.

Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
