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] the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

2 Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,

If [it had not been] the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

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

Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

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

Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream 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] the LORD, who hath not given us [as] 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 are escaped.

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

Our help [is] in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
