Sabuurradii 129

1 Tan iyo yaraantaydii marar badan bay i dhibeen, Reer binu Israa'iil hadda ha yidhaahdeen,

A Canticle in steps. They have often fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say:

2 Tan iyo yaraantaydii marar badan bay i dhibeen, Laakiinse igama ay adkaan.

they have often fought against me from my youth, yet they could not prevail over me.

3 Kuwa beerta jeexa ayaa dhabarkayga jeexay, Oo jeexjeexoodiina way dheereeyeen.

The sinners have made fabrications behind my back. They have prolonged their iniquity.

4 Rabbigu waa xaq, Oo isagu wuxuu kala gooyay xadhkihii kuwa sharka leh.

The just Lord will cut the necks of sinners.

5 Inta Siyoon neceb oo dhammu, Ha ceeboobeen oo dib ha u noqdeen.

Let all those who hate Zion be confounded and turned backwards.

6 Ha noqdeen sida cawska guryaha korkooda ka baxa Oo engega intaanu korin,

Let them be like grass on the rooftops, which withers before it can be pulled up:

7 Oo aan beergooyuhu gacantiisa ka buuxin, Kan xidhmooyinka xidhaana aanu laabtiisa ka buuxin.

with it, he who reaps does not fill his hand and he who gathers sheaves does not fill his bosom.

8 Oo kuwa ag maraana ma yidhaahdaan, Barakadii Rabbigu korkiinna ha ahaato. Waxaan idiinku ducaynaynaa magaca Rabbiga.

And those who were passing by have not said to them: “The blessing of the Lord be upon you. We have blessed you in the name of the Lord.”
