Sabuurradii 129

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

A song of degrees. They haue often times afflicted me from my youth (may Israel nowe say)

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

They haue often times afflicted me from my youth: but they could not preuaile against me.

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

The plowers plowed vpon my backe, and made long furrowes.

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

But the righteous Lord hath cut the cordes of the wicked.

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

They that hate Zion, shalbe all ashamed and turned backward.

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

They shalbe as the grasse on the house tops, which withereth afore it commeth forth.

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

Whereof the mower filleth not his hand, neither the glainer his lap:

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

Neither they, which go by, say, The blessing of the Lord be vpon you, or, We blesse you in the Name of the Lord.
