Sabuurradii 129

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

A Song of Ascents. 'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up', let Israel now say;

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

'Much have they afflicted me from my youth up; but they have not prevailed against me.

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

The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows.

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

The LORD is righteous; He hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked.'

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

Let them be ashamed and turned backward, all they that hate Zion.

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

Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it springeth up;

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

Wherewith the reaper filleth not his hand, nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom.

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

Neither do they that go by say: 'The blessing of the LORD be upon you; we bless you in the name of the LORD.'
