Sabuurradii 129

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

A Song of the Ascents. Often they distressed me from my youth, Pray, let Israel say:

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

Often they distressed me from my youth, Yet they have not prevailed over me.

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

Over my back have ploughers ploughed, They have made long their furrows.

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

Jehovah [is] righteous, He hath cut asunder cords of the wicked.

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

Confounded and turn backward do all hating Zion.

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

They are as grass of the roofs, That before it was drawn out withereth,

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

That hath not filled the hand of a reaper, And the bosom of a binder of sheaves.

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

And the passers by have not said, 'The blessing of Jehovah [is] on you, We blessed you in the Name of Jehovah!'
