< Sabuurradii 4 >
1 Ilaaha xaqnimadaydow, markii aan ku baryo i maqal, Markii aan cidhiidhi ku jirayba meel baad ii bannaysay, Ii naxariiso oo baryadayda maqal.
God, answer me when I pray to you. You are the one who vindicates me; Rescue me from things that distress me. Act mercifully toward me, and listen to me while I pray.
2 Binu-aadmigow, ilaa goormaa sharaftaydu sharafjab u rogmanaysaa? Ilaa goormaad wax aan micne lahayn jeclaanaysaan? Oo ilaa goormaad been doondoonaysaan? (Selaah)
How long will you people cause me to be disgraced instead of honoring me [RHQ]? You [people] love to falsely accuse me.
3 Laakiinse ogaada in Rabbigu gooni ahaan isugu soocay kii cibaado leh, Rabbigu wuu maqli doonaa markii aan u yeedho isaga.
All those who are loyal to Yahweh, he has chosen them to belong to him. Yahweh listens to me when I pray to him.
4 Cadhooda oo ha dembaabina, Qalbigiinna la hadla markii aad sariirtiinna ku jiiftaan, oo aamusa. (Selaah)
When you people get angry, do not [allow your anger to control you and cause you to] sin. While you lie on your bed, silently examine what you are thinking.
5 Bixiya allabaryadii xaqnimada, Oo Rabbiga isku halleeya.
Also, offer to Yahweh the proper sacrifices, and continue trusting in him.
6 Waxaa jira kuwo badan oo yidhaahda, Bal yaa wanaag na tusaya? Rabbiyow, iftiinka wejigaaga nagu ifi.
Some people ask, “Who will allow good things to happen to us?” [But I say], “Yahweh, continue to act kindly toward us.
7 Waxaad qalbigayga gelisay farxad Ka sii badan tan ay helaan markii hadhuudhkooda iyo khamrigoodu ay kordhaan.
You have made me very happy; I am happier than people who have harvested a great amount of grain and grapes.
8 Nabad baan ku jiifsanayaa oo aan ku seexanayaa, Waayo, Rabbiyow, adigoo keliya ayaa ammaan igu bariiya.
I can lie down [at night] and sleep soundly because [I know that] you, Yahweh, will keep me safe.”
