Sabuurradii 44
1 Ilaahow, dhegahayagaannu ku maqallay, oo waxaa noo sheegay awowayaashayo Shuqulkii aad samaysay wakhtigoodii oo ahaa waa hore.
For the leader. Of the Korahites. A maskil. O God, we have heard with our ears, all our ancestors have told us of the work that you wrought in their day, your wonders in days of old,
2 Quruumihii gacantaadaad ku eriday, oo meeshoodii awowayaashayo baad ku beertay, Dadyowgii waad dhibtay, oo dibaddaad ku kala firdhisay.
uprooting and crushing the nations, then planting and settling them. For it wasn’t their own sword that won them the land,
3 Waayo, iyagu dalka kuma hantiyin seeftooda, Oo cududdooduna ma ay badbaadin, Laakiinse midigtaada iyo cududdaada iyo nuurka wejigaaga ayaa badbaadshay iyaga, Maxaa yeelay, raalli baad ka ahayd.
it was not their own arm that brought them the victory. Yours was the hand and the arm, yours was the face that shone on them with favour.
4 Ilaahow, waxaad tahay boqorkayga, Haddaba reer Yacquub samatabbixin u amar.
It was you, my king and my God, that ordained the victories of Jacob.
5 Adiga daraaddaa ayaannu cadaawayaashayada hoos ugu riixaynaa, Oo magacaaga daraaddiis ayaan kula tumanaynaa kuwa nagu kaca.
Through you we can thrust back our foes, and by your name tread down our assailants:
6 Waayo, qaansadayda isku hallayn maayo, Oo seeftayduna i badbaadin mayso.
for not in my bow do I trust, nor can my sword win me the victory.
7 Laakiinse adigu cadaawayaashayadaad naga badbaadisay, Oo kuwa na necebna waad ceebaysay.
Our victory comes from you, and confusion to those who hate us.
8 Maalinta oo dhan waxaannu ku faannaa Ilaah, Oo annana weligayo waxaannu ku mahadnaqaynaa magacaaga. (Selaah)
In God we boast all the day long, and your name will we praise forever. (Selah)
9 Laakiinse haatan waad na xoortay, oo sharafdarrona waad nagu soo dejisay, Oo weliba ciidammadayadana ma aad hor kacdid.
Yet you have spurned and disgraced us, in not going forth with our armies,
10 Waxaa dib nooga celisaa cadowgayaga hortiisa, Oo kuwa na necebuna way na dhacaan.
and in making us flee from the foe, so that those who hated us plundered us.
11 Waxaad naga dhigtay sidii ido la qalayo, Oo waxaad nagu kala firdhisay quruumaha dhexdooda.
You have let us be eaten like sheep, you have scattered us over the world,
12 Dadkaaga qiimola'aan baad ku iibisaa, Oo maalkaagana kuma aad kordhin qiimahoodii.
sold your people for a pittance, and getting no gain from their price.
13 Deriskayaga waxaad nooga dhigtaa cay, Oo kuwa hareerahayaga ku wareegsanna waxaad nooga dhigtaa quudhsasho iyo qosol.
You have made us the butt of our neighbours, the derision and scorn of all round us.
14 Quruumaha dhexdooda waxaad nooga dhigtaa halqabsi, Dadyowga dhexdoodana waxaad nooga dhigtaa kuwa madaxa laga lulo.
O’er the world you have made us a byword, the nations at us shake their heads.
15 Maalinta oo dhan sharafdarradaydu way i hor taal, Oo waxaa iga muuqatay ceebtii wejigayga,
My disgrace is forever before me, my face is covered with shame,
16 Waayo, sababtu waxaa weeye codka kan i caaya oo i af xumeeya, Iyo cadowga iyo kan iga aarguta daraaddood.
at the words of blasphemer and scoffer, at the sight of the foe and the vengeful.
17 Waxyaalahaas oo dhammu way nagu dhaceen, laakiinse weli kuma aannu illoobin, Axdigaagana khiyaano kuma aannu samayn.
All this has come upon us, yet we have not forgotten you nor falsely dealt with your covenant.
18 Qalbigayagu dib uma noqon, Oo tallaabooyinkayaguna jidkaaga kama baydhin,
Our heart has not turned back, nor our steps declined from your way,
19 Adiguse waxaad si xun noogu jebisay meeshii dawacooyinka, Oo waxaad nagu qarisay hooskii dhimashada.
that you thus should have crushed us down, and covered us over with gloom, in the place where the jackals roam.
20 Haddii aannu illownay magicii Ilaahayaga, Ama aannu gacmahayaga u kala bixinnay ilaah qalaad,
Had we forgotten the name of our God, or stretched out our hands to a god that was strange,
21 Ilaah miyaanu waxaas baadhayn? Waayo, isagu waa wada og yahay qalbiga waxyaalihiisa qarsoon.
would God not have searched this out? For he knows the heart and its secrets.
22 Haah, oo adiga daraaddaa ayaa naloo laayaa maalinta oo dhan, Oo waxaannu noqonnaa sida ido la qalayo.
But in your cause it is we are killed all the day, and counted as sheep for the slaughter.
23 Toos, maxaad u huruddaa, Sayidow? Sara joogso, oo ha na xoorin weligaa.
Rouse yourself, why do you sleep Lord? Awake, cast us not off forever.
24 Bal maxaad wejiga nooga qarsanaysaa, Oo aad u illoobaysaa dhibaatada iyo dulmiga aan ku dhex jirno?
Why do you hide your face, forgetting our stress and our misery?
25 Waayo, naftayadu ciidday ku foororsatay, Oo calooshayaduna dhulkay ku dhegtaa.
For we have sunk down to the dust, our bodies cling to the ground.
26 Caawimaaddayada daraaddeed u sara joogso, Oo raxmaddaada daraaddeed noo furo.
Arise, come to our help: for your love’s sake, ransom us.
