Sabuurradii 48
1 Rabbigu waa weyn yahay, waana in aad loogu ammaanaa Ilaaheenna magaaladiisa, iyo buurtiisa quduuska ah.
Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be greatly praised in the city where he [lives], [which is built on Zion], his sacred hill.
2 Waxaa dhererka ku quruxsan, oo farxad u ah dunida oo dhan Buur Siyoon oo dhanka woqooyi ah, Meeshaas oo ah magaalada Boqorka weyn.
That city, on a high [hill], is beautiful; it is the city where the true [God], the great king, [lives], and it causes people all over the world to rejoice [when they see it].
3 Ilaah wuxuu daaraheeda dhaadheer isku muujiyey inuu magangal yahay.
God is in the strong towers there, and he shows that he protects the people in that city.
4 Waayo, bal eeg, boqorradii way iswada urursadeen, Dhammaantood way wada dhaafeen.
Many kings gathered [with their armies] to attack [that city],
5 Oo kolkay arkeen ayay yaabeen, Oo argaggexeen, markaasay haddiiba carareen.
but when they saw it, they were amazed; they became terrified, and ran away.
6 Iyagii halkaasay ku gariireen, Wayna ku xanuunsadeen sida naag foolanaysa.
Because they were very afraid, they trembled like a woman who is about to give birth to a child;
7 Doonniyaha Tarshiish waxaad ku jejebisaa Dabaysha bari.
they shook [like] ships sailing from Tarshish are shaken by a strong wind.
8 Annagu sidaan maqalnay, ayaan ku dhex aragnay Magaalada Rabbiga ciidammada, taasoo ah magaalada Ilaaheenna, Ilaah ayaa weligeedba adkayn doona. (Selaah)
We had heard [that this city is glorious], and now we have seen that it is. It is the city in which Yahweh, the almighty one, [lives]. It is the city which God will preserve/protect forever.
9 Ilaahow, raxmaddaada ayaan ka fikirnay Markaan macbudkaaga ku jirnay.
God, [here] in your temple we think about how you faithfully love us.
10 Ilaahow, sida magacaagu yahay Ayaa ammaantaaduna ku tahay dhulka darafyadiisa oo dhan, Gacantaada midigna waxaa ka buuxda xaqnimo.
You [MTY] are famous and (are praised/people praise you) all over the earth, because you rule powerfully [MTY] and justly.
11 Buur Siyoon ha faraxdo, Oo gabdhaha reer Yahuudah ha ku reyreeyeen xukummadaada daraaddood.
The people who live near Zion Hill should be happy! The people in [all] the cities [MTY] in Judah should rejoice because you judge people fairly.
12 Siyoon hareeraheeda socda, oo ku soo wareega, Oo munaaradaheeda tiriya.
[You Israeli people should] walk around Zion [Hill] and count the towers there;
13 Bal aad ugu fiirsada qalcadaheeda, Oo ka fikira daaraheeda dhaadheer, Si aad ugu sheekaysaan farcanka soo socda.
notice the walls there and examine the forts in order that you can tell about them to your children.
14 Waayo, weligiis iyo weligiisba Ilaahan ayaa Ilaah inoo ah, Oo isagaa hoggaamiye inoo ahaan doona xataa tan iyo dhimashada.
[Say to them], “This is [the city that belongs to] our God, [the one who lives] forever; he will guide us all of our lives.”
