Sabuurradii 53

1 Nacaskaa qalbigiisa iska yidhi, Ilaah ma jiro. Iyagu waa qudhun, oo waxay faleen xumaan karaahiyo ah, Oo mid wanaag falaa ma jiro.

For the leader. On mahalath. A maskil of David. Fools say in their heart, ‘There is no God.’ Vile, hateful their life is; not one does good.

2 Ilaah wuxuu samada hoos uga soo fiiriyey binu-aadmiga, Bal inuu arko hadday kuwo wax garanaya oo Ilaah doondoonaa jiraan.

From heaven God looks out on humans, to see if any are wise, and care for God.

3 Midkood kastaaba dib buu u noqday, oo dhammaantood waxay wada noqdeen dad nijaas ah, Oo mid wanaag falaa ma jiro, midnaba.

But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one does good, no, not one.

4 Miyaanay aqoon lahayn xumaanfalayaasha dadkaygii u cuna siday kibista u cunaan, Oo aanay Ilaah baryin?

Have they learned their lesson, those workers of evil? Who ate up my people, eating, devouring, never calling to the Lord.

5 Iyagu halkaasay aad ugu cabsadeen meel aan cabsiyu jirin, Waayo, kii ku ag degay inuu kugu soo duulo Ilaah baa lafihiisii kala firdhiyey, Oo iyagaad ceebaysay, maxaa yeelay, Ilaah baa iyaga diiday.

Sore afraid will they be, where no fear was; when God scatters the bones of the godless people. They will be put to shame, when God rejects them.

6 Badbaadada reer binu Israa'iil bal may Siyoon ka timaado! Marka Ilaah dadkiisa maxaabiisnimada ka soo celiyo, Ayaa reer Yacquub rayrayn doonaa oo reer binu Israa'iilna farxi doonaa.

If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When God brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful!
