Sabuurradii 56

1 Ilaahow, ii naxariiso, waayo dad baa waxay doonayaan inay i liqaan; Maalinta oo dhan isagoo diriraya ayuu i dulmaa.

For the Chief Musician. To the tune of “Silent Dove in Distant Lands.” A poem by David, when the Philistines seized him in Gath. Be merciful to me, God, for man wants to swallow me up. All day long, he attacks and oppresses me.

2 Cadaawayaashaydu maalinta oo dhan waxay doonayaan inay i liqaan, Waayo, kuwa kibirka igula diriraa waa tiro badan yihiin.

My enemies want to swallow me up all day long, for they are many who fight proudly against me.

3 Markaan cabsado, Waan isku kaa hallaynayaa.

When I am afraid, I will put my trust in you.

4 Ilaah caawimaaddiisa ayaan eraygiisa ku ammaani doonaa, Waayo, Ilaah baan isku halleeyey, oo innaba baqi maayo, Haddaba bal binu-aadmigu muxuu igu samayn karaa?

In God, I praise his word. In God, I put my trust. I will not be afraid. What can flesh do to me?

5 Maalinta oo dhan erayadayda way qalloociyaan, Fikirradooda oo dhammu waa igu col si ay shar iigu sameeyaan.

All day long they twist my words. All their thoughts are against me for evil.

6 Way isa soo wada urursadaan, oo way dhuuntaan, Oo waxay fiirsadaan tallaabooyinkayga, Markay gaadayaan naftayda.

They conspire and lurk, watching my steps. They are eager to take my life.

7 Iyagu ma xumaan bay ku baxsan doonaan? Ilaahow, dadyowga adoo cadhaysan hoos u tuur.

Shall they escape by iniquity? In anger cast down the peoples, God.

8 Waad og tahay warwareeggayga, Bal ilmadayda qaruuraddaada ku shub, Waayo, miyaanay buuggaaga ku qorrayn?

You count my wanderings. You put my tears into your container. Aren’t they in your book?

9 Markaasaa cadaawayaashaydu dib u noqon doonaan maalinta aan kuu yeedho, Waayo, waxaan ogahay in Ilaah ila jiro.

Then my enemies shall turn back in the day that I call. I know this: that God is for me.

10 Ilaah caawimaaddiisa ayaan eraygiisa ku ammaani doonaa, Oo Rabbigana caawimaaddiisa ayaan eraygiisa ku ammaani doonaa.

In God, I will praise his word. In Yahweh, I will praise his word.

11 Ilaah baan isku halleeyey, oo innaba baqi maayo, Haddaba bal dad muxuu igu samayn karaa?

I have put my trust in God. I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

12 Ilaahow, nidarradaada waan qabaa, Oo waxaan kuu bixinayaa qurbaanno mahadnaqid ah.

Your vows are on me, God. I will give thank offerings to you.

13 Waayo, naftaydaad ka samatabbixisay dhimasho, Sow cagahayga dhicitin kama aad samatabbixin? Inaan Ilaah hortiisa ku socdo Iftiinka kuwa nool.

For you have delivered my soul from death, and prevented my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
