Sabuurradii 57
1 Ii naxariiso, Ilaahow, ii naxariiso, Waayo, naftaydu adigay ku magan gashaa, Haah, waxaan magangeli doonaa hooska baalashaada, Ilaa ay belaayooyinkanu gudbayaan.
God, be merciful to me! Act mercifully toward me because I come to you to protect me. I ask you to protect me [like little birds are protected under their mother’s] wings [MET] until the storm/danger is ended.
2 Waxaan u qayshanayaa Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, Oo ah Ilaaha wax kasta ii sameeya.
God, you who are greater than all other gods, I cry out to you, the one who enables me to do all that you desire.
3 Isagu samaduu caawimaad ka soo diri doonaa, wuuna i badbaadin doonaa, Markuu kan i liqi lahaa i caayo, (Selaah) Ilaah wuxuu soo diri doonaa naxariistiisa iyo runtiisa.
You will answer me from heaven and rescue me, but you will cause those who oppress me to be [defeated and] disgraced! (Think about that!) God will [always] faithfully love me and (will be faithful/will do what he promises).
4 Naftaydu waxay ku dhex jirtaa libaaxyo, Oo anigu waxaan dhex jiifaa kuwo dab lagu shiday, Kuwaasoo ah binu-aadmiga oo ilkahoodu yihiin warmo iyo fallaadho, Oo carrabkooduna yahay seef af badan.
[Sometimes] I am surrounded by [my enemies who are like] lions that [kill] humans; [they are like] lions that chew with their teeth [animals that they kill]; but my enemies have spears and arrows, not teeth; and [the false things that] they say [MTY] [hurt people as much as] sharp swords [hurt people] [MET].
5 Ilaahow, samooyinka ka sara mar, Oo ammaantaaduna dhulka oo dhan ha ka sarrayso.
God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory to people all over the earth!
6 Dabin bay cagahayga u diyaariyeen, Oo naftaydii baa foororsatay, Oo waxay hortayda ka qodeen god, Oo iyaga qudhoodii baa ku dhex dhacay. (Selaah)
[It is as if] [MET, HYP] my enemies spread a net to seize me, and I became very distressed [IDM]. [It is as if] [MET, HYP] they dug a deep pit along the path where I walk, but they themselves fell into it!
7 Qalbigaa ii fadhiya, Ilaahow, qalbigaa ii fadhiya, Haddaba waan gabyi doonaa, haah, ammaan baan ku gabyi doonaa.
God, I have complete confidence [DOU] in you. I will sing to you, and I will praise you while I sing.
8 Naftaydoy, toos, shareerad iyo kataaradoy, toosa, Aniga qudhayduna waxaan toosi doonaa aroor hore.
I will awaken myself; I will arise before the sun rises and [praise you while I play] my harp or my (lyre/small harp).
9 Sayidow, dadyowga dhexdooda ayaan kaaga mahadnaqi doonaa, Oo quruumaha dhexdooda ayaan ammaan kuugu gabyi doonaa.
Lord, I will thank you among [all] the people; and I will sing to praise you among [many] ethnic groups,
10 Waayo, naxariistaadu waa weyn tahay oo waxay gaadhaa samooyinka, Oo runtaaduna waxay gaadhaa daruuraha.
because your faithful love for us is [as great as the distance from the earth] to the sky, and because your (faithfulness/faithfully doing what you promise) is [as great as the distance] up to the clouds [MET].
11 Ilaahow, samooyinka ka sara mar, Oo ammaantaaduna dhulka oo dhan ha ka sarrayso.
God, show in the heavens that you are very great! And show your glory [to people] all over the earth!
