Sabuurradii 60
1 Ilaahow, adigu waad na xoortay, oo waad na dudumisay, Oo waad nagu cadhootay, haddaba bal mar na soo celi.
[I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
2 Dhulkii waad gariirisay, oo waad kala dildillaacisay, Haddaba dildillaaciisa bogsii, waayo, wuu ruxmadaa.
[When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
3 Dadkaagii waxaad tustay waxyaalo adag, Oo waxaad na cabsiisay khamri lala dhacdhaco.
You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
4 Calan baad siisay kuwa kaa cabsada, In runta loo soo bandhigo aawadeed. (Selaah)
But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
5 Si ay kuwaad jeceshahay u samatabbaxaan, Gacantaada midig ku badbaadi oo ii jawaab.
Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
6 Ilaah wuxuu ku hadlay quduusnimadiisa oo yidhi, Anigu waan farxi doonaa, Shekem waan kala qaybin doonaa, oo waxaan qiyaasi doonaa dooxada Sukod.
[Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
7 Gilecaad anigaa iska leh, Manasehna anigaa iska leh, Oo weliba Efrayimna waa daafacaaddii madaxayga, Yahuudahna waa ushayda boqornimo.
The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
8 Moo'aab waa weelkaygii aan ku maydhan jiray, Edomna kabahaygaan ku dul tuuri doonaa, Falastiinay, qayli aawaday.
but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
9 Bal yaa i geeyn doona magaalada xoogga leh? Yaase xagga Edom ii kaxayn doona?
[Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
10 Ilaahow, sow nama aadan xoorin? Ilaahow, lama soo baxdid ciidammadayada.
So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
11 Cadowga naga caawi, Waayo, binu-aadmiga caawimaaddiisu waxtar ma leh.
[We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
12 Ilaah caawimaaddiisa ayaannu wax xoog leh ku samayn doonaa, Waayo, isagaa ah kan cadaawayaashayada ku tuman doona.
But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
