Sabuurradii 40

1 Anigu Rabbiga samir baan ku sugay, Oo isna wuu i soo jalleecay, qayladaydiina wuu maqlay,

For the leader. A psalm of David. For the Lord I waited and waited, till, inclining to me, he heard my cry.

2 Oo weliba wuxuu iga soo bixiyey yamays baabba' ah, iyo dhoobada dhiriqda ah, Oo wuxuu cagaha ii saaray dhagax weyn, oo socodkaygiina wuu xoogeeyey.

From the horrible pit he drew me, up out of the miry clay; he set my feet on a rock, and my steps he made firm.

3 Oo afkaygiina wuxuu geliyey gabay cusub, kaas oo ah ammaanta Ilaaheenna. Kuwo badan baa arki doona, wayna cabsan doonaan, Rabbigayna isku hallayn doonaan.

He put a new song in my mouth, of praise to our God. Many see it, and, filled with awe, put their trust in the Lord.

4 Waxaa barakaysan ninkii Rabbiga isku halleeya, Oo aan u jeedin kuwa kibirsan ama kuwa beenta ku leexda.

Happy the person who has put in the Lord their trust, not looking to false gods or turning to idols.

5 Rabbiyow, Ilaahayow, shuqullada yaabka badan oo aad samaysay way badan yihiin, Oo fikirradaada aad naga qabtidna way badan yihiin, Oo iyaga lama xisaabi karo, Haddii aan sheego oo ka hadlo, Iyagu way ka sii badan yihiin wax la tirin karo.

With us you have wrought in rich measure, O Lord our God, your marvels and purposes for us – none may compare with you – were I to declare or to tell them, past counting are they.

6 Allabari iyo qurbaan kuma aad faraxsanid, Oo anna dhegahaygii waad ii furtay, Qurbaan la gubo iyo qurbaanka dembiga midna ima aad weyddiisan.

In offerings bloody or bloodless you have no delight, but with open ears you have made me. Burnt-offering and offering for sin are not what you ask.

7 Oo markaasaan idhi, Bal eeg, anigu waan imid, Oo kitaabka duudduuban wax igu saabsan baa ku qoran.

Then said I, ‘Here I am, as the roll of the book has enjoined.

8 Ilaahayow, waxaan jeclahay inaan sameeyo doonistaada, Haah, oo sharcigaagu wuxuu ku dhex jiraa qalbigayga.

My delight, O God, is to do your will, and your law is within my heart.’

9 Xaqnimo baan shirka weyn ku dhex wacdiyey, Oo bal eeg, inaanan bushimahayga ka joojin, Waad og tahay, Rabbiyow.

Well, O Lord, you know that, with lips unrestrained, your righteousness I told in the great congregation,

10 Xaqnimadaada qalbigayga kuma aan qarin, Aaminnimadaada iyo badbaadintaadana waan sheegay, Oo raxmaddaada iyo runtaadana kama aan qarin shirka weyn.

not hiding it in my heart. I have told of your steadfast help, from the great congregation I hid not your love and your faithfulness.

11 Rabbiyow, naxariistaada ha iga ceshan, Raxmaddaada iyo runtaaduna had iyo goorba ha i dhawreen.

So do not restrain, Lord, your pity from us. Your love and your faithfulness – ever may they be our shield.

12 Waayo, xumaatooyin aan la tirin karin ayaa i hareereeyey, Oo dembiyadaydii ayaa i qabsaday, sidaas daraaddeed kor ma fiirin karo, Iyagu way ka badan yihiin timaha madaxayga, oo qalbigaygiina waa i gabay.

For evils that cannot be numbered have compassed me round. My transgressions have followed me up – I can bear it no more. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart has forsaken me.

13 Rabbiyow, waan ku baryayaaye, i samatabbixi, Rabbiyow, u soo dhaqso inaad i caawiso.

O Lord, be pleased to deliver me, haste to my help, O Lord.

14 Kuwa doonaya inay naftayda halligaan ha ceeboobeen, Oo dhammaantood ha wareereen, Oo kuwa waxyeelladayda ku farxana Dib ha loo celiyo, oo sharafdarro ha ku soo degto.

May those who are seeking my life be ashamed and confounded together; may those who delight in my hurt be defeated and brought to dishonour.

15 Kuwa aniga, Ahaa, Ahaa, igu yidhaahda, Ceebtooda daraaddeed ha la fajeceen.

May those who hurrah over me be dumbfounded because of their shame.

16 Kuwa adiga ku doondoona oo dhammu ha reyreeyeen oo ha kugu farxeen, Oo kuwa badbaadintaada jecelu had iyo goorba ha yidhaahdeen, Rabbiga ha la weyneeyo!

But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all those eager for your aid, say, ‘Great is the Lord’ evermore.

17 Laakiinse anigu waxaan ahay miskiin iyo mid baahan, Sayidkuse waa i xusuustaa. Ilaahayow, waxaad tahay caawimaaddayda iyo samatabbixiyahayga, Haddaba ha iga raagin.

I am weak and needy, yet the Lord cares for me. You are my help and deliverer; don’t delay, my God.
