Zabura 124

1 Waƙar haurawa. Ta Dawuda. Da ba don Ubangiji ya kasance a gefenmu ba, bari Isra’ila yă ce,

A Song of Ascents. By David. If it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, let Israel now say,

2 da ba don Ubangiji ya kasance a gefenmu ba sa’ad da aka auka mana,

if it had not been Yahweh who was on our side, when men rose up against us,

3 sa’ad da fushinsu ya ƙuna a kanmu, ai, da sun haɗiye mu da rai;

then they would have swallowed us up alive, when their wrath was kindled against us,

4 da rigyawa ta kwashe mu, da ambaliya ta rufe mu.

then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul.

5 Da ruwa mai hauka ya share mu ƙaf.

Then the proud waters would have gone over our soul.

6 Yabo ya tabbata ga Ubangiji, wanda bai bari aka yayyage mu da haƙoransu ba.

Blessed be Yahweh, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

7 Mun tsira kamar tsuntsu daga tarkon mai farauta; an tsinke tarko, muka kuwa tsira.

Our soul has escaped like a bird out of the fowler’s snare. The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Taimakonmu yana a sunan Ubangiji, Wanda ya yi sama da ƙasa.

Our help is in Yahweh’s name, who made heaven and earth.
