Sabuurradii 124

1 Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin Hadda reer binu Israa'iil ha yidhaahdeen,

“A psalm of the steps, or the goings up. By David.” If the LORD had not been for us, Now may Israel say,

2 Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,

If the LORD had not been for us, When men rose up against us,

3 Kolkaasay innagoo noolnool ina wada liqliqi lahaayeen, Markay aad inoogu cadhoodeen,

Then had they swallowed us up alive, When their wrath burned against us;

4 Kolkaasay biyuhu ina qarqin lahaayeen, Durdurna nafteennuu dul mari lahaa,

Then the waters had overwhelmed us; The stream had gone over our soul;

5 Oo kolkaasay biyaha kibirsanu nafteenna dul mari lahaayeen.

The proud waters had gone over our soul.

6 Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga Aan inaga dhigin ugaadh ilkahoodu ay qabsadaan.

Blessed be the LORD, Who hath not given us a prey to their teeth!

7 Nafteennu waxay u baxsatay sida shimbir uga baxsato dabinka shimbirrodabtaha, Dabinkii wuu go'ay, innaguna waynu baxsannay.

We have escaped like a bird from the snare of the fowler; The snare is broken, and we have escaped.

8 Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.

Our help is in the name of the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.
