Sabuurradii 129

1 Tan iyo yaraantaydii marar badan bay i dhibeen, Reer binu Israa'iil hadda ha yidhaahdeen,

Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

2 Tan iyo yaraantaydii marar badan bay i dhibeen, Laakiinse igama ay adkaan.

Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

3 Kuwa beerta jeexa ayaa dhabarkayga jeexay, Oo jeexjeexoodiina way dheereeyeen.

The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4 Rabbigu waa xaq, Oo isagu wuxuu kala gooyay xadhkihii kuwa sharka leh.

The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

5 Inta Siyoon neceb oo dhammu, Ha ceeboobeen oo dib ha u noqdeen.

Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

6 Ha noqdeen sida cawska guryaha korkooda ka baxa Oo engega intaanu korin,

Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

7 Oo aan beergooyuhu gacantiisa ka buuxin, Kan xidhmooyinka xidhaana aanu laabtiisa ka buuxin.

Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

8 Oo kuwa ag maraana ma yidhaahdaan, Barakadii Rabbigu korkiinna ha ahaato. Waxaan idiinku ducaynaynaa magaca Rabbiga.

And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.
