Sabuurradii 58
1 Hubaal xaqnimada aamusnaan ma ku sheegtaan? Binu-aadmigow, si qumman wax ma u xukuntaan?
When you mighty men speak, you never say what is right; you never decide things about people justly [RHQ]!
2 Hubaal qalbiga waxaad ka samaysaan xumaato, Oo waxaad ka fikirtaan dulmiga gacmihiinna oo aad dhulka ku samaysaan.
No, in your inner beings you think only about doing what is wrong, and you commit violent crimes in this land [of Israel].
3 Kuwa sharka lahu waxay qalaad ku noqdaan uurkii hooyadood, Oo mar alla markii ay dhashaan ayay habaabaan iyagoo been sheegaya.
Wicked people do wrong things and tell lies from the time that they are born [DOU].
4 Suntoodu waa sida abeesada waabaydeeda oo kale, Iyagu waa sida jilbis dhega la' oo dhegihiisa fureeya,
God, show in the heavens how great you are! And show your glory to people all over the earth! What wicked people say [injures people like] the venom of a snake [MET]; They refuse to listen to good advice, [as though they were] cobras that were deaf [MET]!
5 Kaasoo aan maqlin codka saaxiriinta, Iyagoo si caqli ah u sixraya.
As a result, [like a snake that does not respond when] a charmer plays a flute or when someone sings magic songs, [they do not pay attention when others rebuke them].
6 Ilaahow, ilkahooda afkooda ku dhex burburi, Rabbiyow, libaaxyada aaranka ah miciyahooda jejebi.
God, as for these enemies who [want to attack me like] young lions, break their teeth!
7 Ha u dhalaaleen sida biyo aad u durduraya. Markuu fallaadhihiisa wax ku liishaamo, ha noqdeen sida wax kala jabay.
Cause them to disappear like water disappears [in dry ground]! Cause the arrows that they shoot to have no (heads/sharp points)!
8 Ha noqdeen sida alalaxayda dhalaasha oo iska baabba'da, Iyo sida dhicis naageed oo aan qorraxda arkin.
Cause them to become like snails that disappear in the slime; cause them to be like babies that are born dead!
9 Intaan dheryihiinnu qodxaha taaban, Ayuu kuwa qoyan iyo kuwa ololayaba ku kala firdhin doonaa dabayl cirwareen ah.
Get rid of them [as fast as] thornbushes are blown away [after they are cut] (OR, [as fast as] a fire heats a pot over burning thorns).
10 Kan xaqa ahu wuu rayrayn doonaa markuu arko aargudashada, Oo wuxuu ku cago maydhan doonaa kan sharka leh dhiiggiisa.
Righteous people will rejoice when they see wicked people being punished as they deserve; they will wash their feet in the blood of wicked people.
11 Sidaas daraaddeed dadku wuxuu odhan doonaa, Hubaal kii xaq ahu abaalgud buu leeyahay, Hubaal waxaa jira Ilaah dhulka xukuma.
[Then] people will say, “It is true that there is a reward for righteous people; and there is indeed a God who judges people justly here on the earth!”
