¹A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet concerning erring ones:

¹Tanu waa salaaddii Xabaquuq, oo lagu luuqeeyo Shigyonood.

²O Jehovah, I heard thy report, I have been afraid, O Jehovah, Thy work! in midst of years revive it, In the midst of years Thou makest known In anger Thou dost remember mercy.

²Rabbiyow, waxaan maqlay warkaagii, waanan cabsanayaa. Rabbiyow, shuqulkaaga soo noolee sannadaha dhexdooda, Sannadaha dhexdooda ogeysii, Oo markii aad cadhootid naxariis soo xusuuso.

³God from Teman doth come, The Holy One from mount Paran. Pause! Covered the heavens hath His majesty, And His praise hath filled the earth.

³Ilaah wuxuu ka yimid Teemaan, Kii Quduuska ahaana wuxuu ka yimid Buur Faaraan. (Selaah) Sharaftiisii waxay ku fidday samooyinka, Oo dhulkiina waxaa ka buuxsamay ammaantiisii.

⁴And the brightness is as the light, He hath rays out of His hand, And there — the hiding of His strength.

⁴Oo dhalaalkiisiina wuxuu ahaa sida nuurka, Wuxuuna lahaa iftiin gacantiisa ka soo baxaya. Oo waxaa halkaas ku qarsoonaa xooggiisa.

⁵Before Him goeth pestilence, And a burning flame goeth forth at His feet.

⁵Waxaa hortiisa socday belaayo, Oo waxaa daba socday xummad.

⁶He hath stood, and He measureth earth, He hath seen, and He shaketh off nations, And scatter themselves do mountains of antiquity, Bowed have the hills of old, The ways of old [are] His.

⁶Wuu istaagay, oo dhulkuu qiyaasay, Wax buu fiiriyey, oo quruumihii buu kala eryay. Kolkaasaa buurihii weligood ahaa kala firdheen, Oo kurihii daa'imiska ahaana way wada foororsadeen. Socodkiisuna wuxuu ahaa sidii waagii hore.

⁷Under sorrow I have seen tents of Cushan, Tremble do curtains of the land of Midian.

⁷Waxaan arkay teendhooyinkii reer Kushan oo dhib ku dhex jira. Daahyadii dalka reer Midyaanna way gariireen.

⁸Against rivers hath Jehovah been wroth? Against rivers [is] Thine anger? Against the sea [is] Thy wrath? For Thou dost ride on Thy horses — Thy chariots of salvation?

⁸Rabbigu ma wuxuu u cadhooday webiyaasha? Ma waxaad u xanaaqday webiyaasha Mase waxaad u cadhootay badda? Ma saas aawadeed baad u soo fuushay fardahaaga, Iyo gaadhifardoodyadaadii badbaadinta?

⁹Utterly naked Thou dost make Thy bow, Sworn are the tribes — saying, `Pause!` [With] rivers Thou dost cleave the earth.

⁹Qaansadaadii daaha baad ka qaadday, Dhaartii aad qabiilooyinka ugu dhaaratayna waxay ahayd eray run ah. (Selaah) Dhulka waxaad ka dillaacisay webiyaal.

¹⁰Seen thee — pained are mountains, An inundation of waters hath passed over, Given forth hath the deep its voice, High its hands it hath lifted up.

¹⁰Buurihii way ku arkeen, oo way cabsadeen. Biyaha xoogga lahuna way iska gudbeen, Moolkii codkiisuu ku hadlay, Gacmihiisiina kor buu u taagay.

¹¹Sun — moon — hath stood — a habitation, At the light thine arrows go on, At the brightness, the glittering of thy spear.

¹¹Qorraxdii iyo dayaxiiba waxay istaageen rugtoodii, Markay fallaadhahaaga nuuraya lalayeen, Iyo markuu warankaaga dhalaalaya birbirqay.

¹²In indignation Thou dost tread earth, In anger Thou dost thresh nations.

¹²Dalkii xanaaq baad kula dhex socotay, Quruumihiina cadho baad ku tuntay.

¹³Thou hast gone forth for the salvation of Thy people, For salvation with Thine anointed, Thou hast smitten the head of the house of the wicked, Laying bare the foundation unto the neck. Pause!

¹³Waad u soo baxday inaad dadkaaga badbaadiso daraaddeed, Iyo inaad badbaadiso kaaga subkan. Reerka sharrowga madaxiisa waad dhaawacday. Aasaaskiina waad soo ban dhigtay. (Selaah)

¹⁴Thou hast pierced with his staves the head of his leaders, They are tempestuous to scatter me, Their exultation [is] as to consume the poor in secret.

¹⁴Madaxii dagaalyahanyadiisa waxaad ku mudday ulihiisii, Waxay u yimaadeen sidii dabayl cirwareen ah inay i kala firdhiyaan daraaddeed. Rayrayntoodu waxay ahayd inay masaakiinta qarsoodi u dhammeeyaan.

¹⁵Thou hast proceeded through the sea with Thy horses — the clay of many waters.

¹⁵Fardahaagii waad kula tumatay baddii, Taasoo ahayd biyaha aad u badan oo iskor taallaysan.

¹⁶I have heard, and my belly trembleth, At the noise have my lips quivered, Rottenness doth come into my bones, And in my place I do tremble, That I rest for a day of distress, At the coming up of the people, he overcometh it.

¹⁶Anigu waan maqlay, kolkaasaan caloosha ka naxay, Oo codkii aawadiis ayaa bushimahaygu la qadhqadheen, Lafahaygiina way qudhmeen, oo meeshaydaan ku gariiray, Inaan iska nasto intaan sugayo maalinta dhibka Oo ay ciidammadu ku soo kici doonaan dadka.

¹⁷Though the fig-tree doth not flourish, And there is no produce among vines, Failed hath the work of the olive, And fields have not yielded food, Cut off from the fold hath been the flock, And there is no herd in the stalls.

¹⁷Waayo, in kastoo berduhu uusan ubxin, Ama aan midho ku oollin geedaha canabka ah, Oo hawsha saytuunka lagu khasaaro, Ama aan beeraha quud ka bixin, Oo adhigu xerada ka baabbo'o, Oo golahana aan xoolo lagu arag,

¹⁸Yet I, in Jehovah I exult, I do joy in the God of my salvation.

¹⁸Haddana Rabbiga waan ku rayrayn doonaa, Oo Ilaaha badbaadadayda ah waan ku farxi doonaa.Rabbiga Sayidka ah ayaa xoog ii ah, Cagahaygana wuxuu ka dhigaa sida cagaha deerada, Oo wuxuu igu socodsiin doonaa meelahayga sarsare. Tan waxaa lagu tiriyey madaxdii muusikaystayaasha, oo waxaa lagu qaadaa alaabtayda xadhkaha leh.

¹⁹Jehovah the Lord [is] my strength, And He doth make my feet like hinds, And on my high-places causeth me to tread. To the overseer with my stringed instruments!
