¹In that day sung is this song in the land of Judah: `We have a strong city, Salvation He doth make walls and bulwark.

¹Oo maalintaas dalka Yahuudah waxaa lagaga gabyi doonaa gabaygan, Annagu magaalo xoog badan baannu leennahay, oo Rabbigu wuxuu derbiyo iyo qalcado nooga dhigi doonaa badbaado.

²Open ye the gates, that enter may a righteous nation, Preserving stedfastness.

²Irdaha fura, quruunta xaqa ah oo runta xajisa ha soo gashee.

³An imagination supported Thou fortifiest peace — peace! For in Thee it is confident.

³Qofkii maankiisu isku kaa halleeyo nabad dhan baad ku dhawri doontaa, maxaa yeelay, adiguu ku aaminsan yahay.

⁴Trust ye in Jehovah for ever, For in Jah Jehovah [is] a rock of ages,

⁴Rabbiga weligiinba aamina, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaaha ahu waa dhagax daa'im ah.

⁵For He bowed down the dwellers on high, A city set on high He maketh low, He maketh it low unto the earth, He causeth it to come unto the dust,

⁵Maxaa yeelay, isagaa hoos u soo dejiyey kuwii meelaha sare degganaa, oo magaaladii sarajoogga dheeraydna wuu hoosaysiiyey, oo wuxuu hoos ugu soo dejiyaa tan iyo dhulka, oo ciidduu ku soo xooraa.

⁶Tread it down doth a foot, Feet of the poor — steps of the weak.

⁶Oo cagahaa ku tuman doona, waana cagaha masaakiinta iyo tallaabooyinka saboolka baahan.

⁷The path for the righteous [is] uprightness, O upright One, The path of the righteous Thou dost ponder.

⁷Kan xaqa ah jidkiisu waa qumman yahay oo adigoo qumman ayaa wadiiqada kan xaqa ah toosiya.

⁸Also, [in] the path of Thy judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited [for] Thee, To Thy name and to Thy remembrance [Is] the desire of the soul.

⁸Rabbiyow, annagu waxaannu kugu sugaynay jidka xukummadaada. Oo naftayaduna waxay xiiso u qabtaa magacaaga iyo xusuustaada.

⁹[With] my soul I desired Thee in the night, Also, [with] my spirit within me I seek Thee earnestly, For when Thy judgments [are] on the earth, The inhabitants of the world have learned righteousness.

⁹Habeenka naftaydu adigay kuu xiisootay, oo ruuxa gudahayga ku jira ayaan aad kuugu doondooni doonaa, waayo, markii xukummadaadu ay dhulka joogaan ayaa dadka dunida degganu xaqnimo bartaan.

¹⁰The wicked findeth favour, He hath not learned righteousness, In a land of straightforwardness he dealeth perversely, And seeth not the excellency of Jehovah.

¹⁰Kan sharka ah haddii raalli laga noqdo isagu innaba xaqnimo ma barto, oo dalka qummanaanta ayuu caddaaladdarro ku samayn doonaa, oo haybadda Rabbigana ma uu fiirin doono.

¹¹O Jehovah, high [is] Thy hand — they see not, They see the zeal of the people, and are ashamed, Also, the fire — Thine adversaries, consumeth them.

¹¹Rabbiyow, gacantaadu kor bay u taagan tahay, laakiinse iyagu ma ay arkaan illowse waxay arki doonaan dadaalkaaga aad dadka u dadaashid, wayna ceeboobi doonaan, oo cadaawayaashaadana dab baa baabbi'in doona.

¹²O Jehovah, Thou appointest peace to us, For, all our works also Thou hast wrought for us.

¹²Rabbiyow, nabad baad na siin doontaa, oo weliba shuqulladayadii oo dhan baad noo wada samaysay.

¹³O Jehovah our God, lords have ruled us besides Thee, Only, by Thee we make mention of Thy name.

¹³Rabbiyow, Ilaahayagow, sayidyo kale oo aan adiga ahayn ayaa noo talin jiray, laakiinse adiga keliya ayaannu xusuusannaa oo magacaaga soo qaadnaa.

¹⁴Dead — they live not, Rephaim, they rise not, Therefore Thou hast inspected and dost destroy them, Yea, thou destroyest all their memory.

¹⁴Iyagu way dhinteen, soona noolaan maayaan, way baabbe'een, soona sarakici maayaan, oo sidaas daraaddeed waad soo booqatay oo baabbi'isay, oo xusuustoodii oo dhanna waad tirtirtay.

¹⁵Thou hast added to the nation, O Jehovah, Thou hast added to the nation, Thou hast been honoured, Thou hast put far off all the ends of earth.

¹⁵Quruunta waad kordhisay, Rabbiyow, quruunta waad kordhisay, oo adiga waa lagu ammaanay, oo dalka soohdimihiisii oo dhanna waad wada ballaadhisay.

¹⁶O Jehovah, in distress they missed Thee, They have poured out a whisper, Thy chastisement [is] on them.

¹⁶Rabbiyow, markay dhibaataysnaayeen way ku doondooneen, oo markaad edbinaysayna aad bay kuu baryeen.

¹⁷When a pregnant woman cometh near to the birth, She is pained — she crieth in her pangs, So we have been from Thy face, O Jehovah.

¹⁷Rabbiyow, naag uur leh oo ku soo dhowaatay shinkii ay dhali lahayd, siday u xanuunsato oo ay foosheeda ugu qayliso ayaannu hortaada ku noqonnay.

¹⁸We have conceived, we have been pained. We have brought forth as it were wind, Salvation we do not work in the earth, Nor do the inhabitants of the world fall.

¹⁸Annagu waannu uuraysannay, oo xanuunkii foosha ayaa na qabtay, oo waxaannu noqonnay sidii wax dabayl dhalay, oo dhulkana samatabbixin kuma aannu samayn, oo dadka dunida degganuna ma ay dhalan.

¹⁹`Thy dead live — My dead body they rise. Awake and sing, ye dwellers in the dust, For the dew of herbs [is] thy dew, And the land of Rephaim thou causest to fall.

¹⁹Kuwaagii dhintay way soo noolaan doonaan, meydadkuna way soo sara kici doonaan. Kuwiinna ciidda ku dhex jirow, soo toosa oo gabya! Rabbiyow, dharabkaagu waa sida dharabka geedaha nooleeya, oo dhulkuna meydadkuu soo xoori doonaa.

²⁰Come, My people, enter into thy inner chambers, And shut thy doors behind thee, Hide thyself shortly a moment till the indignation pass over.

²⁰Dadkaygow, kaalaya, qolladihiinna gala, oo albaabbadiinna soo xidha, oo wakhti yar dhuunta, intay cadhadu gudbayso.Waayo, bal eega, Rabbigu wuxuu meeshiisa uga soo kacayaa inuu dadka dhulka deggan xumaantooda u ciqaabo. Dhulkuna wuxuu daaha ka qaadi doonaa dhiiggiisa, oo kuwa la laayayna mar dambe ma dabooli doono.

²¹For, lo, Jehovah is coming out of His place, To charge the iniquity of the inhabitant of the earth upon him, And revealed hath the earth her blood, Nor doth she cover any more her slain!`

²¹Waayo, bal eega, Rabbigu wuxuu meeshiisa uga soo kacayaa inuu dadka dhulka deggan xumaantooda u ciqaabo. Dhulkuna wuxuu daaha ka qaadi doonaa dhiiggiisa, oo kuwa la laayayna mar dambe ma dabooli doono.
