¹An Instruction of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my law, Incline your ear to sayings of my mouth.

¹Dadkaygiiyow, sharcigayga dhegaysta, Oo dhegahana u dhiga erayada afkayga.

²I open with a simile my mouth, I bring forth hidden things of old,

²Afkayga waxaan ku furi doonaa masaal, Oo waxaan ku dhawaaqi doonaa xujooyin hore,

³That we have heard and do know, And our fathers have recounted to us.

³Kuwaasoo aynu maqalnay oo aynu niqiin, Oo ay awowayaasheen inoo sheegeen.

⁴We do not hide from their sons, To a later generation recounting praises of Jehovah, And His strength, and His wonders that He hath done.

⁴Ka qarin mayno carruurtooda, Laakiin waxaynu farcanka soo socda u sheegaynaa Rabbiga ammaantiisa, Iyo xooggiisa, iyo shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa oo uu sameeyey.

⁵And He raiseth up a testimony in Jacob, And a law hath placed in Israel, That He commanded our fathers, To make them known to their sons.

⁵Waayo, markhaati buu reer Yacquub ka dhex dhisay, Oo sharci buu reer binu Israa'iil u dejiyey, Kaasoo uu ku amray awowayaasheen, Inay carruurtooda dambe ogeysiiyaan aawadeed,

⁶So that a later generation doth know, Sons who are born, do rise and recount to their sons,

⁶Iyo in farcanka soo socdaa ay iyaga ogaadaan, kuwaasoo ah carruurta hadda ka dib dhalanaysa, Kuwaasoo iyana kici doona oo carruurtooda u sheegi doona,

⁷And place in God their confidence, And forget not the doings of God, But keep His commands.

⁷Inay rajadooda Ilaah ku xidhaan, Oo aanay illoobin Ilaah shuqulladiisii, Laakiinse ay xajiyaan amarradiisa,

⁸And they are not like their fathers, A generation apostate and rebellious, A generation! it hath not prepared its heart, Nor stedfast with God [is] its spirit.

⁸Oo aanay sidii awowayaashood oo kale noqon Farcan madax adag oo caasi badan, Kaasoo ah farcan aan qalbigoodu qummanayn, Oo naftooduna aanay xagga Ilaah aamin ku ahayn.

⁹Sons of Ephraim — armed bearers of bow, Have turned in a day of conflict.

⁹Reer Efrayim iyagoo hub iyo qaansooyin sita Ayay maalintii dagaalka dib u noqdeen.

¹⁰They have not kept the covenant of God, And in His law they have refused to walk,

¹⁰Axdigii Ilaah ma ay xajin, Oo waxay diideen inay sharcigiisii ku socdaan,

¹¹And they forget His doings, And His wonders that He shewed them.

¹¹Oo waxay illoobeen falimihiisa Iyo shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa oo uu iyaga tusay.

¹²Before their fathers He hath done wonders, In the land of Egypt — the field of Zoan.

¹²Waxyaalo yaab badan ayuu awowayaashood ku hor sameeyey, Markay joogeen dalkii Masar iyo berrinkii Socan.

¹³He cleft a sea, and causeth them to pass over, Yea, He causeth waters to stand as a heap.

¹³Isagu badduu kala gooyay, oo iyagii dhex marsiiyey, Oo biyihiina wuxuu ka dhigay inay sidii taallo u taagnaadaan.

¹⁴And leadeth them with a cloud by day, And all the night with a light of fire.

¹⁴Oo weliba maalinnimadii wuxuu ku hoggaamiyey daruur, Oo habeennimadii oo dhanna wuxuu ku hoggaamiyey dab iftiinkiis.

¹⁵He cleaveth rocks in a wilderness, And giveth drink — as the great deep.

¹⁵Wuxuu kala jebiyey dhagaxyadii cidlada, Oo wuxuu iyaga ka siiyey cabniin aad u badan oo ah sidii kan moolka laga helo.

¹⁶And bringeth out streams from a rock, And causeth waters to come down as rivers.

¹⁶Oo weliba wuxuu dhagaxa weyn ka soo faruuray durdurro, Oo wuxuu biyo u qulquliyey sidii webiyada oo kale.

¹⁷And they add still to sin against Him, To provoke the Most High in the dry place.

¹⁷Laakiinse iyagu weli way ku sii socdeen inay isaga ku dembaabaan, Inay ku caasiyoobaan Ilaaha ugu sarreeya intii ay cidladii joogeen.

¹⁸And they try God in their heart, To ask food for their lust.

¹⁸Oo weliba Ilaah waxay ku tijaabiyeen qalbigooda Kolkii ay hilib u weyddiisteen damacooda aawadiis.

¹⁹And they speak against God — they said: `Is God able to array a table in a wilderness?`

¹⁹Oo Ilaah bay wax ka sheegeen, Oo waxay yidhaahdeen, Ilaah ma miis buu cidlada ku diyaarin karaa?

²⁰Lo, He hath smitten a rock, And waters flow, yea, streams overflow. `Also — bread [is] He able to give? Doth He prepare flesh for His people?`

²⁰Bal eeg, dhagaxii ayuu wax ku dhuftay, markaasaa biyo ka soo buqdeen Oo durdurraa ka soo buuxdhaafay, Haddaba miyuu kibisna bixin karaa? Miyuu dadkiisa hilib siin karaa?

²¹Therefore hath Jehovah heard, And He sheweth Himself wroth, And fire hath been kindled against Jacob, And anger also hath gone up against Israel,

²¹Sidaas daraaddeed Rabbigu taas buu maqlay, wuuna cadhooday, Oo reer Yacquub dab baa ku shidmay, Reer binu Israa'iilna cadhaa ku dhacday,

²²For they have not believed in God, Nor have they trusted in His salvation.

²²Maxaa yeelay, Ilaah ma ay rumaysan, Oo badbaadintiisana iskuma ay hallayn.

²³And He commandeth clouds from above, Yea, doors of the heavens He hath opened.

²³Laakiin isagu wuxuu amray cirka sare Oo albaabbadii samadana wuu furay;

²⁴And He raineth on them manna to eat, Yea, corn of heaven He hath given to them.

²⁴Oo wuxuu ku soo daayay maanna ay cunaan, Oo wuxuu iyagii wax ka siiyey hadhuudhkii samada.

²⁵Food of the mighty hath each eaten, Venison He sent to them to satiety.

²⁵Dadkii waxay cuneen kibistii malaa'igaha, Oo weliba wuxuu iyaga u soo diray hilib ay ka dhergaan.

²⁶He causeth an east wind to journey in the heavens, And leadeth by His strength a south wind,

²⁶Isagu wuxuu samada ka kiciyey dabaysha bari, Oo dabaysha koonfureedna xooggiisuu ku hoggaamiyey.

²⁷And He raineth on them flesh as dust, And as sand of the seas — winged fowl,

²⁷Oo korkoodana hilib buu ugu soo daadiyey sidii ciidda oo kale, Oo wuxuu ku soo daayay haad baalal leh oo ah sidii cammuudda badaha,

²⁸And causeth [it] to fall in the midst of His camp, Round about His tabernacles.

²⁸Oo wuxuu ku soo daadiyey xeradooda dhexdeeda, Iyo rugahooda hareerahooda.

²⁹And they eat, and are greatly satisfied, And their desire He bringeth to them.

²⁹Sidaas daraaddeed iyagii way cuneen, oo aad bay uga dhergeen, Oo isna wuxuu iyagii siiyey wixii ay u jeellanaayeen.

³⁰They have not been estranged from their desire, Yet [is] their food in their mouth,

³⁰Iyagu jeelkii damacooda kama ay xiisa dhicin, Oo cuntadoodii weli afkooday ku jirtay,

³¹And the anger of God hath gone up against them, And He slayeth among their fat ones, And youths of Israel He caused to bend.

³¹Markii cadhada Ilaah ay iyaga ku dhacday, Oo ay dishay kuwii iyaga ugu buurbuurnaa, Oo ay laysay raggii dhallinyarada ahaa oo reer binu Israa'iil.

³²With all this they have sinned again, And have not believed in His wonders.

³²In kastoo waxyaalahaas oo dhammu ay ku dheceen, Weli way sii dembaabeen, Oo mana ay rumaysan shuqulladiisii yaabka badnaa.

³³And He consumeth in vanity their days, And their years in trouble.

³³Sidaas daraaddeed maalmahoodii wuxuu ku dhammeeyey wax aan waxtar lahayn, Cimrigoodiina cabsi.

³⁴If He slew them, then they sought Him, And turned back, and sought God earnestly,

³⁴Markii uu iyaga laayay ayay isaga dooneen, Oo haddiiba way soo noqdeen oo Ilaah goor hore doondooneen.

³⁵And they remember that God [is] their rock, And God Most High their redeemer.

³⁵Oo waxay xusuusteen in Ilaah ahaa dhagaxoodii weynaa, Iyo in Ilaaha ugu sarreeyaa uu ahaa Bixiyahooda.

³⁶And — they deceive Him with their mouth, And with their tongue do lie to Him,

³⁶Laakiinse waxay isaga ku faansheen afkooda, Oo carrabkoodana been bay ugu sheegeen.

³⁷And their heart hath not been right with Him, And they have not been stedfast in His covenant.

³⁷Waayo, qalbigoodu xaggiisa kuma hagaagsanayn, Oo axdigiisiina daacad uma ay ahayn.

³⁸And He — the Merciful One, Pardoneth iniquity, and destroyeth not, And hath often turned back His anger, And waketh not up all His fury.

³⁸Laakiinse isagoo raxmad miidhan ah ayuu xumaantoodii cafiyey, oo mana uu baabbi'in iyagii, Haah, oo marar badan ayuu cadhadiisii ka leexiyey, Oo cadhadiisii oo dhanna ma uu wada kicin.

³⁹And He remembereth that they [are] flesh, A wind going on — and it returneth not.

³⁹Oo wuxuu xusuustay inay iyagu yihiin binu-aadmi, Iyo dabayl iska gudubta oo aan mar dambe soo noqon.

⁴⁰How often do they provoke Him in the wilderness, Grieve Him in the desolate place?

⁴⁰Immisa jeer bay isaga ku caasiyoobeen markay cidlada joogeen, Oo immisa jeer bay calool xumeeyeen markay lamadegaanka dhex joogeen!

⁴¹Yea, they turn back, and try God, And the Holy One of Israel have limited.

⁴¹Oo haddana way soo noqdeen oo waxay tijaabiyeen Ilaah, Oo waxay ka xanaajiyeen reer binu Israa'iil Kooda Quduuska ah.

⁴²They have not remembered His hand The day He ransomed them from the adversary.

⁴²Sooma ay xusuusan gacantiisii, Iyo maalintii uu iyaga ka soo furtay cadowga toona,

⁴³When He set His signs in Egypt, And His wonders in the field of Zoan,

⁴³Iyo xataa siduu calaamooyinkiisii Masar ugu dhex sameeyey, Yaababkiisiina berrinkii Socan.

⁴⁴And He turneth to blood their streams, And their floods they drink not.

⁴⁴Iyo siduu webiyaashoodii dhiigga ugu beddelay, Durdurradoodiina, si aanay waxba uga cabbi karin.

⁴⁵He sendeth among them the beetle, and it consumeth them, And the frog, and it destroyeth them,

⁴⁵Wuxuu ku soo dhex daayay duqsiyo badan, wayna cuneen, Iyo xataa rahyo, oo iyana way baabbi'iyeen.

⁴⁶And giveth to the caterpillar their increase, And their labour to the locust.

⁴⁶Oo weliba wixii u baxay wuxuu siiyey diir, Oo waxay ku hawshoodeenna wuxuu siiyey ayax.

⁴⁷He destroyeth with hail their vine, And their sycamores with frost,

⁴⁷Geedcanabkoodii wuxuu ku baabbi'iyey roobdhagaxyaale, Oo dhirtoodii darayga ahaydna wuxuu ku baabbi'iyey sayax barafoobay.

⁴⁸And delivereth up to the hail their beasts, And their cattle to the burning flames.

⁴⁸Xoolahoodii wuxuu ku soo daayay roobdhagaxyaalaha, Adhyahoodiina danabyo kulul.

⁴⁹He sendeth on them the fury of His anger, Wrath, and indignation, and distress — A discharge of evil messengers.

⁴⁹Oo wuxuu ku soo daayay kulaylkii cadhadiisa, Iyo xanaaq, iyo dhirif, iyo dhib, Iyo guuto ah malaa'igo shar ah.

⁵⁰He pondereth a path for His anger, He kept not back their soul from death, Yea, their life to the pestilence He delivered up.

⁵⁰Isagu cadhadiisii wadduu u sameeyey, Oo naftoodiina dhimasho ugama uu lexejeclaan, Laakiinse noloshoodii wuxuu u daayay belaayada,

⁵¹And He smiteth every first-born in Egypt, The first-fruit of the strong in tents of Ham.

⁵¹Oo wuxuu dalkii Masar ku laayay curadyadii oo dhan, Kuwaas oo ahaa xooggoodii u horreeyey oo uu ku dhex laayay teendhooyinkii Xaam,

⁵²And causeth His people to journey as a flock, And guideth them as a drove in a wilderness,

⁵²Laakiinse isagu dadkiisii sidii ido oo kale ayuu u hor kacay, Oo cidladuu ku dhex hoggaamiyey iyaga sidii adhi oo kale.

⁵³And He leadeth them confidently, And they have not been afraid, And their enemies hath the sea covered.

⁵³Oo ammaan buu ku hoggaamiyey, si aanay u baqin, Laakiinse cadaawayaashoodii baddaa qarqisay.

⁵⁴And He bringeth them in unto the border of His sanctuary, This mountain His right hand had got,

⁵⁴Oo wuxuu iyagii keenay xuduudkii meeshiisa quduuska ah, Iyo ilaa buurtan ay midigtiisu iibsatay.

⁵⁵And casteth out nations from before them, And causeth them to fall in the line of inheritance, And causeth the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents,

⁵⁵Oo weliba hortoodana wuxuu ka eryay quruumaha, Oo dhaxal ahaan buu ugu qaybiyey. Oo qabiilooyinkii reer binu Israa'iilna wuxuu dejiyey teendhooyinkoodii.

⁵⁶And they tempt and provoke God Most High, And His testimonies have not kept.

⁵⁶Laakiin way jirrabeen oo ku caasiyoobeen Ilaaha ugu sarreeya, Oo markhaatifurkiisiina ma ay xajin,

⁵⁷And they turn back, And deal treacherously like their fathers, They have been turned like a deceitful bow,

⁵⁷Laakiinse dib bay u noqdeen, oo sidii awowayaashood ayay si aan daacad ahayn ula dhaqmeen, Oo iyagu waxay u leexdeen sidii qaanso khiyaano badan.

⁵⁸And make Him angry with their high places, And with their graven images make Him zealous,

⁵⁸Waayo, waxay isaga kaga xanaajiyeen meelahoodii sarsare, Oo waxay isaga uga hinaasiyeen sanamyadooda la qoray.

⁵⁹God hath heard, and sheweth Himself wroth. And kicketh exceedingly against Israel.

⁵⁹Ilaah markuu taas maqlay ayuu cadhooday, Oo aad buu reer binu Israa'iil u karhay,

⁶⁰And He leaveth the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent He had placed among men,

⁶⁰Sidaas daraaddeed taambuuggii Shiiloh wuu dayriyey, Kaasoo ah teendhadii uu dadka dhex dhigay,

⁶¹And He giveth His strength to captivity, And His beauty into the hand of an adversary,

⁶¹Oo xooggiisii wuxuu u gacangeliyey maxaabiisnimo, Ammaantiisiina wuxuu ku riday cadowga gacantiisii.

⁶²And delivereth up to the sword His people, And with His inheritance shewed Himself angry.

⁶²Dadkiisiina wuxuu u gacangeliyey seef, Oo wuxuu u cadhooday dhaxalkiisii.

⁶³His young men hath fire consumed, And His virgins have not been praised.

⁶³Raggoodii dhallinyarada ahaa dab baa laastay, Gabdhahoodiina buraanbur aroos looma tirin.

⁶⁴His priests by the sword have fallen, And their widows weep not.

⁶⁴Wadaaddadoodii waxay ku dhinteen seef, Carmalladoodiina uma ay barooran.

⁶⁵And the Lord waketh as a sleeper, As a mighty one crying aloud from wine.

⁶⁵Markaasaa Sayidku wuxuu u kacay sidii mid hurdo ka toosay, Sidii nin xoog badan oo la qaylinaya khamri daraaddiis.

⁶⁶And He smiteth His adversaries backward, A reproach age-during He hath put on them,

⁶⁶Cadaawayaashiisiina wuu ku dhuftay oo dib buu u celiyey, Oo wuxuu saaray ceeb aan weligeed ka hadhayn.

⁶⁷And He kicketh against the tent of Joseph, And on the tribe of Ephraim hath not fixed.

⁶⁷Oo weliba wuu diiday teendhadii reer Yuusuf, Qabiilkii reer Efrayimna ma uu dooran,

⁶⁸And He chooseth the tribe of Judah, With mount Zion that He loved,

⁶⁸Laakiinse wuxuu doortay qabiilkii reer Yahuudah, Iyo Buur Siyoon oo uu jeclaaday.

⁶⁹And buildeth His sanctuary as a high place, Like the earth, He founded it to the age.

⁶⁹Oo meeshiisii quduuska ahayd wuxuu u dhisay sidii meelaha sare, Iyo sidii dhulka uu weligiis adkeeyey.

⁷⁰And He fixeth on David His servant, And taketh him from the folds of a flock,

⁷⁰Wuxuuna doortay addoonkiisii Daa'uud, Oo wuxuu isaga ka soo waday xeryaha idaha,

⁷¹From behind suckling ones He hath brought him in, To rule over Jacob His people, And over Israel His inheritance.

⁷¹Wuxuu ka soo waday laxihii ilmo nuujinayay oo uu raacayay, Inuu daajiyo reer Yacquub oo dadkiisa ah, iyo reer binu Israa'iil oo dhaxalkiisa ah.Haddaba wuxuu u daajinayay si waafaqsan daacadnimada qalbigiisa, Oo wuxuu ku hoggaaminayay farsamada gacmihiisa.

⁷²And he ruleth them according to the integrity of his heart, And by the skilfulness of his hands leadeth them!

⁷²Haddaba wuxuu u daajinayay si waafaqsan daacadnimada qalbigiisa, Oo wuxuu ku hoggaaminayay farsamada gacmihiisa.
