¹A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,

¹Rabbiyow, tan iyo ka ab ka ab Adigu waxaad noo ahayd meesha aannu degganaanno.

²Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.

²Intaan buuruhu dhalan ka hor, Iyo intaanad samayn dhulka iyo dunida, Iyo xataa weligeed iyo weligeedba adigu waxaad tahay Ilaah.

³Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons of men.

³Dadka waxaad ku soo celisaa baabba', Oo waxaad ku tidhaahdaa, Noqda, binu-aadmigow.

⁴For a thousand years in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.

⁴Waayo, kun sannadood waxay hortaada ku yihiin Sida shalay oo kale markay dhammaadaan. Oo waxay la mid yihiin sida wakhti la soo jeedo oo habeennimo.

⁵Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.

⁵Waxaad iyaga u qaaddaa sida daadku wax u qaado, oo iyagu waxa weeye sida hurdo oo kale, Oo subaxdana waxay u baxaan sida doog oo kale.

⁶In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.

⁶Subaxda way cagaaraan, wayna soo baxaan, Oo fiidkana waa la jaraa, wayna engegaan.

⁷For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.

⁷Waayo, annagu cadhadaadii baannu ku baabba'nay, Oo waxaan ku dhibtoonnay xanaaqaagii.

⁸Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,

⁸Xumaatooyinkayagii waxaad dhigtay hortaada, Oo dembiyadayadii qarsoonaana waxaad dhigtay iftiinka wejigaaga.

⁹For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a meditation.

⁹Waayo, maalmahayagii oo dhammu waxay nagu dhaafeen cadhadaada, Oo cimrigayagiina wuxuu u dhammaaday sidii sheeko la sheegay.

¹⁰Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.

¹⁰Waayo, wakhtiga cimrigayagu waxa weeye toddobaatan sannadood, Oo xataa hadduu xoog aawadiis ku sii dheeraado waa siddeetan sannadood, Laakiinse faankiisu waa hawl iyo caloolxumo miidhan, Waayo, haddiiba wuu iska dhammaadaa, oo annana waannu duulnaa.

¹¹Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?

¹¹Bal yaa yaqaan cadhadaada xooggeeda, Iyo xanaaqaaga kaas oo waafaqsan cabsida kugu habboon in lagaa cabsado?

¹²To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.

¹²Haddaba na bar inaannu tirinno maalmaha cimrigayaga, Si aannu u helno qalbi xigmad leh.

¹³Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.

¹³Rabbiyow, soo noqo, ilaa goormaad soo noqonaysaa? Oo raalli ka ahow addoommadaada.

¹⁴Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.

¹⁴Aroorta naxariistaada naga dhergi, Si aannu u rayrayno oo aannu u faraxsanaano maalmaha cimrigayaga oo dhan.

¹⁵Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.

¹⁵Nooga farxi intii ay ahaayeen maalmihii aad na dhibtay, Iyo sannadihii aan sharka aragnay in le'eg.

¹⁶Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.

¹⁶Shuqulkaagu ha u muuqdo addoommadaada, Ammaantaaduna carruurtooda.Oo Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah nicmadiisu ha na dul joogto, Oo korkayaga ku adkee shuqulka gacmahayaga, Haah, shuqulka gacmahayaga adkee.

¹⁷And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!

¹⁷Oo Rabbiga Ilaahayaga ah nicmadiisu ha na dul joogto, Oo korkayaga ku adkee shuqulka gacmahayaga, Haah, shuqulka gacmahayaga adkee.
