1Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin Hadda reer binu Israa'iil ha yidhaahdeen,
1{A Song of degrees. Of David.} If it had not been Jehovah who was for us -- oh let Israel say --
2Haddaan Rabbigu inala jirin, Markii dadku inagu kacay,
2If it had not been Jehovah who was for us, when men rose up against us,
3Kolkaasay innagoo noolnool ina wada liqliqi lahaayeen, Markay aad inoogu cadhoodeen,
3Then they had swallowed us up alive, when their anger was kindled against us;
4Kolkaasay biyuhu ina qarqin lahaayeen, Durdurna nafteennuu dul mari lahaa,
4Then the waters had overwhelmed us, a torrent had gone over our soul;
5Oo kolkaasay biyaha kibirsanu nafteenna dul mari lahaayeen.
5Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.
6Waxaa mahad leh Rabbiga Aan inaga dhigin ugaadh ilkahoodu ay qabsadaan.
6Blessed be Jehovah, who gave us not up a prey to their teeth!
7Nafteennu waxay u baxsatay sida shimbir uga baxsato dabinka shimbirrodabtaha, Dabinkii wuu go'ay, innaguna waynu baxsannay.Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.
7Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we have escaped.
8Caawimaaddeennu waxay ku jirtaa magaca Rabbiga Sameeyey samada iyo dhulkaba.
8Our help is in the name of Jehovah, the maker of heavens and earth.
