¹Ilaahow, dhegahayagaannu ku maqallay, oo waxaa noo sheegay awowayaashayo Shuqulkii aad samaysay wakhtigoodii oo ahaa waa hore.

¹{To the chief Musician. Of the sons of Korah. An instruction.} O God, with our ears have we heard, our fathers have told us, the work thou wroughtest in their days, in the days of old:

²Quruumihii gacantaadaad ku eriday, oo meeshoodii awowayaashayo baad ku beertay, Dadyowgii waad dhibtay, oo dibaddaad ku kala firdhisay.

²Thou, by thy hand, didst dispossess the nations, but them thou didst plant; thou didst afflict the peoples, but them didst thou cause to spread out.

³Waayo, iyagu dalka kuma hantiyin seeftooda, Oo cududdooduna ma ay badbaadin, Laakiinse midigtaada iyo cududdaada iyo nuurka wejigaaga ayaa badbaadshay iyaga, Maxaa yeelay, raalli baad ka ahayd.

³For not by their own sword did they take possession of the land, neither did their own arm save them; but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst delight in them.

⁴Ilaahow, waxaad tahay boqorkayga, Haddaba reer Yacquub samatabbixin u amar.

⁴Thou thyself art my king, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.

⁵Adiga daraaddaa ayaannu cadaawayaashayada hoos ugu riixaynaa, Oo magacaaga daraaddiis ayaan kula tumanaynaa kuwa nagu kaca.

⁵Through thee will we push down our adversaries; through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.

⁶Waayo, qaansadayda isku hallayn maayo, Oo seeftayduna i badbaadin mayso.

⁶For I will not put confidence in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.

⁷Laakiinse adigu cadaawayaashayadaad naga badbaadisay, Oo kuwa na necebna waad ceebaysay.

⁷For thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.

⁸Maalinta oo dhan waxaannu ku faannaa Ilaah, Oo annana weligayo waxaannu ku mahad naqaynaa magacaaga. (Selaah)

⁸In God will we boast all the day, and we will praise thy name for ever. Selah.

⁹Laakiinse haatan waad na xoortay, oo sharafdarrona waad nagu soo dejisay, Oo weliba ciidammadayadana ma aad hor kacdid.

⁹But thou hast cast off, and put us to confusion, and dost not go forth with our armies;

¹⁰Waxaa dib nooga celisaa cadowgayaga hortiisa, Oo kuwa na necebuna way na dhacaan.

¹⁰Thou hast made us to turn back from the adversary, and they that hate us spoil for themselves;

¹¹Waxaad naga dhigtay sidii ido la qalayo, Oo waxaad nagu kala firdhisay quruumaha dhexdooda.

¹¹Thou hast given us over like sheep [appointed] for meat, and hast scattered us among the nations;

¹²Dadkaaga qiimola'aan baad ku iibisaa, Oo maalkaagana kuma aad kordhin qiimahoodii.

¹²Thou hast sold thy people for nought, and hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price;

¹³Deriskayaga waxaad nooga dhigtaa cay, Oo kuwa hareerahayaga ku wareegsanna waxaad nooga dhigtaa quudhsasho iyo qosol.

¹³Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a mockery and a derision for them that are round about us;

¹⁴Quruumaha dhexdooda waxaad nooga dhigtaa halqabsi, Dadyowga dhexdoodana waxaad nooga dhigtaa kuwa madaxa laga lulo.

¹⁴Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.

¹⁵Maalinta oo dhan sharafdarradaydu way i hor taal, Oo waxaa iga muuqatay ceebtii wejigayga,

¹⁵All the day my confusion is before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,

¹⁶Waayo, sababtu waxaa weeye codka kan i caaya oo i af xumeeya, Iyo cadowga iyo kan iga aarguta daraaddood.

¹⁶Because of the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.

¹⁷Waxyaalahaas oo dhammu way nagu dhaceen, laakiinse weli kuma aannu illoobin, Axdigaagana khiyaano kuma aannu samayn.

¹⁷All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely against thy covenant:

¹⁸Qalbigayagu dib uma noqon, Oo tallaabooyinkayaguna jidkaaga kama baydhin,

¹⁸Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy path;

¹⁹Adiguse waxaad si xun noogu jebisay meeshii dawacooyinka, Oo waxaad nagu qarisay hooskii dhimashada.

¹⁹Though thou hast crushed us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.

²⁰Haddii aannu illownay magicii Ilaahayaga, Ama aannu gacmahayaga u kala bixinnay ilaah qalaad,

²⁰If we had forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a strange ùgod,

²¹Ilaah miyaanu waxaas baadhayn? Waayo, isagu waa wada og yahay qalbiga waxyaalihiisa qarsoon.

²¹Would not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

²²Haah, oo adiga daraaddaa ayaa naloo laayaa maalinta oo dhan, Oo waxaannu noqonnaa sida ido la qalayo.

²²But for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are reckoned as sheep for slaughter.

²³Toos, maxaad u huruddaa, Sayidow? Sara joogso, oo ha na xoorin weligaa.

²³Awake, why sleepest thou, Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.

²⁴Bal maxaad wejiga nooga qarsanaysaa, Oo aad u illoobaysaa dhibaatada iyo dulmiga aan ku dhex jirno?

²⁴Wherefore hidest thou thy face, [and] forgettest our affliction and our oppression?

²⁵Waayo, naftayadu ciidday ku foororsatay, Oo calooshayaduna dhulkay ku dhegtaa.Caawimaaddayada daraaddeed u sara joogso, Oo raxmaddaada daraaddeed noo furo.

²⁵For our soul is bowed down to the dust; our belly cleaveth unto the earth.

²⁶Caawimaaddayada daraaddeed u sara joogso, Oo raxmaddaada daraaddeed noo furo.

²⁶Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy loving-kindness' sake.
