¹Hubaal xaqnimada aamusnaan ma ku sheegtaan? Binu-aadmigow, si qumman wax ma u xukuntaan?

¹{To the chief Musician. 'Destroy not.' Of David. Michtam.} Is righteousness indeed silent? Do ye speak it? Do ye judge with equity, ye sons of men?

²Hubaal qalbiga waxaad ka samaysaan xumaato, Oo waxaad ka fikirtaan dulmiga gacmihiinna oo aad dhulka ku samaysaan.

²Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

³Kuwa sharka lahu waxay qalaad ku noqdaan uurkii hooyadood, Oo mar alla markii ay dhashaan ayay habaabaan iyagoo been sheegaya.

³The wicked go astray from the womb; they err as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

⁴Suntoodu waa sida abeesada waabaydeeda oo kale, Iyagu waa sida jilbis dhega la' oo dhegihiisa fureeya,

⁴Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder which stoppeth her ear;

⁵Kaasoo aan maqlin codka saaxiriinta, Iyagoo si caqli ah u sixraya.

⁵Which doth not hearken to the voice of enchanters, of one charming ever so wisely.

⁶Ilaahow, ilkahooda afkooda ku dhex burburi, Rabbiyow, libaaxyada aaranka ah miciyahooda jejebi.

⁶O God, break their teeth in their mouth; break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.

⁷Ha u dhalaaleen sida biyo aad u durduraya. Markuu fallaadhihiisa wax ku liishaamo, ha noqdeen sida wax kala jabay.

⁷Let them melt away as waters that flow off; when he aimeth his arrows, let them be as blunted:

⁸Ha noqdeen sida alalaxayda dhalaasha oo iska baabba'da, Iyo sida dhicis naageed oo aan qorraxda arkin.

⁸Let them be as a snail that melteth as it passeth away; [like] the untimely birth of a woman, let them not see the sun.

⁹Intaan dheryihiinnu qodxaha taaban, Ayuu kuwa qoyan iyo kuwa ololayaba ku kala firdhin doonaa dabayl cirwareen ah.

⁹Before your pots feel the thorns, green or burning, -- they shall be whirled away.

¹⁰Kan xaqa ahu wuu rayrayn doonaa markuu arko aargudashada, Oo wuxuu ku cago maydhan doonaa kan sharka leh dhiiggiisa.Sidaas daraaddeed dadku wuxuu odhan doonaa, Hubaal kii xaq ahu abaalgud buu leeyahay, Hubaal waxaa jira Ilaah dhulka xukuma.

¹⁰The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his footsteps in the blood of the wicked:

¹¹Sidaas daraaddeed dadku wuxuu odhan doonaa, Hubaal kii xaq ahu abaalgud buu leeyahay, Hubaal waxaa jira Ilaah dhulka xukuma.

¹¹And men shall say, Verily there is fruit for the righteous; verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.
