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

¹{An instruction. Of Asaph.} Give ear, O my people, to my law; incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

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

²I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter riddles from of old,

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

³Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us:

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

⁴We will not hide [them] from their sons, shewing forth to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, and his strength, and his marvellous works which he hath done.

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,

⁵For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children;

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

⁶That the generation to come might know [them], the children that should be born; that they might rise up and tell [them] to their children,

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

⁷And that they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of ùGod, but observe his commandments;

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.

⁸And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that prepared not their heart, and whose spirit was not stedfast with ùGod.

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

⁹The sons of Ephraim, armed bowmen, turned back in the day of battle.

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

¹⁰They kept not the covenant of God, and refused to walk in his law;

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

¹¹And forgot his doings, and his marvellous works which he had shewn them.

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

¹²In the sight of their fathers had he done wonders, in the land of Egypt, the field of Zoan.

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

¹³He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; and made the waters to stand as a heap;

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

¹⁴And he led them with a cloud in the daytime, and all the night with the light of fire.

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

¹⁵He clave rocks in the wilderness, and gave [them] drink as out of the depths, abundantly;

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

¹⁶And he brought streams out of the rock, and caused waters to run down like rivers.

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

¹⁷Yet they still went on sinning against him, provoking the Most High in the desert;

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

¹⁸And they tempted ùGod in their heart, by asking meat for their lust;

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

¹⁹And they spoke against God: they said, Is ùGod able to prepare a table in the wilderness?

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?

²⁰Behold, he smote the rock, and waters gushed out, and streams overflowed; is he able to give bread also, or provide flesh for his people?

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

²¹Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; and fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also went up against Israel:

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

²²Because they believed not in God, and confided not in his salvation;

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

²³Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of the heavens,

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

²⁴And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the corn of the heavens.

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

²⁵Man did eat the bread of the mighty; he sent them provision to the full.

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

²⁶He caused the east wind to rise in the heavens, and by his strength he brought the south wind;

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

²⁷And he rained flesh upon them as dust, and feathered fowl as the sand of the seas,

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

²⁸And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, round about their habitations:

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

²⁹And they did eat, and were well filled; for that they lusted after, he brought to them.

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

³⁰They were not alienated from their lust, their meat was yet in their mouths,

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.

³¹When the anger of God went up against them; and he slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Israel.

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

³²For all this, they sinned still, and believed not in his marvellous works;

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

³³And he consumed their days in vanity, and their years in terror.

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

³⁴When he slew them, then they sought him, and returned and sought early after ùGod;

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

³⁵And they remembered that God was their rock, and ùGod, the Most High, their redeemer.

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

³⁶But they flattered him with their mouth, and lied unto him with their tongue;

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

³⁷For their heart was not firm toward him, neither were they stedfast in his covenant.

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.

³⁸But he was merciful: he forgave the iniquity, and destroyed [them] not; but many a time turned he his anger away, and did not stir up all his fury:

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

³⁹And he remembered that they were flesh, a breath that passeth away and cometh not again.

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

⁴⁰How oft did they provoke him in the wilderness, and grieve him in the desert!

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

⁴¹And they turned again and tempted ùGod, and grieved the Holy One of Israel.

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

⁴²They remembered not his hand, the day when he delivered them from the oppressor,

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

⁴³How he set his signs in Egypt, and his miracles in the field of Zoan;

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

⁴⁴And turned their rivers into blood, and their streams, that they could not drink;

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

⁴⁵He sent dog-flies among them, which devoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them;

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

⁴⁶And he gave their increase unto the caterpillar, and their labour unto the locust;

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

⁴⁷He killed their vines with hail, and their sycamore trees with hail-stones;

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

⁴⁸And he delivered up their cattle to the hail, and their flocks to thunderbolts.

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

⁴⁹He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, wrath, and indignation, and distress, -- a mission of angels of woes.

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

⁵⁰He made a way for his anger; he spared not their soul from death, but gave their life over to the pestilence;

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

⁵¹And he smote all the firstborn in Egypt, the first-fruits of their vigour in the tents of Ham.

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

⁵²And he made his own people to go forth like sheep, and guided them in the wilderness like a flock;

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

⁵³And he led them safely, so that they were without fear; and the sea covered their enemies.

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

⁵⁴And he brought them to his holy border, this mountain, which his right hand purchased;

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

⁵⁵And he drove out the nations before them, and allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

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

⁵⁶But they tempted and provoked God, the Most High, and kept not his testimonies,

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

⁵⁷And they drew back and dealt treacherously like their fathers: they turned like a deceitful bow.

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

⁵⁸And they provoked him to anger with their high places, and moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

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

⁵⁹God heard, and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel:

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

⁶⁰And he forsook the tabernacle at Shiloh, the tent where he had dwelt among men,

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

⁶¹And gave his strength into captivity, and his glory into the hand of the oppressor;

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

⁶²And delivered up his people unto the sword, and was very wroth with his inheritance:

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

⁶³The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not praised in [nuptial] song;

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

⁶⁴Their priests fell by the sword, and their widows made no lamentation.

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

⁶⁵Then the Lord awoke as one out of sleep, like a mighty man that shouteth aloud by reason of wine;

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

⁶⁶And he smote his adversaries in the hinder part, and put them to everlasting reproach.

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

⁶⁷And he rejected the tent of Joseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim,

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

⁶⁸But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion which he loved;

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

⁶⁹And he built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth which he hath founded for ever.

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

⁷⁰And he chose David his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

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.

⁷¹From following the suckling-ewes, he brought him to feed Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

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

⁷²And he fed them according to the integrity of his heart, and led them by the skilfulness of his hands.
