1Yahweh, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine forth.
1Rabbiyow, Ilaaha aargudashada lahow, Ilaaha aargudashada lahow, soo iftiin.
2Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve.
2Xaakinka dunidow, sara joogso, Oo kuwa kibray abaalkooda mari.
3Yahweh, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph?
3Rabbiyow, kuwa sharka lahu ilaa goormay, Kuwa sharka lahu ilaa goormay guulaysanayaan?
4They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast.
4Way bulxamaan, oo kibir bay ku hadlaan, Oo xumaanfalayaasha oo dhammu way faanaan.
5They break your people in pieces, Yahweh, and afflict your heritage.
5Rabbiyow, iyagu waxay burburiyaan dadkaaga, Oo dhaxalkaagay silciyaan.
6They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless.
6Carmalka iyo shisheeyaha ayay laayaan, Oo agoontay nafta ka qaadaan.
7They say, “Yah will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.”
7Oo waxay isyidhaahdaan, Waxan Rabbigu ma arki doono, Oo Ilaaha reer Yacquubna kama fikiri doono.
8Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?
8Kuwiinna doqonnada ah oo dadka ku dhex jirow, fiirsada, Oo kuwiinna nacasyada ahow, goormaad caqli yeelanaysaan?
9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see?
9Kii dhegta abuuray, sow wax maqli maayo? Kii isha sameeyeyna, sow wax arki maayo?
10He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows.
10Kan quruumaha edbiyaa, sow wax hagaajin maayo? Kaasoo ah kan dadka aqoonta bara?
11Yahweh knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile.
11Rabbigu waa og yahay fikirrada binu-aadmigu Inay micnela'aan yihiin.
12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, Yah, and teach out of your law;
12Rabbiyow, waxaa barakaysan ninkii aad edbiso, Oo aad sharcigaaga wax ka barto,
13that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked.
13Si aad uga nasiso maalmaha belaayada Inta kan sharka lahaa godka loo qodayo.
14For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
14Waayo, Rabbigu dadkiisa xoori maayo, Oo dhaxalkiisana dayrin maayo.
15For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
15Waayo, garsooriddu waxay ku soo noqon doontaa xaqnimada, Oo inta qalbigoodu qumman yahay oo dhammuna way raaci doonaan.
16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers?
16Bal yaa ii kacaya oo sharfalayaasha iga hor joogsanaya? Oo yaa ii soo istaagaya oo xumaanfalayaasha iga celinaya?
17Unless Yahweh had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence.
17Rabbigu haddaanu i caawin, Hadda naftaydu waxay joogi lahayd meesha aamusnaanta.
18When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, Yahweh, held me up.
18Markaan idhi, Rabbiyow, cagtaydu waa simbiriirixanaysaa, Waxaa kor ii qaadday naxariistaada.
19In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
19Kolkay fikirro badan igu dhex jiraan Waxaa naftayda ka farxiya qalbiqaboojintaada.
20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?
20Carshiga sharnimadu ma xidhiidh buu kula yeelanayaa, Kaasoo belaayo qaynuun ku qabanqaabiya?
21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
21Waxay dhammaantood isu soo wada urursadaan kan xaqa ah naftiisa, Oo waxay xukumaan dhiig aan eed lahayn.
22But Yahweh has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge.
22Laakiinse Rabbigu waxa weeye munaaraddayda, Ilaahayna waa dhagaxii magangalkayga.Oo wuxuu dushooda ku soo celiyey xumaatadoodii, Oo wuxuu iyaga ku dhex baabbi'in doonaa sharnimadooda, Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa.
23He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. Yahweh, our God, will cut them off.
23Oo wuxuu dushooda ku soo celiyey xumaatadoodii, Oo wuxuu iyaga ku dhex baabbi'in doonaa sharnimadooda, Rabbiga Ilaaheenna ahu wuu wada baabbi'in doonaa.
