1 R abbiyow, maxaad meesha fog u istaagtay? Oo maxaad u dhuumataa markii dhibaato jirto?

Why do You stand afar off, O Lord? Why do You hide Yourself, in times of trouble (distress and desperation)?

2 K ii shar leh oo kibir badan ayaa miskiinka si kulul u eryada, Xeeladdii ay hindiseen iyaga ha la rogmato.

The wicked in pride and arrogance hotly pursue and persecute the poor; let them be taken in the schemes which they have devised.

3 W aayo, kii shar lahu wuxuu ku faanaa waxa qalbigiisu jecel yahay, Oo kii damaci ahuna Rabbiga wuu nacaa, wuuna quudhsadaa.

For the wicked man boasts (sings the praises) of his own heart’s desire, and the one greedy for gain curses and spurns, yes, renounces and despises the Lord.

4 K ii shar lahu isagoo wejigiisa kibir ka muuqdo wuxuu yidhaahdaa, Isagu waxba i weyddiisan maayo. Fikirradiisa oo dhammu waxaa weeye, Ilaah ma jiro.

The wicked one in the pride of his countenance will not seek, inquire for, and yearn for God; all his thoughts are that there is no God.

5 J idadkiisuu ku adag yahay had iyo goorba, Xukummadaaduna waa ka sarreeyaan isaga, waana ka fog yihiin, Oo cadaawayaashiisa oo dhanna wuu wada fudaydsadaa.

His ways are grievous at all times; Your judgments are far above and on high out of his sight; as for all his foes, he sniffs and sneers at them.

6 O o wuxuu isyidhaahdaa, Anigu weligay dhaqdhaqaaqi maayo, Oo tan iyo ka ab ka ab xumaanu i heli mayso.

He thinks in his heart, I shall not be moved; for throughout all generations I shall not come to want or be in adversity.

7 A fkiisa waxaa ka buuxa habaar iyo khiyaano iyo dulmi, Oo carrabkiisana waxaa ku hoos jira belaayo iyo xumaan.

His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, oppression (fraud); under his tongue are trouble and sin (mischief and iniquity).

8 I sagu wuxuu fadhiistaa tuulooyinka meelahooda lagu dhuunto, Oo kan aan xaqa qabinna wuxuu ku dilaa meelaha qarsoon, Oo indhihiisuna waxay si qarsoon hoos uga fiiriyaan miskiinka.

He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he slays the innocent; he watches stealthily for the poor (the helpless and unfortunate).

9 I sagu wuxuu ku dhuuntaa meel qarsoon sida libaax godkiisa ku jira, Oo wuxuu u gaadaa inuu miskiinka qabsado, Oo intuu miskiinka qabsado ayuu ku soo jiitaa shabaggiisa.

He lurks in secret places like a lion in his thicket; he lies in wait that he may seize the poor (the helpless and the unfortunate); he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.

10 W uu foororsadaa, oo hoos isu gaabiyaa, Oo masaakiinta waxaa ridda gacanta kuwiisa xoogga badan.

is crushed, sinks down; and the helpless falls by his mighty.

11 O o wuxuu isyidhaahdaa, Ilaah waa i illoobay, Oo wejigiisiina wuu qariyey, weligiisna ima arki doono.

thinks in his heart, God has quite forgotten; He has hidden His face; He will never see.

12 R abbiyow, Ilaahow, sara joogso, oo gacantaada kor u qaad, Oo masaakiinta ha illoobin.

Arise, O Lord! O God, lift up Your hand; forget not the humble.

13 B al kii shar lahu muxuu Ilaah u quudhsadaa? Oo muxuu qalbigiisa uga leeyahay, Adigu waxba i weyddiisan maysid?

Why does the wicked condemn (spurn and renounce) God? Why has he thought in his heart, You will not call to account?

14 W axaas baad aragtay, waayo, waad u jeeddaa belaayada iyo xanaaqa, inaad gacantaada ku aargudatid aawadeed, Miskiinku adiguu isu kaa dhiibaa, Waayo, adigu waxaad tahay agoonka kaalmeeyihiisa.

You have seen it; yes, You note trouble and grief (vexation) to requite it with Your hand. The unfortunate commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.

15 K ii shar leh gacantiisa jebi, Oo sharrowga xumaantiisana doondoon ilaa aad mid dambe weydid.

Break the arm of the wicked man; and as for the evil man, search out his wickedness until You find no more.

16 R abbigu waa boqor weligiis iyo weligiisba, Oo quruumaha oo dhammuna dalkiisa way ka wada baabba'aan.

The Lord is King forever and ever; the nations will perish out of His land.

17 R abbiyow, waad maqashay waxay kuwa is-hoosaysiiyaa doonayaan, Oo qalbigooda waad diyaarin doontaa, oo dhegtaadana waad u dhigi doontaa,

O Lord, You have heard the desire and the longing of the humble and oppressed; You will prepare and strengthen and direct their hearts, You will cause Your ear to hear,

18 S i aad gartooda u naqdid agoonta iyo kuwa la dulmay, Si aan dadka dunidu mar dambe u noqon kuwo laga cabsado.

To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man, who is of the earth, may not terrify them any more.
