1 N inka xoogga badanow, bal maxaad xumaanta ugu faanaysaa? Naxariista Ilaah had iyo goorba way sii waartaa.

¶ Why dost thou boast of evil, O strong man? The mercy of God is day by day.

2 C arrabkaagu wuxuu hindisaa xumaato weyn, Oo sida mandiil afaysan ayuu ka shaqeeyaa khiyaano.

Thy tongue devises wickedness like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

3 W anaagga waxaad ka jeceshahay xumaanta, Oo inaad xaqnimo ku hadashidna waxaad ka jeceshahay beensheegidda. (Selaah)

Thou dost love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.

4 W axaad jeceshahay erayada wax baabbi'iya oo dhan, Iyo carrab khiyaano miidhan ah.

Thou dost love all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue.

5 I laahna sidaas oo kaluu kuu halligi doonaa weligaaba, Oo isna kor buu kuu qaadi doonaa, oo wuxuu kaa bixin doonaa teendhadaada, Oo wuxuu kaa saari doonaa kuwa nool dalkooda. (Selaah)

God shall likewise cast thee down for ever; he shall cut thee off and pluck thee out of thy dwelling place and root thee out of the land of the living. Selah.

6 K uwa xaqa ahuna way arki doonaan, oo way cabsan doonaan, Wayna ku qosli doonaan, oo waxay odhan doonaan,

¶ The righteous also shall see and fear and shall laugh at him, saying:

7 W aa kan ninkii aan Ilaah xooggiisa ka dhiganu, Laakiinse wuxuu isku halleeyey hodantinimadiisa badan, Oo wuxuu ku xoogaystay xumaatadiisii.

Behold, this is the man that did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

8 L aakiinse anigu waxaan la mid ahay sida geed qoyan oo saytuun ah, oo guriga Ilaah ku dhex yaal, Anigu weligay iyo weligayba waxaan isku hallaynayaa naxariista Ilaah.

But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God; I trust in the eternal mercy of God for ever.

9 W eligayba waan kugu mahadnaqayaa, maxaa yeelay, adigu waad samaysay, Oo magacaaga ayaan wax ku rajaynayaa, waayo, wuu ku wanaagsan yahay quduusiintaada hortooda.

I will praise thee for ever because thou hast done it, and I will wait on thy name, for it is good before thy merciful ones.
