1 O o maalintaas dalka Yahuudah waxaa lagaga gabyi doonaa gabaygan, Annagu magaalo xoog badan baannu leennahay, oo Rabbigu wuxuu derbiyo iyo qalcado nooga dhigi doonaa badbaado.

In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city. The Lord saves us and puts up walls to keep us safe.

2 I rdaha fura, quruunta xaqa ah oo runta xajisa ha soo gashee.

Open the gates, that the nation that is right with God may come in, the one that keeps faithful.

3 Q ofkii maankiisu isku kaa halleeyo nabad dhan baad ku dhawri doontaa, maxaa yeelay, adiguu ku aaminsan yahay.

You will keep the man in perfect peace whose mind is kept on You, because he trusts in You.

4 R abbiga weligiinba aamina, waayo, Rabbiga Ilaaha ahu waa dhagax daa'im ah.

Trust in the Lord forever. For the Lord God is a Rock that lasts forever.

5 M axaa yeelay, isagaa hoos u soo dejiyey kuwii meelaha sare degganaa, oo magaaladii sarajoogga dheeraydna wuu hoosaysiiyey, oo wuxuu hoos ugu soo dejiyaa tan iyo dhulka, oo ciidduu ku soo xooraa.

For He has brought down low those who live on a high place, the high city. He lays it low. He lays it low to the ground. He throws it to the dust.

6 O o cagahaa ku tuman doona, waana cagaha masaakiinta iyo tallaabooyinka saboolka baahan.

It will be crushed under foot, under the feet of those who have suffered and the steps of those who cannot help themselves.”

7 K an xaqa ah jidkiisu waa qumman yahay oo adigoo qumman ayaa wadiiqada kan xaqa ah toosiya.

The way of the man who is right with God is smooth. O Upright One, make the path straight of those who are right with You.

8 R abbiyow, annagu waxaannu kugu sugaynay jidka xukummadaada. Oo naftayaduna waxay xiiso u qabtaa magacaaga iyo xusuustaada.

While following in Your ways, O Lord, we have waited for You. To remember You and Your name is the desire of our souls.

9 H abeenka naftaydu adigay kuu xiisootay, oo ruuxa gudahayga ku jira ayaan aad kuugu doondooni doonaa, waayo, markii xukummadaadu ay dhulka joogaan ayaa dadka dunida degganu xaqnimo bartaan.

My soul has a desire for You in the night. Yes, my spirit within me looks for You in the morning. For when you punish the earth, the people of the world learn what is right and good.

10 K an sharka ah haddii raalli laga noqdo isagu innaba xaqnimo ma barto, oo dalka qummanaanta ayuu caddaaladdarro ku samayn doonaa, oo haybadda Rabbigana ma uu fiirin doono.

When favor is shown to the sinful, he does not learn what is right and good. He goes on doing what is wrong in the land of those who are right. He does not see the wonderful power of the Lord.

11 R abbiyow, gacantaadu kor bay u taagan tahay, laakiinse iyagu ma ay arkaan illowse waxay arki doonaan dadaalkaaga aad dadka u dadaashid, wayna ceeboobi doonaan, oo cadaawayaashaadana dab baa baabbi'in doona.

O Lord, Your hand is lifted up but they do not see it. Let them see Your care for Your people and be ashamed. Let fire destroy those who hate You.

12 R abbiyow, nabad baad na siin doontaa, oo weliba shuqulladayadii oo dhan baad noo wada samaysay.

O Lord, You will give us peace, for You have done all our works for us.

13 R abbiyow, Ilaahayagow, sayidyo kale oo aan adiga ahayn ayaa noo talin jiray, laakiinse adiga keliya ayaannu xusuusannaa oo magacaaga soo qaadnaa.

O Lord our God, other lords than You have ruled us, but Your name alone is the One we honor.

14 I yagu way dhinteen, soona noolaan maayaan, way baabbe'een, soona sarakici maayaan, oo sidaas daraaddeed waad soo booqatay oo baabbi'isay, oo xusuustoodii oo dhanna waad tirtirtay.

They are dead, and will not live. Their spirits will not return. So You have punished and destroyed them. You have caused them all to be forgotten.

15 Q uruunta waad kordhisay, Rabbiyow, quruunta waad kordhisay, oo adiga waa lagu ammaanay, oo dalka soohdimihiisii oo dhanna waad wada ballaadhisay.

You have made the nation great, O Lord. You have made the nation great. You have received much praise. You have made the land larger.

16 R abbiyow, markay dhibaataysnaayeen way ku doondooneen, oo markaad edbinaysayna aad bay kuu baryeen.

O Lord, they looked for You in their trouble. They could only say a quiet prayer while You were punishing them.

17 R abbiyow, naag uur leh oo ku soo dhowaatay shinkii ay dhali lahayd, siday u xanuunsato oo ay foosheeda ugu qayliso ayaannu hortaada ku noqonnay.

As the woman who is going to have a baby comes close to the time to give birth, she suffers and cries out in her pains. This is how we were before You, O Lord.

18 A nnagu waannu uuraysannay, oo xanuunkii foosha ayaa na qabtay, oo waxaannu noqonnay sidii wax dabayl dhalay, oo dhulkana samatabbixin kuma aannu samayn, oo dadka dunida degganuna ma ay dhalan.

We suffered in pain. We gave birth, as it were, only to wind. We could not bring the world out of its trouble. And no people of the earth were born.

19 K uwaagii dhintay way soo noolaan doonaan, meydadkuna way soo sara kici doonaan. Kuwiinna ciidda ku dhex jirow, soo toosa oo gabya! Rabbiyow, dharabkaagu waa sida dharabka geedaha nooleeya, oo dhulkuna meydadkuu soo xoori doonaa.

Your dead will live. Their dead bodies will rise. You who lie in the dust, wake up and call out for joy. For as the water on the grass in the morning brings new life, the earth will bring back to life those who have been dead. Punishment of Sinners

20 D adkaygow, kaalaya, qolladihiinna gala, oo albaabbadiinna soo xidha, oo wakhti yar dhuunta, intay cadhadu gudbayso.

Come, my people, go into your rooms. Close your doors behind you. Hide for a little while until God’s anger is past.

21 W aayo, bal eega, Rabbigu wuxuu meeshiisa uga soo kacayaa inuu dadka dhulka deggan xumaantooda u ciqaabo. Dhulkuna wuxuu daaha ka qaadi doonaa dhiiggiisa, oo kuwa la laayayna mar dambe ma dabooli doono.

For see, the Lord is about to come out from His place to punish the people of the earth for their sin. And the earth will let the blood be seen that has poured on her. She will no longer cover her dead.
