1 T o the Overseer with stringed instruments. -- An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.

Ilaahow, tukashadayda dhegta u dhig, Oo baryootankaygana ha iska qarin.

2 A ttend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my meditation, and make a noise,

I maqal, oo ii jawaab, Waxaan la nasan waayaa calaacalkayga, waanan la taahaa,

3 B ecause of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.

Sababtuna waxaa weeye codka cadowga daraaddiis, Iyo kan sharka leh cadaadintiisa daraaddeed, Waayo, iyagu xumaan bay igu tuuraan, Maxaa yeelay, cadho ayay igu silciyaan.

4 M y heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.

Wadnuhu aad buu ii xanuunayaa, Oo waxaa igu dhacday cabsida dhimashada.

5 F ear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me.

Baqdin iyo gariir ayaa igu soo degay, Oo naxdin baa i dabooshay.

6 A nd I say, `Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,

Oo anna waxaan is-idhi, Waxaan jeclaan lahaa inaan baalal yeesho sida qoolley oo kale! Markaasaan iska duuli lahaa oo nasan lahaa.

7 L o, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. Selah.

Bal eeg, markaasaan iska warwareegi lahaa meel fog, Oo waxaan degganaan lahaa cidlada. (Selaah)

8 I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.

Waxaan gabbaad kaga carari lahaa Dabaysha hufada ah iyo duufaanka.

9 S wallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.

Sayidow, iyaga baabbi'i, oo afafkoodana kala duw Waayo, waxaan magaalada ku arkay dulmi iyo dirir.

10 B y day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness in its midst,

Maalin iyo habeenba derbiyadeeday ku dul wareegaan, Oo weliba waxaa ku dhex jira xumaan iyo belaayo.

11 M ischiefs in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.

Dhexdeedana waxaa ku jira shar, Dulmi iyo khiyaanona kama tagaan jidadkeeda.

12 F or an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear, He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.

Waayo, kii i caayay cadaawe ma ahayn, Maxaa yeelay, waan u adkaysan kari lahaa, Mana ahayn kii i necbaa oo iska kay weyneeyey, Maxaa yeelay, waan ka dhuuman lahaa isaga,

13 B ut thou, a man -- as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.

Laakiinse wuxuu ahaa adiga oo ah nin ila mid ah, Iyo jaalkay iyo saaxiibkay.

14 W hen together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.

Si wanaagsan baynu u wada sheekaysan jirnay, Oo waxaynu ku dhex socon jirnay guriga Ilaah, innagoo guuto badan la soconna.

15 D esolations upon them, They go down Sheol -- alive, For wickedness in their dwelling, in their midst.

Dhimasho ha ku soo kediso iyaga, Oo iyagoo noolnool She'ool ha ku dhaceen, Waayo, xumaan baa ku jirta hoygooda iyo dhexdooda.

16 I -- to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.

Laakiinse anigu Ilaah baan baryi doonaa, Oo Rabbigaa i badbaadin doona.

17 E vening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,

Fiidka, iyo subaxda, iyo duhurkaba, anigu waan cataabi doonaa, oo waan taahi doonaa, Oo isna codkayguu maqli doonaa.

18 H e hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.

Naftayda nabadduu kaga samatabbixiyey dagaalkii iga geesta ahaa, Waayo, kuwii ila diriray way badnaayeen.

19 G od doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. Selah. Because they have no changes, and fear not God,

Ilaah oo ah kan weligiis waara, Wuu maqli doonaa oo u jawaabi doonaa iyaga, Kuwaas oo aan beddelmin, (Selaah) Oo aan Ilaah ka cabsan.

20 H e hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.

Isagu wuxuu u gacan qaaday kii isaga heshiiska la ahaa, Oo axdigiisiina wuu buriyey.

21 S weeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they drawn.

Afkiisu wuxuu u nuglaa sidii subag oo kale, Laakiinse qalbigiisu wuxuu ahaa dagaal, Erayadiisu saliid way ka jilicsanaayeen, Laakiinse waxay ahaayeen seefo galkii laga siibay.

22 C ast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.

Culaabtaada Rabbiga saar, oo isna wuu ku xanaanayn doonaa, Waayo, isagu kan xaqa ah marnaba u dayn maayo in la dhaqaajiyo.

23 A nd Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I -- I do trust in Thee!

Laakiinse, Ilaahow, iyaga waxaad ku dhaadhicin doontaa yamayska halligaadda, Dhiigyocabyada iyo dadka khaa'innada ahu cimrigooda nus ma kadban doonaan, Laakiinse anigu waan isku kaa hallayn doonaa.
