Psalms 43

1 Vindicate me, God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation. Oh, deliver me from deceitful and wicked men.

Yaa Waaqi, naa murteessi; saba hin amanametti dubbii koo naa falmi; gowwoomsitootaa fi jalʼoota jalaas na baasi.

2 For you are the God of my strength. Why have you rejected me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

Ati Waaqa jabina kootii ti. Maaliif na gatte? Ani maaliifin diinaan cunqurfamee gaddaan jiraadha?

3 Oh, send out your light and your truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to your holy hill, to your tents.

Ifa keetii fi dhugaa kee ergi; isaan na haa qajeelchan; gara tulluu kee qulqulluutti, gara iddoo ati jiraattu sanaatti ana haa fiddan.

4 Then I will go to the altar of God, to God, my exceeding joy. I will praise you on the harp, God, my God.

Yoos ani gara iddoo aarsaa Waaqaa, gara Waaqa gammachuu fi ilillee koo nan dhaqa. Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa ko, ani baganaadhaan sin galateeffadha.

5 Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God.

Yaa lubbuu ko, ati maaliif gaddita? Na keessattis maaliif raafamta? Abdii kee Waaqa irra kaaʼadhu; ani amma iyyuu isa nan galateeffadha; Fayyisaa koo fi Waaqa koo nan jajadha.
