Psalms 13

1 For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma yoomiitti? Ati hamma bara baraatti na irraanfattaa? Hamma yoomiittis fuula kee na duraa dhoksita?

2 How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

Ani hamma yoomiittin rakkina obsee guyyaa guutuu garaa koo keessatti gadda? Hamma yoomiitti diinni koo narra aana?

3 Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, na ilaali; deebii illee naa kenni. Akka ani hirriba duʼaa hin rafneefis ija kootiif ifa kenni;

4 lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

diinni koo, “Ani isa moʼadheera” jedha; amajaajiiwwan koos kufaatii kootti gammadu.

5 But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

Ani garuu araara kee nan amanadha; garaan koos fayyisuu keetti ni gammada.

6 I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.

Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.
