Psalms 18
1 For the choirmaster. Of David the servant of the LORD, who sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul. He said: I love You, O LORD, my strength.
Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit garbicha Waaqayyoo; innis yommuu Waaqayyo harka diinota isaa hundaa fi harka Saaʼol jalaa isa baasetti dubbii faarfannaa kana Waaqayyoof faarfate. Innis akkana jedhe: Yaa Waaqayyo jabina ko, ani sin jaalladha.
2 The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer. My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
Waaqayyo kattaa koo, daʼannoo kootii fi oolchaa koo ti; Waaqni koo kattaa koo kan ani kooluu itti galuu dha; inni gaachana kootii fi gaanfa fayyina koo ti; daʼannoo koo cimaa dha.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
4 The cords of death encompassed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
Funyoon duʼaa na xaxe; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
Funyoon siiʼool natti marame; kiyyoon duʼaas natti dhufe. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for His help reached His ears.
Ani dhiphina koo keessatti Waaqayyoon nan waammadhe; gargaarsaafis Waaqa kootti nan iyyadhe. Innis mana qulqullummaa isaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼe; iyyi koos gurra isaa seene.
7 Then the earth shook and quaked, and the foundations of the mountains trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan tulluuwwaniis ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
8 Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
Aarri funyaan isaatii ol baʼe; ibiddi waa barbadeessu afaan isaatii baʼe; cileen bobaʼus afaan isaatii baʼe.
9 He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
10 He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
Inni kiirubeelin yaabbatee barrise; qoochoo qilleensaatiinis ol baʼe.
11 He made darkness His hiding place, and storm clouds a canopy around Him.
Inni dukkana haguuggii isaa, duumessa samii kan bokkaadhaan dukkanaaʼe immoo godoo isaa godhate.
12 From the brightness of His presence His clouds advanced— hailstones and coals of fire.
Ifa fuula isaa keessaas duumessi dhagaa cabbiitii fi bakakkaadhaan tarsaasee baʼe.
13 The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded— hailstones and coals of fire.
Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
14 He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
15 The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed, at Your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of Your nostrils.
Yaa Waaqayyo, dheekkamsa keetiin, humna hafuura funyaan keetii baʼuutiinis, sululawwan galaanaa ifatti baafaman; hundeewwan lafaas qullaa hafan.
16 He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
17 He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
Inni diina koo isa jabaa jalaa, amajaajota koo warra akka malee natti ciman jalaas na baase.
18 They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
19 He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
20 The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelummaa kootiitti naa kenneera; akkuma qulqullina harka koottis na badhaase.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Ani karaa Waaqayyoo eegeeraatii; Waaqa koo irraa garagalee hammina hin hojjenne.
22 For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
Seerri isaa hundinuu fuula koo dura jira; anis labsii isaa irraa hin gorre.
23 And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
24 So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight.
Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma harki koo fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
25 To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata.
26 to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
Nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
27 For You save an afflicted people, but You humble those with haughty eyes.
Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; ija of tuulu garuu gad deebifta.
28 For You, O LORD, light my lamp; my God lights up my darkness.
Yaa Waaqayyo ati ibsaa koo jabeessitee ni ibsita; Waaqni koo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
29 For in You I can charge an army, and with my God I can scale a wall.
Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
30 As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
Waaqa kana karaan isaa mudaa hin qabu; dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu; warra isatti kooluu galan hundaaf Waaqayyo gaachana taʼa.
31 For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees kattaan eenyu?
32 It is God who arms me with strength and makes my way clear.
Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
33 He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
34 He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
35 You have given me Your shield of salvation; Your right hand upholds me, and Your gentleness exalts me.
Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; harki kee mirgaa ol na qabeera; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
36 You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
37 I pursued my enemies and overtook them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan qaqqabadhe; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
38 I crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
Ani akka isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandeenyeef isaan nan barbadeesse; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
39 You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
40 You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
41 They cried for help, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
Isaan gargaarsaaf iyyan; garuu kan isaan oolchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; gara Waaqayyoottis ni iyyatan; inni garuu deebii hin kennineef.
42 I ground them as dust in the face of the wind; I trampled them like mud in the streets.
Anis akkuma awwaara bubbeen fudhatuutti isaan nan daake; akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan nan dhidhiite.
43 You have delivered me from the strife of the people; You have made me the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa na gooteerta; sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila.
44 When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.
Namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
45 Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
46 The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may the God of my salvation be exalted—
Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
47 the God who avenges me and subdues nations beneath me,
Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jalatti bulchuu dha;
48 who delivers me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
diinota koo jalaas na baasa. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
49 Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
50 Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.
Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, jaalala bara baraa ni argisiisa.
