Psalms 35
1 Of David. Contend with my opponents, O LORD; fight against those who fight against me.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, warra anaan mormaniin mormi; warra na lolanis loli.
2 Take up Your shield and buckler; arise and come to my aid.
Gaachanaa fi miʼa lolaa qabadhu; na gargaaruudhaafis kaʼi.
3 Draw the spear and javelin against my pursuers; say to my soul: “I am your salvation.”
Warra na ariʼanitti eeboo fi bodee luqqifadhu. Lubbuu kootiinis, “Fayyinni kee ana” jedhi.
4 May those who seek my life be disgraced and put to shame; may those who plan to harm me be driven back and confounded.
Warri lubbuu koo barbaadan, haa qaanaʼan; haa salphatanis; warri na balleessuuf mariʼatanis, abdii kutatanii duubatti haa deebiʼan.
5 May they be like chaff in the wind, as the angel of the LORD drives them away.
Akka habaqii qilleensaan fudhatamee haa taʼan; ergamaan Waaqayyoos isaan haa ariʼu.
6 May their path be dark and slick, as the angel of the LORD pursues.
Karaan isaanii dukkanaaʼaa fi mucucaataa haa taʼu; ergamaan Waaqayyoos isaan haa ariʼu.
7 For without cause they laid their net for me; without reason they dug a pit for my soul.
Isaan sababii malee kiyyoo isaanii dhoksanii na dura kaaʼaniiruutii; sababii malees boolla naa qotaniiru;
8 May ruin befall them by surprise; may the net they hid ensnare them; may they fall into the hazard they created.
utuu inni hin beekin badiisni isatti haa dhufu; kiyyoon inni dhokse sunis isuma haa qabu; boolluma qote sanattis haa kufu.
9 Then my soul will rejoice in the LORD and exult in His salvation.
Yoos lubbuun ko, Waaqayyotti gammaddi; fayyisuu isaattis ni ililchiti.
10 All my bones will exclaim, “Who is like You, O LORD, who delivers the afflicted from the aggressor, the poor and needy from the robber?”
Lafeen koo hundi akkana siin jedha: “Yaa Waaqayyo, kan akka keetii eenyu? Ati dadhabdoota warra isaan caalaa jabaatan jalaa baafta; hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota illee saamtota jalaa baafta.”
11 Hostile witnesses come forward; they make charges I know nothing about.
Dhuga baatonni sobaa natti kaʼan; waan ani waaʼee isaa hin beeknes na gaafatu.
12 They repay me evil for good, to the bereavement of my soul.
Isaan qooda waan gaarii waan hamaa naa deebisu; lubbuu koos kophaatti hambisu.
13 Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.
Ani garuu yeroo isaan dhibamanitti, wayyaa gaddaa nan uffadhe; lubbuu koos soomaan nan miidhe. Yeroo kadhannaan koo deebii malee hafettis
14 I paced about as for my friend or brother; I was bowed down with grief, like one mourning for his mother.
ani akkuma waan michuu kootiif yookaan obboleessa kootiif gadduutti, gaddaan asii fi achi deddeebiʼe. Akkuma waan haadha kootiif booʼuuttis, gaddaan mataa koo nan buuse.
15 But when I stumbled, they assembled in glee; they gathered together against me. Assailants I did not know slandered me without ceasing.
Isaan garuu yeroo ani gufadhetti gammadanii walitti qabaman; utuu ani hin beekin na marsan; utuu wal irraa hin kutinis na cicciratan.
16 Like godless jesters at a feast, they gnashed their teeth at me.
Isaan akkuma warra Waaqatti hin bulleetti hamminaan natti qoosan; ilkaan isaanii illee natti qaratan.
17 How long, O Lord, will You look on? Rescue my soul from their ravages, my precious life from these lions.
Yaa Gooftaa, ati hamma yoomiitti calʼistee ilaalta? Lubbuu koo badiisa isaan fidan jalaa, jireenya koos leenca jalaa baasi.
18 Then I will give You thanks in the great assembly; I will praise You among many people.
Ani wal gaʼii guddaa keessatti sin galateeffadha; tuuta guddaa keessatti sin jajadha.
19 Let not my enemies gloat over me without cause, nor those who hate me without reason wink in malice.
Warri akkasumaan diina natti taʼan natti hin gammadin; warri sababii malee na jibban sunis ija natti hin qisin.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful schemes against those who live quietly in the land.
Isaan nagaa hin dubbatan; warra qabbanaan biyya keessa jiraatanittis, mala sobaa malatu.
21 They gape at me and say, “Aha, aha! Our eyes have seen!”
Isaanis, “Baga! Baga! Ijuma keenyaan isa argine” jedhanii afaan natti banatu.
22 O LORD, You have seen it; be not silent. O Lord, be not far from me.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati waan kana argiteerta; hin calʼisin. Yaa gooftaa, narraa hin fagaatin.
23 Awake and rise to my defense, to my cause, my God and my Lord!
Yaa Waaqa koo fi Gooftaa ko, ati mirga kootiif, dhimma kootiifis dammaqi; kaʼi!
24 Vindicate me by Your righteousness, O LORD my God, and do not let them gloat over me.
Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, akkuma qajeelummaa keetiitti naa murteessi; akka isaan natti gammadanis hin godhin.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, “Aha, just what we wanted!” Let them not say, “We have swallowed him up!”
Akka isaan, “Baga! Akkuma nu barbaanne taʼeera!” jedhan, yookaan akka isaan, “Nu isa liqimsineerra” jedhan hin godhin.
26 May those who gloat in my distress be ashamed and confounded; may those who exalt themselves over me be clothed in shame and reproach.
Warri dhiphina kootti gammadan hundinuu haa qaanaʼan; haa burjaajaʼanis; warri natti kooran hundinuus, qaanii fi salphina haa uffatan.
27 May those who favor my vindication shout for joy and gladness; may they always say, “Exalted be the LORD who delights in His servant’s well-being.”
Warri qajeelumma koo jaallatan, sagalee guddaadhaan haa ililchan; haa gammadanis. Isaan yeroo hunda, “Waaqayyo inni nagaa garbicha isaatti gammadu guddaa dha” haa jedhan.
28 Then my tongue will proclaim Your righteousness and Your praises all day long.
Arrabni koo qajeelummaa kee, guyyaa guutuus galata kee odeessa.
