Psalms 55
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Miʼa ribuutiin. Maskiilii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi; waammata koo jalaas hin didin.
2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
Na dhagaʼiitii deebii naa kenni; komiin koo na dhiphisa; anis nagaa dhabeera.
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
Sagalee diinaatiin, cunqursa namoota hamoos dhufe; isaan dhiphina natti fiduutii; aariidhaanis na jibbu.
4 My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
Lapheen koo na keessatti dhiphatte; sodaan duʼaas na qabate.
5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Sodaa fi hollannaan natti dhufeera; naasuunis na fudhateera.
6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
Anis akkana nan jedhe; “Utuu ani akkuma gugee qoochoo qabaadhee! Silaa asii barrisee nan boqodhan ture.
7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
Silaa fagootti baqadhee gammoojjii keessa nan bubbula ture;
8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
silaa bubbee hamaa fi qilleensa jabaa irraa fagaadhee gara iddoo boqonnaa kootti nan ariifadhan ture.”
9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
Yaa Gooftaa, namoota hamoo burjaajessi; dubbii isaaniis waliin dhaʼi; ani magaalaa keessatti goolii fi lola argeeraatii.
10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
Isaan halkanii guyyaa ol baʼanii dallaa ishee irra naannaʼu; jalʼinnii fi rakkinni ishee keessa jira.
11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
Ishee keessa badiisatu jira; nama cunqursuu fi gowwoomsuun daandii ishee irraa hin dhabamu.
12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
Utuu diinni na arrabsee, silaa obsuu nan dandaʼa ture; utuu amajaajiin natti kaʼee, silaa jalaa dhokachuu nan dandaʼa ture.
13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
Garuu siʼi namuma akka kootii, hiriyaa koo, michuu koo kan natti dhiʼaatutu waan kana godhe.
14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
Tokkummaadhaan mana Waaqaa walii wajjin deemne; haasaa miʼaawaas walii wajjin haasofne.
15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. (Sheol h7585)
Duuti tasa isaanitti haa dhufu; utuma lubbuudhaan jiranuu siiʼool keessa haa buʼan; hamminni mana isaaniitii fi garaa isaanii keessa jiraattii. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
Ani garuu Waaqa nan waammadha; Waaqayyos jalaa na baasa.
17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
Ani galgala, ganamaa fi waareetti dhiphinaan nan iyya; innis sagalee koo ni dhagaʼa.
18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
Yoo namni baayʼeen anaan morme illee, inni waraana natti kaʼe jalaa miidhaa malee na baasa.
19 God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
Waaqni inni durumaa jalqabee teessoo irra jiru sun, Namoota karaa isaanii hin geeddaranne, kanneen Waaqa hin sodaanne ni dhagaʼa; isaan qaanessas.
20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
Hiriyaan koo michoota isaatti harka isaa ol fudhate; kakuu isaa illee ni cabse.
21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
Dubbiin isaa akkuma dhadhaa ti; nama hin quuqu; garaa isaa keessa garuu lolatu jira; dubbiin isaa zayitii caalaa lallaafa; garuu goraadee luqqifamee dha.
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
Yaaddoo kee Waaqayyotti kennadhu; inni si jiraachisa; namni qajeelaan akka jeqamus hin godhu.
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu namoota hamoo boolla badiisaa keessa ni buufta; warri dhiiga dhangalaasanii fi gowwoomsitoonni, walakkaa bara jireenya isaanii iyyuu hin jiraatan. Ani garuu sin amanadha.
