Psalms 143
1 A Psalm of David, when his son pursued him. O Lord, attend to my prayer: hearken to my supplication in thy truth; hear me in thy righteousness.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, kadhannaa koo naa dhagaʼi; gurra kees gara waammata kootiitti deebisi; amanamummaa fi qajeelummaa keetiin, na gargaari.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant, for in thy sight shall no [man] living be justified.
Ati garbicha kee murtiitti hin dhiʼeessin; namni lubbuun jiraatu kam iyyuu fuula kee duratti qajeelaa mitiitii.
3 For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.
Diinni lubbuu koo ariʼachaa jiraatii; jireenya koos butuchee biyyootti make. Akkuma warra dur duʼaniittis dukkana keessa na jiraachiseera.
4 Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me.
Kanaafuu hafuurri koo na keessatti gaggabeera; onneen koos na keessatti rifatteerti.
5 I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all thy doings: [yea], I meditated on the works of thine hands.
Ani guyyoota durii nan yaadadha; waan ati hojjette hundas irra deddeebiʼee nan yaada; waan harki kee hojjete illee nan heda.
6 I spread forth my hands to thee; my soul [thirsts] for thee, as a dry land. (Pause)
Harka koo gara keetti nan diriirfadha; lubbuun koos akkuma lafa gogaa si dheebotti.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away thy face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to the pit.
Yaa Waaqayyo, dafii deebii naa kenni; hafuurri koo dadhabeera. Fuula kee na duraa hin dhoksin yookaan ani akka warra boolla buʼanii nan taʼa.
8 Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in thee; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein I should walk; for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
Ani waanan si amanadheef, akka ani ganama ganama oduu jaalala keetii dhagaʼu godhi. Ani lubbuu koo gara keetti ol nan kaasaatii, karaa ani irra deemuu qabu natti argisiisi.
9 Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to thee for refuge.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani akka ati na dhoksituuf sitti nan baqadhaatii, diinota koo jalaa na baasi.
10 Teach me to do thy will; for thou art my God; thy good Spirit shall guide me in the straight [way].
Ati sababii Waaqa koo taateef, akka ani fedhii kee guutu na barsiisi; hafuurri kee gaariin sun karaa wal qixxee irra na haa qajeelchu.
11 Thou shalt quicken me, O Lord, for thy name's sake; in thy righteousness thou shalt bring my soul out of affliction.
Yaa Waaqayyo, maqaa keetii jedhiitii lubbuu koo jiraachisi; qajeelummaa keetiinis rakkina keessaa na baasi.
12 And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy mine enemies, and wilt destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am thy servant.
Ati sababii na jaallattuuf diinota koo fixi; waan ani garbicha kee taʼeef, warra na cunqursan hunda barbadeessi.
