Psalms 41

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an evil day.

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Namni hiyyeessaaf yaadu eebbifamaa dha; guyyaa rakkinaatti Waaqayyo isa ni oolcha.

2 May the Lord preserve him and keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.

Waaqayyo isa ni eega; bara jireenya isaas ni dheeressa; lafa irratti isa eebbisa; hawwii diinota isaattis dabarsee isa hin kennu.

3 May the Lord help him upon the bed of his pain; thou hast made all his bed in his sickness.

Waaqayyo siree inni dhukkubsatee irra ciisu irratti isa kunuunsa; fayyisees siree dhukkubaa irraa isa ni kaasa.

4 I said, O Lord, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

Anis, “Yaa Waaqayyo na maari; ani cubbuu sitti hojjedheeraatii na fayyisi” nan jedhe.

5 Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall he die, and his name perish?

Diinonni koo hamminaan, “Inni yoom duʼee maqaan isaa lafa irraa bada?” jedhanii waaʼee koo dubbatu.

6 And if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.

Namni tokko yeroo na gaafachuu dhufutti, utuma garaa isaatti hammina kuufatee qabuu, sobee dubbata; gad baʼees iddoo hundumatti odeessa.

7 All my enemies whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.

Warri na jibban hundinuu waaʼee koo walitti hasaasu; waan akka malee hamaa taʼes natti mariʼatu.

8 They denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up again?

Isaanis, “Dhukkubni hamaan isa qabateera; inni siʼachi iddoo ciisu sanaa hin kaʼu” jedhu.

9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against me.

Michuun koo inni natti dhiʼaatu, inni ani amanadhe, inni buddeena koo nyaate koomee isaa natti ol fudhate.

10 But thou, O Lord, have compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall requite them.

Ati garuu yaa Waaqayyo na baasi; akka ani haaloo baafadhuufis ol na kaasi.

11 By this I know that thou hast delighted in me, because mine enemy shall not rejoice over me.

Akka ati natti gammaddu ani beeka; diinni koo narra hin aanuutii.

12 But thou didst help me because of [mine] innocence, and hast established me before thee for ever.

Ati sababii amanamummaa kootiitiif utubdee na qabda; baruma baraanis fuula kee dura na dhaabda.

13 Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.

Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti haa eebbifamu.
