Psalms 94
1 A Psalm of David for the fourth [day] of the week. The Lord is a God of vengeance; the God of vengeance has declared himself.
Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa haaloo baaftu, Yaa Waaqa haaloo baaftu, ifii mulʼadhu.
2 Be thou exalted, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
Yaa Abbaa Murtii lafa kanaa kaʼi; of tuultotaaf illee waan isaanii malu kenni.
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord, how long shall sinners boast?
Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma yoomiitti warri hamoon, warri hamoon hamma yoomiitti burraaqu?
4 They will utter and speak unrighteousness; all the workers of iniquity will speak [so].
Isaan dubbii of tuulummaa gad roobsu; jalʼoonni hundinuu of dhiibuudhaan guutaman.
5 They have afflicted thy people, O Lord, and hurt thine heritage.
Yaa Waaqayyo, isaan saba kee miidhu; handhuuraa kees ni hacuucu.
6 They have slain the widow and fatherless, and murdered the stranger.
Haadha hiyyeessaatii fi keessummaa ni gorraʼu; ijoollee abbaa hin qabnes ni ajjeesu.
7 And they said, The Lord shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
Isaan, “Waaqayyo hin argu; Waaqni Yaaqoob hin qalbeeffatu” jedhu.
8 Understand now, ye simple among the people; and ye fools, at length be wise.
Warri saba keessaa raatoftan mee hubadhaa; isin warri gowwoonni yoom ogeeyyii taatu?
9 He that planted the ear, does he not hear? or he that formed the eye, does not he perceive?
Inni gurra uume sun hin dhagaʼuu? Inni ija uume hin argu?
10 He that chastises the heathen, shall not he punish, [even] he that teaches man knowledge?
Inni saboota sirreessu sun hin adabuu? Inni nama barsiisu sun beekumsa hin qabuu?
11 The Lord knows the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
Waaqayyo yaada namaa beeka; akka yaadni namaa faayidaa hin qabnes ni beeka.
12 Blessed is the man whomsoever thou shalt chasten, O Lord, and shalt teach him out of thy law;
Yaa Waaqayyo, namni ati adabdu, namni ati seera kee irraa barsiiftu eebbifamaa dha;
13 to give him rest from evil days, until a pit be digged for the sinful one.
hamma hamootaaf boolli qotamutti, guyyaa rakkinaatti ati boqonnaa kennitaaf.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance;
Waaqayyo saba isaa hin gatuutii; inni akkana illee jedhee handhuuraa ofii isaa hin dhiisu.
15 until righteousness return to judgment, and all the upright in heart shall follow it. (Pause)
Murtiin qajeelummaa irratti hundeeffama; toloonni hundinuus isa faana buʼu.
16 Who will rise up for me against the transgressors? or who will stand up with me against the workers of iniquity?
Eenyutu hamootatti naa kaʼa? Eenyutu na cina dhaabatee warra jalʼina hojjetaniin morma?
17 If the Lord had not helped me, my soul had almost sojourned in Hades.
Utuu Waaqayyo na gargaaruu baatee, silaa yoona lubbuun koo boolla duʼaa keessa jirti.
18 If I said, My foot has been moved;
Yaa Waaqayyo yeroo ani, “Miilli koo mucucaateera” jedhetti, araarri kee ol qabee na dhaabe.
19 thy mercy, O Lord, helped me. O Lord, according to the multitude of my griefs within my heart, thy consolation have soothed my soul.
Yommuu yaaddoon natti baayʼatetti, jajjabeessuun kee lubbuu koo gammachiise.
20 Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frames mischief by an ordinance?
Bulchitoonni hamoon, warri seeratti fayyadamanii jalʼina hojjetan si wajjin tokkummaa qabaachuu dandaʼuu?
21 They will hunt for the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
Isaan tokkummaadhaan nama qajeelaatti kaʼanii nama yakka hin qabnetti duʼa muru.
22 But the Lord was my refuge; and my God the helper of my hope.
Waaqayyo garuu daʼoo, Waaqni koos, kattaa ani itti baqadhu naa taʼeera.
23 And he will recompense to them their iniquity and their wickedness: the Lord our God shall utterly destroy them.
Inni gatii cubbuu isaanii isaanumatti deebisa; sababii hammina isaaniitiif illee isaan balleessa; Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya isaan barbadeessa.
