Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Innis fuula Abiimelek duratti maraatuu of fakkeesseef Abiimelek isa ariinaan yeroo achii deemetti faarfate. Ani yeroo hunda Waaqayyoon nan eebbisa; galanni isaas yeroo hunda afaanii na hin buʼu.
2 My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice.
Lubbuun koo Waaqayyoon boonti; cunqurfamtoonni dhagaʼanii haa gammadan.
3 Magnify you the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Na wajjin Waaqayyoof ulfina kennaa; kottaa walii wajjin maqaa isaa ol kaafnaa.
4 I sought the Lord diligently, and he listened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.
Waaqayyoon nan barbaaddadhe; innis deebii naa kenne; sodaa koo hunda keessaas na baase.
5 Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.
Warri gara isaa ilaalan ni ifu; fuulli isaaniis yoom iyyuu hin qaanaʼu.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord listened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.
Hiyyeessi kun ni iyye; Waaqayyos isa dhagaʼe; rakkina isaa hundumaa keessaas isa baase.
7 The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo naannoo warra Waaqa sodaatanii ni qubata; isaan ni oolchas.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.
Akka Waaqayyo gaarii taʼe mee miʼeeffadhaa ilaalaa; namni isatti kooluu galu eebbifamaa dha.
9 Fear the Lord, all you his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him.
Isin qulqulloonni isaa Waaqayyoon sodaadhaa; warri isa sodaatan homaa hin dhabaniitii.
10 The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not lack any good thing. (Pause)
Leenci saafelli iyyuu waa ni dhaba; ni beelaʼas; namni Waaqayyoon barbaaddatu garuu waan gaarii tokko illee hin dhabu.
11 Come, you children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
Yaa ijoollee ko, kottaa na dhagaʼaa; anis Waaqayyoon sodaachuu isinan barsiisa.
12 What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?
Namni jireenya jaallatu, kan bara gaarii arguudhaafis bara baayʼee hawwu eenyu?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.
Arraba kee waan hamaa irraa, afaan kees soba dubbachuu irraa eeggadhu.
14 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Hammina irraa deebiʼi; gaarii hojjedhu; nagaa barbaadi; duukaa buʼis.
15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:
Iji Waaqayyoo qajeeltota irra jira; gurri isaas iyya isaaniitiif banamaa dha;
16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,
yaadannoo isaanii lafa irraa balleessuudhaaf, fuulli Waaqayyoo warra hamaa hojjetanitti ni hammaata.
17 and delivered them out of all their afflictions.
Qajeeltonni gargaarsaaf iyyatu; Waaqayyos isaan dhagaʼa. Rakkina isaanii hunda keessaas isaan baasa.
18 The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.
Waaqayyo warra garaan isaanii cabetti dhiʼoo dha; warra abdii kutatanis ni fayyisa.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.
Rakkinni nama qajeelaa baayʼee dha; Waaqayyo garuu hunda isaa jalaa isa baasa;
20 He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.
lafee isaa hunda ni eega; isaan keessaas tokko illee hin cabu.
21 The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.
Hamoota hamminatu ajjeesa; warra nama qajeelaa jibbanitti ni murteeffama.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.
Waaqayyo lubbuu tajaajiltoota isaa ni fura; warra isatti kooluu galan keessaa tokkotti illee hin murteeffamu.
