Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;
Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Asaaf Kan Gitiitiidhaan Faarfatamu. Waaqa jabina nuu taʼeef gammachuudhaan faarfadhaa; Waaqa Yaaqoobiitiif gammachuudhaan ililchaa!
2 Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
Faarfachuu jalqabaa; dibbees rukutaa; baganaa fi kiraara sagalee gaarii qabu rukutaa.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
Yeroo Baatiin dhalattu, yommuu jiʼi goobanutti, guyyaa ayyaana keenyaa malakata afuufaa;
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;
kun seera Israaʼeliif kenname, ajaja Waaqa Yaaqoob.
5 He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
Inni yeroo biyya Gibxi dhaʼuuf baʼetti, waan kana Yoosefiif seera godhee dhaabe. Anis afaan duraan hin beekin tokko dhagaʼe.
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani gatiittii isaanii irraa baʼaa buuseera; harki isaanis guuboo baachuu jalaa baʼe.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Ati dhiphina kee keessatti na waammatte; anis sin oolche; anis lafa bakakkaan itti dhokatu keessaa deebii siifin kenne; bishaan Mariibaa birattis sin qore.
8 Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
“Yaa saba koo dhagaʼi; ani siin akeekkachiisa; yaa Israaʼel ati utuu na dhaggeeffate!
9 There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
Waaqni ormaa tokko iyyuu isin gidduu hin jiraatin; ana malee waaqa biraa hin waaqeffatin.
10 I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan Gibxii baasee isin fidee dha. Afaan kee balʼisii banadhu; ani nan guutaa.
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
“Sabni koo garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne; Israaʼel anaaf hin bulle.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.
Kanaafuu ani akka isaan karaa fedhii isaanii deemaniif dabarsee mata jabina isaaniitti isaan kenne.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!
“Utuu sabni koo na dhaggeeffatee, utuu Israaʼel karaa koo irra deemee jiraatee,
14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
ani silaa akkam dafee diinota isaanii jilbeenfachiisee harka koos amajaajota isaaniitti nan kaasa ture!
15 The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.
Warri Waaqayyoon jibban fuula isaa duratti ni gugguufu; adabbiin isaaniis bara baraan itti fufa.
16 And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.
Ani garuu qamadii qulqulluu isin soora; damma kattaa keessaa baafames isinan quubsa.”
