Psalms 129

1 Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Israaʼel akkana haa jedhu; “Isaan dargaggummaa kootii jalqabanii akka malee na cunqursaniiru;

2 Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me.

isaan dargaggummaa kootii jalqabanii akka malee na cunqursaniiru; garuu na hin moʼanne.

3 The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

Warri qootiisa qotan dugda koo qotan; boʼoo isaaniis ni dheeressan.

4 The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners:

Waaqayyo garuu qajeelaa dha; funyoo jalʼootaa gargar kukkuteera.”

5 Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion.

Warri Xiyoonin jibban hundinuu, qaaniidhaan duubatti haa deebiʼan.

6 Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up:

Isaan akka marga bantii manaa irraa kan utuu hin guddatin goguu haa taʼan;

7 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.

namichi haamu qabaa isaa guuttachuu, yookaan namichi walitti qabu bissii isaa guuttachuu hin dandaʼu.

8 And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

Warri achiin darban, “Eebbi Waaqayyoo isiniif haa taʼu; maqaa Waaqayyootiin isin eebbifna” isaaniin hin jedhin.
