< Psalms 94 >
1 O LORD, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa haaloo baaftu, Yaa Waaqa haaloo baaftu, ifii mulʼadhu.
2 Lift up Thyself, Thou Judge of the earth; render to the proud their recompense.
Yaa Abbaa Murtii lafa kanaa kaʼi; of tuultotaaf illee waan isaanii malu kenni.
3 LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked exult?
Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma yoomiitti warri hamoon, warri hamoon hamma yoomiitti burraaqu?
4 They gush out, they speak arrogancy; all the workers of iniquity bear themselves loftily.
Isaan dubbii of tuulummaa gad roobsu; jalʼoonni hundinuu of dhiibuudhaan guutaman.
5 They crush Thy people, O LORD, and afflict Thy heritage.
Yaa Waaqayyo, isaan saba kee miidhu; handhuuraa kees ni hacuucu.
6 They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
Haadha hiyyeessaatii fi keessummaa ni gorraʼu; ijoollee abbaa hin qabnes ni ajjeesu.
7 And they say: 'The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob give heed.'
Isaan, “Waaqayyo hin argu; Waaqni Yaaqoob hin qalbeeffatu” jedhu.
8 Consider, ye brutish among the people; and ye fools, when will ye understand?
Warri saba keessaa raatoftan mee hubadhaa; isin warri gowwoonni yoom ogeeyyii taatu?
9 He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, shall He not see?
Inni gurra uume sun hin dhagaʼuu? Inni ija uume hin argu?
10 He that instructeth nations, shall not He correct? even He that teacheth man knowledge?
Inni saboota sirreessu sun hin adabuu? Inni nama barsiisu sun beekumsa hin qabuu?
11 The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.
Waaqayyo yaada namaa beeka; akka yaadni namaa faayidaa hin qabnes ni beeka.
12 Happy is the man whom Thou instructest, O LORD, and teachest out of Thy law;
Yaa Waaqayyo, namni ati adabdu, namni ati seera kee irraa barsiiftu eebbifamaa dha;
13 That Thou mayest give him rest from the days of evil, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
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 For right shall return unto justice, and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
Murtiin qajeelummaa irratti hundeeffama; toloonni hundinuus isa faana buʼu.
16 Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
Eenyutu hamootatti naa kaʼa? Eenyutu na cina dhaabatee warra jalʼina hojjetaniin morma?
17 Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had soon dwelt in silence.
Utuu Waaqayyo na gargaaruu baatee, silaa yoona lubbuun koo boolla duʼaa keessa jirti.
18 If I say: 'My foot slippeth', Thy mercy, O LORD, holdeth me up.
Yaa Waaqayyo yeroo ani, “Miilli koo mucucaateera” jedhetti, araarri kee ol qabee na dhaabe.
19 When my cares are many within me, Thy comforts delight my soul.
Yommuu yaaddoon natti baayʼatetti, jajjabeessuun kee lubbuu koo gammachiise.
20 Shall the seat of wickedness have fellowship with Thee, which frameth mischief by statute?
Bulchitoonni hamoon, warri seeratti fayyadamanii jalʼina hojjetan si wajjin tokkummaa qabaachuu dandaʼuu?
21 They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn innocent blood.
Isaan tokkummaadhaan nama qajeelaatti kaʼanii nama yakka hin qabnetti duʼa muru.
22 But the LORD hath been my high tower, and my God the rock of my refuge.
Waaqayyo garuu daʼoo, Waaqni koos, kattaa ani itti baqadhu naa taʼeera.
23 And He hath brought upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own evil; the LORD our God will cut them off.
Inni gatii cubbuu isaanii isaanumatti deebisa; sababii hammina isaaniitiif illee isaan balleessa; Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya isaan barbadeessa.
