Psalms 18
1 I will love you, O LORD, my strength.
Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit garbicha Waaqayyoo; innis yommuu Waaqayyo harka diinota isaa hundaa fi harka Saaʼol jalaa isa baasetti dubbii faarfannaa kana Waaqayyoof faarfate. Innis akkana jedhe: Yaa Waaqayyo jabina ko, ani sin jaalladha.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
Waaqayyo kattaa koo, daʼannoo kootii fi oolchaa koo ti; Waaqni koo kattaa koo kan ani kooluu itti galuu dha; inni gaachana kootii fi gaanfa fayyina koo ti; daʼannoo koo cimaa dha.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
Funyoon duʼaa na xaxe; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
Funyoon siiʼool natti marame; kiyyoon duʼaas natti dhufe. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
Ani dhiphina koo keessatti Waaqayyoon nan waammadhe; gargaarsaafis Waaqa kootti nan iyyadhe. Innis mana qulqullummaa isaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼe; iyyi koos gurra isaa seene.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was angry.
Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan tulluuwwaniis ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Aarri funyaan isaatii ol baʼe; ibiddi waa barbadeessu afaan isaatii baʼe; cileen bobaʼus afaan isaatii baʼe.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
Inni kiirubeelin yaabbatee barrise; qoochoo qilleensaatiinis ol baʼe.
11 He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
Inni dukkana haguuggii isaa, duumessa samii kan bokkaadhaan dukkanaaʼe immoo godoo isaa godhate.
12 At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
Ifa fuula isaa keessaas duumessi dhagaa cabbiitii fi bakakkaadhaan tarsaasee baʼe.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
14 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, and humiliated them.
Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
15 Then the channels of waters were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at your rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.
Yaa Waaqayyo, dheekkamsa keetiin, humna hafuura funyaan keetii baʼuutiinis, sululawwan galaanaa ifatti baafaman; hundeewwan lafaas qullaa hafan.
16 He sent from above, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
Inni diina koo isa jabaa jalaa, amajaajota koo warra akka malee natti ciman jalaas na baase.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands has he recompensed me.
Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelummaa kootiitti naa kenneera; akkuma qulqullina harka koottis na badhaase.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Ani karaa Waaqayyoo eegeeraatii; Waaqa koo irraa garagalee hammina hin hojjenne.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
Seerri isaa hundinuu fuula koo dura jira; anis labsii isaa irraa hin gorre.
23 I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
24 Therefore has the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma harki koo fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
25 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful; with an upright man you will show yourself upright;
Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata.
26 With the pure you will show yourself pure; and with the perverse you will show yourself perverse.
Nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
27 For you will save the afflicted people; but will bring down high looks.
Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; ija of tuulu garuu gad deebifta.
28 For you will light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
Yaa Waaqayyo ati ibsaa koo jabeessitee ni ibsita; Waaqni koo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
29 For by you I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.
Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
Waaqa kana karaan isaa mudaa hin qabu; dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu; warra isatti kooluu galan hundaaf Waaqayyo gaachana taʼa.
31 For who is God save the LORD? or who is a rock save our God?
Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees kattaan eenyu?
32 It is God that girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect.
Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
33 He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
34 He teaches my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
35 You have also given me the shield of your salvation: and your right hand has held me up, and your gentleness has made me great.
Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; harki kee mirgaa ol na qabeera; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
36 You have enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
37 I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I return till they were consumed.
Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan qaqqabadhe; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
38 I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
Ani akka isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandeenyeef isaan nan barbadeesse; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
39 For you have girded me with strength unto the battle: you have subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
40 You have also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
41 They cried, but there was none to save them: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
Isaan gargaarsaaf iyyan; garuu kan isaan oolchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; gara Waaqayyoottis ni iyyatan; inni garuu deebii hin kennineef.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
Anis akkuma awwaara bubbeen fudhatuutti isaan nan daake; akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan nan dhidhiite.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people; and you have made me the head of the heathen: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa na gooteerta; sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila.
44 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
Namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
46 The LORD lives; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
47 It is God that avenges me, and subdues the people under me.
Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jalatti bulchuu dha;
48 He delivers me from mine enemies: yea, you lift me up above those that rise up against me: you have delivered me from the violent man.
diinota koo jalaas na baasa. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
49 Therefore will I give thanks unto you, O LORD, among the heathen, and sing praises unto your name.
Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
50 Great deliverance gives he to his king; and shows mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, jaalala bara baraa ni argisiisa.
