Psalms 44
1 For the end, a Psalm for instruction, for the sons of Core. O God, we have heard with our ears, our fathers have told us, the work which you wrought in their days, in the days of old.
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Maskiilii Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa Waaqi, waan ati bara durii, jabana isaanii keessa hojjette sana, abbootiin keenya nutti himaniiru; nuus gurra keenyaan dhageenyeerra.
2 Your hand utterly destroyed the heathen, and you did plant them: you did afflict the nations, and cast them out.
Ati harka keetiin saboota ariitee baafte; abbootii keenya immoo ni dhaabde; namoota ni balleessite; abbootii keenya garuu bilisa baafte.
3 For they inherited not the land by their [own] sword, and their [own] arm did not deliver them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your countenance, because you were well pleased in them.
Harka kee mirgaatiin, irree keetii fi ifa fuula keetiitiin dhaalan malee isaan goraadee isaaniitiin lafa sana hin dhaalle; yookaan irreen isaanii moʼannoo isaaniif hin fidne; ati isaan jaallatteertaatii.
4 You are indeed my King and my God, who command deliverances for Jacob.
Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
5 In you will we push down our enemies, and in your name will we bring to nothing them that rise up against us.
Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, and my sword shall not save me.
Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
7 For you have saved us from them that afflicted us, and have put to shame them that hated us.
ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
8 In God will we make our boast all the day, and to your name will we give thanks for ever. (Pause)
Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
9 But now you have cast off, and put us to shame; and you will not go forth with our hosts.
Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
10 You have turned us back before our enemies; and they that hated us spoiled for themselves.
Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
11 You made us as sheep for meat; and you scattered us among the nations.
Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
12 You have sold your people without price, and there was no profit by their exchange.
Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
13 You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a scorn and derision them that are round about us.
Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
14 You have made us a proverb among the Gentiles, a shaking of the head among the nations.
Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
15 All the day my shame is before me, and the confusion of my face has covered me,
Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
16 because of the voice of the slanderer and reviler; because of the enemy and avenger.
Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
17 All these things are come upon us: but we have not forgotten you, neither have we dealt unrighteously in your covenant.
Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
18 And our heart has not gone back; but you have turned aside our paths from your way.
Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
19 For you have laid us low in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread out our hands to a strange god; shall not God search these things out?
Utuu nu maqaa Waaqa keenyaa irraanfannee, yookaan utuu harka keenya gara waaqa ormaatti balʼifannee jiraannee,
21 for he knows the secrets of the heart.
silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
22 For, for your sake we are killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for slaughter.
Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
23 Awake, therefore sleep you, O Lord? arise, and do not cast [us] off for ever.
Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
24 Therefore turn you your face away, [and] forget our poverty and our affliction?
Ati maaliif fuula kee dhokfatta? Maaliifis dhiphinaa fi hacuucamuu keenya irraanfatta?
25 For our soul has been brought down to the dust; our belly has cleaved to the earth.
Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
26 Arise, O Lord, help us, and redeem us for your name's sake.
Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
