Psalms 34
1 “By David, when he disguised his reason before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.” I will bless the Lord at all times: continually shall his praise be in my mouth.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Innis fuula Abiimelek duratti maraatuu of fakkeesseef Abiimelek isa ariinaan yeroo achii deemetti faarfate. Ani yeroo hunda Waaqayyoon nan eebbisa; galanni isaas yeroo hunda afaanii na hin buʼu.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear it, and be rejoiced.
Lubbuun koo Waaqayyoon boonti; cunqurfamtoonni dhagaʼanii haa gammadan.
3 Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Na wajjin Waaqayyoof ulfina kennaa; kottaa walii wajjin maqaa isaa ol kaafnaa.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me, and from all that I dreaded did he deliver me.
Waaqayyoon nan barbaaddadhe; innis deebii naa kenne; sodaa koo hunda keessaas na baase.
5 They [who] looked unto him, were indeed enlightened, and their faces were not put to the blush.
Warri gara isaa ilaalan ni ifu; fuulli isaaniis yoom iyyuu hin qaanaʼu.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and out of all his distresses did he save him.
Hiyyeessi kun ni iyye; Waaqayyos isa dhagaʼe; rakkina isaa hundumaa keessaas isa baase.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about those who fear him, and delivereth them.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo naannoo warra Waaqa sodaatanii ni qubata; isaan ni oolchas.
8 Experience and see that the Lord is good: happy is the man that trusteth in him.
Akka Waaqayyo gaarii taʼe mee miʼeeffadhaa ilaalaa; namni isatti kooluu galu eebbifamaa dha.
9 Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to those who fear him.
Isin qulqulloonni isaa Waaqayyoon sodaadhaa; warri isa sodaatan homaa hin dhabaniitii.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but those who seek the Lord shall not want any good.
Leenci saafelli iyyuu waa ni dhaba; ni beelaʼas; namni Waaqayyoon barbaaddatu garuu waan gaarii tokko illee hin dhabu.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: the fear of the Lord will I teach you.
Yaa ijoollee ko, kottaa na dhagaʼaa; anis Waaqayyoon sodaachuu isinan barsiisa.
12 Who is the man that desireth life, loveth [many] days, that he may see happiness?
Namni jireenya jaallatu, kan bara gaarii arguudhaafis bara baayʼee hawwu eenyu?
13 Guard thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking deceit.
Arraba kee waan hamaa irraa, afaan kees soba dubbachuu irraa eeggadhu.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Hammina irraa deebiʼi; gaarii hojjedhu; nagaa barbaadi; duukaa buʼis.
15 The eyes of the Lord are directed unto the righteous, and his ears unto their cry.
Iji Waaqayyoo qajeeltota irra jira; gurri isaas iyya isaaniitiif banamaa dha;
16 [But] the anger of the Lord is against those that do evil, to cut off from the earth their remembrance.
yaadannoo isaanii lafa irraa balleessuudhaaf, fuulli Waaqayyoo warra hamaa hojjetanitti ni hammaata.
17 Those cry, and the Lord heareth, and from all their distresses he delivereth them.
Qajeeltonni gargaarsaaf iyyatu; Waaqayyos isaan dhagaʼa. Rakkina isaanii hunda keessaas isaan baasa.
18 The Lord is nigh unto those that are broken-hearted: and he saveth those that are of a contrite spirit.
Waaqayyo warra garaan isaanii cabetti dhiʼoo dha; warra abdii kutatanis ni fayyisa.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but out of them all the Lord ever delivereth him.
Rakkinni nama qajeelaa baayʼee dha; Waaqayyo garuu hunda isaa jalaa isa baasa;
20 He watcheth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
lafee isaa hunda ni eega; isaan keessaas tokko illee hin cabu.
21 The evil will slay the wicked: and they who hate the righteous shall incur guiltiness.
Hamoota hamminatu ajjeesa; warra nama qajeelaa jibbanitti ni murteeffama.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and all that trust in him shall not incur guiltiness.
Waaqayyo lubbuu tajaajiltoota isaa ni fura; warra isatti kooluu galan keessaa tokkotti illee hin murteeffamu.
