Psalms 81
1 “To the chief musician upon Gittith; by Assaph.” Sing aloud unto God our strength: shout joyfully unto the God of Jacob.
Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Asaaf Kan Gitiitiidhaan Faarfatamu. Waaqa jabina nuu taʼeef gammachuudhaan faarfadhaa; Waaqa Yaaqoobiitiif gammachuudhaan ililchaa!
2 Lift up psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery.
Faarfachuu jalqabaa; dibbees rukutaa; baganaa fi kiraara sagalee gaarii qabu rukutaa.
3 Blow on the new moon the cornet, at the time appointed, on the day of our feast.
Yeroo Baatiin dhalattu, yommuu jiʼi goobanutti, guyyaa ayyaana keenyaa malakata afuufaa;
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance by the God of Jacob.
kun seera Israaʼeliif kenname, ajaja Waaqa Yaaqoob.
5 As a testimony in Joseph did he ordain it, when he went out over the land of Egypt. The language of one I had not known did I hear.
Inni yeroo biyya Gibxi dhaʼuuf baʼetti, waan kana Yoosefiif seera godhee dhaabe. Anis afaan duraan hin beekin tokko dhagaʼe.
6 I removed from the burden his shoulder: his hands left behind the burden-basket.
Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani gatiittii isaanii irraa baʼaa buuseera; harki isaanis guuboo baachuu jalaa baʼe.
7 In distress thou didst call, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret of the thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Ati dhiphina kee keessatti na waammatte; anis sin oolche; anis lafa bakakkaan itti dhokatu keessaa deebii siifin kenne; bishaan Mariibaa birattis sin qore.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will give warning unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldst but hearken unto me!
“Yaa saba koo dhagaʼi; ani siin akeekkachiisa; yaa Israaʼel ati utuu na dhaggeeffate!
9 There shall not be among thee a foreign God; nor shalt thou bow thyself down to any strange God.
Waaqni ormaa tokko iyyuu isin gidduu hin jiraatin; ana malee waaqa biraa hin waaqeffatin.
10 I am the Lord thy God, who have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open wide thy mouth, and I will fill it.
Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan Gibxii baasee isin fidee dha. Afaan kee balʼisii banadhu; ani nan guutaa.
11 But my people did not hearken to my voice; and Israel was not willing [to follow] me.
“Sabni koo garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne; Israaʼel anaaf hin bulle.
12 So I let them go in the stubbornness of their own hearts: and they walked in their own counsels.
Kanaafuu ani akka isaan karaa fedhii isaanii deemaniif dabarsee mata jabina isaaniitti isaan kenne.
13 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, that Israel would walk in my ways!
“Utuu sabni koo na dhaggeeffatee, utuu Israaʼel karaa koo irra deemee jiraatee,
14 In a little while would I subdue their enemies, and against their adversaries would I turn my hand.
ani silaa akkam dafee diinota isaanii jilbeenfachiisee harka koos amajaajota isaaniitti nan kaasa ture!
15 The haters of the Lord should offer flattery unto him; but their time should endure for ever.
Warri Waaqayyoon jibban fuula isaa duratti ni gugguufu; adabbiin isaaniis bara baraan itti fufa.
16 And he would feed him with the best of wheat: and out of the rock would I satisfy thee with honey.
Ani garuu qamadii qulqulluu isin soora; damma kattaa keessaa baafames isinan quubsa.”
