Psalms 140
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.
Dura Buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, namoota hamoo jalaa na baasi; namoota finciltoota
2 Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
warra garaa isaanii keessatti hammina yaadanii guyyaa hunda waraana kaasan narraa eegi.
3 They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [is] under their lips. (Selah)
Isaan arraba isaanii akkuma bofaa qaratu; hadhaan buutii hidhii isaanii jala jira.
4 Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
Yaa Waaqayyo, harka hamootaa narraa eegi; namoota finciltoota warra miilla koo kiyyootti galchuu yaadan jalaa na baasi.
5 The proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, They have set snares for me. (Selah)
Of tuultonni dhoksanii kiyyoo na dura kaaʼaniiru; ribuu kiyyoo isaanii diriirsaniiru; karaa koo irras kiyyoo isaanii kaaʼaniiru.
6 I have said to YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani, “Ati Waaqa koo ti” siin nan jedha. Yaa Waaqayyo, waammata koo dhagaʼi.
7 O YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.
Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, fayyisaa koo jabaa, ati guyyaa waraanaatti gaachana mataa naa taate.
8 Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)
Yaa Waaqayyo, akka fedhiin hamootaa fiixaan baʼu hin godhin; akka isaan of hin tuulleef, akka karoorri isaanii milkaaʼu hin godhin.
9 The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.
Mataan warra na marsanii, hammina afaan isaaniitii baʼuun haa haguugamu.
10 They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.
Barbadaan ibiddaa isaan irra haa buʼu; isaan ibiddatti illee haa darbataman; akka lammata hin kaaneefis boolla qileetti haa darbataman.
11 A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.
Maqa balleessitoonni lafa irra hin jiraatin; namni jalʼaan waan hamaadhaan haa badu.
12 I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
Waaqayyo rakkattootaaf falmee hiyyeeyyiif illee murtii qajeelaa akka kennu ani beeka.
13 Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!
Dhugumaan namni qajeelaan maqaa kee ni galateeffata; namni tolaanis fuula kee dura ni jiraata.
