Psalms 44
1 TO THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work You worked 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 You, [with] Your hand, have dispossessed nations. And You plant them. You afflict peoples, and send them away.
Ati harka keetiin saboota ariitee baafte; abbootii keenya immoo ni dhaabde; namoota ni balleessite; abbootii keenya garuu bilisa baafte.
3 For they did not possess the land by their sword, And their arm did not give salvation to them, But Your right hand, and Your arm, And the light of Your countenance, Because You had accepted 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] He, my King, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
5 By You we push our adversaries, By Your Name we tread down our withstanders,
Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
6 For I do not trust in my bow, And my sword does not save me.
Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
7 For You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those hating us.
ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
8 In God we have boasted all the day, And we thank Your Name for all time. (Selah)
Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
9 In anger You have cast off and cause us to blush, And do not go forth with our hosts.
Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
10 You cause us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.
Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
11 You make us food like sheep, And You have scattered us among nations.
Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
12 You sell Your people—without wealth, And have not become great by their price.
Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
13 You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
14 You make us an allegory among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
15 All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face has covered me.
Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
16 Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
17 All this met us, and we did not forget You, Nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant.
Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
18 We do not turn our heart backward, Nor turn aside our step from Your path.
Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
19 But You have struck us in a place of dragons, And cover us over with death-shade.
Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
20 If we have forgotten the Name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,
Utuu nu maqaa Waaqa keenyaa irraanfannee, yookaan utuu harka keenya gara waaqa ormaatti balʼifannee jiraannee,
21 Does God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
22 Surely, for Your sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
23 Stir up—why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever.
Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
24 Why do You hide Your face? You forget our afflictions and our oppression,
Ati maaliif fuula kee dhokfatta? Maaliifis dhiphinaa fi hacuucamuu keenya irraanfatta?
25 For our soul has bowed to the dust, Our belly has cleaved to the earth.
Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
26 Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for your kindness’ sake.
Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
