Psalms 71
1 In You, O YHWH, I have trusted, Do not let me be disappointed for all time.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ani kooluu sitti galeera; ati gonkumaa na hin qaanessin.
2 You deliver me in Your righteousness, And cause me to escape, Incline Your ear to me, and save me.
Qajeelummaa keetiin na baasi; na oolchis; gurra kee gara kootti qabi; na fayyisis.
3 Be a rock to me—a habitation, To go in continually, You have given command to save me, For You [are] my rock and my bulwark.
Ati kattaa ani kooluu itti galu, iddoo ani yeroo hunda itti baqadhu naa taʼi; ati waan kattaa koo fi daʼoo koo taateef, na baraaruuf ajaja kenni.
4 O my God, cause me to escape From the hand of the wicked, From the hand of the perverse and violent.
Yaa Waaqa ko, harka nama hamaa, qabaa nama jalʼaatii fi gara jabeessaa keessaa na baasi.
5 For You [are] my hope, O Lord YHWH, My trust from my youth.
Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati abdii kootii; ijoollummaa kootii kaaftees ati Waaqa ani amanadhuu dha.
6 I have been supported from the womb by You, You cut me out from my mother’s bowels, My praise [is] continually in You.
Ani gaafan dhaladhee jalqabee sitti irkadheera; gadameessa haadha koo keessaas situ na baase. Ani yeroo hunda sin galateeffadha.
7 I have been as a wonder to many, And You [are] my strong refuge.
Ani namoota baayʼeedhaaf mallattoo taʼeera; ati garuu daʼoo koo isa jabaa dha.
8 My mouth is filled [with] Your praise, All the day [with] Your beauty.
Afaan koo guyyaa guutuu, galataa fi ulfina keetiin guutama.
9 Do not cast me off at the time of old age, Do not forsake me according to the consumption of my power.
Yeroo ani dulloomutti ati na hin gatin; yeroo humni koo dhumuttis na hin dhiisin.
10 For my enemies have spoken against me, And those watching my soul have taken counsel together,
Diinonni koo natti mariʼatuutii; warri na ajjeesuuf riphanii eeggatanis walii wajjin natti mariʼatu.
11 Saying, “God has forsaken him, Pursue and catch him, for there is no deliverer.”
Isaanis, “Waaqni isa dhiiseera; namni isa oolchu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii faana buʼaatii qabaa” jedhu.
12 O God, do not be far from me, O my God, make haste for my help.
Yaa Waaqi, narraa hin fagaatin; yaa Waaqa ko, na gargaaruuf dafii kottu.
13 They are ashamed, they are consumed, Who are opposing my soul, They are covered [with] reproach and blushing, Who are seeking my evil,
Warri na himatan qaanaʼanii haa badan; warri na miidhuu barbaadanis tuffii fi salphina haa uffatan.
14 And I continually wait with hope, And have added to all Your praise.
Ani garuu yeroo hundumaa abdii qaba; ittuma caalchisees sin galateeffadha.
15 My mouth recounts Your righteousness, All the day Your salvation, For I have not known the numbers.
Ani yoo hammam akka inni gaʼu beekuu baadhe illee, afaan koo waaʼee qajeelummaa keetiitii fi waaʼee fayyisuu keetii guyyaa guutuu ni odeessa.
16 I come in [the] might of Lord YHWH, I mention Your righteousness—Yours alone.
Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani dhufee hojii kee humna qabeessa sana nan odeessa; ani qajeelummaa kee qofa labsa.
17 God, You have taught me from my youth, And until now I declare Your wonders.
Yaa Waaqi, ati ijoollummaa kootii jalqabdee na barsiifteerta; anis hamma harʼaatti hojii kee dinqisiisaa sana nan labsa.
18 And also to old age and grey hairs, O God, do not forsake me, Until I declare Your strength to a generation, Your might to everyone that comes.
Yaa Waaqayyo, yeroo ani dulloomee mataan koo arrii taʼutti illee, hamma ani humna kee dhaloota kanatti, jabina kees dhaloota dhufuuf jiru hundatti labsuutti, ati na hin dhiisin.
19 And Your righteousness, O God, [is] to the heights, Because You have done great things, O God, who [is] like You?
Yaa Waaqi, qajeelummaan kee samiiwwan bira gaʼa; ati waan gurguddaa hojjetteerta; yaa Waaqi, kan akka keetii eenyu?
20 Because You have showed me many and sad distresses, You turn back—You revive me, And from the depths of the earth, You turn back—You bring me up.
Ati rakkinaa fi dhiphina baayʼee na argisiifteerta; taʼus jireenya koo deebiftee ni haaromsita, qilee lafaa keessaas deebiftee ol na baafta.
21 You increase my greatness, And You surround—You comfort me,
Ulfina koo ni guddifta; amma illee na jajjabeessita.
22 I also thank You with a vessel of stringed instrument, Your truth, O my God, I sing to You with a harp, O Holy One of Israel,
Yaa Waaqa ko, ani amanamummaa keetiif, kiraaraan sin faarfadha; Yaa Qulqullicha Israaʼel ani kiraaraan faarfannaa galataa siif faarfadha.
23 My lips cry aloud when I sing praise to You, And my soul that You have redeemed,
Yommuu ani faarfannaa galataa siif faarfadhutti, hidhiin koo, lubbuun koo kan ati furtes guddisanii ni ililchu.
24 My tongue also utters Your righteousness all the day, Because ashamed—because confounded, Have been those seeking my evil!
Warri na miidhuu barbaadan, waan qaanaʼanii burjaajaʼaniif arrabni koo guyyaa guutuu qajeelummaa kee odeessa.
