Psalms 10
1 Why do you stand far off, YHWH? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati maaliif achi fagaattee dhaabatta? Yeroo rakkinaattis maaliif of dhoksita?
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
Namni hamaan of tuulummaa isaatiin hiyyeessa adamsa; inni maluma malatuun haa qabamu.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's cravings, and he blesses the greedy, scorning YHWH.
Namni hamaan hawwii isaatiin of jaja; ofittoo ni eebbisa; Waaqayyoon immoo ni arrabsa.
4 The wicked in his proud countenance does not seek. All his thoughts are "There is no God."
Namni hamaan sababii of tuuluuf Waaqa hin barbaadu; yaada isaa hundumaa keessas Waaqni hin jiru.
5 His ways are firm at all times. Your judgments are turned aside. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
Karaan isaa yeroo hunda ni milkaaʼaaf; inni of tuula; seerri kees isa irraa fagoo dha; diinota isaa hundattis tuffiidhaan qummaada.
6 He says in his heart, "I shall not be shaken. From generation to generation I shall not experience calamity."
Innis, “Wanni na sochoosu hin jiru; rakkinnis gonkumaa na hin argatu” ofiin jedha.
7 His mouth is full of cursing and bitterness and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Afaan isaa abaarsaan, sobaa fi doorsisaan guutameera; dabaa fi hamminni arraba isaa jala jiru.
8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
Inni gandoota keessatti riphee eeggata; iddoo dhokataattis warra yakka hin qabne ajjeesa. Ija isaatiinis hiyyeeyyii gaada.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless, when he draws him in his net.
Akka leenca daggala isaa keessaatti riphee eeggata. Hiyyeessa qabachuudhaaf dhokatee eeggata; hiyyeessas qabatee kiyyoo isaatiin harkifata.
10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
Hiyyeessi sunis ni caccaba; gad of qabas; humna nama hamaa jalattis ni kufa.
11 He says in his heart, "God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it."
Innis, “Waaqa irraanfateera; fuula isaas dhokfateera; gonkumaa hin argu” ofiin jedha.
12 Arise, YHWH. God, lift up your hand. Do not forget the helpless.
Yaa Waaqayyo kaʼi! Yaa Waaqi harka kee ol kaafadhu. Rakkataas hin dagatin.
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, "You will not seek (an accounting)."
Namni hamaan maaliif Waaqa arrabsa? Maaliifis garaa isaatti, “Inni waan kanatti na hin gaafatu” jedha?
14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
Yaa Waaqi, ati garuu rakkinaa fi gadda warra miidhamanii ni argita; harka keetiinis gatii baasifta. Deegaan dabarsee sitti of kenna; ati ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef gargaaraa dha.
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
Irree nama hamaatii fi jalʼaa cabsi; hamma hamminni isaa dhumee dhabamutti, hammina isaatti isa gaafadhu.
16 YHWH is King forever and ever. The nations have perished from his land.
Waaqayyo bara baraa hamma bara baraatti Mootii dha; ormoonni lafa isaa irraa ni barbadaaʼu.
17 YHWH, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati hawwii rakkattootaa ni dhageessa; isaan jajjabeessita; iyya isaanii illee ni dhaggeeffatta;
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
kunis akka namni biyyoo irraa uumame siʼachi isaan hin cunqursineef ati ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi cunqurfamtootaaf akka dhaabattuuf.
