Psalms 44
1 For the Chief Musician; [a Psalm] of the sons of Korah. Maschil. We have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers have told us, what work thou didst 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 Thou didst drive out the nations with thy hand, and plantedst them in; thou didst afflict the peoples, and didst spread them abroad.
Ati harka keetiin saboota ariitee baafte; abbootii keenya immoo ni dhaabde; namoota ni balleessite; abbootii keenya garuu bilisa baafte.
3 For they gat not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour unto 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 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverance for Jacob.
Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
5 Through thee will we push down our adversaries: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
7 But thou hast saved us from our adversaries, and hast put them to shame that hate us.
ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
8 In God have we made our boast all the day long, and we will give thanks unto thy name for ever. (Selah)
Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
9 But now thou hast cast [us] off, and brought us to dishonour; and goest not forth with our hosts.
Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
10 Thou makest us to turn back from the adversary: and they which hate us spoil for themselves.
Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
11 Thou hast given us like sheep [appointed] for meat; and hast scattered us among the nations.
Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
12 Thou sellest thy people for nought, and hast not increased [thy wealth] by their price.
Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and a derision to them that are round about us.
Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
14 Thou makest us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
15 All the day long is my dishonour before me, and the shame of my face hath covered me,
Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blasphemeth; by reason of the enemy and the avenger.
Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
17 All this is come upon us; yet have we not forgotten thee, neither have we dealt falsely in thy covenant.
Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our steps declined from thy way;
Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
19 That thou hast sore broken us in the place of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
Utuu nu maqaa Waaqa keenyaa irraanfannee, yookaan utuu harka keenya gara waaqa ormaatti balʼifannee jiraannee,
21 Shall not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
22 Yea, for thy sake are we killed all the day long; we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
23 Awake, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, cast [us] not off for ever.
Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and forgettest our affliction and our oppression?
Ati maaliif fuula kee dhokfatta? Maaliifis dhiphinaa fi hacuucamuu keenya irraanfatta?
25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust: our belly cleaveth unto the earth.
Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
26 Rise up for our help, and redeem us for thy lovingkindness’ sake.
Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
