< Psalms 106 >

1 Praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; he faithfully loves [us] forever/continually!
Haalleluuyaa. Waaqayyoof galata galchaa; inni gaariidhaatii; jaalalli isaa bara baraan jiraata.
2 [Because Yahweh has done many great things], no one can [RHQ] tell all the great things that Yahweh has done, and no one can praise him enough/sufficiently.
Eenyutu hojii Waaqayyoo jabaa sana labsuu, yookaan galata isaa guutummaatti odeessuu dandaʼaa?
3 (Happy are/He is pleased with) those who act fairly/justly, with those who always do what is right.
Warri jabeessanii murtii qajeelaa eegan, warri yeroo hunda waan qajeelaa hojjetan eebbifamoo dha.
4 Yahweh, be kind to me when you help your people; help me when you rescue/save them.
Yaa Waaqayyo, yommuu saba keetti faara toltutti na yaadadhu; yommuu isaan oolchituttis na gargaari;
5 Allow me to see it when your people become prosperous again and when [all the people of] your nation, [Israel], are happy; allow me to be happy with them! I want to praise you along with [all] those [others] who belong to you.
akka ani badhaadhummaa filatamtoota keetii arguuf, akka ani gammachuu saba keetii keessatti hirmaadhee dhaala kee wajjin boonuuf na yaadadhu.
6 We and our ancestors have sinned; we have done things that were very wicked [DOU].
Nu akkuma abbootii keenyaa cubbuu hojjenneerra; yakka hojjenneerra; hamminas hojjenneerra.
7 When our ancestors were in Egypt, they did not pay attention to the wonderful things that Yahweh did; they forgot about the many times that he showed that he faithfully loved them. Instead, when they were at the Red Sea, they rebelled against God, who is greater than any other god.
Abbootiin keenya yeroo biyya Gibxi keessa turanitti, dinqii kee hin hubanne; baayʼina araara keetiis hin yaadanne; isaan galaana biratti, Galaana Diimaa biratti sitti fincilan.
8 But he rescued them for the sake of his own [reputation] in order that he could show that he is very powerful.
Taʼus inni akka humni isaa guddaan sun beekamuuf, maqaa isaatiif jedhee isaan oolche.
9 He rebuked the Red Sea and it became dry, and [then] while he led our ancestors across it, they walked through it as though it were as dry as a desert [SIM].
Inni Galaana Diimaa ifate; galaanichis ni goge; akkuma waan gammoojjii keessa dabarsuutti lafa gogaa irra isaan dabarse.
10 In that way he rescued them from the power [MTY] of their enemies who hated them [DOU].
Harka amajaajii isaanii keessaa isaan baase; humna diinaa jalaas isaan fure.
11 [Then] their enemies were drowned in the water [of the Red Sea]; not one of them was left.
Bishaanonni diinota isaanii liqimsan; tokkoon isaanii iyyuu hin hafne.
12 When that happened, our ancestors believed [that Yahweh had truly done for them] what he had promised to do, and they sang to praise him.
Ergasii isaan dubbii isaa amananii faarfannaadhaan isa galateeffatan.
13 But they soon forgot what he had done for them; they [did things] without waiting to find out what Yahweh wanted them to do.
Isaan garuu yommusuma waan inni hojjetee ture dagatan; gorsa isaas obsaan hin eegganne.
14 They intensely wanted [food like they formerly ate in Egypt]. They [did evil things to] find out [if they could do those things without God punishing them].
Gammoojjii keessatti dharraa hamaadhaan guutaman; lafa onaa keessattis Waaqa qoran.
15 [So] he gave them what they requested, but he [also] caused a terrible disease to afflict them.
Kanaafuu inni waan isaan kadhatan kenneef; garuu dhukkuba nama huqqisu isaanitti erge.
16 [Later] when [some of] the men became jealous of Moses and [his older brother] Aaron, who was dedicated [to serve Yahweh by being a priest],
Isaan qubata keessatti Musee fi Aroon qulqullicha Waaqayyootti hinaafan.
17 the ground opened up and swallowed Dathan and [also] buried Abiram and his family.
Lafti afaan banattee Daataanin liqimsite; garee Abiiraamis gad fudhatte.
18 And [God sent] a fire down [from heaven] which burned up [all] the wicked [people who (supported them/agreed with) them].
Duuka buutoota isaanii gidduutti ibiddi bobaʼe; arrabni ibiddaas hamoota fixe.
19 Then the [Israeli leaders] made a gold statue at Sinai [Mountain] and worshiped it.
Isaan Kooreebitti jabbii tolfatan; fakkii baqfamee tolfames waaqeffatan.
20 Instead of worshiping [our] glorious God, they [started to] worship a statue of a bull that eats grass!
Isa Ulfina isaanii taʼe sana, fakkii sangaa marga dheeduutti geeddaran.
21 They forgot about God, who had rescued them by the great miracles that he performed in Egypt.
Waaqa isaan fayyise, isa biyya Gibxitti waan gurguddaa hojjete sana irraanfatan.
22 They forgot about the wonderful things that he did for them in Egypt and the amazing/awesome things that he did for them at the Red Sea.
Dinqii inni biyya Haam keessatti hojjete, hojii sodaachisaa inni Galaana Diimaa irratti hojjetes ni irraanfatan.
23 Because of that, God said that he would get rid of the Israelis, but Moses, whom God had chosen [to serve him], pleaded with God [not to get rid of them]. And as a result God did not destroy them.
Kanaafuu utuu filatamaan isaa Museen akka dheekkamsi Waaqaa isaan hin balleessineef gidduu galee fuula isaa dura dhaabachuu baatee silaa Waaqni akka isaan balleessu dubbatee ture.
24 [Later], our ancestors (refused/were afraid) to enter beautiful [Canaan] land because they did not believe [that God would enable them to take the land from the people who were living there, as] he had promised.
Isaanis biyya namatti tolu sana tuffatan; waadaa Waaqni gales hin amanne.
25 They stayed in their tents and grumbled and would not pay attention to what Yahweh said that they should do.
Dunkaanota isaanii keessatti ni guunguman; Waaqayyoofis hin ajajamne.
26 So he solemnly [MTY] told them that he would cause them to die [there] in the desert,
Kanaafuu inni akka gammoojjii keessatti isaan gatu harka isaa ol qabatee kakate;
27 and that he would scatter their descendants among the [people of other] nations/people-groups [who did not believe in him], and that he would allow them to die in those lands.
sanyii isaanii akka saboota gidduutti gatu, biyyoota hunda keessas akka isaan bittinneessu kakate.
28 Later the Israeli people [started to] worship [the idol of] Baal [who they thought lived] at Peor [Mountain], and they ate [meat that had been] sacrificed to [Baal and those other] lifeless gods.
Isaan Baʼaal Pheʼooritti of kennanii aarsaa waaqota lubbuu hin qabneef dhiʼeeffame nyaatan.
29 Yahweh became [very] angry because of what they had done, [so again] he sent a terrible disease to attack/strike them.
Hojii isaanii hamaa sanaan Waaqayyoon dheekkamsaaf kakaasan; dhaʼichis isaan irra buʼe.
30 But Phinehas stood up and punished/killed [the ones who had sinned greatly], and as a result the (plague/serious disease) ended.
Garuu Fiinehaas kaʼee gidduu seennaan dhaʼichi sun dhaabate.
31 People have remembered that righteous thing that Phinehas did, and in future years people will remember it.
Kunis dhalootaa hamma dhalootaatti, akka qajeelummaatti isaaf herregame.
32 [Then] at Meribah Springs our ancestors caused Yahweh to become angry, and as a result Moses had trouble.
Isaan bishaan Mariibaa biratti akka Waaqayyo aaru godhan. Museenis sababii isaaniitiif rakkate;
33 They caused Moses to become very angry [IDM], and he said things that were foolish.
sababii isaan Hafuura Waaqaatti fincilaniif Museen utuu itti hin yaadin dubbate.
34 Our ancestors did not destroy the people [who did not believe in Yahweh] like he told them to do.
Isaan akka Waaqayyo isaan ajajetti, saboota hin balleessine;
35 Instead, they mingled with people from those people-groups, and they started to do the evil things that those people did.
isaan garuu ormootatti makamanii duudhaa isaanii baratan.
36 Our ancestors worshiped the idols of those people, which resulted in their being destroyed/exiled/taken to another country [MET].
Waaqota isaanii tolfamoo, kanneen kiyyoo isaanitti taʼan waaqeffatan.
37 [Some of] the Israelis sacrificed their sons and daughters to the demons [that those idols represented].
Ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii aarsaa godhanii hafuurota hamoof dhiʼeessan.
38 They killed [MTY] their own children, who (were innocent/had not done things that were wrong), and offered them as sacrifices to the idols in Canaan. [As a result], Canaan land was polluted by those murders [MTY].
Isaanis dhiiga warra balleessaa hin qabnee, dhiiga ilmaan isaaniitii fi intallan isaanii, kan waaqota tolfamoo Kanaʼaaniif aarsaa godhanii dhiʼeessan sana dhangalaasan; biyyattiinis dhiiga isaaniitiin faalamte.
39 So by their deeds they caused themselves to become unacceptable to God; [because they did not faithfully worship only God], [they became like] women who sleep with other men [instead of sleeping only with their husbands] [MET].
Isaan waanuma hojjetaniin of xureessan; hojii isaaniitiin sagaagaltoota of taasisan.
40 So Yahweh became very angry with his people; he was completely disgusted with them.
Kanaafuu Waaqayyo saba isaatti aare; handhuuraa isaas ni balfe.
41 [As a result] he allowed people-groups [who did not believe in him] to conquer them, so those who hated our ancestors started to rule over them.
Inni dabarsee ormootatti isaan kenne; amajaajonni isaaniis of jalatti isaan bulchan.
42 Their enemies (oppressed them/treated them cruelly) and completely controlled them [MET].
Diinonni isaanii isaan cunqursan; humna isaanii jalas isaan galfatan.
43 Many times Yahweh rescued them, but they continued to rebel against him, and they were finally destroyed because of the sins that they committed.
Inni yeroo baayʼee isaan baraare; isaan garuu ittuma fufanii fincilan; ittuma caalchisaniis cubbuu hojjetan.
44 However, Yahweh [always] heard them when they cried out to him; he listened to them when they were distressed.
Inni garuu yommuu iyya isaanii dhagaʼetti, rakkina isaanii hubate;
45 For their sake, he thought about the agreement/promise that he had made [to bless] them, and because he never stopped loving them very much, he changed his mind [about punishing them more].
isaaniif jedhee kakuu isaa yaadate; sababii jaalala isaa guddaa sanaatiif garaa laafeef.
46 He caused all those who had taken the Israelis [to Babylonia] to (feel sorry for/pity) them.
Inni akka warri isaan boojiʼan hundinuu garaa isaaniif laafaniif godhe.
47 Yahweh our God, rescue/save us and bring us back [to Israel] from among those people-groups in order that we may thank you [MTY] and joyfully praise you.
Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa keenya nu oolchi; akka nu maqaa kee qulqulluu sana galateeffannuuf, akka galata keetiin of jajnuufis, ormoota keessaa walitti nu qabi.
48 Praise Yahweh, the God whom [we] Israelis [worship], praise him now and forever! And I want everyone to say, “Amen/May it be so!” Praise Yahweh!
Waaqayyo, Waaqa Israaʼeliitiif, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti galanni haa gaʼu. Namni hundinuu “Ameen!” haa jedhu. Haalleluuyaa!
