Psalms 9
1 Yahweh, I will praise you with all of my inner being. I will tell [others] about all the wonderful things that you have done.
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif; Yeedaloo, “Duʼa ilmaa” jedhamu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani garaa koo guutuudhaan sin galateeffadha; waaʼee dinqii kee hundumaas nan odeessa.
2 I will sing to celebrate what you [MTY], who are much greater than all other gods, [have done].
Ani sittin gammada; nan ililchas; yaa Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii, faarfannaadhaan maqaa kee nan jajadha.
3 When my enemies realize [that you are very powerful], they stumble, and then they are killed.
Diinonni koo dugda duubatti ni deebiʼu; ni gufatu; fuula kee duraas ni badu.
4 You sat on your throne to judge people, and you have judged fairly/justly concerning me.
Mirga koo fi dhimma koo qabatteerta; atis murtii qajeelaa kennaa teessoo kee irra teesseerta.
5 You rebuked the [people of other] nations and you have gotten rid of the wicked people; you have erased their names forever.
Saboota ifattee hamootas balleessiteerta; maqaa isaaniis baraa hamma bara baraatti haqxeerta.
6 Our enemies have disappeared; you destroyed their cities, and people do not even remember them any more.
Diinonni badiisa bara baraatiin balleeffamu; ati magaalaawwan isaanii bubuqqifteerta; seenaan isaaniis barbadeeffameera.
7 But Yahweh rules forever. He judges [people while he sits] on his throne to judge people,
Waaqayyo garuu bara baraan ni moʼa; teessoo isaas murtiidhaaf dhaabbateera.
8 and he will judge [all the people in] [SYN] the world justly; he will judge the people [of all nations] fairly [DOU].
Inni qajeelummaadhaan addunyaadhaaf murtii ni kenna; sabootas murtii qajeelaadhaan bulcha.
9 Yahweh will be a refuge for those who are oppressed; [yes, he will be like] a shelter for them when they have trouble.
Waaqayyo warra cunqurfamaniif irkoo dha; yeroo rakkinaattis daʼoo dha.
10 Those who know Yahweh [MTY] trust in him; he never abandons those who come to him ([for help/to worship him]).
Warri maqaa kee beekan si amanatu; yaa Waaqayyo, ati warra si barbaadan gattee hin beektuutii.
11 Yahweh rules from Zion [Hill]; praise him while you sing to him. Tell [the people of all] the nations the [marvelous] things that he has done.
Waaqayyo isa Xiyoon irra jiraatu faarfannaadhaan jajadhaa; hojii isaa illee saboota keessatti labsaa.
12 He does not forget [to punish] those who have murdered others; and he will not ignore people who are crying because they are suffering.
Inni haaloo dhiigaa baasu sunis isaan yaadataatii; iyya warra dhiphataniis hin irraanfatu.
13 Yahweh, be merciful to me! Look at the ways that my enemies have injured me. Do not allow me to die [because of these injuries].
Yaa Waaqayyo, hammam akka diinonni koo na ariʼatan ilaali! Naaf araaramiitii afaan boolla duʼaa keessaa na baasi;
14 I want to live in order that I can praise you at the gates of Jerusalem [MTY] and to rejoice because you rescued me.
kunis ani karra Intala Xiyoon irratti akka galata kee labsuu fi fayyisuu keettis baayʼisee gammaduuf.
15 [It is as though] the [wicked people of many] nations have dug a pit for me to fall into [MET], but they have fallen into that same pit. [It is as if] they spread out a net to catch me [MET], but their feet have been caught in that same net.
Saboonni boolla qotan keessa buʼan; miilli isaaniis kiyyoodhuma isaan dhoksaniin qabame.
16 Because of what you have done, people know that you decide matters [fairly/justly], but [you allow] wicked people to be trapped by the same evil things that they themselves do.
Waaqayyo murtii qajeelaa kennuudhaan beekama; hamoonni garuu hojii harka isaaniitiin kiyyoo seenu.
17 Wicked people will all [die and] be buried in their graves, and [their spirits] will go to be with all those who have (forgotten about/rejected) you. (Sheol h7585)
Namoonni hamoon, warri Waaqa irraanfatan hundinuus siiʼoolitti gad buʼu. (Sheol h7585)
18 But you will not forget those who are needy/poor; what they confidently expect will certainly happen.
Rakkattoonni garuu yoom iyyuu hin irraanfataman; abdiin hiyyeeyyiis bara baraan hin badu.
19 Yahweh, arise and judge the [wicked] people of the nations; do not allow them to think that [because they are strong] they will never be punished.
Yaa Waaqayyo kaʼi; jabinni namaa hin mulʼatin; fuula kee duratti sabootatti haa muramu.
20 Yahweh, teach them to be terrified about you. Cause them to know that they are merely human beings.
Yaa Waaqayyo, sodaa isaanitti buusi; saboonnis akka namuma taʼan haa beekan.
