2 Samuel 22
1 David spoke to the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul,
Daawit yommuu Waaqayyo harka diinota isaa hundaa fi harka Saaʼol jalaa isa baasetti dubbii Faarfannaa kana Waaqayyoof faarfate.
2 and he said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine;
Innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo kattaa koo ti; daʼannoo kootii fi oolchaa koo ti;
3 God is my rock in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge. My saviour, you save me from violence.
Waaqni koo kattaa koo kan ani kooluu itti galuu dha; inni gaachana kootii fi gaanfa fayyina koo ti. Inni daʼannoo koo cimaa, kooluu kootii fi fayyisaa koo ti; ati namoota humnaan namatti kaʼan jalaas na baasta.
4 I call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.
“Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
5 For the waves of death surrounded me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
Dambaliin duʼaa na marseera; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
Funyoon siiʼool natti marame; kiyyoon duʼaas natti dhufe. (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress, I called on the LORD. Yes, I called to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry came into his ears.
“Ani dhiphina koo keessatti Waaqayyoon nan waammadhe; Waaqa kootti nan iyyadhe. Innis mana qulqullummaa isaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼe; iyyi koos gurra isaa seene.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan samiiwwanii ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
9 Smoke went up out of his nostrils. Consuming fire came out of his mouth. Coals were kindled by it.
Aarri funyaan isaatii ol baʼe; ibiddi waa barbadeessu afaan isaatii baʼe; cileen bobaʼus afaan isaatii baʼe.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down. Thick darkness was under his feet.
Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
11 He rode on a cherub, and flew. Yes, he was seen on the wings of the wind.
Inni kiirubeelin yaabbatee barrise; qoochoo qilleensaatiinis ol baʼe.
12 He made darkness a shelter around himself, gathering of waters, and thick clouds of the skies.
Inni dukkana, duumessa samii kan bokkaadhaan dukkanaaʼe immoo godoo isaa godhate.
13 At the brightness before him, coals of fire were kindled.
Ifa fuula isaa keessaas bakakkaan balaqqisee baʼe.
14 The LORD thundered from heaven. The Most High uttered his voice.
Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
15 He sent out arrows and scattered them, lightning and confused them.
Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the LORD’s rebuke, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
Dheekkamsa, Waaqayyootiin humna hafuura funyaan isaatii baʼuutiinis sululawwan galaanaa ifatti baafaman; hundeewwan lafaas qullaa hafan.
17 He sent from on high and he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
“Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Inni diina koo isa jabaa jalaa, amajaajota koo warra akka malee natti ciman jalaas na baase.
19 They came on me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support.
Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
20 He also brought me out into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness. He rewarded me according to the cleanness of my hands.
“Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelummaa kootiitti naa kenneera; akkuma qulqullina harka koottis na badhaase.
22 For I have kept the LORD’s ways, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Ani karaa Waaqayyoo eegeeraatii; Waaqa koo irraa garagalee hammina hin hojjenne.
23 For all his ordinances were before me. As for his statutes, I didn’t depart from them.
Seerri isaa hundinuu fuula koo dura jira; anis ajaja isaa irraa hin jalʼanne.
24 I was also perfect towards him. I kept myself from my iniquity.
Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
25 Therefore the LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his eyesight.
Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma ani fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
26 With the merciful you will show yourself merciful. With the perfect man you will show yourself perfect.
“Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata;
27 With the pure you will show yourself pure. With the crooked you will show yourself shrewd.
nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
28 You will save the afflicted people, but your eyes are on the arrogant, that you may bring them down.
Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; warra of tuulan immoo gad deebisuuf iji kee isaan ilaala.
29 For you are my lamp, LORD. The LORD will light up my darkness.
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati ibsaa koo ti; Waaqayyo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
30 For by you, I run against a troop. By my God, I leap over a wall.
Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
31 As for God, his way is perfect. The LORD’s word is tested. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
“Waaqa kana, karaan isaa mudaa hin qabu; dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu. Warra isatti kooluu galan hundaaf inni gaachana taʼa.
32 For who is God, besides the LORD? Who is a rock, besides our God?
Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees Kattaan eenyu?
33 God is my strong fortress. He makes my way perfect.
Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
34 He makes his feet like hinds’ feet, and sets me on my high places.
Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
35 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of bronze.
Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
36 You have also given me the shield of your salvation. Your gentleness has made me great.
Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
37 You have enlarged my steps under me. My feet have not slipped.
Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
38 I have pursued my enemies and destroyed them. I didn’t turn again until they were consumed.
“Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan balleesse; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
39 I have consumed them, and struck them through, so that they can’t arise. Yes, they have fallen under my feet.
Ani guutumaan guutuutti isaan nan barbadeesse; isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandaʼan; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
40 For you have armed me with strength for the battle. You have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
41 You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
42 They looked, but there was no one to save; even to the LORD, but he didn’t answer them.
Isaan gargaarsaaf iyyan; garuu kan isaan oolchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; gara Waaqayyoottis ni iyyatan; inni garuu deebii hin kennineef.
43 Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
Anis akkuma awwaara lafaatti isaan nan daake; bulleessees akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan dhidhiite.
44 You also have delivered me from the strivings of my people. You have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known will serve me.
“Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa gootee na jiraachifteerta. Sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila;
45 The foreigners will submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they will obey me.
namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
46 The foreigners will fade away, and will come trembling out of their close places.
Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
47 The LORD lives! Blessed be my rock! Exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
“Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni koo, Kattaan, Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
48 even the God who executes vengeance for me, who brings down peoples under me,
Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jala galchu,
49 who brings me away from my enemies. Yes, you lift me up above those who rise up against me. You deliver me from the violent man.
kan diinota koo jalaas bilisa na baasuu dha. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
50 Therefore I will give thanks to you, LORD, amongst the nations, and will sing praises to your name.
Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
51 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his offspring, forever more.”
“Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, araara bara baraa ni argisiisa.”
