Psalms 74
1 A contemplation by Asaph. God, why have you rejected us forever? Why does your anger smoulder against the sheep of your pasture?
Maskiilii Asaaf. Yaa Waaqi, ati maaliif bara baraan nu gatte? Aariin kee maaliif hoolota ati bobbaafte irratti akka malee bobaʼa?
2 Remember your congregation, which you purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your inheritance: Mount Zion, in which you have lived.
Saba ati dur filatte, gosa dhaala keetii, warra ati furte, Tulluu Xiyoon iddoo ati jiraattes yaadadhu.
3 Lift up your feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
Tarkaanfii kee gara waan bara baraan diigameetti qajeelfadhu; diinni waan mana qulqullummaa keessa jiru hunda barbadeesseera.
4 Your adversaries have roared in the middle of your assembly. They have set up their standards as signs.
Diinonni kee iddoo qulqulluu kee keessatti bookkisan; mallattoo isaaniis mallattoo godhanii dhaabbatan.
5 They behaved like men wielding axes, cutting through a thicket of trees.
Isaan nama bosona keessatti muka muruuf qottoo ol fudhatu fakkaatu.
6 Now they break all its carved work down with hatchet and hammers.
Isaanis waan soofame hunda, qottoo fi burrusaan caccabsan.
7 They have burnt your sanctuary to the ground. They have profaned the dwelling place of your Name.
Isaan mana qulqullummaa kee guban; lafa jireenya Maqaa keetiis ni xureessan.
8 They said in their heart, “We will crush them completely.” They have burnt up all the places in the land where God was worshipped.
Garaa isaanii keessatti, “Nu guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessina!” jedhan. Iddoo Waaqni biyyattii keessatti itti waaqeffamaa ture hundumas ni guban.
9 We see no miraculous signs. There is no longer any prophet, neither is there amongst us anyone who knows how long.
Mallattoon dinqii nuu hin kennamne; siʼachi raajiin tokko illee hin jiru; wanni kun hamma yoomiitti akka turu nu keessaa namni beeku hin jiru.
10 How long, God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme your name forever?
Yaa Waaqi, hamma yoomiitti diinni sitti qoosa? Amajaajiinis bara baraan maqaa kee xureessaa?
11 Why do you draw back your hand, even your right hand? Take it from your chest and consume them!
Ati maaliif harka kee, harka kee mirgaa dachaafatta? Harka kee bobaa jalaa baafadhuutii isaan barbadeessi!
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation throughout the earth.
Yaa Waaqi, ati durumaa jalqabdee mootii koo ti; lafa irrattis hojii fayyinaa hojjetta.
13 You divided the sea by your strength. You broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters.
Situ humna keetiin galaana gargar qoode; ati bishaan keessattis mataa bineensa jawwee fakkaatuu caccabsite.
14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces. You gave him as food to people and desert creatures.
Situ mataa Lewaataan caccabsee nyaata godhee uumamawwan gammoojjii jiraataniif kenne.
15 You opened up spring and stream. You dried up mighty rivers.
Situ burqaawwanii fi bishaan yaaʼuuf karaa bane; ati laga yeroo hunda yaaʼu illee gogsiteerta.
16 The day is yours, the night is also yours. You have prepared the light and the sun.
Guyyaan kan kee ti; halkanis keetuma; ati aduu fi jiʼa uumteerta.
17 You have set all the boundaries of the earth. You have made summer and winter.
Situ daarii lafaa hunda dhaabe; ati bonaa fi ganna uumteerta.
18 Remember this, that the enemy has mocked you, LORD. Foolish people have blasphemed your name.
Yaa Waaqayyo, akkamitti akka diinni sitti qoosu, akkamitti akka namoonni gowwoonnis maqaa kee xureessan yaadadhu.
19 Don’t deliver the soul of your dove to wild beasts. Don’t forget the life of your poor forever.
Lubbuu gugee keetii dabarsitee bineensa bosonaatti hin kennin; jireenya saba kee hiyyoomee bara baraan hin irraanfatin.
20 Honour your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.
Kakuu kee eegi; iddoon lafaa dukkanaaʼaan hundinuu gooliidhaan guutameeraatii.
21 Don’t let the oppressed return ashamed. Let the poor and needy praise your name.
Warri cunqurfaman qaanaʼanii duubatti hin deebiʼin; hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoonni maqaa kee haa galateeffatan.
22 Arise, God! Plead your own cause. Remember how the foolish man mocks you all day.
Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; dubbii kees falmadhu; akka gowwoonni guyyaa guutuu sitti qoosan yaadadhu.
23 Don’t forget the voice of your adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against you ascends continually.
Dhaadachuu diinota keetii, bookkisuu diina keetii kan gargar hin cinne sana hin dagatin.
