Psalms 16
1 A Poem by David. Preserve me, God, for I take refuge in you.
Miiktaamii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, ani kooluu sitti galeeraatii, ati na eegi.
2 My soul, you have said to Yahweh, “You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing.”
Anis Waaqayyoon, “Ati Gooftaa koo ti; ani si malee gaarummaa hin qabu” nan jedha.
3 As for the saints who are in the earth, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
Qulqulloonni lafa irraa garuu ulfina qabeeyyii dha; anis isaanitti baayʼee nan gammada.
4 Their sorrows shall be multiplied who give gifts to another god. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
Warra waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼan, gaddi isaanii ni guddata. Dhibaayyuu dhiigaa ani isaaniif hin dhibaafadhu; yookaan afaan kootiin maqaa isaanii hin dhaʼu.
5 Yahweh assigned my portion and my cup. You made my lot secure.
Waaqayyo qooda dhaala kootii fi qooda xoofoo koo ti; ixaa koos situ naa jiraachisa.
6 The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, I have a good inheritance.
Funyoon daangaa iddoo gaarii naa buʼeera; dhugumaan ani dhaala nama gammachiisu qaba.
7 I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
Waaqayyo isa na gorsu sana ani nan jajadha; halkanis yaadni koo na qajeelcha.
8 I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.
Ani yeroo hunda fuula koo duraa Waaqayyoon qaba. Waan inni mirga koo jiruuf ani hin raafamu.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
Kanaaf garaan koo ni gammada; arrabni koos ni ililcha; foon koos nagaadhaan jiraata;
10 For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
ati siiʼool keessatti na hin dhiiftuutii, yookaan amanamaan kee akka tortoru hin gootu. (Sheol h7585)
11 You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.
Ati karaa jireenyaa na barsiifta; fuula kee durattis gammachuudhaan na guutta; gara mirga keetii gammachuu bara baraatu jira.
