Psalms 35
1 By David. Strive, Jehovah, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, warra anaan mormaniin mormi; warra na lolanis loli.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
Gaachanaa fi miʼa lolaa qabadhu; na gargaaruudhaafis kaʼi.
3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I [am].'
Warra na ariʼanitti eeboo fi bodee luqqifadhu. Lubbuu kootiinis, “Fayyinni kee ana” jedhi.
4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
Warri lubbuu koo barbaadan, haa qaanaʼan; haa salphatanis; warri na balleessuuf mariʼatanis, abdii kutatanii duubatti haa deebiʼan.
5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of Jehovah driving away.
Akka habaqii qilleensaan fudhatamee haa taʼan; ergamaan Waaqayyoos isaan haa ariʼu.
6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of Jehovah their pursuer.
Karaan isaanii dukkanaaʼaa fi mucucaataa haa taʼu; ergamaan Waaqayyoos isaan haa ariʼu.
7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
Isaan sababii malee kiyyoo isaanii dhoksanii na dura kaaʼaniiruutii; sababii malees boolla naa qotaniiru;
8 Meet him doth desolation — he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
utuu inni hin beekin badiisni isatti haa dhufu; kiyyoon inni dhokse sunis isuma haa qabu; boolluma qote sanattis haa kufu.
9 And my soul is joyful in Jehovah, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
Yoos lubbuun ko, Waaqayyotti gammaddi; fayyisuu isaattis ni ililchiti.
10 All my bones say, 'Jehovah, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
Lafeen koo hundi akkana siin jedha: “Yaa Waaqayyo, kan akka keetii eenyu? Ati dadhabdoota warra isaan caalaa jabaatan jalaa baafta; hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota illee saamtota jalaa baafta.”
11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
Dhuga baatonni sobaa natti kaʼan; waan ani waaʼee isaa hin beeknes na gaafatu.
12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
Isaan qooda waan gaarii waan hamaa naa deebisu; lubbuu koos kophaatti hambisu.
13 And I — in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
Ani garuu yeroo isaan dhibamanitti, wayyaa gaddaa nan uffadhe; lubbuu koos soomaan nan miidhe. Yeroo kadhannaan koo deebii malee hafettis
14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
ani akkuma waan michuu kootiif yookaan obboleessa kootiif gadduutti, gaddaan asii fi achi deddeebiʼe. Akkuma waan haadha kootiif booʼuuttis, gaddaan mataa koo nan buuse.
15 And — in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
Isaan garuu yeroo ani gufadhetti gammadanii walitti qabaman; utuu ani hin beekin na marsan; utuu wal irraa hin kutinis na cicciratan.
16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
Isaan akkuma warra Waaqatti hin bulleetti hamminaan natti qoosan; ilkaan isaanii illee natti qaratan.
17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
Yaa Gooftaa, ati hamma yoomiitti calʼistee ilaalta? Lubbuu koo badiisa isaan fidan jalaa, jireenya koos leenca jalaa baasi.
18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
Ani wal gaʼii guddaa keessatti sin galateeffadha; tuuta guddaa keessatti sin jajadha.
19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Warri akkasumaan diina natti taʼan natti hin gammadin; warri sababii malee na jibban sunis ija natti hin qisin.
20 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
Isaan nagaa hin dubbatan; warra qabbanaan biyya keessa jiraatanittis, mala sobaa malatu.
21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
Isaanis, “Baga! Baga! Ijuma keenyaan isa argine” jedhanii afaan natti banatu.
22 Thou hast seen, O Jehovah, Be not silent, O Lord — be not far from me,
Yaa Waaqayyo, ati waan kana argiteerta; hin calʼisin. Yaa gooftaa, narraa hin fagaatin.
23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
Yaa Waaqa koo fi Gooftaa ko, ati mirga kootiif, dhimma kootiifis dammaqi; kaʼi!
24 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O Jehovah my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, akkuma qajeelummaa keetiitti naa murteessi; akka isaan natti gammadanis hin godhin.
25 They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
Akka isaan, “Baga! Akkuma nu barbaanne taʼeera!” jedhan, yookaan akka isaan, “Nu isa liqimsineerra” jedhan hin godhin.
26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
Warri dhiphina kootti gammadan hundinuu haa qaanaʼan; haa burjaajaʼanis; warri natti kooran hundinuus, qaanii fi salphina haa uffatan.
27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
Warri qajeelumma koo jaallatan, sagalee guddaadhaan haa ililchan; haa gammadanis. Isaan yeroo hunda, “Waaqayyo inni nagaa garbicha isaatti gammadu guddaa dha” haa jedhan.
28 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!
Arrabni koo qajeelummaa kee, guyyaa guutuus galata kee odeessa.
