Psalms 44
1 To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. An Instruction. O God, with our ears we have heard, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work Thou didst work in their days, In the days of old.
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Maskiilii Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa Waaqi, waan ati bara durii, jabana isaanii keessa hojjette sana, abbootiin keenya nutti himaniiru; nuus gurra keenyaan dhageenyeerra.
2 Thou, [with] Thy hand, nations hast dispossessed. And Thou dost plant them. Thou afflictest peoples, and sendest them away.
Ati harka keetiin saboota ariitee baafte; abbootii keenya immoo ni dhaabde; namoota ni balleessite; abbootii keenya garuu bilisa baafte.
3 For, not by their sword Possessed they the land, And their arm gave not salvation to them, But Thy right hand, and Thine arm, And the light of Thy countenance, Because Thou hadst accepted them.
Harka kee mirgaatiin, irree keetii fi ifa fuula keetiitiin dhaalan malee isaan goraadee isaaniitiin lafa sana hin dhaalle; yookaan irreen isaanii moʼannoo isaaniif hin fidne; ati isaan jaallatteertaatii.
4 Thou [art] He, my king, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
5 By Thee our adversaries we do push, By Thy name tread down our withstanders,
Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
6 For, not in my bow do I trust, And my sword doth not save me.
Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
7 For Thou hast saved us from our adversaries, And those hating us Thou hast put to shame.
ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
8 In God we have boasted all the day, And Thy name to the age we thank. (Selah)
Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
9 In anger Thou hast cast off and causest us to blush, And goest not forth with our hosts.
Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
10 Thou causest us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.
Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
11 Thou makest us food like sheep, And among nations Thou hast scattered us.
Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
12 Thou sellest Thy people — without wealth, And hast not become great by their price.
Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
13 Thou makest us a reproach to our neighbours, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
14 Thou makest us a simile among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
15 All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face hath covered me.
Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
16 Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
17 All this met us, and we did not forget Thee, Nor have we dealt falsely in Thy covenant.
Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
18 We turn not backward our heart, Nor turn aside doth our step from Thy path.
Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
19 But Thou hast smitten us in a place of dragons, And dost cover us over with death-shade.
Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,
Utuu nu maqaa Waaqa keenyaa irraanfannee, yookaan utuu harka keenya gara waaqa ormaatti balʼifannee jiraannee,
21 Doth not God search out this? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.
silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
22 Surely, for Thy sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
23 Stir up — why dost Thou sleep, O Lord? Awake, cast us not off for ever.
Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
24 Why Thy face hidest Thou? Thou forgettest our afflictions and our oppression,
Ati maaliif fuula kee dhokfatta? Maaliifis dhiphinaa fi hacuucamuu keenya irraanfatta?
25 For bowed to the dust hath our soul, Cleaved to the earth hath our belly.
Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
26 Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for thy kindness' sake.
Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
