2 Saamuʼeel 22
1 Daawit yommuu Waaqayyo harka diinota isaa hundaa fi harka Saaʼol jalaa isa baasetti dubbii Faarfannaa kana Waaqayyoof faarfate.
And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.
2 Innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo kattaa koo ti; daʼannoo kootii fi oolchaa koo ti;
And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;
3 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.
God is my rock, in him will I trust — My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge, My saviour: thou wilt save me from violence.
4 “Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is to be praised; So shall I be saved from mine enemies.
5 Dambaliin duʼaa na marseera; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
For the waves of death encompassed me, Torrents of Belial made me afraid.
The bands of Sheol surrounded me; The cords of death encountered me; (Sheol h7585)
7 “Ani dhiphina koo keessatti Waaqayyoon nan waammadhe; Waaqa kootti nan iyyadhe. Innis mana qulqullummaa isaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼe; iyyi koos gurra isaa seene.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, And I cried to my God; And he heard my voice out of his temple, And my cry [came] into his ears.
8 Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan samiiwwanii ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
Then the earth shook, and quaked; The foundations of the heavens trembled And shook because he was wroth.
9 Aarri funyaan isaatii ol baʼe; ibiddi waa barbadeessu afaan isaatii baʼe; cileen bobaʼus afaan isaatii baʼe.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, And fire out of his mouth devoured: Coals burned forth from it.
10 Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
And he bowed the heavens, and came down; And darkness was under his feet.
11 Inni kiirubeelin yaabbatee barrise; qoochoo qilleensaatiinis ol baʼe.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly; And he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
12 Inni dukkana, duumessa samii kan bokkaadhaan dukkanaaʼe immoo godoo isaa godhate.
And he made darkness round about him a tent, Gatherings of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
13 Ifa fuula isaa keessaas bakakkaan balaqqisee baʼe.
From the brightness before him Burned forth coals of fire.
14 Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
Jehovah thundered from the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice.
15 Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
And he sent arrows, and scattered [mine enemies]; Lightning, and discomfited them.
16 Dheekkamsa, Waaqayyootiin humna hafuura funyaan isaatii baʼuutiinis sululawwan galaanaa ifatti baafaman; hundeewwan lafaas qullaa hafan.
And the beds of the sea were seen, The foundations of the world were uncovered At the rebuke of Jehovah, At the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 “Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
He reached forth from above, he took me, He drew me out of great waters;
18 Inni diina koo isa jabaa jalaa, amajaajota koo warra akka malee natti ciman jalaas na baase.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, From them that hated me; For they were mightier than I.
19 Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
They encountered me in the day of my calamity; But Jehovah was my stay.
20 Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
And he brought me forth into a large place; He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
21 “Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelummaa kootiitti naa kenneera; akkuma qulqullina harka koottis na badhaase.
Jehovah hath rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
22 Ani karaa Waaqayyoo eegeeraatii; Waaqa koo irraa garagalee hammina hin hojjenne.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, And have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Seerri isaa hundinuu fuula koo dura jira; anis ajaja isaa irraa hin jalʼanne.
For all his ordinances were before me, And his statutes, I did not depart from them,
24 Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
And I was upright before him, And kept myself from mine iniquity.
25 Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma ani fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
And Jehovah hath recompensed me according to my righteousness, According to my cleanness in his sight.
26 “Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata;
With the gracious thou dost shew thyself gracious; With the upright man thou dost shew thyself upright;
27 nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
With the pure thou dost shew thyself pure; And with the perverse thou dost shew thyself contrary.
28 Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; warra of tuulan immoo gad deebisuuf iji kee isaan ilaala.
And the afflicted people thou dost save; And thine eyes are upon the haughty, [whom] thou bringest down.
29 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati ibsaa koo ti; Waaqayyo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
For thou art my lamp, Jehovah; And Jehovah enlighteneth my darkness.
30 Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
For by thee I have run through a troop; By my God have I leaped over a wall.
31 “Waaqa kana, karaan isaa mudaa hin qabu; dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu. Warra isatti kooluu galan hundaaf inni gaachana taʼa.
As for God, his way is perfect; The word of Jehovah is tried: He is a shield to all that trust in him.
32 Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees Kattaan eenyu?
For who is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?
33 Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
God is my strong fortress, And he maketh my way perfectly smooth.
34 Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
He maketh my feet like hinds' [feet], And setteth me upon my high places.
35 Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
He teacheth my hands to war, And mine arms bend a bow of brass.
36 Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
And thou didst give me the shield of thy salvation, And thy condescending gentleness hath made me great.
37 Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
Thou enlargedst my steps under me; And mine ankles did not slip.
38 “Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan balleesse; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
I pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them, And I turned not again till they were consumed.
39 Ani guutumaan guutuutti isaan nan barbadeesse; isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandaʼan; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
And I have consumed them and have crushed them, and they rose not again; Yea, they fell under my feet.
40 Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
And thou girdedst me with strength to battle: Thou didst subdue under me those that rose up against me.
41 Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
And mine enemies didst thou make to turn their backs unto me, And those that hated me I destroyed.
42 Isaan gargaarsaaf iyyan; garuu kan isaan oolchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; gara Waaqayyoottis ni iyyatan; inni garuu deebii hin kennineef.
They looked, and there was none to save — Unto Jehovah, and he answered them not.
43 Anis akkuma awwaara lafaatti isaan nan daake; bulleessees akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan dhidhiite.
And I did beat them small as the dust of the earth, I trod them as the mire of the streets; I stamped upon them.
44 “Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa gootee na jiraachifteerta. Sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila;
And thou hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, Thou hast kept me to be head of the nations: A people I knew not doth serve me:
45 namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
Strangers come cringing unto me: At the hearing of the ear, they obey me.
46 Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
Strangers have faded away, And they come trembling forth from their close places.
47 “Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni koo, Kattaan, Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
Jehovah liveth; and blessed be my rock; And exalted be the God, the rock of my salvation,
48 Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jala galchu,
The God who hath avenged me, And hath brought the peoples under me.
49 kan diinota koo jalaas bilisa na baasuu dha. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
He brought me forth from mine enemies: Yea, thou hast lifted me up above them that rose up against me; From the man of violence hast thou delivered me.
50 Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
Therefore will I give thanks to thee, Jehovah, among the nations, And will sing psalms to thy name.
51 “Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, araara bara baraa ni argisiisa.”
[It is he] who giveth great deliverances to his king, And sheweth loving-kindness to his anointed, To David, and to his seed for evermore.
