2 Saamuʼeel 22
1 Daawit yommuu Waaqayyo harka diinota isaa hundaa fi harka Saaʼol jalaa isa baasetti dubbii Faarfannaa kana Waaqayyoof faarfate.
And David speaks the words of this song to YHWH in the day YHWH has 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 says: “YHWH [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
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.
My God [is] my rock—I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Savior, You save me from violence!
4 “Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
I call on YHWH, [who is worthy] to be praised: And I am saved from my enemies.
5 Dambaliin duʼaa na marseera; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
When the breakers of death surrounded me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, The snares of death have been before 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 adversity I call on YHWH, And I call to my God, And He hears my voice from His temple, And my cry [is] in His ears,
8 Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan samiiwwanii ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
And the earth shakes and trembles, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He has wrath!
9 Aarri funyaan isaatii ol baʼe; ibiddi waa barbadeessu afaan isaatii baʼe; cileen bobaʼus afaan isaatii baʼe.
Smoke has gone up by His nostrils, And fire devours from His mouth; Brands have been kindled by it.
10 Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
And He inclines the heavens and comes down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
11 Inni kiirubeelin yaabbatee barrise; qoochoo qilleensaatiinis ol baʼe.
And He rides on a cherub and flies, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
12 Inni dukkana, duumessa samii kan bokkaadhaan dukkanaaʼe immoo godoo isaa godhate.
And He sets darkness around Him [for His] dwelling places, Darkness of waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
13 Ifa fuula isaa keessaas bakakkaan balaqqisee baʼe.
From the brightness before Him Brands of fire were kindled!
14 Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
YHWH thunders from the heavens, And the Most High gives forth His voice.
15 Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
And He sends forth arrows, and scatters them; Lightning, and troubles them;
16 Dheekkamsa, Waaqayyootiin humna hafuura funyaan isaatii baʼuutiinis sululawwan galaanaa ifatti baafaman; hundeewwan lafaas qullaa hafan.
And the streams of the sea are seen, [The] foundations of the world are revealed, By the rebuke of YHWH, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
17 “Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
He sends from above—He takes me, He draws me out of many waters.
18 Inni diina koo isa jabaa jalaa, amajaajota koo warra akka malee natti ciman jalaas na baase.
He delivers me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than me.
19 Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
They are before me in a day of my calamity, And YHWH is my support,
20 Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
And He brings me out to a large place, He draws me out for He delighted in me.
21 “Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelummaa kootiitti naa kenneera; akkuma qulqullina harka koottis na badhaase.
YHWH repays me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He returns to me.
22 Ani karaa Waaqayyoo eegeeraatii; Waaqa koo irraa garagalee hammina hin hojjenne.
For I have kept the ways of YHWH, And have not done wickedly against my God.
23 Seerri isaa hundinuu fuula koo dura jira; anis ajaja isaa irraa hin jalʼanne.
For all His judgments [are] before me, As for His statutes, I do not turn from them.
24 Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from my iniquity.
25 Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma ani fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
And YHWH returns to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
26 “Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata;
With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the perfect man You show Yourself perfect,
27 nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself a wrestler.
28 Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; warra of tuulan immoo gad deebisuuf iji kee isaan ilaala.
And You save the poor people, But Your eyes on the high cause [them] to fall.
29 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati ibsaa koo ti; Waaqayyo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
For You [are] my lamp, O YHWH, And YHWH lightens my darkness.
30 Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
For by You I run [against] a troop, By my God I leap a wall.
31 “Waaqa kana, karaan isaa mudaa hin qabu; dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu. Warra isatti kooluu galan hundaaf inni gaachana taʼa.
God—His way [is] perfect, The saying of YHWH is tried, He [is] a shield to all those trusting in Him.
32 Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees Kattaan eenyu?
For who is God except YHWH? And who [is the] Rock except our God?
33 Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
God—my bulwark, [my] strength, And He makes my way perfect;
34 Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
Making my feet like does, And causes me to stand on my high places,
35 Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of bronze was brought down by my arms,
36 Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
And You give the shield of Your salvation to me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
37 Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
You enlarge my step under me, And my ankles have not slipped.
38 “Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan balleesse; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
I pursue my enemies and destroy them, And I do not turn until they are consumed.
39 Ani guutumaan guutuutti isaan nan barbadeesse; isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandaʼan; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
And I consume them, and strike them, And they do not rise, and fall under my feet.
40 Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
And You gird me [with] strength for battle, You cause my withstanders to bow under me.
41 Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
And my enemies—You give to me the neck, Those hating me—and I cut them off.
42 Isaan gargaarsaaf iyyan; garuu kan isaan oolchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; gara Waaqayyoottis ni iyyatan; inni garuu deebii hin kennineef.
They look, and there is no savior; To YHWH, and He has not answered them.
43 Anis akkuma awwaara lafaatti isaan nan daake; bulleessees akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan dhidhiite.
And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small—I spread them out!
44 “Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa gootee na jiraachifteerta. Sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila;
And You deliver me From the strivings of my people, You place me for a head of nations; A people I have not known serve me.
45 namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they listen to me.
46 Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
47 “Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni koo, Kattaan, Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
YHWH lives, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God—The Rock of my salvation.
48 Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jala galchu,
God—who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under me,
49 kan diinota koo jalaas bilisa na baasuu dha. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
And bringing me forth from my enemies, Indeed, You raise me up above my withstanders. You deliver me from a man of violence.
50 Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
Therefore I confess You, O YHWH, among nations, And I sing praise to Your Name.
51 “Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, araara bara baraa ni argisiisa.”
Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—for all time!”
