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 the LORD the words of this song in the day [that] the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul:
2 Innis akkana jedhe: “Waaqayyo kattaa koo ti; daʼannoo kootii fi oolchaa koo ti;
And he said, The LORD [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.
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: [he is] my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my preserver; thou savest me from violence.
4 “Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
I will call on the LORD, [who is] worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 Dambaliin duʼaa na marseera; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly-men made me afraid;
The sorrows of hell encompassed me; the snares of death seized 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 the LORD, and cried to my God: and he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry [entered] into his ears.
8 Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan samiiwwanii ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
Then the earth shook and trembled: the foundations of heaven moved 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 were kindled by it.
10 Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
He bowed the heavens also, 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 flew: 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 pavilions around him, dark waters, [and] thick clouds of the skies.
13 Ifa fuula isaa keessaas bakakkaan balaqqisee baʼe.
Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.
14 Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.
15 Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.
16 Dheekkamsa, Waaqayyootiin humna hafuura funyaan isaatii baʼuutiinis sululawwan galaanaa ifatti baafaman; hundeewwan lafaas qullaa hafan.
And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were laid open, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
17 “Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many 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 too strong for me.
19 Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
They fell upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my support.
20 Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
He brought me forth also 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.
The LORD 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 the LORD, 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 judgments [were] before me: and [as for] his statutes, I did not depart from them.
24 Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from my iniquity.
25 Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma ani fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye-sight.
26 “Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata;
With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful, [and] with the upright man thou wilt show thyself upright.
27 nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
With the pure thou wilt show thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt contend.
28 Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; warra of tuulan immoo gad deebisuuf iji kee isaan ilaala.
And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thy eyes [are] upon the haughty, [that] thou mayest bring [them] down.
29 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati ibsaa koo ti; Waaqayyo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
For thou [art] my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten 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 the LORD [is] tried: he [is] a buckler to all them that trust in him.
32 Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees Kattaan eenyu?
For who [is] God, save the LORD? and who [is] a rock, save our God?
33 Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
God [is] my strength [and] power: and he maketh my way perfect.
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; so that a bow of steel is broken by my arms.
36 Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great.
37 Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet have not slipped.
38 “Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan balleesse; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.
39 Ani guutumaan guutuutti isaan nan barbadeesse; isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandaʼan; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they have fallen under my feet.
40 Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me.
41 Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
Thou hast also given me the necks of my enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.
42 Isaan gargaarsaaf iyyan; garuu kan isaan oolchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; gara Waaqayyoottis ni iyyatan; inni garuu deebii hin kennineef.
They looked, but [there was] none to save; [even] to the LORD, but he answered them not.
43 Anis akkuma awwaara lafaatti isaan nan daake; bulleessees akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan dhidhiite.
Then I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I stamped them as the mire of the street, [and] spread them abroad.
44 “Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa gootee na jiraachifteerta. Sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila;
Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me [to be] head of the heathen: a people [which] I knew not shall serve me.
45 namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
Strangers shall submit themselves to me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient to me.
46 Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
Strangers shall fade away, and they shall tremble from their close places.
47 “Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni koo, Kattaan, Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
The LORD liveth; and blessed [be] my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.
48 Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jala galchu,
It [is] God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me,
49 kan diinota koo jalaas bilisa na baasuu dha. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
And that bringeth me forth from my enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
50 Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises to thy name.
51 “Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, araara bara baraa ni argisiisa.”
[He is] the tower of salvation for his king: and [he] showeth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
