Faaruu 3
1 Namni ulee dheekkamsa isaatiin rakkina arge anaa dha.
I am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath.
2 Inni fuula isaa duraa na ariʼee akka ani qooda ifaa dukkana keessa deemu na godhe;
Me hath he led, and brought into darkness, and not into light.
3 dhugumaan inni guyyaa guutuu, ammumaa amma harka isaa natti deebise.
Surely against me hath he turned again and again his hand all the day.
4 Inni foon kootii fi gogaa koo dulloomseera; lafee koo illee caccabseera.
My flesh and my skin hath he wasted away, he hath broken my bones.
5 Inni na marsee hadhaaʼummaa fi gidiraa natti naannesseera.
He hath built against me, and encompassed [me] with gall and toil.
6 Akkuma warra dur dhumanii akka ani dukkana keessa jiraadhu na godhe.
He hath made me to dwell in dark places as those that have been long dead.
7 Inni akka ani hin miliqneef dallaa natti ijaare; foncaa ulfaatus natti feʼe.
He hath hedged me about that I cannot get out: he hath made my chain heavy.
8 Yommuu ani waammadhu yookaan gargaarsaaf iyyadhutti illee inni kadhannaa koo dhagaʼuu dida.
Even when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.
9 Karaa koo dhagaa soofameen cufe; daandii koo illee ni jalʼisa.
He hath inclosed my ways with hewn stone, he hath made my paths crooked.
10 Inni akkuma amaaketa riphee waa eeggatuu, akkuma leenca dhokatee jiruu
He is unto me [as] a bear lying in wait, a lion in secret places.
11 daandii irraa na harkisee na ciccire; kophaatti na gate.
He hath turned aside my ways, and pulled me in pieces; he hath made me desolate.
12 Inni iddaa isaa luqqifatee xiyya isaa natti qabe.
He hath bent his bow, and set me as a mark for the arrow.
13 Korojoo isaa keessaa xiyya baasee onnee koo waraane.
He hath caused the arrows of his quiver to enter into my reins.
14 Ani saba koo hundaaf waan kolfaa nan taʼe; isaan guyyaa guutuu faaruudhaan natti qoosu.
I am become a derision to all my people; their song all the day.
15 Inni waan hadhaaʼaa na nyaachise; hadhooftuu illee na quubse.
He hath sated me with bitterness, he hath made me drunk with wormwood.
16 Inni dhagaadhaan ilkaan koo cabse; awwaara keessattis na dhidhiite.
He hath also broken my teeth with gravel stones, he hath covered me with ashes.
17 Ani nagaa nan dhabe; gammachuun maal akka taʼes nan irraanfadhe.
And thou hast removed my soul far off from peace: I have forgotten prosperity.
18 Kanaafuu ani “Ulfinni koo, abdiin ani Waaqayyo irraa qabu hundinuu badeera” nan jedhe.
And I said, My strength is perished, and my hope in Jehovah.
19 Ani rakkinaa fi asii achi jooruu koo, hadhaaʼummaa fi hadhooftuus nan yaadadha.
Remember thou mine affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and the gall.
20 Lubbuun koo yeroo hunda waan kana yaaddi; na keessattis gad of qabdi.
My soul hath [them] constantly in remembrance, and is humbled in me.
21 Taʼus ani waan kana nan qalbeeffadha; kanaafuu ani abdii qaba.
— This I recall to heart, therefore have I hope.
22 Nu sababii jaalala Waaqayyoo guddaa sanaatiif hin badnu; gara laafinni isaa hin dhumuutii.
It is of Jehovah's loving-kindness we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not;
23 Isaan ganama hunda haaraa dha; amanamummaan kees guddaa dha.
they are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
24 Anis, “Waaqayyo qooda koo ti; kanaafuu ani isa nan eeggadha” ofiin nan jedha.
Jehovah is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him.
25 Waaqayyo warra isa abdataniif, kanneen isa barbaadaniif gaarii dha;
Jehovah is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul [that] seeketh him.
26 Fayyisuu Waaqayyoo calʼisanii eeggachuun gaarii dha.
It is good that one should both wait, and that in silence, for the salvation of Jehovah.
27 Yeroo dargaggummaa isaatti waanjoo baachuun namaaf gaarii dha.
It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth:
28 Inni kophaa isaa calʼisee haa taaʼu; Waaqayyo isa baachiseeraatii.
He sitteth solitary and keepeth silence, because he hath laid it upon him;
29 Amma illee abdiin ni jira taʼaatii, inni fuula isaa awwaara keessa haa suuqqatu.
he putteth his mouth in the dust, if so be there may be hope;
30 Inni nama isa dhaʼutti maddii isaa haa qabu; salphinaanis haa guutamu.
he giveth his cheek to him that smiteth him; he is filled full with reproach.
31 Gooftaan bara baraan nama hin gatuutii.
For the Lord will not cast off for ever;
32 Inni gadda fidu illee garaa ni laafa; jaalalli isaa kan hin geeddaramne sun guddaadhaatii.
but if he have caused grief, he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses:
33 Inni itti yaadee rakkina yookaan dhiphina sanyii namaatti hin fiduutii.
for he doth not willingly afflict or grieve the children of men.
34 Yommuu hidhamtoonni biyyattii keessa jiran hundi miilla jalatti dhidhiitaman,
To crush under foot all the prisoners of the earth,
35 yommuu fuula Waaqa Waan Hundaa Olii duratti mirgi nama tokkoo dhiibamu,
to turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most High,
36 yommuu murtiin qajeelaan dhabamu, Gooftaan waan akkasii hin arguu?
to wrong a man in his cause, — will not the Lord see it?
37 Yoo Gooftaan ajajuu baate eenyutu dubbatee waan sana fiixaan baasuu dandaʼa?
Who is he that saith, and there cometh to pass, what the Lord hath not commanded?
38 Wanni hamaanii fi wanni gaariin afaanuma Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitii baʼa mitii?
Out of the mouth of the Most High doth not there proceed evil and good?
39 Yoos namni lubbuun jiraatu kam iyyuu maaliif yommuu cubbuu isaatiif adabamutti guunguma ree?
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?
40 Kottaa nu daandii keenya qorree haa ilaallu; gara Waaqayyoottis haa deebinu.
Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to Jehovah.
41 Nu onnee keenyaa fi harka keenya gara Waaqa samii keessa jiruutti ol qabnee akkana haa jennu:
Let us lift up our heart with [our] hands unto God in the heavens.
42 “Nu cubbuu hojjenneerra; fincilleerras; atis nuuf hin dhiifne.
We have transgressed and have rebelled: thou hast not pardoned.
43 “Ati dheekkamsaan of haguugdee nu ariite; gara laafina malees nu fixxe.
Thou hast covered thyself with anger, and pursued us; thou hast slain, thou hast not spared.
44 Akka kadhannaan tokko iyyuu gara kee hin dhufneef ati duumessaan of haguugde.
Thou hast covered thyself with a cloud, that prayer should not pass through.
45 Ati saboota gidduutti xurii fi kosii nu goote.
Thou hast made us the offscouring and refuse in the midst of the peoples.
46 “Diinonni keenya hundinuu, afaan nutti banataniiru.
All our enemies have opened their mouth against us.
47 Sodaa fi kiyyoon, diigamuu fi badiisni nutti dhufeera.”
Fear and the pit are come upon us, devastation and ruin.
48 Sababii uummanni koo barbadaaʼeef lolaan imimmaanii ija koo keessaa yaaʼa.
Mine eye runneth down with streams of water for the ruin of the daughter of my people.
49 Iji koo boqonnaa malee utuu gargar hin kutin imimmaan lolaasa;
Mine eye poureth down, and ceaseth not, without any intermission,
50 kunis hamma Waaqayyo ol samiidhaa gad ilaalee argutti.
till Jehovah look down and behold from the heavens.
51 Sababii dubartoota magaalaa koo hundaatiif wanni ani argu lubbuu koo gaddisiisa.
Mine eye affecteth my soul, because of all the daughters of my city.
52 Warri sababii malee diina natti taʼan akkuma simbiraa na adamsan.
They that are mine enemies without cause have chased me sore like a bird.
53 Isaan lubbuu koo boolla keessatti galaafatanii dhagaa natti garagalchuu yaalan;
They have cut off my life in a pit, and cast a stone upon me.
54 bishaan mataa koo irra gara gale; anis, “Baduu koo ti” nan jedhe.
Waters streamed over my head; I said, I am cut off.
55 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani boolla qilee keessaa maqaa kee nan waammadha.
I called upon thy name, Jehovah, out of the lowest pit.
56 Ati kadhannaa koo kan, “Iyya ani gargaarsa barbaachaaf iyyu dhagaʼuu hin didin” jedhu dhageesseerta.
Thou hast heard my voice: hide not thine ear at my sighing, at my cry.
57 Yeroo ani si waammadhetti ati natti dhiʼaattee “Hin sodaatin” naan jette.
Thou drewest near in the day that I called upon thee; thou saidst, Fear not.
58 Yaa gooftaa ati dubbii koo naa falmite; lubbuu koos ni baraarte.
Lord, thou hast pleaded the cause of my soul, thou hast redeemed my life.
59 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati daba natti hojjetame argiteerta; dubbii koo naa ilaali!
Jehovah, thou hast seen my wrong: judge thou my cause.
60 Ati haaloo baʼuu isaaniitii fi natti malachuu isaanii hundas argiteerta.

62 kunis arraba warra natti kaʼaniitii fi waan isaan guyyaa guutuu waaʼee koo hasaasanii dha.
