2 Inni fuula isaa duraa na ariʼee akka ani qooda ifaa dukkana keessa deemu na godhe;
Me He hath led, and causeth to go [in] darkness, and without light.
3 dhugumaan inni guyyaa guutuu, ammumaa amma harka isaa natti deebise.
Surely against me He turneth back, He turneth His hand all the day.
4 Inni foon kootii fi gogaa koo dulloomseera; lafee koo illee caccabseera.

He hath hedged my ways with hewn work, My paths He hath made crooked.
10 Inni akkuma amaaketa riphee waa eeggatuu, akkuma leenca dhokatee jiruu
A bear lying in wait He [is] to me, A lion in secret hiding-places.
11 daandii irraa na harkisee na ciccire; kophaatti na gate.
My ways He is turning aside, and He pulleth me in pieces, He hath made me a desolation.
12 Inni iddaa isaa luqqifatee xiyya isaa natti qabe.

I have been a derision to all my people, Their song all the day.
15 Inni waan hadhaaʼaa na nyaachise; hadhooftuu illee na quubse.
He hath filled me with bitter things, He hath filled me [with] wormwood.
16 Inni dhagaadhaan ilkaan koo cabse; awwaara keessattis na dhidhiite.
And He breaketh with gravel my teeth, He hath covered me with ashes.
17 Ani nagaa nan dhabe; gammachuun maal akka taʼes nan irraanfadhe.
And Thou castest off from peace my soul, I have forgotten prosperity.
18 Kanaafuu ani “Ulfinni koo, abdiin ani Waaqayyo irraa qabu hundinuu badeera” nan jedhe.
And I say, Perished hath my strength and my hope from Jehovah.

Remember well, and bow down doth my soul in me.
21 Taʼus ani waan kana nan qalbeeffadha; kanaafuu ani abdii qaba.
This I turn to my heart — therefore I hope.
22 Nu sababii jaalala Waaqayyoo guddaa sanaatiif hin badnu; gara laafinni isaa hin dhumuutii.
The kindnesses of Jehovah! For we have not been consumed, For not ended have His mercies.
23 Isaan ganama hunda haaraa dha; amanamummaan kees guddaa dha.
