Faaruu 5
1 Yaa Waaqayyo, waan nurra gaʼe yaadadhu; ilaali; salphina keenyas argi.
Remember, O LORD, what has come upon us: consider, and behold our reproach.
2 Handhuuraan keenya alagootaaf, manneen keenyas Namoota Ormaatiif dabarfamanii kennamaniiru.
Our inheritance is turned to strangers, our houses to aliens.
3 Nu ijoollee abbaa hin qabne taane; haadhonni keenya immoo haadhota hiyyeessaa taʼaniiru.
We are orphans and fatherless, our mothers are as widows.
4 Nu bishaan dhugnuuf kaffaluu qabna turre; qoraan illee bittaa qofaan arganna.
We have drunken our water for money; our wood is sold unto us.
5 Warri nu ariʼan koomee keenya bira jiru; nu dadhabneerra; boqonnaas hin qabnu.
Our necks are under persecution: we labour, and have no rest.
6 Nu buddeena gaʼaa argachuuf jennee warra Gibxittii fi warra Asooritti harka kennine;
We have given the hand to the Egyptians, and to the Assyrians, to be satisfied with bread.
7 Abbootiin keenya cubbuu hojjetanii darban; nu immoo adabbii isaanii baanne.
Our fathers have sinned, and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.
8 Garbootatu nu bulcha; namni harka isaaniitii bilisa nu baasu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
Servants have ruled over us: there is none that does deliver us out of their hand.
9 Sababii goraadee gammoojjii jiruutiin lubbuu keenya balaaf saaxillee buddeena arganna.
We got our bread with the peril of our lives because of the sword of the wilderness.
10 Gogaan keenya sababii beelaatiin akkuma badaa ibiddaa hoʼa.
Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine.
11 Xiyoon keessatti dubartoonni, magaalaawwan Yihuudaa keessattis dubarran qulqulluun humnaan gudeedaman.
They ravished the women in Zion, and the maids in the cities of Judah.
12 Ilmaan moototaa harka isaaniitiin fannifamaniiru; maanguddoonni ulfina hin arganne.
Princes are hanged up by their hand: the faces of elders were not honoured.
13 Gaʼeessonni akka midhaan daakan dirqisiifaman; ijoolleen dhiiraa muka baachuun gatantaran.
They took the young men to grind, and the children fell under the wood.
14 Maanguddoonni karra magaalaa duraa deemaniiru; dargaggoonnis weedduu isaanii dhiisaniiru.
The elders have ceased from the gate, the young men from their music.
15 Gammachuun garaa keenya keessaa badeera; shuubbisuun keenyas booʼichatti geeddarameera.
The joy of our heart is ceased; our dance is turned into mourning.
16 Gonfoon mataa keenya irraa buʼeera. Nuuf wayyoo; nu cubbuu hojjenneerraatii!
The crown is fallen from our head: woe unto us, that we have sinned!
17 Sababii waan kanaatiif onneen keenya ni gaggabe; sababii waan kanaatiif immoo iji keenya dadhabe;
For this our heart is faint; for these things our eyes are dim.
18 Tulluun Xiyoon kan onee hafe sun lafa waangoonni irra burraaqan taʼeeraatii.
Because of the mountain of Zion, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it.
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati bara baraan bulchi; teessoon kees dhalootaa gara dhalootaatti itti fufa.
You, O LORD, remain for ever; your throne from generation to generation.
20 Ati maaliif guutumaan guutuutti nu irraanfatta? Maaliif bara dheeraas nu dhiifta?
Wherefore do you forget us for ever, and forsake us so long time?
21 Yaa Waaqayyo, akka nu deebinuuf ofitti nu deebisi; bara keenya illee akkuma duriitti haaromsi.
Turn you us unto you, O LORD, and we shall be turned; renew our days as of old.
22 Ati yoo guutumaan guutuutti nu gatuu baatte, yoo akka malees nutti dheekkamuu baatte waan kana godhi.
But you have utterly rejected us; you are very angry against us.
