Faarfannaa 10
1 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati maaliif achi fagaattee dhaabatta? Yeroo rakkinaattis maaliif of dhoksita?
Why standest thou afar off, O Lord? [why] dost thou overlook [us] in times of need, in affliction?
2 Namni hamaan of tuulummaa isaatiin hiyyeessa adamsa; inni maluma malatuun haa qabamu.
While the ungodly one acts proudly, the poor is hotly pursued: [the wicked] are taken in the crafty counsels which they imagine.
3 Namni hamaan hawwii isaatiin of jaja; ofittoo ni eebbisa; Waaqayyoon immoo ni arrabsa.
Because the sinner praises himself for the desires of his heart; and the unjust one blesses himself.
4 Namni hamaan sababii of tuuluuf Waaqa hin barbaadu; yaada isaa hundumaa keessas Waaqni hin jiru.
The sinner has provoked the Lord: according to the abundance of his pride he will not seek after [him]: God is not before him.
5 Karaan isaa yeroo hunda ni milkaaʼaaf; inni of tuula; seerri kees isa irraa fagoo dha; diinota isaa hundattis tuffiidhaan qummaada.
His ways are profane at all times; thy judgments are removed from before him: he will gain the mastery over all his enemies.
6 Innis, “Wanni na sochoosu hin jiru; rakkinnis gonkumaa na hin argatu” ofiin jedha.
For he has said in his heart, I shall not be moved, [continuing] without evil from generation to generation.
7 Afaan isaa abaarsaan, sobaa fi doorsisaan guutameera; dabaa fi hamminni arraba isaa jala jiru.
Whose mouth is full of cursing, and bitterness, and fraud: under his tongue are trouble and pain.
8 Inni gandoota keessatti riphee eeggata; iddoo dhokataattis warra yakka hin qabne ajjeesa. Ija isaatiinis hiyyeeyyii gaada.
He lies in wait with rich [men] in secret places, in order to slay the innocent: his eyes are set against the poor.
9 Akka leenca daggala isaa keessaatti riphee eeggata. Hiyyeessa qabachuudhaaf dhokatee eeggata; hiyyeessas qabatee kiyyoo isaatiin harkifata.
He lies in wait in secret as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to ravish the poor, to ravish the poor when he draws him [after him]: he will bring him down in his snare.
10 Hiyyeessi sunis ni caccaba; gad of qabas; humna nama hamaa jalattis ni kufa.
He will bow down and fall when he has mastered the poor.
11 Innis, “Waaqa irraanfateera; fuula isaas dhokfateera; gonkumaa hin argu” ofiin jedha.
For he has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he has turned away his face so as never to look.
12 Yaa Waaqayyo kaʼi! Yaa Waaqi harka kee ol kaafadhu. Rakkataas hin dagatin.
Arise, O Lord God; let thy hand be lifted up: forget not the poor.
13 Namni hamaan maaliif Waaqa arrabsa? Maaliifis garaa isaatti, “Inni waan kanatti na hin gaafatu” jedha?
Wherefore, has the wicked provoked God? for he has said in his heart, He will not require [it].
14 Yaa Waaqi, ati garuu rakkinaa fi gadda warra miidhamanii ni argita; harka keetiinis gatii baasifta. Deegaan dabarsee sitti of kenna; ati ijoollee abbaa hin qabneef gargaaraa dha.
Thou seest [it]; for thou dost observe trouble and wrath, to deliver them into thy hands: the poor has been left to thee; thou wast a helper to the orphan.
15 Irree nama hamaatii fi jalʼaa cabsi; hamma hamminni isaa dhumee dhabamutti, hammina isaatti isa gaafadhu.
Break thou the arm of the sinner and wicked man: his sin shall be sought for, and shall not be found.
16 Waaqayyo bara baraa hamma bara baraatti Mootii dha; ormoonni lafa isaa irraa ni barbadaaʼu.
The Lord shall reign for ever, even for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish out his land.
17 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati hawwii rakkattootaa ni dhageessa; isaan jajjabeessita; iyya isaanii illee ni dhaggeeffatta;
The Lord has heard the desire of the poor: thine ear has inclined to the preparation of their heart;
18 kunis akka namni biyyoo irraa uumame siʼachi isaan hin cunqursineef ati ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi cunqurfamtootaaf akka dhaabattuuf.
to plead for the orphan and afflicted, that man may no more boast upon the earth.
