Faarfannaa 10
1 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati maaliif achi fagaattee dhaabatta? Yeroo rakkinaattis maaliif of dhoksita?
Why, Yahweh, do you stand far off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2 Namni hamaan of tuulummaa isaatiin hiyyeessa adamsa; inni maluma malatuun haa qabamu.
Because of their arrogance, wicked people chase the oppressed; but please let the wicked be trapped by their own schemes that they have devised.
3 Namni hamaan hawwii isaatiin of jaja; ofittoo ni eebbisa; Waaqayyoon immoo ni arrabsa.
For the wicked person boasts of his deepest desires; he blesses the greedy and insults Yahweh.
4 Namni hamaan sababii of tuuluuf Waaqa hin barbaadu; yaada isaa hundumaa keessas Waaqni hin jiru.
The wicked man has a raised face; he does not seek God. He never thinks about God because he does not care at all about him.
5 Karaan isaa yeroo hunda ni milkaaʼaaf; inni of tuula; seerri kees isa irraa fagoo dha; diinota isaa hundattis tuffiidhaan qummaada.
He is secure at all times, but your righteous decrees are too high for him; he snorts at all his enemies.
6 Innis, “Wanni na sochoosu hin jiru; rakkinnis gonkumaa na hin argatu” ofiin jedha.
He says in his heart,” I will never fail; throughout all generations I will not meet adversity.”
7 Afaan isaa abaarsaan, sobaa fi doorsisaan guutameera; dabaa fi hamminni arraba isaa jala jiru.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceptive, harmful words; his tongue injures and destroys.
8 Inni gandoota keessatti riphee eeggata; iddoo dhokataattis warra yakka hin qabne ajjeesa. Ija isaatiinis hiyyeeyyii gaada.
He waits in ambush near the villages; in the secret places he murders the innocent; his eyes look for some helpless victim.
9 Akka leenca daggala isaa keessaatti riphee eeggata. Hiyyeessa qabachuudhaaf dhokatee eeggata; hiyyeessas qabatee kiyyoo isaatiin harkifata.
He lurks in secret like a lion in the thicket; he lies in wait to catch the oppressed. He catches the oppressed when he pulls in his net.
10 Hiyyeessi sunis ni caccaba; gad of qabas; humna nama hamaa jalattis ni kufa.
His victims are crushed and beaten down; they fall into his strong nets.
11 Innis, “Waaqa irraanfateera; fuula isaas dhokfateera; gonkumaa hin argu” ofiin jedha.
He says in his heart, “God has forgotten; he covers his face; he will not bother to look.”
12 Yaa Waaqayyo kaʼi! Yaa Waaqi harka kee ol kaafadhu. Rakkataas hin dagatin.
Arise, Yahweh! Lift up your hand, God! Do not forget the oppressed.
13 Namni hamaan maaliif Waaqa arrabsa? Maaliifis garaa isaatti, “Inni waan kanatti na hin gaafatu” jedha?
Why does the wicked man reject God and say in his heart, “You will not hold me accountable”?
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.
You have taken notice, for you always see the one who inflicts the misery and sorrow. The helpless entrusts himself to you; you rescue the fatherless.
15 Irree nama hamaatii fi jalʼaa cabsi; hamma hamminni isaa dhumee dhabamutti, hammina isaatti isa gaafadhu.
Break the arm of the wicked and evil man. Make him account for his evil deeds, which he thought you would not discover.
16 Waaqayyo bara baraa hamma bara baraatti Mootii dha; ormoonni lafa isaa irraa ni barbadaaʼu.
Yahweh is King forever and ever; the nations are driven out of his land.
17 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati hawwii rakkattootaa ni dhageessa; isaan jajjabeessita; iyya isaanii illee ni dhaggeeffatta;
Yahweh, you have heard the needs of the oppressed; you strengthen their heart, you listen to their prayer;
18 kunis akka namni biyyoo irraa uumame siʼachi isaan hin cunqursineef ati ijoollee abbaa hin qabnee fi cunqurfamtootaaf akka dhaabattuuf.
You defend the fatherless and the oppressed so that no man on the earth will cause terror again.
