Faarfannaa 101

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Ani jaalala keetii fi murtii kee qajeelaa sanaaf nan faarfadha; Yaa Waaqayyo ani siif nan faarfadha.

A Psalm by David. I will sing of loving kindness and justice. To you, LORD, I will sing praises.

2 Ani jireenya hirʼina hin qabne jiraachuuf of nan eeggadha; ati yoom gara koo dhufta? Ani garaa qulqulluudhaan, mana koo nan jiraadha.

I will be careful to live a blameless life. When will you come to me? I will walk within my house with a blameless heart.

3 Ani ija koo dura, waan hamaa hin kaaʼu. Hojii jalʼootaa nan jibba; nattis hin qabatu.

I will set no vile thing before my eyes. I hate the deeds of faithless men. They will not cling to me.

4 Namoonni yaada micciiramaa qaban narraa haa fagaatan; ani jalʼina wajjin tokkummaa hin qabaadhu.

A perverse heart will be far from me. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 Nama dhoksaan ollaa isaa hamatu kam iyyuu, ani afaan nan qabachiisa; nama tuffiin nama ilaaluu fi kan garaa of tuulu qabuuf, ani obsa hin qabaadhu.

I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate one who is arrogant and conceited.

6 Akka isaan na wajjin jiraataniif, iji koo amanamoota biyyattii irra jiraatti; namni karaa qajeelaa irra deemu, inni na tajaajila.

My eyes will be on the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me. He who walks in a perfect way, he will serve me.

7 Namni nama gowwoomsu tokko iyyuu mana koo keessa hin jiraatu; namni soba dubbatu tokko iyyuu fuula koo dura hin dhaabatu.

He who practices deceit will not dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood will not be established before my eyes.

8 Ani jalʼoota biyyattii hunda, ganama ganama nan barbadeessa; warra waan hamaa hojjetan magaalaa Waaqayyoo keessaa nan balleessa.

Morning by morning, I will destroy all the wicked of the land, to cut off all the workers of iniquity from the LORD’s city.
