Faarfannaa 101

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

A Psalm of David. I will sing to you, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

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

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When will you come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

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

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

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

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

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.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbor, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

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

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

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

The proud doer lived not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

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

Early did I kill all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
