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 won't tolerate one who is haughty 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 won't dwell within my house. He who speaks falsehood won't 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 evildoers from the LORD's city.
