Faarfannaa 102
1 Kadhannaa Namni Dhiphate Tokko Faaruu Booʼichaa Faarsee Fuula Waaqayyoo Duratti Dhiʼeeffatu. Yaa Waaqayyo, kadhannaa koo naa dhagaʼi; iyyi ani gargaarsaaf iyyadhus si bira haa gaʼu.
The prayer of the poor man, when he was anxious, and poured out his supplication before the Lord. Hear, O Lord, my prayer: and let my cry come to thee.
2 Yeroo ani dhiphadhetti, fuula kee na duraa hin dhoksin. Gurra kee gara kootti deebisi; yommuu ani si waammadhu dafiitii deebii naa kenni.
Turn not away thy face from me: in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me. In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me speedily.
3 Barri koo akkuma aaraatti ni badaatii; lafeen koos akkuma barbadaa ibiddaa bobaʼaa jira.
For my days are vanished like smoke: and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
4 Garaan koo dhukkubsatee akkuma margaa coollageera; ani nyaata koo nyaachuu irraanfadheera.
I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: because I forgot to eat my bread.
5 Sababii ani guddisee aaduuf, lafeen koo gogaa kootti maxxaneera.
Through the voice of my groaning, my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
6 Ani akka urunguu gammoojjii, akka urunguu lafa barbadaaʼe keessaa nan taʼe.
I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: I am like a night raven in the house.
7 Ani hirriba malee nan bula; akka simbirroo kophaa ishee guutuu manaa irra jirtuus taʼeera.
I have watched, and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
8 Diinonni koo guyyaa guutuu na arrabsu; warri natti qoosanis abaarsaaf maqaa kootti fayyadamu.
All the day long my enemies reproached me: and they that praised me did swear against me.
9 Ani akkuma buddeenaatti daaraa nyaadheeraattii; dhugaatii koottis imimmaan makadheera;
For I did eat ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping.
10 kunis sababii aarii fi dheekkamsa keetiitiif natti dhufe; ati ol na fuutee gad na darbatteertaatii.
Because of thy anger and indignation: for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
11 Barri koo akkuma gaaddidduu galgalaa ti; anis akkuma margaa gogeera.
My days have declined like a shadow, and I am withered like grass.
12 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati bara baraan teessoo irra jirta; yaadannoon kees dhaloota hundatti darba.
But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: and thy memorial to all generations.
13 Ati kaatee Xiyooniif garaa ni laafta; yeroon itti isheen fudhatama argachuu qabdu ammumaatii; yeroon murteeffame sun gaʼeeraa.
Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
14 Garboonni kee dhagaa isheetti gammaduutii; biyyoo ishees ni mararfatu.
For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
15 Saboonni maqaa Waaqayyoo ni sodaatu; mootonni lafaa hundinuus ulfina kee ni kabaju.
And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
16 Waaqayyo deebisee Xiyoonin ijaaraatii; ulfina isaatiinis ni mulʼata.
For the Lord hath built up Sion: and he shall be seen in his glory.
17 Inni kadhannaa gadadamtootaa ni dhagaʼa; waammata isaaniis hin tuffatu.
He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: and he hath not despised their petition.
18 Akka sabni hamma ammaatti hin dhalatin Waaqayyoon galateeffatuuf, wanni kun akkana jedhamee dhaloota dhufuuf haa barreeffamu:
Let these things be written unto another generation: and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
19 “Waaqayyo iddoo qulqullummaa isaa gubbaa irraa gad ilaale; samii irraas gara lafaa gad milʼate;
Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
20 kanas aaduu warra hidhamanii dhagaʼuu fi warra duuti itti murame baasuudhaaf hojjete.”
That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: that he might release the children of the slain:
21 Akkasiin maqaan Waaqayyoo Xiyoon keessatti, galanni isaas Yerusaalem keessatti ni labsama;
That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: and his praise in Jerusalem;
22 kunis yommuu saboonnii fi mootummoonni, Waaqayyoon waaqeffachuuf walitti qabamanitti taʼa.
When the people assemble together, and kings, to serve the Lord.
23 Inni jabina koo karaatti hambise; umurii koos ni gabaabse.
He answered him in the way of his strength: Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
24 Anis akkanan jedhe: “Yaa Waaqa ko, walakkaa umurii kootti na hin fudhatin; waggoonni kee dhalootaa hamma dhaloota hundaatti itti fufu.
Call me not away in the midst of my days: thy years are unto generation and generation.
25 Ati jalqabatti lafa hundeessite; samiiwwanis hojii harka keetii ti.
In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
26 Isaan ni badu; ati garuu ni jiraatta; hundumti isaanii akkuma wayyaa ni dhumu. Ati akkuma uffataa isaan geeddarta; isaanis ni badu.
They shall perish but thou remainest: and all of them shall grow old like a garment: And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed.
27 Ati garuu sanuma; umuriin kees gonkumaa dhuma hin qabu.
But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
28 Ijoolleen garboota keetii sodaa malee jiraatu; sanyiin isaaniis fuula kee dura jiraata.”
The children of thy servants shall continue: and their seed shall be directed for ever.
