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.
A Prayer of the afflicted, when he fainteth, and poureth out his complaint before the LORD. O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto Thee.
2 Yeroo ani dhiphadhetti, fuula kee na duraa hin dhoksin. Gurra kee gara kootti deebisi; yommuu ani si waammadhu dafiitii deebii naa kenni.
Hide not Thy face from me in the day of my distress; incline Thine ear unto me; in the day when I call answer me speedily.
3 Barri koo akkuma aaraatti ni badaatii; lafeen koos akkuma barbadaa ibiddaa bobaʼaa jira.
For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a hearth.
4 Garaan koo dhukkubsatee akkuma margaa coollageera; ani nyaata koo nyaachuu irraanfadheera.
My heart is smitten like grass, and withered; for I forget to eat my bread.
5 Sababii ani guddisee aaduuf, lafeen koo gogaa kootti maxxaneera.
By reason of the voice of my sighing my bones cleave to my flesh.
6 Ani akka urunguu gammoojjii, akka urunguu lafa barbadaaʼe keessaa nan taʼe.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am become as an owl of the waste places.
7 Ani hirriba malee nan bula; akka simbirroo kophaa ishee guutuu manaa irra jirtuus taʼeera.
I watch, and am become like a sparrow that is alone upon the housetop.
8 Diinonni koo guyyaa guutuu na arrabsu; warri natti qoosanis abaarsaaf maqaa kootti fayyadamu.
Mine enemies taunt me all the day; they that are mad against me do curse by me.
9 Ani akkuma buddeenaatti daaraa nyaadheeraattii; dhugaatii koottis imimmaan makadheera;
For I have eaten 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 Thine indignation and Thy wrath; for Thou hast taken me up, and cast me away.
11 Barri koo akkuma gaaddidduu galgalaa ti; anis akkuma margaa gogeera.
My days are like a lengthening 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, sittest enthroned for ever; and Thy name is unto all generations.
13 Ati kaatee Xiyooniif garaa ni laafta; yeroon itti isheen fudhatama argachuu qabdu ammumaatii; yeroon murteeffame sun gaʼeeraa.
Thou wilt arise, and have compassion upon Zion; for it is time to be gracious unto her, for the appointed time is come.
14 Garboonni kee dhagaa isheetti gammaduutii; biyyoo ishees ni mararfatu.
For Thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and love her dust.
15 Saboonni maqaa Waaqayyoo ni sodaatu; mootonni lafaa hundinuus ulfina kee ni kabaju.
So the nations will fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory;
16 Waaqayyo deebisee Xiyoonin ijaaraatii; ulfina isaatiinis ni mulʼata.
When the LORD hath built up Zion, when He hath appeared in His glory;
17 Inni kadhannaa gadadamtootaa ni dhagaʼa; waammata isaaniis hin tuffatu.
When He hath regarded the prayer of the destitute, and hath not despised their prayer.
18 Akka sabni hamma ammaatti hin dhalatin Waaqayyoon galateeffatuuf, wanni kun akkana jedhamee dhaloota dhufuuf haa barreeffamu:
This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people which shall be created shall praise the LORD.
19 “Waaqayyo iddoo qulqullummaa isaa gubbaa irraa gad ilaale; samii irraas gara lafaa gad milʼate;
For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth;
20 kanas aaduu warra hidhamanii dhagaʼuu fi warra duuti itti murame baasuudhaaf hojjete.”
To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;
21 Akkasiin maqaan Waaqayyoo Xiyoon keessatti, galanni isaas Yerusaalem keessatti ni labsama;
That men may tell of the name of the LORD in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem;
22 kunis yommuu saboonnii fi mootummoonni, Waaqayyoon waaqeffachuuf walitti qabamanitti taʼa.
When the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the LORD.
23 Inni jabina koo karaatti hambise; umurii koos ni gabaabse.
He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days.
24 Anis akkanan jedhe: “Yaa Waaqa ko, walakkaa umurii kootti na hin fudhatin; waggoonni kee dhalootaa hamma dhaloota hundaatti itti fufu.
I say: 'O my God, take me not away in the midst of my days, Thou whose years endure throughout all generations.
25 Ati jalqabatti lafa hundeessite; samiiwwanis hojii harka keetii ti.
Of old Thou didst lay the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the work 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 shalt endure; yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt Thou change them, and they shall pass away;
27 Ati garuu sanuma; umuriin kees gonkumaa dhuma hin qabu.
But Thou art the selfsame, and Thy years shall have no end.
28 Ijoolleen garboota keetii sodaa malee jiraatu; sanyiin isaaniis fuula kee dura jiraata.”
The children of Thy servants shall dwell securely, and their seed shall be established before Thee.'
