Faarfannaa 107
1 Waaqayyoof galata galchaa; inni gaariidhaatii; jaalalli isaa bara baraan jiraata.
“Give thanks to YHWH, For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time”:
2 Warri Waaqayyo isaan fure, warri inni harka diinaatii baase,
Let the redeemed of YHWH say [so], Whom He redeemed from the hand of an adversary.
3 warri inni biyya gara garaatii, baʼaa fi lixa biiftuutii, kaabaa fi kibbaa walitti qabe waan kana haa dubbatan.
And has gathered them from the lands, From east and from west, From north, and from the sea.
4 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko gammoojjii goggogaa keessa jooran; magaalaa keessa jiraachuu dandaʼanis hin arganne.
They wandered in a wilderness, in a desert by the way, They have not found a city of habitation.
5 Isaan ni beelaʼan; ni dheebotanis; lubbuun isaaniis isaan keessatti gaggabde.
Hungry—indeed—thirsty, Their soul becomes feeble in them,
6 Isaan rakkina isaanii keessatti Waaqayyotti iyyatan; innis dhiphina isaanii keessaa isaan baase.
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He delivers them from their distress,
7 Inni hamma isaan magaalaa keessa jiraachuu dandaʼan gaʼanitti karaa qajeelaa irra isaan qajeelche.
And causes them to tread in a right way, To go to a city of habitation.
8 Isaan sababii jaalala isaa kan hin geeddaramne sanaatii fi hojii dinqii kan inni ilmaan namaatiif hojjete sanaatiif Waaqayyoon haa galateeffatan;
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
9 inni warra dheebotan dheebuu baasee warra beelaʼan illee waan gaariidhaan quufsaatii.
For He has satisfied a longing soul, And has filled a hungry soul [with] goodness.
10 Isaan keessaas tokko tokko sibiilaan hidhamanii rakkachaa, dukkanaa fi dimimmisa keessa jiraatan;
Inhabitants of dark places and death-shade, Prisoners of affliction and of iron,
11 isaan dubbii Waaqaatti fincilanii gorsa Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis tuffataniiruutii.
Because they changed the saying of God, And despised the counsel of the Most High.
12 Kanaafuu inni dabarsee hojii dadhabsiisaatti isaan kenne; isaanis ni gufatan; namni isaan gargaaru tokko iyyuu hin argamne.
And He humbles their heart with labor, They have been feeble, and there is no helper.
13 Isaan rakkina isaanii keessatti Waaqayyotti iyyatan; innis dhiphina isaanii keessaa isaan baase.
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses.
14 Inni dukkanaa fi dimimmisa keessaa isaan baase; foncaa isaanis gargar kukkute.
He brings them out from the dark place, And death-shade, And He draws away their bands.
15 Isaan sababii jaalala isaa kan hin geeddaramne sanaatii fi hojii dinqii kan inni ilmaan namaatiif hojjete sanaatiif Waaqayyoon haa galateeffatan;
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men.
16 inni balbalawwan naasii caccabsee danqaraawwan sibiilaa illee kukkutaatii.
For He has broken doors of bronze, And He has cut bars of iron.
17 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko cubbuu mataa isaaniitiin gowwooman; sababii balleessaa isaaniitiifis gadadoo keessa seenan.
Fools, by means of their transgression, And by their iniquities, afflict themselves.
18 Isaan nyaata gosa kamii iyyuu balfanii afaan boolla duʼaa gaʼan.
Their soul detests all food, And they come near to the gates of death,
19 Rakkina isaanii keessatti Waaqayyotti iyyatan; innis dhiphina isaanii keessaa isaan baase.
And cry to YHWH in their adversity, He saves them from their distresses,
20 Inni dubbii isaa ergee isaan fayyise; awwaala keessaas isaan baase.
He sends His word and heals them, And delivers [them] from their destructions.
21 Isaan sababii jaalala isaa kan hin geeddaramne sanaatii fi hojii dinqii kan inni ilmaan namaatiif hojjete sanaatiif, Waaqayyoon haa galateeffatan!
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
22 Aarsaa galataa haa dhiʼeessan; faarfannaa gammachuutiinis hojii isaa haa himan.
And they sacrifice sacrifices of thanksgiving, And recount His works with singing.
23 Isaan keessaa tokko tokko dooniidhaan galaana irra deemanii bishaanota gurguddaa irratti daldalan.
Those going down [to] the sea in ships, Doing business in many waters,
24 Isaanis hojii Waaqayyootii fi hojii isaa dinqisiisaa sana tuujuba keessatti argan.
They have seen the works of YHWH, And His wonders in the deep.
25 Inni dubbatee bubbee jabaa dambalii galaanaa ol fuudhu tokko kaaseeraatii.
And He commands, and appoints a storm, And it lifts up its billows,
26 Isaan samiitti ol baʼanii tuujubatti gad buʼan; rakkina isaanii keessattis abdii kutatan.
They go up [to] the heavens, they go down [to] the depths, Their soul is melted in evil.
27 Akka nama machaaʼee daddarbatamanii gatantaran ogummaan isaanis faayidaa dhabe.
They reel to and fro, and move as a drunkard, And all their wisdom is swallowed up.
28 Isaan rakkina isaanii keessatti Waaqayyotti iyyatan; innis dhiphina isaanii keessaa isaan baase.
And they cry to YHWH in their adversity, And He brings them out from their distresses.
29 Inni akka dambaliin sun qabbanaaʼuuf dhaʼaa galaanaa calʼisiise.
He calms a whirlwind, And their billows are hushed.
30 Isaan waan dambalii fi dhaʼaan galaanaa sun calʼisaniif ni gammadan; haala kanaanis gara qubata doonii barbaadaniitti isaan geesse.
And they rejoice because they are quiet, And He leads them to the haven of their desire.
31 Isaan sababii jaalala isaa kan hin geeddaramne sanaatii fi hojii dinqii kan inni ilmaan namaatiif hojjete sanaatiif Waaqayyoon haa galateeffatan.
They confess to YHWH His kindness, And His wonders to the sons of men,
32 Waldaa namootaa keessatti isa haa leellisan; wal gaʼii maanguddootaa keessattis isa haa jajan.
And they exalt Him in [the] assembly of [the] people, And praise Him in [the] seat of [the] elderly.
33 Innis lagoota gammoojjii taasisee burqaawwan bishaanis gara lafa goggogaatti geeddare;
He makes rivers become a wilderness, And fountains of waters become dry land.
34 sababii hammina warra achi jiraataniitiif, biyya midhaan baasu lafa soogiddaa taasise.
A fruitful land becomes a barren place, For the wickedness of its inhabitants.
35 Gammoojjii kuusaa bishaaniitti, lafa goggogaa immoo burqaa bishaaniitti geeddare;
He makes a wilderness become a pool of water, And a dry land become fountains of waters.
36 inni akka warri beelaʼan achi jiraatan godhe; isaanis magaalaa keessa jiraatan ijaarratan.
And He causes the hungry to dwell there, And they prepare a city of habitation.
37 Lafa qotiisaa isaanii facaafatanii wayiniis ni dhaabbatan; midhaan gaariis argatan.
And they sow fields, and plant vineyards, And they make fruits of increase.
38 Inni isaan eebbise; baayʼina isaaniis akka malee dabale; akka loon isaanii lakkoobsaan yarachaa deeman hin goone.
And He blesses them, and they multiply exceedingly, And He does not diminish their livestock.
39 Yeroo isaan cunqursaadhaan, rakkinaa fi gaddaan xinnaatanii gad deebiʼanitti,
And they are diminished, and bow down, By restraint, evil, and sorrow.
40 inni namoota bebeekamoo irratti tuffii roobsee akka isaan gammoojjii karaa hin qabne keessa jooran godhe.
He is pouring contempt on nobles, And causes them to wander in vacancy—no way.
41 Inni garuu rakkattoota dhiphina isaanii keessaa baase; maatii isaanis akkuma bushaayee baayʼise.
And sets the needy on high from affliction, And places families as a flock.
42 Qajeeltonni waan kana arganii ililchu; hamoonni hundinuu garuu afaan qabatu.
The upright see and rejoice, And all perversity has shut her mouth.
43 Ogeessi kam iyyuu waan kana yaadatti haa qabatu; jaalala Waaqayyoo kan dhuma hin qabne sana illee haa hubatu.
Who [is] wise, and observes these? They understand the kind acts of YHWH!
