Faarfannaa 108

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, garaan koo hin raafamu; ani nan faarfadha; lubbuu koo guutuudhaanis sin galateeffadha.

“A song or psalm of David.” My heart is firm, O God; I will sing and give praise, even with my spirit.

2 Yaa kiraaraa fi baganaa dammaqaa! Anis ganamaan nan dammaqa.

Awake, psaltery and harp: I will wake up the morning-dawn.

3 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti galata siif nan galcha; namoota gidduuttis waaʼee kee nan faarfadha.

I will give thee thanks among the people, O Lord: and I will sing praises unto thee among the nations.

4 Jaalalli kee guddaa dha; samiiwwanis caalaa ol dheeraadhaatii; amanamummaan kees samiiwwan qaqqaba.

For great above the heavens is thy kindness, and thy truth reacheth even unto the skies.

5 Yaa Waaqi, ati samiiwwaniin olitti ol ol jedhi; ulfinni kees lafa hunda irra haa jiraatu.

Exalt thyself above the heavens, O God; and above all the earth thy glory.

6 Akka warri ati jaallattu furamaniif, harka kee mirgaatiin nu oolchi; nu gargaaris;

In order that thy beloved may be delivered: help with thy right hand, and answer me.

7 Waaqni iddoo qulqullummaa isaatii akkana jedhee dubbateera: “Ani gammachuudhaan Sheekemin gargar nan qooda; Sulula Sukootis nan safara.

God hath spoken in his holiness: I will exult, I will divide Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will I measure out.

8 Giliʼaad kan koo ti; Minaaseenis kan koo ti; Efreem gonfoo sibiilaa koo ti; Yihuudaanis bokkuu mootummaa koo ti.

Mine id Gil'ad, and mine is Menasseh; Ephraim also is the strong-hold of my head; of Judah are my chiefs.

9 Moʼaab caabii dhiqannaa koo ti; Edoom irra kophee koo darbadhee nan buusa; Filisxeem irrattis moʼannaadhaan nan geerara.”

Moab is my washpot; upon Edom will I cast my shoe; over Philistia will I triumph.

10 Eenyutu magaalaa jabeeffamtee ijaaramtetti na fida? Eenyutu Edoomitti na geessa?

Who will bring me into the fortified city? who will lead me as far as Edom?

11 Yaa Waaqi kan nu gatte, kan loltoota keenya wajjin baʼuu diddes suma mitii?

Behold, it is thou, O God, who hast cast us off; and thou, O God, goest not forth with our armies.

12 Diina keenya of irraa dhowwuu nu gargaar, gargaarsi namaa faayidaa hin qabuutii.

Give us help against the assailant; for vain is the help of man.

13 Nu Waaqa wajjin ni moʼanna; innis diinota keenya gad dhidhiita.

Through God shall we do valiantly; for he it is that will tread down our adversaries.
