Faarfannaa 108

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

A song. A psalm of David. My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I would sing, I would make music; awake, my soul.

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

Awake, harp and lyre; I would wake the dawn.

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

I would praise you among the peoples, O Lord; make music among the nations to you.

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

For great to heaven is your love, and your faithfulness to the clouds.

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

Be exalted, O God, o’er the heavens, and your glory o’er all the earth.

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

So those you love may be rescued, save by your right hand and answer us.

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

God did solemnly swear: ‘As victor will I divide Shechem, portion out the valley of Succoth.

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

Mine is Gilead, mine is Manasseh, Ephraim is my helmet, Judah my sceptre of rule,

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

Moab the pot that I wash in, on Edom I hurl my sandal, I shout o’er Philistia in triumph.’

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

O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom!

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

Have you not spurned us, O God? You do not march forth with our armies.

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

Grant us help from the foe, for human help is worthless.

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

With God we shall yet do bravely, he himself will tread down our foes.
