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. Prepared is my heart, O God, I sing, yea, I sing praise, also my honour.

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

Awake, psaltery and harp, I awake the dawn.

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

I thank Thee among peoples, O Jehovah, And I praise 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 unto the clouds Thy truth.

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

Be Thou exalted above the heavens, O God, And above all the earth Thy honour.

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

That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.

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 exult, I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,

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, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,

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

Moab [is] a pot for my washing, Upon Edom I cast my shoe, Over Philistia I shout habitually.

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

Who doth bring me in to the fenced city? Who hath led me unto Edom?

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

Hast not Thou, O God, cast us off? And Thou goest not out, O God, with our hosts!

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

Give to us help from adversity, And vain is the salvation of man.

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

In God we do mightily, And He doth tread down our adversaries!
