Faarfannaa 109

1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqa ani galateeffadhu ati hin calʼisin;

To the chief Musician. Of David. A Psalm. O God of my praise, be not silent:

2 namoonni hamoonnii fi gowwoomsitoonni, afaan isaanii natti banatanii jiruutii; isaan arraba sobaatiin maqaa na balleessaniiru.

For the mouth of the wicked [man] and the mouth of deceit are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue,

3 Isaan dubbii jibbaatiin na marsan; sababii tokko malees na lolan.

And with words of hatred have they encompassed me; and they fight against me without a cause.

4 Utuma ani isaan jaalladhuu na himatan; ani garuu nan kadhadha.

For my love they are mine adversaries; but I [give myself unto] prayer.

5 Qooda waan gaarii hammina, qooda jaalala koo immoo jibba naa deebisan.

And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Akka inni isa mormuuf nama itti ramadi; seexannis karaa mirga isaa haa dhaabatu.

Set a wicked [man] over him, and let [the] adversary stand at his right hand;

7 Yommuu qoratamutti isatti haa muramu; kadhannaan isaas cubbuu isatti haa taʼu.

When he shall be judged, let him go out guilty, and let his prayer become sin;

8 Umuriin isaa haa gabaabbatu, aangoo isaa namni biraa haa fudhatu.

Let his days be few, let another take his office;

9 Ijoolleen isaa abbaa malee haa hafan; niitiin isaas haadha hiyyeessaa haa taatu.

Let his sons be fatherless, and his wife a widow;

10 Ijoolleen isaa kadhattoota asii fi achi jooran haa taʼan; mana isaanii diigamaa keessaa illee haa ariʼaman.

Let his sons be vagabonds and beg, and let them seek [their bread] far from their desolate places;

11 Waan inni qabu hunda namni isa irraa liqii qabu haa fudhatu; buʼaa dadhabbii isaa illee karaa adeemtonni haa saaman.

Let the usurer cast the net over all that he hath, and let strangers despoil his labour;

12 Namni tokko iyyuu isaaf hin naʼin, yookaan ijoollee isaa kanneen abbaa hin qabneef garaa hin laafin.

Let there be none to extend kindness unto him, neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children;

13 Sanyiin isaa haa dhumu; maqaan isaanii dhaloota itti aanu keessaa haa balleeffamu.

Let his posterity be cut off; in the generation following let their name be blotted out:

14 Balleessaan abbootii isaa fuula Waaqayyoo duratti haa yaadatamu; cubbuun haadha isaas hin haqamin.

Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with Jehovah, and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out;

15 Akka inni seenaa isaanii lafa irraa balleessuuf, cubbuun isaanii yeroo hunda fuula Waaqayyoo dura haa jiraatu.

Let them be before Jehovah continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth:

16 Inni hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota, warra garaan isaanii madaaʼes hamma duʼaatti gugse malee garaa isaaniif laafuu hin yaadneetii.

Because he remembered not to shew kindness, but persecuted the afflicted and needy man, and the broken in heart, to slay him.

17 Inni abaaruu jaallate; abaarsi sun isumatti haa deebiʼu; inni eebbisuu hin jaallanne; eebbis isa irraa haa fagaatu.

And he loved cursing; so let it come unto him. And he delighted not in blessing; and let it be far from him.

18 Inni akkuma uffata isaatti abaarsa uffata; abaarsis akkuma bishaanii dhagna isaa seena; akkuma zayitiis lafee isaa lixa.

And he clothed himself with cursing like his vestment; so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones;

19 Abaarsi sun akkuma uffata inni ittiin of haguuguu, sabbata inni yeroo hunda hidhatuus isatti haa taʼu.

Let it be unto him as a garment with which he covereth himself, and for a girdle wherewith he is constantly girded.

20 Kaffaltiin Waaqayyo warra na himatanii fi warra jireenya koo irratti waan hamaa dubbataniif kaffalu kanuma haa taʼu.

Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from Jehovah, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati garuu maqaa keetiif jedhii na gargaar; gaarummaa jaalala keetiitiif jedhiitii na oolchi.

But do thou for me, Jehovah, Lord, for thy name's sake; because thy loving-kindness is good, deliver me:

22 Ani hiyyeessaa fi rakkataadhaatii; garaan koos na keessatti madaaʼeera.

For I am afflicted and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 Ani akkuma gaaddidduu galgalaa badeera; akkuma hawwaannisaas olii gad oofameera.

I am gone like a shadow when it lengtheneth; I am tossed about like the locust;

24 Jilbi koo soomuudhaan dadhabeera; dhagni koos huqqatee lafeetti baʼeera.

My knees are failing through fasting, and my flesh hath lost its fatness;

25 Ani warra na himatan biratti waan tuffii taʼeera; isaan yommuu na argan mataa isaanii raasu.

And I am become a reproach unto them; [when] they look upon me they shake their heads.

26 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, na gargaari; akkuma jaalala keetiittis na oolchi.

Help me, Jehovah my God; save me according to thy loving-kindness:

27 Yaa Waaqayyo, akka wanni kun harka kee taʼe, akka ati waan kana hojjette isaan haa beekan.

That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Jehovah, hast done it.

28 Isaan ni abaaru; ati garuu ni eebbifta; yommuu natti kaʼan isaan ni qaanaʼu; tajaajilaan kee garuu ni gammada.

Let them curse, but bless thou; when they rise up, let them be ashamed, and let thy servant rejoice.

29 Himattoonni koo salphina haa uffatan; akkuma nama waaroo uffatuutti qaaniidhaan haa haguugaman.

Let mine adversaries be clothed with confusion, and let them cover themselves with their shame as with a mantle.

30 Ani afaan kootiin guddisee Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; waldaa guddaa gidduuttis isa nan jajadha.

I will greatly celebrate Jehovah with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 Innis warra lubbuu isaatti muran jalaa isa baasuuf jedhee, karaa harka mirga rakkataatiin dhaabataatii.

For he standeth at the right hand of the needy, to save him from those that judge his soul.
