Faarfannaa 109
1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqa ani galateeffadhu ati hin calʼisin;
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 namoonni hamoonnii fi gowwoomsitoonni, afaan isaanii natti banatanii jiruutii; isaan arraba sobaatiin maqaa na balleessaniiru.
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 Isaan dubbii jibbaatiin na marsan; sababii tokko malees na lolan.
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 Utuma ani isaan jaalladhuu na himatan; ani garuu nan kadhadha.
For my love they are my 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 thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 Yommuu qoratamutti isatti haa muramu; kadhannaan isaas cubbuu isatti haa taʼu.
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 Umuriin isaa haa gabaabbatu, aangoo isaa namni biraa haa fudhatu.
Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.
9 Ijoolleen isaa abbaa malee haa hafan; niitiin isaas haadha hiyyeessaa haa taatu.
Let his children 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 children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of 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 extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil 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 mercy 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; [and] 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 the LORD; 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 the LORD 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 that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 Inni abaaruu jaallate; abaarsi sun isumatti haa deebiʼu; inni eebbisuu hin jaallanne; eebbis isa irraa haa fagaatu.
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 Inni akkuma uffata isaatti abaarsa uffata; abaarsis akkuma bishaanii dhagna isaa seena; akkuma zayitiis lafee isaa lixa.
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, 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 the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
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 the LORD, 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, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.
22 Ani hiyyeessaa fi rakkataadhaatii; garaan koos na keessatti madaaʼeera.
For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 Ani akkuma gaaddidduu galgalaa badeera; akkuma hawwaannisaas olii gad oofameera.
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 Jilbi koo soomuudhaan dadhabeera; dhagni koos huqqatee lafeetti baʼeera.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 Ani warra na himatan biratti waan tuffii taʼeera; isaan yommuu na argan mataa isaanii raasu.
I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, na gargaari; akkuma jaalala keetiittis na oolchi.
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
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, LORD, 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 arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Himattoonni koo salphina haa uffatan; akkuma nama waaroo uffatuutti qaaniidhaan haa haguugaman.
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 Ani afaan kootiin guddisee Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; waldaa guddaa gidduuttis isa nan jajadha.
I will greatly praise the LORD 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 shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul.
