< Faarfannaa 12 >

1 Dura buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan akka sirna Shamiiniitiitti faarfatamu. Yaa Waaqayyo, namni Waaqa sodaatu hin jiruutii ati na gargaar; ilmaan namaa keessaas namni amanamu dhabameeraatii.
For the Leader; on the Sheminith. A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2 Namni hundinuu ollaa isaatti soba dubbata; isaan nama saadanii garaa lamaan dubbatu.
They speak falsehood every one with his neighbour; with flattering lip, and with a double heart, do they speak.
3 Waaqayyo afaan nama saadu hunda, arraba of tuulu hundas haa kukkutu;
May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!
4 isaanis, “Nu arraba keenyaan ni moona; hidhiin keenyas keenyuma; eenyutu nurratti gooftummaa qaba?” jedhu.
Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'
5 Waaqayyo, “Ani sababii hacuucamuu hiyyeeyyiitiif, sababii aaduu rakkattootaatiifis amma nan kaʼa. Nagaa isaan hawwan keessas isaan nan jiraachisa” jedha.
'For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise', saith the LORD; 'I will set him in safety at whom they puff.'
6 Dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu; innis akka meetii boolla ibiddaa keessatti baqfamee yeroo torba qulqulleeffamee ti.
The words of the LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a crucible on the earth, refined seven times.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo ati nu eegda; dhaloota akkanaa irraas bara baraan nu oolchita.
Thou wilt keep them, O LORD; Thou wilt preserve us from this generation for ever.
8 Yeroo wanni faayidaa hin qabne ilmaan namaa gidduutti kabajamutti hamoonni of dhiibuudhaan kallattii hundaan asii fi achi naannaʼu.
The wicked walk on every side, when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.
