Faarfannaa 120

1 Faarfannaa Ol baʼuu. Ani rakkina koo keessatti Waaqayyotti nan iyyadha; innis deebii naa kenna.

[the] song of The ascents to Yahweh in distress of me I called out and he answered me.

2 Yaa Waaqayyo, afaan sobuu fi arraba nama gowwoomsu jalaa na baasi.

O Yahweh deliver! self my from a lip of falsehood from a tongue deceit.

3 Yaa arraba gowwoomsituu nana, maaltu siif kennama? Kana caalaas maal godhamta?

What? will anyone give to you and what? will anyone add to you O tongue deceit.

4 Inni xiyya loltootaa kan qarameen, barbadaa ibiddaa qacamaatiin si adaba.

Arrows of a warrior sharpened with burning coals of broom plants.

5 Ani waanan Meshek keessa taaʼee dunkaanota Qeedaar gidduu jiraadhuuf, anaaf wayyoo!

Woe! to me that I have sojourned Meshech I have dwelt with [the] tents of Kedar.

6 Warra nagaa jibban gidduu, ani yeroo dheeraa jiraadheera.

Much it has dwelt itself self my with [one who] hates peace.

7 Ani nama nagaa barbaadu dha; isaan garuu yeroo ani dubbadhu lolaaf kakaʼan.

I [am] peace and that I speak they [are] for war.
