Faarfannaa 13

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma yoomiitti? Ati hamma bara baraatti na irraanfattaa? Hamma yoomiittis fuula kee na duraa dhoksita?

How long, O Jehovah? Will thou forget me forever? How long will thou hide thy face from me?

2 Ani hamma yoomiittin rakkina obsee guyyaa guutuu garaa koo keessatti gadda? Hamma yoomiitti diinni koo narra aana?

How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

3 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, na ilaali; deebii illee naa kenni. Akka ani hirriba duʼaa hin rafneefis ija kootiif ifa kenni;

Consider and answer me, O Jehovah my God. Lighten my eyes, lest I sleep the death,

4 diinni koo, “Ani isa moʼadheera” jedha; amajaajiiwwan koos kufaatii kootti gammadu.

lest my enemy say, I have prevailed against him, lest my adversaries rejoice when I am moved.

5 Ani garuu araara kee nan amanadha; garaan koos fayyisuu keetti ni gammada.

But I have trusted in thy loving kindness. My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation.

6 Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.

I will sing to Jehovah because he has dealt bountifully with me.
