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?

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me?

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

How long must I wrestle in my soul, with sorrow in my heart each day? How long will my enemy dominate me?

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

Consider me and respond, O LORD my God. Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep in death,

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

lest my enemy say, “I have overcome him,” and my foes rejoice when I fall.

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

But I have trusted in Your loving devotion; my heart will rejoice in Your salvation.

6 Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.

I will sing to the LORD, for He has been good to me.
