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?

To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. How long, Jehovah, wilt thou forget me for ever? how long wilt 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, with sorrow in my heart daily? how long shall mine 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, answer me, O Jehovah my God! lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the [sleep of] death;

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

Lest mine enemy say, I have prevailed against him! [lest] mine adversaries be joyful when I am moved.

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

As for me, I have confided in thy loving-kindness; my heart shall be joyful in thy salvation.

6 Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.

I will sing unto Jehovah, for he hath dealt bountifully with me.
