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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David.] How long, YHWH? 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 shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart every day? How long shall my enemy triumph over me?

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

Look, and answer me, YHWH, 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 prevailed against him," and my adversaries rejoice when I fall.

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

But I trust in your loving kindness. My heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.

I will sing to YHWH, because he has dealt bountifully with me, and I will sing to the name of YHWH Most High.
