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 leader. A psalm of David. How long, 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 nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult over me?

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

Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in death,

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

lest my enemies claim to have triumphed, lest my foes rejoice at my downfall.

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

But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help.

6 Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.

I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
