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 of David. How long, Yahweh, will you keep forgetting about me? 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 worry and have grief in my heart all day? How long will 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 at me and answer me, Yahweh my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep in death.

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

Do not let my enemy say, “I have defeated him,” so that my enemy may not say, “I have prevailed over my adversary”; otherwise, my enemies will rejoice when I am brought down.

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

But I have trusted in your covenant faithfulness; my heart rejoices in your salvation.

6 Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.

I will sing to Yahweh because he has treated me very generously.
