Faarfannaa 139
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na qorteerta; na beekteertas.
For the end, a Psalm of David. O Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me.
2 Ati yeroo ani gad taaʼuu fi yeroo ani ol kaʼu ni beekta; yaada koos fagootti hubatta.
Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising: thou understandest my thoughts long before.
3 Deemuu koo fi ciisuu koo addaan baaftee beekta; karaa koo hundas beekta.
Thou hast traced my path and my bed, and hast foreseen all my ways.
4 Yaa Waaqayyo, akka dubbiin tokko iyyuu arraba koo hin jirre, ati guutumaan guutuutti ni beekta.
For there is no unrighteous word in my tongue: behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things,
5 Ati duraa fi duubaan na marsiteerta; harka kees narra keesseerta.
the last and the first: thou hast fashioned me, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Beekumsi akkanaa anaaf akka malee dinqii dha; hubachuufis akka malee narraa fagoo dha.
The knowledge of thee is too wonderful for me; it is very difficult, I cannot [attain] to it.
7 Hafuura kee biraa ani eessa dhaquun dandaʼa? Fuula kee duraas ani eessatti baqachuun dandaʼa?
Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? and whither shall I flee from my presence?
8 Yoo ani samiiwwanitti ol baʼe, ati achi jirta; yoo ani siree koo siiʼool keessa dhaabbadhes, achis ni jirta. (Sheol h7585)
If I should go up to heaven, thou art there: if I should go down to hell, thou art present. (Sheol h7585)
9 Yoo ani qoochoo ganamaatiin barrisee qarqara galaanaa fagoo irra qubadhe,
If I should spread my wings [to fly] straight forward, and sojourn at the extremity of the sea, [it would be vain],
10 achittis harki kee karaa na argisiisa; harki kee mirgaas jabeessee na qaba.
for even there thy hand would guide me, and thy right hand would hold me.
11 Yoo ani, “Dhugumaan dukkanni na dhoksa; ifnis naannoo kootti halkan taʼa” jedhe,
When I said, Surely the darkness will cover me; even the night [was] light in my luxury.
12 dukkanni iyyuu siif dukkana hin taʼu; halkanis akkuma guyyaa ifa; dukkanni siif akkuma ifaatii.
For darkness will not be darkness with thee; but night will be light as day: as its darkness, so shall its light [be to thee].
13 Ati namummaa koo isa keessaa uumteertaatii; gadameessa haadha koo keessattis na tolchite.
For thou, O Lord, hast possessed my reins; thou hast helped me from my mother's womb.
14 Ani sababii haala sodaachisaa fi dinqisiisaadhaan uumameef sin galateeffadha; hojiin kee dinqisiisaa dha; kanas ani akka gaariittan beeka.
I will give thee thanks; for thou art fearfully wondrous; wondrous are thy works; and my soul knows [it] well.
15 Yeroo ani iddoo dhoksaatti uumame, lafeen koo si duraa hin dhokanne. Yeroo ani dhidhima lafaa keessatti tolfame,
My bones, which thou madest in secret were not hidden from thee, nor my substance, in the lowest parts of the earth.
16 iji kee dhagna koo kan hin tolfamin arge. Guyyoonni duraan dursanii naaf murteeffaman hundi utuu hin jiraatin, kitaaba kee keessatti barreeffamaniiru.
Thine eyes saw my unwrought [substance], and all [men] shall be written in thy book; they shall be formed by day, though [there should for a time] be no one among them.
17 Yaa Waaqi, yaada kee hubachuun akkam ulfaata! Baayʼinni isaas akkam guddaa dha!
But thy friends, O God, have been greatly honoured by me; their rule has been greatly strengthened.
18 Utuu ani isaan lakkaaʼee jiraadhee, silaa lakkoobsi isaanii cirracha irra baayʼata. Ani yeroon dammaqutti, amma iyyuu suma wajjinan jira.
I will number them, and they shall be multiplied beyond the sand; I awake, and am still with thee.
19 Maaloo yaa Waaqi, ati utuu hamoota fixxee! Warri dhiiga namaa dhangalaaftan, narraa fagaadhaa!
Oh that thou wouldest slay the wicked, O God; depart from me, ye men of blood.
20 Isaan yaada hamaadhaan waaʼee kee dubbatu; diinonni kee akkasumaan maqaa kee dhaʼu.
For thou wilt say concerning [their] thought, [that] they shall take thy cities in vain.
21 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani warra si jibban hin jibbuu? Warra sitti kaʼanis hin xireeffadhuu?
Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hate thee? and wasted away because of thine enemies?
22 Ani hamma dhumaatti isaan jibbeera; akka diina koottis isaan nan heda.
I have hated them with perfect hatred; they were counted my enemies.
23 Yaa Waaqi, na sakattaʼi; garaa koos beeki; qoriitii na ilaali; yaada koos beeki.
Prove me, O God, and know my heart; examine me, and know my paths;
24 Yoo karaan hamminaa na keessa jiraate mee ilaali; karaa bara baraa irras na adeemsisi.
and see if [there is any] way of iniquity in me, and lead me in an everlasting way.
