Faarfannaa 139
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na qorteerta; na beekteertas.
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. O LORD, Thou hast searched me, and known me.
2 Ati yeroo ani gad taaʼuu fi yeroo ani ol kaʼu ni beekta; yaada koos fagootti hubatta.
Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, Thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Deemuu koo fi ciisuu koo addaan baaftee beekta; karaa koo hundas beekta.
Thou measurest my going about and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 Yaa Waaqayyo, akka dubbiin tokko iyyuu arraba koo hin jirre, ati guutumaan guutuutti ni beekta.
For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.
5 Ati duraa fi duubaan na marsiteerta; harka kees narra keesseerta.
Thou hast hemmed me in behind and before, and laid Thy hand upon me.
6 Beekumsi akkanaa anaaf akka malee dinqii dha; hubachuufis akka malee narraa fagoo dha.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; too high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Hafuura kee biraa ani eessa dhaquun dandaʼa? Fuula kee duraas ani eessatti baqachuun dandaʼa?
Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence?
8 Yoo ani samiiwwanitti ol baʼe, ati achi jirta; yoo ani siree koo siiʼool keessa dhaabbadhes, achis ni jirta. (Sheol h7585)
If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there; if I make my bed in the nether-world, behold, Thou art there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Yoo ani qoochoo ganamaatiin barrisee qarqara galaanaa fagoo irra qubadhe,
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
10 achittis harki kee karaa na argisiisa; harki kee mirgaas jabeessee na qaba.
Even there would Thy hand lead me, and Thy right hand would hold me.
11 Yoo ani, “Dhugumaan dukkanni na dhoksa; ifnis naannoo kootti halkan taʼa” jedhe,
And if I say: 'Surely the darkness shall envelop me, and the light about me shall be night';
12 dukkanni iyyuu siif dukkana hin taʼu; halkanis akkuma guyyaa ifa; dukkanni siif akkuma ifaatii.
Even the darkness is not too dark for Thee, but the night shineth as the day; the darkness is even as the light.
13 Ati namummaa koo isa keessaa uumteertaatii; gadameessa haadha koo keessattis na tolchite.
For Thou hast made my reins; Thou hast knit me together in 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 thanks unto Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
15 Yeroo ani iddoo dhoksaatti uumame, lafeen koo si duraa hin dhokanne. Yeroo ani dhidhima lafaa keessatti tolfame,
My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought 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 did see mine unformed substance, and in Thy book they were all written — even the days that were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.
17 Yaa Waaqi, yaada kee hubachuun akkam ulfaata! Baayʼinni isaas akkam guddaa dha!
How weighty also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!
18 Utuu ani isaan lakkaaʼee jiraadhee, silaa lakkoobsi isaanii cirracha irra baayʼata. Ani yeroon dammaqutti, amma iyyuu suma wajjinan jira.
If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand; were I to come to the end of them, I would still be with Thee.
19 Maaloo yaa Waaqi, ati utuu hamoota fixxee! Warri dhiiga namaa dhangalaaftan, narraa fagaadhaa!
If Thou but wouldest slay the wicked, O God — depart from me therefore, ye men of blood;
20 Isaan yaada hamaadhaan waaʼee kee dubbatu; diinonni kee akkasumaan maqaa kee dhaʼu.
Who utter Thy name with wicked thought, they take it for falsehood, even Thine enemies —
21 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani warra si jibban hin jibbuu? Warra sitti kaʼanis hin xireeffadhuu?
Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate Thee? And do not I strive with those that rise up against Thee?
22 Ani hamma dhumaatti isaan jibbeera; akka diina koottis isaan nan heda.
I hate them with utmost hatred; I count them mine enemies.
23 Yaa Waaqi, na sakattaʼi; garaa koos beeki; qoriitii na ilaali; yaada koos beeki.
Search me, O God, and know my heart, try me, and know my thoughts;
24 Yoo karaan hamminaa na keessa jiraate mee ilaali; karaa bara baraa irras na adeemsisi.
And see if there be any way in me that is grievous, and lead me in the way everlasting.
