Faarfannaa 14
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Gowwaan garaa isaatti, “Waaqni hin jiru” jedha. Isaan xuraaʼaniiru; hojiin isaaniis jibbisiisaa dha; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” They were corrupted, and they have become abominable in their studies. There is no one who does good; there is not even one.
2 Waaqayyo yoo namni waa hubatu, kan Waaqas barbaadu, tokko iyyuu jiraate arguuf jedhee, samii irraa ilmaan namootaa gad ilaala.
The Lord has looked down from heaven upon the sons of men, to see if there were any who were considering or seeking God.
3 Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; hundi isaaniis xuraaʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.
They have all gone astray; together they have become useless. There is no one who does good; there is not even one. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongues, they have been acting deceitfully; the venom of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of curses and bitterness. Their feet are swift to shed blood. Grief and unhappiness are in their ways; and the way of peace, they have not known. There is no fear of God before their eyes.
4 Warri hammina hojjetan kanneen akkuma waan buddeena nyaataniitti saba koo nyaatan, warri Waaqayyoon hin waammanne hundinuu homaa hin beekanii?
Will they never learn: all those who work iniquity, who devour my people like a meal of bread?
5 Isaan sodaadhaan liqimfamaniiru; Waaqni dhaloota qajeeltotaa wajjin jiraatii.
They have not called upon the Lord. There, they have trembled in fear, where there was no fear.
6 Isin jalʼoonni karoora hiyyeeyyii jalaa fashaleessitu; Waaqayyo garuu daʼoo isaanii ti.
For the Lord is with the just generation. You have confounded the counsel of the needy because the Lord is his hope.
7 Maaloo utuu Xiyoon keessaa fayyinni Israaʼeliif dhufee! Yommuu Waaqayyo saba isaa warra boojiʼaman deebisutti, Yaaqoob haa ililchu; Israaʼelis haa gammadu!
Who will grant the salvation of Israel from Zion? When the Lord turns away the captivity of his people, Jacob will exult, and Israel will rejoice.
