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 for David. The fool hath said in his heart: There is no God, They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: there is none that doth good, no not one.
2 Waaqayyo yoo namni waa hubatu, kan Waaqas barbaadu, tokko iyyuu jiraate arguuf jedhee, samii irraa ilmaan namootaa gad ilaala.
The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
3 Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; hundi isaaniis xuraaʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.
They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: there is none that doth good, no not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; the poison of asps is under their lips. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; their feet are swift to shed blood. Destruction and unhappiness 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?
Shall not all they know that work iniquity, who devour my people as they eat bread?
5 Isaan sodaadhaan liqimfamaniiru; Waaqni dhaloota qajeeltotaa wajjin jiraatii.
They have not called upon the Lord: there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
6 Isin jalʼoonni karoora hiyyeeyyii jalaa fashaleessitu; Waaqayyo garuu daʼoo isaanii ti.
For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, but 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 shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
