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.

“To the chief musician, by David.” The worthless fool saith in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they are abominable [in their] doings, there is none that doth good.

2 Waaqayyo yoo namni waa hubatu, kan Waaqas barbaadu, tokko iyyuu jiraate arguuf jedhee, samii irraa ilmaan namootaa gad ilaala.

The Lord looketh down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there be one intelligent, one who seeketh for 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 altogether become corrupt: there is none that doth good, no, not even one.

4 Warri hammina hojjetan kanneen akkuma waan buddeena nyaataniitti saba koo nyaatan, warri Waaqayyoon hin waammanne hundinuu homaa hin beekanii?

Is there no knowledge in all the workers of wickedness? who eat up my people as they eat bread; [while] they do not call on the Lord.

5 Isaan sodaadhaan liqimfamaniiru; Waaqni dhaloota qajeeltotaa wajjin jiraatii.

There are they terrified in terror; for God is with the righteous generation:

6 Isin jalʼoonni karoora hiyyeeyyii jalaa fashaleessitu; Waaqayyo garuu daʼoo isaanii ti.

The counsel of the poor [though] you put to shame; because the Lord is his protection.

7 Maaloo utuu Xiyoon keessaa fayyinni Israaʼeliif dhufee! Yommuu Waaqayyo saba isaa warra boojiʼaman deebisutti, Yaaqoob haa ililchu; Israaʼelis haa gammadu!

Oh that some one might bring the salvation of Israel out of Zion! When the Lord bringeth back the captivity of his people, then will Jacob be glad, and Israel will rejoice.
