Faarfannaa 140
1 Dura Buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, namoota hamoo jalaa na baasi; namoota finciltoota
Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man. Rescue me from the iniquitous leader.
2 warra garaa isaanii keessatti hammina yaadanii guyyaa hunda waraana kaasan narraa eegi.
Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all day long they constructed conflicts.
3 Isaan arraba isaanii akkuma bofaa qaratu; hadhaan buutii hidhii isaanii jala jira.
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent. The venom of asps is under their lips.
4 Yaa Waaqayyo, harka hamootaa narraa eegi; namoota finciltoota warra miilla koo kiyyootti galchuu yaadan jalaa na baasi.
Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner, and rescue me from men of iniquity. They have decided to supplant my steps.
5 Of tuultonni dhoksanii kiyyoo na dura kaaʼaniiru; ribuu kiyyoo isaanii diriirsaniiru; karaa koo irras kiyyoo isaanii kaaʼaniiru.
The arrogant have hidden a snare for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare. They have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
6 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani, “Ati Waaqa koo ti” siin nan jedha. Yaa Waaqayyo, waammata koo dhagaʼi.
I said to the Lord: You are my God. O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, fayyisaa koo jabaa, ati guyyaa waraanaatti gaachana mataa naa taate.
Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.
8 Yaa Waaqayyo, akka fedhiin hamootaa fiixaan baʼu hin godhin; akka isaan of hin tuulleef, akka karoorri isaanii milkaaʼu hin godhin.
O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire. They have plotted against me. Do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
9 Mataan warra na marsanii, hammina afaan isaaniitii baʼuun haa haguugamu.
The head of those who encompass me, the labor of their lips, will overwhelm them.
10 Barbadaan ibiddaa isaan irra haa buʼu; isaan ibiddatti illee haa darbataman; akka lammata hin kaaneefis boolla qileetti haa darbataman.
Burning coals will fall upon them. You will cast them down into the fire, into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
11 Maqa balleessitoonni lafa irra hin jiraatin; namni jalʼaan waan hamaadhaan haa badu.
A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth. Evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.
12 Waaqayyo rakkattootaaf falmee hiyyeeyyiif illee murtii qajeelaa akka kennu ani beeka.
I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy and vindication for the poor.
13 Dhugumaan namni qajeelaan maqaa kee ni galateeffata; namni tolaanis fuula kee dura ni jiraata.
So then, truly, the just will confess your name, and the upright will dwell with your countenance.
