Faarfannaa 140
1 Dura Buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, namoota hamoo jalaa na baasi; namoota finciltoota
Unto the end, a psalm for David. Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: rescue me from the unjust man.
2 warra garaa isaanii keessatti hammina yaadanii guyyaa hunda waraana kaasan narraa eegi.
Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: all the day long they designed battles.
3 Isaan arraba isaanii akkuma bofaa qaratu; hadhaan buutii hidhii isaanii jala jira.
They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: the venom of saps is under their lips.
4 Yaa Waaqayyo, harka hamootaa narraa eegi; namoota finciltoota warra miilla koo kiyyootti galchuu yaadan jalaa na baasi.
Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me. Who have proposed to supplant my steps.
5 Of tuultonni dhoksanii kiyyoo na dura kaaʼaniiru; ribuu kiyyoo isaanii diriirsaniiru; karaa koo irras kiyyoo isaanii kaaʼaniiru.
The proud have hidden a net for me. And they have stretched out cords for a snare: they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
6 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani, “Ati Waaqa koo ti” siin nan jedha. Yaa Waaqayyo, waammata koo dhagaʼi.
I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, fayyisaa koo jabaa, ati guyyaa waraanaatti gaachana mataa naa taate.
O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
8 Yaa Waaqayyo, akka fedhiin hamootaa fiixaan baʼu hin godhin; akka isaan of hin tuulleef, akka karoorri isaanii milkaaʼu hin godhin.
Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: they have plotted against me; do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
9 Mataan warra na marsanii, hammina afaan isaaniitii baʼuun haa haguugamu.
The head of them compassing me about: the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
10 Barbadaan ibiddaa isaan irra haa buʼu; isaan ibiddatti illee haa darbataman; akka lammata hin kaaneefis boolla qileetti haa darbataman.
Burning coals shall fall upon them; thou wilt cast them down into the fire: in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
11 Maqa balleessitoonni lafa irra hin jiraatin; namni jalʼaan waan hamaadhaan haa badu.
A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
12 Waaqayyo rakkattootaaf falmee hiyyeeyyiif illee murtii qajeelaa akka kennu ani beeka.
I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, and will revenge the poor.
13 Dhugumaan namni qajeelaan maqaa kee ni galateeffata; namni tolaanis fuula kee dura ni jiraata.
But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
