Faarfannaa 140
1 Dura Buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, namoota hamoo jalaa na baasi; namoota finciltoota
TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. Deliver me, O YHWH, from an evil man, Keep me from one of violence.
2 warra garaa isaanii keessatti hammina yaadanii guyyaa hunda waraana kaasan narraa eegi.
Who have devised evils in the heart, All the day they assemble [for] wars.
3 Isaan arraba isaanii akkuma bofaa qaratu; hadhaan buutii hidhii isaanii jala jira.
They sharpened their tongue as a serpent, Poison of a viper [is] under their lips. (Selah)
4 Yaa Waaqayyo, harka hamootaa narraa eegi; namoota finciltoota warra miilla koo kiyyootti galchuu yaadan jalaa na baasi.
Preserve me, YHWH, from the hands of the wicked, Keep me from one of violence, Who have devised to overthrow my steps.
5 Of tuultonni dhoksanii kiyyoo na dura kaaʼaniiru; ribuu kiyyoo isaanii diriirsaniiru; karaa koo irras kiyyoo isaanii kaaʼaniiru.
The proud hid a snare for me—and cords, They spread a net by the side of the path, They have set snares for me. (Selah)
6 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani, “Ati Waaqa koo ti” siin nan jedha. Yaa Waaqayyo, waammata koo dhagaʼi.
I have said to YHWH, “You [are] my God, Hear, YHWH, the voice of my supplications.”
7 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, fayyisaa koo jabaa, ati guyyaa waraanaatti gaachana mataa naa taate.
O YHWH, my Lord, strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of armor.
8 Yaa Waaqayyo, akka fedhiin hamootaa fiixaan baʼu hin godhin; akka isaan of hin tuulleef, akka karoorri isaanii milkaaʼu hin godhin.
Do not grant, O YHWH, the desires of the wicked, Do not bring forth his wicked scheme, They are high. (Selah)
9 Mataan warra na marsanii, hammina afaan isaaniitii baʼuun haa haguugamu.
The chief of my surrounders, The perverseness of their lips covers them.
10 Barbadaan ibiddaa isaan irra haa buʼu; isaan ibiddatti illee haa darbataman; akka lammata hin kaaneefis boolla qileetti haa darbataman.
They cause burning coals to fall on themselves, He casts them into fire, Into deep pits—they do not arise.
11 Maqa balleessitoonni lafa irra hin jiraatin; namni jalʼaan waan hamaadhaan haa badu.
A talkative man is not established in the earth, One of violence—evil hunts to overflowing.
12 Waaqayyo rakkattootaaf falmee hiyyeeyyiif illee murtii qajeelaa akka kennu ani beeka.
I have known that YHWH executes The judgment of the afflicted, The judgment of the needy.
13 Dhugumaan namni qajeelaan maqaa kee ni galateeffata; namni tolaanis fuula kee dura ni jiraata.
Surely the righteous give thanks to Your Name, The upright dwell with Your presence!
