Faarfannaa 141

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani sin waammadha; dafii na qaqqabi. Yommuu ani si waammadhus sagalee koo dhagaʼi.

YHWH, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee.

2 Kadhannaan koo fuula kee duratti akka ixaanaatti anaaf haa fudhatamu; harka koo ol qabachuun koos akka aarsaa galgalaa anaaf haa taʼu.

Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

3 Yaa Waaqayyo, afaan kootiif eegduu naa dhaabi; balbala afaan kootiis naa eegi.

Set a watch, O YHWH, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

4 Garaan koo namoota waan hamaa hojjetan wajjin, hojii hamminaa keessatti hirmaachuuf, gara jalʼina kamiitti iyyuu hin harkifamin; akka ani nyaata isaanii miʼaawaa nyaadhus anaaf hin eeyyamin.

Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties.

5 Namni qajeelaan na haa rukutu; kun gara laafinaatii; inni ana haa ifatu; kunis zayitii mataa koo irraatti. Mataan koo waan kana hin didu. Taʼus kadhannaan koo yoom iyyuu hojii hamootaatiin mormuu dha.

Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities.

6 Bulchitoonni isaanii ededa boollaa irraa gad ni darbatamu; isaan dubbii koo ni dhagaʼu; dubbiin koo ni miʼaawaatii.

When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.

7 Isaanis, “Akkuma namni lafa qotu biyyoo bulleessu sana, lafeen keenya afaan siiʼool irratti bittinneeffamee jira” jedhu. (Sheol h7585)

Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. (Sheol h7585)

8 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani garuu ija koo sirraa hin buqqifadhu; ani kooluu sitti galeera; dabarsitee duʼatti na hin kennin.

But mine eyes are unto thee, O Elohim YHWH: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute.

9 Kiyyoo isaan naaf kaaʼan irraa, kiyyoo warri jalʼina hojjetan naaf qopheessan irraas na eegi.

Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity.

10 Warri hamoon kiyyoo ofii isaaniitiin haa qabaman; ani garuu nagumaan nan baʼa.

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
