Faarfannaa 141
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani sin waammadha; dafii na qaqqabi. Yommuu ani si waammadhus sagalee koo dhagaʼi.
A Melody of David. O Yahweh, I have cried unto thee, Make thou haste to me, Give ear unto my voice, when I cry to 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 in order like incense before thee, —the lifting up of my hands, as the evening gift.
3 Yaa Waaqayyo, afaan kootiif eegduu naa dhaabi; balbala afaan kootiis naa eegi.
Set thou, O Yahweh, a watch at my mouth, Keep thou guard over 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.
Let not my heart incline to a matter of wrong, that I should busy myself with practices in lawlessness, with men working 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 a righteous man smite me—a lovingkindness, that he should correct me, an oil for the head [which] let not my head refuse! For, yet, even my prayer, shall be in their calamities.
6 Bulchitoonni isaanii ededa boollaa irraa gad ni darbatamu; isaan dubbii koo ni dhagaʼu; dubbiin koo ni miʼaawaatii.
Their judges, have been hurled down by a crag, Now have men heard my sayings, for they have become sweet.
7 Isaanis, “Akkuma namni lafa qotu biyyoo bulleessu sana, lafeen keenya afaan siiʼool irratti bittinneeffamee jira” jedhu. (Sheol h7585)
As when one plougheth and furroweth the earth, Scattered about, are our bones at the mouth of hades! (Sheol h7585)
8 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani garuu ija koo sirraa hin buqqifadhu; ani kooluu sitti galeera; dabarsitee duʼatti na hin kennin.
Surely, unto thee, O Yahweh, My Lord, are mine eyes, In thee, have I sought refuge, Do not pour out my life.
9 Kiyyoo isaan naaf kaaʼan irraa, kiyyoo warri jalʼina hojjetan naaf qopheessan irraas na eegi.
Keep me out of the clutches of the trap they have set for me, and the snares of the workers of iniquity.
10 Warri hamoon kiyyoo ofii isaaniitiin haa qabaman; ani garuu nagumaan nan baʼa.
They who are lawless, shall fall into the nooses thereof, while, I, at the same time, pass on.
