Faarfannaa 143
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, kadhannaa koo naa dhagaʼi; gurra kees gara waammata kootiitti deebisi; amanamummaa fi qajeelummaa keetiin, na gargaari.
A Psalm of David, when his son Absalom was pursuing him. O Lord, hear my prayer. Incline your ear to my supplication in your truth. Heed me according to your justice.
2 Ati garbicha kee murtiitti hin dhiʼeessin; namni lubbuun jiraatu kam iyyuu fuula kee duratti qajeelaa mitiitii.
And do not enter into judgment with your servant. For all the living will not be justified in your sight.
3 Diinni lubbuu koo ariʼachaa jiraatii; jireenya koos butuchee biyyootti make. Akkuma warra dur duʼaniittis dukkana keessa na jiraachiseera.
For the enemy has pursued my soul. He has lowered my life to the earth. He has stationed me in darkness, like the dead of ages past.
4 Kanaafuu hafuurri koo na keessatti gaggabeera; onneen koos na keessatti rifatteerti.
And my spirit has been in anguish over me. My heart within me has been disturbed.
5 Ani guyyoota durii nan yaadadha; waan ati hojjette hundas irra deddeebiʼee nan yaada; waan harki kee hojjete illee nan heda.
I have called to mind the days of antiquity. I have been meditating on all your works. I have meditated on the workings of your hands.
6 Harka koo gara keetti nan diriirfadha; lubbuun koos akkuma lafa gogaa si dheebotti.
I have extended my hands to you. My soul is like a land without water before you.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo, dafii deebii naa kenni; hafuurri koo dadhabeera. Fuula kee na duraa hin dhoksin yookaan ani akka warra boolla buʼanii nan taʼa.
O Lord, heed me quickly. My spirit has grown faint. Do not turn your face away from me, lest I become like those who descend into the pit.
8 Ani waanan si amanadheef, akka ani ganama ganama oduu jaalala keetii dhagaʼu godhi. Ani lubbuu koo gara keetti ol nan kaasaatii, karaa ani irra deemuu qabu natti argisiisi.
Make me hear your mercy in the morning. For I have hoped in you. Make known to me the way that I should walk. For I have lifted up my soul to you.
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani akka ati na dhoksituuf sitti nan baqadhaatii, diinota koo jalaa na baasi.
O Lord, rescue me from my enemies. I have fled to you.
10 Ati sababii Waaqa koo taateef, akka ani fedhii kee guutu na barsiisi; hafuurri kee gaariin sun karaa wal qixxee irra na haa qajeelchu.
Teach me to do your will. For you are my God. Your good Spirit will lead me into the righteous land.
11 Yaa Waaqayyo, maqaa keetii jedhiitii lubbuu koo jiraachisi; qajeelummaa keetiinis rakkina keessaa na baasi.
For the sake of your name, O Lord, you will revive me in your fairness. You will lead my soul out of tribulation.
12 Ati sababii na jaallattuuf diinota koo fixi; waan ani garbicha kee taʼeef, warra na cunqursan hunda barbadeessi.
And you will scatter my enemies in your mercy. And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul. For I am your servant.
