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 pursued him. O Lord, attend to my prayer: listen to my supplication in your truth; hear me in your righteousness.
2 Ati garbicha kee murtiitti hin dhiʼeessin; namni lubbuun jiraatu kam iyyuu fuula kee duratti qajeelaa mitiitii.
And enter not into judgment with your servant, for in your sight shall no [man] living be justified.
3 Diinni lubbuu koo ariʼachaa jiraatii; jireenya koos butuchee biyyootti make. Akkuma warra dur duʼaniittis dukkana keessa na jiraachiseera.
For the enemy has persecuted my soul; he has brought my life down to the ground; he has made me to dwell in a dark [place], as those that have been long dead.
4 Kanaafuu hafuurri koo na keessatti gaggabeera; onneen koos na keessatti rifatteerti.
Therefore my spirit was grieved in me; my heart was troubled within me.
5 Ani guyyoota durii nan yaadadha; waan ati hojjette hundas irra deddeebiʼee nan yaada; waan harki kee hojjete illee nan heda.
I remembered the days of old; and I meditated on all your doings: [yes], I meditated on the works of your hands.
6 Harka koo gara keetti nan diriirfadha; lubbuun koos akkuma lafa gogaa si dheebotti.
I spread forth my hands to you; my soul [thirsts] for you, as a dry land. (Pause)
7 Yaa Waaqayyo, dafii deebii naa kenni; hafuurri koo dadhabeera. Fuula kee na duraa hin dhoksin yookaan ani akka warra boolla buʼanii nan taʼa.
Hear me speedily, O Lord; my spirit has failed; turn not away your face from me, else I shall be like to them that go down to 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.
Cause me to hear your mercy in the morning; for I have hoped in you; make known to me, O Lord, the way wherein 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.
Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lord; for I have fled to you for refuge.
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 shall guide me in the straight [way].
11 Yaa Waaqayyo, maqaa keetii jedhiitii lubbuu koo jiraachisi; qajeelummaa keetiinis rakkina keessaa na baasi.
You shall quicken me, O Lord, for your name's sake; in your righteousness you shall bring my soul out of affliction.
12 Ati sababii na jaallattuuf diinota koo fixi; waan ani garbicha kee taʼeef, warra na cunqursan hunda barbadeessi.
And in your mercy you will destroy mine enemies, and will destroy all those that afflict my soul; for I am your servant.
