Faarfannaa 16
1 Miiktaamii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, ani kooluu sitti galeeraatii, ati na eegi.
[A Poem by David.] Preserve me, God, for in you do I take refuge.
2 Anis Waaqayyoon, “Ati Gooftaa koo ti; ani si malee gaarummaa hin qabu” nan jedha.
I said to the LORD, "You are my Lord. Apart from you I have no good thing."
3 Qulqulloonni lafa irraa garuu ulfina qabeeyyii dha; anis isaanitti baayʼee nan gammada.
As for the holy ones who are in the land, they are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.
4 Warra waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼan, gaddi isaanii ni guddata. Dhibaayyuu dhiigaa ani isaaniif hin dhibaafadhu; yookaan afaan kootiin maqaa isaanii hin dhaʼu.
Their sorrows will multiply who pay a dowry for another. Their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take their names on my lips.
5 Waaqayyo qooda dhaala kootii fi qooda xoofoo koo ti; ixaa koos situ naa jiraachisa.
The LORD is the portion of my inheritance and my cup. You made my lot secure.
6 Funyoon daangaa iddoo gaarii naa buʼeera; dhugumaan ani dhaala nama gammachiisu qaba.
The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places. Yes, beautiful is my inheritance.
7 Waaqayyo isa na gorsu sana ani nan jajadha; halkanis yaadni koo na qajeelcha.
I will bless the LORD, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.
8 Ani yeroo hunda fuula koo duraa Waaqayyoon qaba. Waan inni mirga koo jiruuf ani hin raafamu.
I have put the LORD before me at all times. Because he is at my right hand I will never be upended.
9 Kanaaf garaan koo ni gammada; arrabni koos ni ililcha; foon koos nagaadhaan jiraata;
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices. My body shall also dwell in safety.
10 ati siiʼool keessatti na hin dhiiftuutii, yookaan amanamaan kee akka tortoru hin gootu. (Sheol h7585)
For you will not abandon my soul in Sheol, neither will you allow your Holy One to see decay. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ati karaa jireenyaa na barsiifta; fuula kee durattis gammachuudhaan na guutta; gara mirga keetii gammachuu bara baraatu jira.
You make known to me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forevermore.
