Faarfannaa 17
1 Kadhannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, iyyata ani murtii qajeelaaf iyyadhu dhagaʼi; booʼicha koos dhaggeeffadhu. Kadhannaa koo kan afaan nama hin gowwoomsine keessaa baʼuufis gurra kenni.
The prayer of David. Hear, O Lord, my justice: attend to my supplication. Give ear unto my prayer, which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
2 Murtiin koo si biraa haa dhufu; iji kees waan qajeelaa haa argu.
Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
3 Ati yoo garaa koo qorte, halkaniinis yoo na ilaalte, yoo na sakattaates, homaa narratti hin argattu; ani akka afaan koo cubbuu hin hojjenneef kutadheeraatii.
Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
4 Waaʼee hojii namootaa immoo ani dubbii afaan keetiitiin karaa gooltotaa irraa of eeggadheera.
That my mouth may not speak the works of men: for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
5 Tarkaanfiin koo karaa kee irratti cimeera; miilli koos hin mucucaanne.
Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: that my footsteps be not moved.
6 Yaa Waaqi, waan ati deebii naa kennituuf ani sin waammadha; gurra kee gara kootti qabiitii kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi.
I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
7 Yaa isa warra diinota isaanii jalaa sitti baqatan harka kee mirgaatiin oolchitu, ati jaalala kee isa hin geeddaramne sana haala dinqisiisaadhaan argisiisi.
Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; thou who savest them that trust in thee.
8 Akka agartuu ija keetiitti na eegi; gaaddidduu qoochoo keetiitiinis na dhoksi;
From them that resist thy right hand keep me, as the apple of thy eye. Protect me under the shadow of thy wings.
9 hamoota na dhiphisan jalaa, diinota na ajjeesuuf na marsan jalaa na baasi.
From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me. My enemies have surrounded my soul:
10 Isaan garaa isaanii kan namaa hin naane sana ni guduunfu; afaan isaaniis of tuulummaadhaan dubbata.
They have shut up their fat: their mouth hath spoken proudly.
11 Isaan faana na dhaʼu; ammas na marsaniiru; lafaan na dhaʼuudhaafis ija babaasu.
They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
12 Isaan akka leenca waa kukkutachuu kajeeluu ti; akka leenca guddaa riphee waa gaaduu ti.
They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
13 Yaa Waaqayyo kaʼi; itti baʼiitii isaan kuffisi; goraadee keetiinis hamoota jalaa na baasi.
Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword
14 Yaa Waaqayyo, namoota akkanaa jalaa, namoota addunyaa kanaa warra qoodni isaanii jireenyuma ammaa taʼe jalaa harka keetiin na baraari. Garaan isaanii waan ati isaaniif kuufte haa quufu; ijoolleen isaaniis akka malee haa quufan; isaanis waan isaan irraa hafe daaʼimman isaaniitiif haa kaaʼan.
From the enemies of thy hand. O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: their belly is filled from thy hidden stores. They are full of children: and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
15 Ani garuu qajeelummaadhaan fuula kee nan arga; yommuun dammaquttis ani ulfina kee arguudhaan nan quufa.
But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
