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.
A Prayer of David. Hear the right, O LORD, attend unto my cry; give ear unto my prayer, that goeth not out of feigned lips.
2 Murtiin koo si biraa haa dhufu; iji kees waan qajeelaa haa argu.
Let my sentence come forth from thy presence; let thine eyes look upon equity.
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 mine heart; thou hast visited me in the night; thou hast tried me, and findest nothing; I am purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.
4 Waaʼee hojii namootaa immoo ani dubbii afaan keetiitiin karaa gooltotaa irraa of eeggadheera.
As for the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the ways of the violent.
5 Tarkaanfiin koo karaa kee irratti cimeera; miilli koos hin mucucaanne.
My steps have held fast to thy paths, my feet have not slipped.
6 Yaa Waaqi, waan ati deebii naa kennituuf ani sin waammadha; gurra kee gara kootti qabiitii kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi.
I have called upon thee, for thou wilt answer me, O God: incline thine ear unto me, [and] hear my speech.
7 Yaa isa warra diinota isaanii jalaa sitti baqatan harka kee mirgaatiin oolchitu, ati jaalala kee isa hin geeddaramne sana haala dinqisiisaadhaan argisiisi.
Shew thy marvelous lovingkindness, O thou that savest them which put their trust [in thee] from those that rise up [against them], by thy right hand.
8 Akka agartuu ija keetiitti na eegi; gaaddidduu qoochoo keetiitiinis na dhoksi;
Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,
9 hamoota na dhiphisan jalaa, diinota na ajjeesuuf na marsan jalaa na baasi.
From the wicked that spoil me, my deadly enemies, that compass me about.
10 Isaan garaa isaanii kan namaa hin naane sana ni guduunfu; afaan isaaniis of tuulummaadhaan dubbata.
They are enclosed in their own fat: with their mouth they speak proudly.
11 Isaan faana na dhaʼu; ammas na marsaniiru; lafaan na dhaʼuudhaafis ija babaasu.
They have now compassed us in our steps: they set their eyes to cast [us] down to the earth.
12 Isaan akka leenca waa kukkutachuu kajeeluu ti; akka leenca guddaa riphee waa gaaduu ti.
He is like a lion that is greedy of his prey, and as it were a young lion lurking in secret places.
13 Yaa Waaqayyo kaʼi; itti baʼiitii isaan kuffisi; goraadee keetiinis hamoota jalaa na baasi.
Arise, O LORD, confront him, cast him down: deliver my soul from the wicked by 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 men, by thy hand, O LORD, from men of the world, whose portion is in [this] life, and whose belly thou fillest with thy treasure: they are satisfied with children, and leave the rest of their substance to their babes.
15 Ani garuu qajeelummaadhaan fuula kee nan arga; yommuun dammaquttis ani ulfina kee arguudhaan nan quufa.
As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.
