Faarfannaa 18
1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit garbicha Waaqayyoo; innis yommuu Waaqayyo harka diinota isaa hundaa fi harka Saaʼol jalaa isa baasetti dubbii faarfannaa kana Waaqayyoof faarfate. Innis akkana jedhe: Yaa Waaqayyo jabina ko, ani sin jaalladha.
I love thee, O Jehovah, my strength.
2 Waaqayyo kattaa koo, daʼannoo kootii fi oolchaa koo ti; Waaqni koo kattaa koo kan ani kooluu itti galuu dha; inni gaachana kootii fi gaanfa fayyina koo ti; daʼannoo koo cimaa dha.
Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, my God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
3 Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.
4 Funyoon duʼaa na xaxe; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
The cords of death encompassed me, and the floods of lawlessness made me afraid.
The cords of Sheol were round about me. The snares of death came upon me. (Sheol h7585)
6 Ani dhiphina koo keessatti Waaqayyoon nan waammadhe; gargaarsaafis Waaqa kootti nan iyyadhe. Innis mana qulqullummaa isaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼe; iyyi koos gurra isaa seene.
In my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
7 Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan tulluuwwaniis ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
Then the earth shook and trembled. The foundations also of the mountains quaked and were shaken because he was angry.
8 Aarri funyaan isaatii ol baʼe; ibiddi waa barbadeessu afaan isaatii baʼe; cileen bobaʼus afaan isaatii baʼe.
There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
9 Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
He also bowed the heavens, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
10 Inni kiirubeelin yaabbatee barrise; qoochoo qilleensaatiinis ol baʼe.
And he rode upon a cherub, and flew. Yea, he soared upon the wings of the wind.
11 Inni dukkana haguuggii isaa, duumessa samii kan bokkaadhaan dukkanaaʼe immoo godoo isaa godhate.
He made darkness his hiding-place, his pavilion round about him, darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
12 Ifa fuula isaa keessaas duumessi dhagaa cabbiitii fi bakakkaadhaan tarsaasee baʼe.
At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them, Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
15 Yaa Waaqayyo, dheekkamsa keetiin, humna hafuura funyaan keetii baʼuutiinis, sululawwan galaanaa ifatti baafaman; hundeewwan lafaas qullaa hafan.
Then the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare at thy rebuke, O Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
He sent from on high, he took me, he drew me out of many waters.
17 Inni diina koo isa jabaa jalaa, amajaajota koo warra akka malee natti ciman jalaas na baase.
He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
18 Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my stay.
19 Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
He also brought me forth into a large place. He delivered me because he delighted in me.
20 Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelummaa kootiitti naa kenneera; akkuma qulqullina harka koottis na badhaase.
Jehovah has rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has recompensed me.
21 Ani karaa Waaqayyoo eegeeraatii; Waaqa koo irraa garagalee hammina hin hojjenne.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
22 Seerri isaa hundinuu fuula koo dura jira; anis labsii isaa irraa hin gorre.
For all his ordinances were before me, and I put not away his statutes from me.
23 Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
I was also perfect with him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
24 Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma harki koo fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
Therefore Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
25 Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata.
With the merciful thou will show thyself merciful. With the perfect man thou will show thyself perfect.
26 Nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
With the pure thou will show thyself pure. And with the perverse thou will show thyself contrary.
27 Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; ija of tuulu garuu gad deebifta.
For thou will save the afflicted people, but the haughty eyes thou will bring down.
28 Yaa Waaqayyo ati ibsaa koo jabeessitee ni ibsita; Waaqni koo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
For thou will light my lamp. Jehovah my God will lighten my darkness.
29 Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
For by thee I run upon a troop, and by my God I leap over a wall.
30 Waaqa kana karaan isaa mudaa hin qabu; dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu; warra isatti kooluu galan hundaaf Waaqayyo gaachana taʼa.
As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
31 Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees kattaan eenyu?
For who is God, except Jehovah? And who is a rock, besides our God,
32 Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
the God who girds me with strength, and makes my way perfect?
33 Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
He makes my feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
34 Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.
35 Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; harki kee mirgaa ol na qabeera; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy right hand has held me up, and thy gentleness has made me great.
36 Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
37 Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan qaqqabadhe; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
I will pursue my enemies, and overtake them. Neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
38 Ani akka isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandeenyeef isaan nan barbadeesse; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
I will smite them through, so that they shall not be able to rise. They shall fall under my feet.
39 Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
40 Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
41 Isaan gargaarsaaf iyyan; garuu kan isaan oolchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; gara Waaqayyoottis ni iyyatan; inni garuu deebii hin kennineef.
They cried, but there was none to save, even to Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42 Anis akkuma awwaara bubbeen fudhatuutti isaan nan daake; akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan nan dhidhiite.
Then I beat them small as the dust before the wind. I cast them out as the mire of the streets.
43 Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa na gooteerta; sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila.
Thou have delivered me from the strivings of the people. Thou have made me the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
44 Namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me. The foreigners shall submit themselves to me.
45 Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
46 Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
Jehovah lives, and blessed be my rock, and exalted be the God of my salvation,
47 Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jalatti bulchuu dha;
even the God who executes vengeance for me, and subdues peoples under me.
48 diinota koo jalaas na baasa. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
He rescues me from my enemies. Yea, thou lift me up above those who rise up against me. Thou deliver me from the violent man.
49 Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among the Gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.
50 Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, jaalala bara baraa ni argisiisa.
He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
