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 will love thee, O Yhwh, 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.
Yhwh is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.
3 Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
I will call upon Yhwh, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
4 Funyoon duʼaa na xaxe; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented 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 Yhwh, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even 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 hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
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 bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.
10 Inni kiirubeelin yaabbatee barrise; qoochoo qilleensaatiinis ol baʼe.
And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.
11 Inni dukkana haguuggii isaa, duumessa samii kan bokkaadhaan dukkanaaʼe immoo godoo isaa godhate.
He made darkness his secret place; his pavilion round about him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.
12 Ifa fuula isaa keessaas duumessi dhagaa cabbiitii fi bakakkaadhaan tarsaasee baʼe.
At the brightness that was before him his thick clouds passed, hail stones and coals of fire.
13 Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
Yhwh also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.
14 Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
Yea, he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; and he shot out lightnings, 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 were seen, and the foundations of the world were discovered at thy rebuke, O Yhwh, 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 above, 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 them which hated me: for they were too strong for me.
18 Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
They prevented me in the day of my calamity: But Yhwh was my stay.
19 Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
He brought me forth also 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.
Yhwh rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
21 Ani karaa Waaqayyoo eegeeraatii; Waaqa koo irraa garagalee hammina hin hojjenne.
For I have kept the ways of Yhwh, 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 judgments were before me, and I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
I was also upright before him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
24 Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma harki koo fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
Therefore hath Yhwh 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 wilt shew thyself merciful; with an upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright;
26 Nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself contrary.
27 Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; ija of tuulu garuu gad deebifta.
For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks.
28 Yaa Waaqayyo ati ibsaa koo jabeessitee ni ibsita; Waaqni koo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
For thou wilt light my candle: Yhwh my God will enlighten my darkness.
29 Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped 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 Yhwh is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him.
31 Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees kattaan eenyu?
For who is God save Yhwh? or who is a rock save our God?
32 Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
33 Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places.
34 Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
He teacheth my hands to war, so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms.
35 Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; harki kee mirgaa ol na qabeera; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
36 Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, that my feet did not slip.
37 Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan qaqqabadhe; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
I have pursued mine enemies, and overtaken them: neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
38 Ani akka isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandeenyeef isaan nan barbadeesse; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
I have wounded them that they were not able to rise: they are fallen under my feet.
39 Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
40 Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that 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 them: even unto Yhwh, but he answered them not.
42 Anis akkuma awwaara bubbeen fudhatuutti isaan nan daake; akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan nan dhidhiite.
Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the dirt in the streets.
43 Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa na gooteerta; sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila.
Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; and thou hast made me the head of the heathen: 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 strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
45 Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
The strangers shall fade away, and be afraid out of their close places.
46 Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
Yhwh liveth; and blessed be my rock; and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
47 Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jalatti bulchuu dha;
It is God that avengeth me, and subdueth the people under me.
48 diinota koo jalaas na baasa. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
He delivereth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above those that rise up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.
49 Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
Therefore will I give thanks unto thee, O Yhwh, among the heathen, and sing praises unto thy name.
50 Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, jaalala bara baraa ni argisiisa.
Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth mercy to his anointed, to David, and to his seed for evermore.
