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 LORD, 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, my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my strength, in whom I trust; My shield, my strong defence, and my high tower.
3 Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
I called upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised, And was delivered from my enemies.
4 Funyoon duʼaa na xaxe; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
The snares of death encompassed me; The floods of destruction filled me with dismay;
The snares of the underworld surrounded me, And the nets of death seized 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 the LORD, And cried unto my God; He heard my voice from his palace, And my cry came before him into his ears.
7 Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan tulluuwwaniis ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
Then the earth quaked and trembled; The foundations of the mountains rocked and were shaken, Because his wrath was kindled.
8 Aarri funyaan isaatii ol baʼe; ibiddi waa barbadeessu afaan isaatii baʼe; cileen bobaʼus afaan isaatii baʼe.
A smoke went up from his nostrils, And fire from his mouth devoured; Burning coals shot forth from him.
9 Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
He bowed the heavens, 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.
And he made darkness his covering; His pavilion round about him was dark waters and 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 away; Then came hailstones and coals of fire.
13 Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
The LORD also thundered from heaven, And the Most High uttered his voice, Amid hailstones and coals of fire.
14 Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
He sent forth his arrows, and scattered them; Continual 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 the deep were seen, And the foundations of the earth were laid bare At thy rebuke, O LORD! At the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
16 Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
He stretched forth his hand from above; he took me, And drew me out of deep 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; From my adversaries, who were too powerful for me.
18 Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
They fell upon me in the day of my calamity; But the LORD was my stay.
19 Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
He 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.
The LORD hath rewarded me according to my righteous; 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 the LORD, 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 laws were in my sight; I did not put away his statutes from me.
23 Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
I was upright before him, And kept myself from iniquity.
24 Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma harki koo fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
Therefore hath the LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
25 Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata.
To the merciful thou showest thyself merciful; To the upright thou showest thyself upright;
26 Nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
To the pure thou showest thyself pure, And to the perverse thou showest thyself perverse.
27 Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; ija of tuulu garuu gad deebifta.
For thou savest the afflicted people, But the haughty countenance thou bringest down.
28 Yaa Waaqayyo ati ibsaa koo jabeessitee ni ibsita; Waaqni koo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
Thou causest my lamp to shine; Jehovah, my God, enlighteneth my darkness.
29 Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
For through thee I have broken through troops; Through my God I have leaped over walls.
30 Waaqa kana karaan isaa mudaa hin qabu; dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu; warra isatti kooluu galan hundaaf Waaqayyo gaachana taʼa.
The ways of God are just and true; His word is pure, tried in the fire; He is a shield to all who put their trust in him.
31 Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees kattaan eenyu?
Who, then, is God, save Jehovah? And who is a rock, save our God?
32 Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
It is God that girded me with strength, And made my way plain.
33 Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
He made my feet like the hind's, And set me in my high places;
34 Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
He taught my hands to war, So that my arm bent the 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 gavest me the shield of thy protection; Thy right hand held me up, And thy goodness made me great.
36 Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
Thou didst make a wide path for my steps, So that my feet did not stumble.
37 Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan qaqqabadhe; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
I pursued my enemies and overtook them, And turned not back till I had destroyed them.
38 Ani akka isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandeenyeef isaan nan barbadeesse; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
I smote them, so that they could not rise; They fell under my feet.
39 Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
Thou didst gird me with strength for the battle; Thou didst cast down my adversaries under me.
40 Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
Thou didst cause my enemies to turn their backs, So that I destroyed them that hated 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 help; To Jehovah, but he answered them not.
42 Anis akkuma awwaara bubbeen fudhatuutti isaan nan daake; akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan nan dhidhiite.
I beat them small, like dust before the wind; I cast them out as the dirt of 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 assaults of the nations; Thou hast made me the head of the kingdoms. Nations whom I knew not serve me;
44 Namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
They who have only heard of me obey me; Yea, men of a strange land submit themselves to me;
45 Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
Men of a strange land fade away, like a leaf, And come trembling from their strongholds.
46 Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
Jehovah is the living God; blessed be my rock; Exalted be the God of my salvation!
47 Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jalatti bulchuu dha;
It is God who hath given me vengeance, And subdued the nations under me;
48 diinota koo jalaas na baasa. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
He delivered me from my enemies; Yea, thou hast lifted me up above my adversaries; Thou hast saved 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 LORD! among the nations, And sing praises to 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 showeth mercy to his anointed, —To David and to his posterity for ever.
