Faarfannaa 19
1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Samiiwwan ulfina Waaqaa odeessu; bantiin samiis hojii harka isaa labsa.
For the leader. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God’s glory, the sky tells what his hands have done.
2 Guyyaan tokko guyyaa kaanitti odeessa, halkan tokkos halkan kaanitti beekumsa mulʼisa.
Day tells it to day, night reveals it to night,
3 Haasaan yookaan dubbiin hin jiru; sagaleen isaaniis hin dhagaʼamu.
without speaking, without words; without the sound of voices.
4 Taʼus sagaleen isaanii lafa hundumaa, dubbiin isaaniis handaara addunyaa gaʼe. Inni samiiwwan keessatti biiftuudhaaf dunkaana dhaabe;
But through all the world their voice carries their words to the ends of the earth. He has pitched a tent for the sun in the sky,
5 biiftuunis akkuma misirricha dinqa isaatii baʼuutii fi akkuma moʼataa fiigicha dorgomutti gammadu tokkoo ti.
it comes out like a bridegroom from his bridal chamber, it joyfully runs its course like a hero.
6 Isheenis handaara samiiwwanii tokkoo baatee gara handaara kaaniitti naannofti; wanni hoʼa ishee jalaa dhokatu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.
From one end of the heavens it rises, and round it runs to the other, and nothing hides from its heat.
7 Seerri Waaqayyoo mudaa hin qabu; lubbuu namatti deebisa. Ajajni Waaqayyoo amanamaa dha; nama wallaalaa beekaa godha.
The law of the Lord is perfect, renewing life. The decrees of the Lord are trusty, making the simple wise.
8 Seerri Waaqayyoo qajeelaa dha; garaadhaaf gammachuu kenna. Ajajni Waaqayyoo qulqulluu dha; ijaafis ifa kenna.
The behests of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.
9 Waaqayyoon sodaachuun qulqulluu dha; bara baraan jiraata. Murtiin Waaqayyoo dhugaa dha; walumaa galattis qajeelaa dha.
The fear of the Lord is clean, it endures forever. The Lord’s judgments are true and right altogether.
10 Inni warqee caalaa, warqee akka malee qulqulleeffame caalaa iyyuu gatii qabeessa; inni damma caalaa, nadhii dammaa caalaa miʼaawaa dha.
More precious are they than gold – than fine gold in plenty, and sweeter they are than honey, that drops from the comb.
11 Murtii kanaanis tajaajilaan kee ni gorfama; isa eeguunis gatii guddaa qaba.
By them is your servant warned; who keeps them has rich reward.
12 Eenyutu dogoggora isaa hubachuu dandaʼa? Yakka koo isa dhokfamaa irraa na qulqulleessi.
Who can know their flaws? Absolve me from those I know not.
13 Tajaajilaa kee cubbuu ija jabinaan hojjetamu irraa eegi; cubbuun kunis na hin moʼatin. Yoos ani hirʼina malee nan jiraadha; dogoggora guddaa irraas qulqulluu nan taʼa.
Keep your servant from wilful sins – from falling under their sway: then blameless and clear will I be from great offence.
14 Yaa Waaqayyo, Kattaa koo fi Furii ko, dubbiin afaan kootii fi yaadni garaa koo fuula kee duratti fudhatamaa haa taʼu.
May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, Lord, my rock and redeemer.
