Faarfannaa 20

1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Guyyaa rakkinaatti Waaqayyo deebii siif haa kennu; maqaan Waaqa Yaaqoobis si haa eegu.

To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. May the Lord give ear to you in the day of trouble; may you be placed on high by the name of the God of Jacob;

2 Inni iddoo qulqulluudhaa gargaarsa siif haa ergu; Xiyoon irraas jabina siif haa kennu.

May he send you help from the holy place, and give you strength from Zion;

3 Aarsaa kee hunda siif haa yaadatu; qalma kee kan gubamus siif haa fudhatu.

May he keep all your offerings in mind, and be pleased with the fat of your burned offerings; (Selah)

4 Hawwii garaa keetii siif haa kennu; karoora kee hundas fiixaan siif haa baasu.

May he give you your heart's desire, and put all your purposes into effect.

5 Yommuu ati moʼattutti ililchinee maqaa Waaqa keenyaatiin faajjii keenya ol fudhanna. Waaqayyo waan ati kadhattu hundumaa siif haa kennu.

We will be glad in your salvation, and in the name of our God we will put up our flags: may the Lord give you all your requests.

6 Ani akka Waaqayyo dibamaa isaa fayyisu amma beeka; Waaqayyo humna nama fayyisu kan harka isaa mirgaa keessa jiru sanaan samii isaa qulqulluu keessaa deebii ni kennaaf.

Now am I certain that the Lord gives salvation to his king; he will give him an answer from his holy heaven with the strength of salvation in his right hand.

7 Namoonni tokko tokko gaariiwwan amanatu; kaan immoo fardeen amanatu; nu garuu maqaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaa amananna.

Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

8 Isaan gufatanii kufu; nu garuu ol kaana; jabaannees ni dhaabanna.

They are bent down and made low; but we have been lifted up.

9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati mootiidhaaf moʼannaa kenni! Yommuu nu si waammannuttis deebii nuu kenni!

Come to our help, Lord: let the king give ear to our cry.
