Faarfannaa 20

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

Unto the end. A psalm for David. May the Lord hear thee in the day of tribulation: may the name of the God of Jacob protect thee.

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

May he send thee help from the sanctuary: and defend thee out of Sion.

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

May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.

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

May he give thee according to thy own heart; and confirm all thy counsels.

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

We will rejoice in thy salvation; and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.

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.

The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed. He will hear him from his holy heaven: the salvation of his right hand is in powers.

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

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.

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

They are bound, and have fallen; but we are risen, and are set upright.

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

O Lord, save the king: and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.
