Faarfannaa 20

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

“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” May Jehovah hear thee in the day of trouble; May the name of the God of Jacob defend thee!

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

May he send thee help from his sanctuary, And strengthen thee out of Zion!

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

May he have regard to all thine offerings, And accept thy burnt sacrifice! (Pause)

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

May he grant thee thy heart's desire, And fulfill all thy purposes!

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 protection, And in the name of our God will we set up our banners, When Jehovah hath fulfilled all thy petitions.

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 I know that Jehovah helpeth his anointed; That he heareth him from his holy heaven, And aideth him with the saving strength of his right hand.

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

Some glory in chariots, and some in horses, But we in the name of Jehovah our God.

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

They stumble and fall, But we stand and are erect.

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

The LORD save the king! May he hear us when we call!
