Faarfannaa 20

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

For the leader. A psalm of David. The Lord answer you in the day of distress, the name of the Jacob’s God protect you,

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

sending you help from the temple, out of Zion supporting you.

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

All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favor. (Selah)

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

May he grant you your heart’s desire, and bring all your plans to pass.

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

We will shout then for joy at your victory, and rejoice in the name of our God. May the Lord grant your every request.

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 am sure that the Lord will help his anointed. From his temple in heaven he will answer by his mighty triumphant right hand.

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

Some in chariots are strong, some in horses; but our strength is the Lord our God.

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

They will totter and fall, while we rise and stand firm.

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

Give victory, Lord, to the king, and answer us when we call.
