Faarfannaa 22
1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Borofa Ganamaa” jedhu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqa ko, yaa Waaqa ko, ati maaliif na dhiifte? Ati na gargaaruu irraa, iyya koo irraas maaliif akkas fagaatta?
For the music director. To the tune “Doe of the Dawn.” A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you abandoned me? Why are you so far away when I groan, asking for help?
2 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani guyyaa guyyaa sittin iyyadha; ati garuu deebii naaf hin deebiftu; halkan halkanis afaan hin qabadhu.
My God, every day I cry out to you, but you don't answer; at night too, but I get no rest.
3 Ati garuu Qulqullicha teessoo irra taaʼuu dha; ati galata Israaʼel.
Yet you are holy, and the praises of Israel are your throne.
4 Abbootiin keenya si amanatan; isaan si amanatan; atis isaan oolchite.
Our forefathers trusted in you; they trusted and you rescued them.
5 Isaan sitti iyyatan; ni fayyifamanis; si amanatan; hin qaanofnes.
They cried out to you for help, and they were saved. They trusted in you and were not defeated.
6 Ani garuu raammoodha malee nama miti; ani nama namni itti qoosuu fi sabnis tuffatuu dha.
But I'm a worm, not a man, scorned and despised by everyone.
7 Warri na argan hundinuu natti kolfu; mataa isaanii raasanii na arrabsu.
People who see me mock me. They laugh at me and shake their heads, saying,
8 Akkanas jedhu; “Inni Waaqayyoon amanata; mee Waaqayyo isa haa oolchu kaa. Inni waan isatti gammaduuf, isa haa oolchu.”
“He trusts in the Lord—well then, let the Lord save him! If the Lord is such a friend, then let the Lord rescue him!”
9 Ati garuu gadameessa keessaa na baafte; harma haadha koo irrattis, situ nagaan na eege.
However, you brought me safely through birth, and led me to trust in you at my mother's breasts.
10 Ani gaafan dhaladhee jalqabee sirratti nan gatame; erga haati koo na deessee jalqabdee ati Waaqa koo ti.
I was entrusted to you from birth; from the time I was born you have been my God.
11 Ati narraa hin fagaatin; rakkinni dhiʼaateeraatii; namni na gargaarus hin jiru.
Do not be distant from me, because trouble is close by and no one else can help.
12 Korommiin baayʼeen na marsu; korommiin Baashaan jajjaboonis karaa hundumaan na marsu.
Enemies surround me like a herd of bulls; strong bulls from Bashan have encircled me.
13 Isaanis akka leenca beelaʼee aaduu afaan isaanii balʼisanii natti banatu.
Like roaring lions tearing at their prey they open their mouths wide against me.
14 Ani akkuma bishaaniitti nan dhangalaafame; lafeen koo hundinuus wal gad dhiise. Onneen koo gara gagaatti geeddarame; na keessattis baqe.
I feel like I'm being poured out like water. I'm falling apart as if all my bones have become loose. My mind feels like it's wax melting inside me.
15 Jabinni koo akka qiraacii goge; arrabni koo laagaatti na maxxane; awwaara duʼaa keessas na ciibsite.
My strength has dried up like a piece of broken pottery. My tongue is stuck to the roof of my mouth. You're burying me as if I'm already dead.
16 Saroonni na marsaniiru; gareen namoota hamoo na marseera; isaanis harkaa fi miilla koo waraananii fullaasaniiru.
Evil men surround me like a pack of dogs. They have pierced my hands and feet.
17 Ani lafee koo hunda lakkaaʼuu nan dandaʼa; isaanis ija babaasanii na ilaalu; akkas taʼuu koottis ni gammadu.
I'm so thin I can count all my bones. People stare at me and gloat.
18 Isaan wayyaa koo hiratan; uffata koottis ixaa buufatan.
They divide my clothing among them; they roll dice for my clothes.
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu narraa hin fagaatin; yaa Jabina koo na gargaaruuf ariifadhu.
But you, Lord, don't be far away from me! You are my strength—hurry, come and help me!
20 Lubbuu koo goraadee jalaa, jireenya koo immoo humna sarootaa jalaa baasi.
Save me from death by the sword! Save my life—the only one I have—from the dogs!
21 Afaan leencaa jalaa na miliqsi; gaanfa gafarsaa jalaas na baasi.
Rescue me from the mouth of the lion and from the wild bulls!
22 Maqaa kee obboloota kootti nan labsa; waldaa keessattis sin jajadha.
I will tell my people all the wonderful things you have done; I will praise you in the congregation.
23 Isin warri Waaqayyoon sodaattan isa jajadhaa! Isin sanyiin Yaaqoob hundinuu isa ulfeessaa! Sanyiin Israaʼel hundinuus isa sodaadhaa!
Praise the Lord, all who worship him! Honor him, every descendant of Jacob! Be in awe of him, every descendant of Israel!
24 Inni dhiphina nama dhiphatee hin tuffanne yookaan hin balfineetii; yommuu inni gargaarsaaf isatti iyyatettis, ni dhagaʼeef malee fuula isaa hin dhokfanne.
For he has not ridiculed or scorned the suffering of the poor; he has not turned away from them, he has listened to their cries for help.
25 Galanni ani yaaʼii guddaa irratti siif galchu si biraa dhufa; warra si sodaatan durattis wareega koo of irraa nan baasa.
You are the subject of my praise in the great assembly. I will fulfill my promises before those who worship you.
26 Hiyyeeyyiin nyaatanii quufu; warri Waaqayyoon barbaaddatanis isa ni jajatu; garaan keessan bara baraan haa jiraatu!
The poor shall eat, and they shall be satisfied. All who come to the Lord will praise him—may you all live forever!
27 Handaarri lafaa hundinuu ni yaadata; gara Waaqayyoottis ni deebiʼa; maatiiwwan sabootaa hundinuus fuula isaa duratti ni sagadu;
Everyone in the whole world will repent and return to the Lord; all the nations will worship before you.
28 mootummaan kan Waaqayyootii; innis saboota hunda ni bulcha.
For kingly power belongs to the Lord; he is the one who rules over the nations.
29 Sooreyyiin lafaa hundinuu ni nyaatu; ni waaqeffatus; warri of jiraachisuu hin dandeenye kanneen biyyoo seenan hundi fuula isaa duratti ni jilbeenfatu.
All who prosper come to feast and worship. Bow down before him, all those destined for the grave—for none can keep themselves alive.
30 Dhaloonni dhufu isa tajaajila; dhaloota boriittis waaʼeen Gooftaa ni himama.
Our descendants will serve him; they will tell the next generation about the Lord.
31 Sababii inni waan kana hojjeteef, isaan saba dhalachuuf jirutti qajeelummaa isaa ni labsu.
They will come and tell those yet to be born how good the Lord is, and all that he has done!
