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 leader; set to ‘Deer of the Dawn’. A psalm of David. My God, my God, why have you left me, my rescue so far from the words of my roaring?
2 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani guyyaa guyyaa sittin iyyadha; ati garuu deebii naaf hin deebiftu; halkan halkanis afaan hin qabadhu.
I cry in the day, you do not answer, I cry in the night but find no rest.
3 Ati garuu Qulqullicha teessoo irra taaʼuu dha; ati galata Israaʼel.
You are the Holy One, throned on the praises of Israel.
4 Abbootiin keenya si amanatan; isaan si amanatan; atis isaan oolchite.
In you our ancestors trusted, they trusted and you delivered them.
5 Isaan sitti iyyatan; ni fayyifamanis; si amanatan; hin qaanofnes.
They cried to you, and found safety, in you did they trust and were not put to shame.
6 Ani garuu raammoodha malee nama miti; ani nama namni itti qoosuu fi sabnis tuffatuu dha.
But I am a worm, not a person; insulted by others, despised by the people.
7 Warri na argan hundinuu natti kolfu; mataa isaanii raasanii na arrabsu.
All who see me mock me, with mouths wide open and wagging heads:
8 Akkanas jedhu; “Inni Waaqayyoon amanata; mee Waaqayyo isa haa oolchu kaa. Inni waan isatti gammaduuf, isa haa oolchu.”
“He relies on the Lord; let him save him. Let him rescue the one he holds dear!”
9 Ati garuu gadameessa keessaa na baafte; harma haadha koo irrattis, situ nagaan na eege.
But you drew me from the womb, laid me safely on my mother’s breasts.
10 Ani gaafan dhaladhee jalqabee sirratti nan gatame; erga haati koo na deessee jalqabdee ati Waaqa koo ti.
On your care was I cast from my very birth, you are my God from my mother’s womb.
11 Ati narraa hin fagaatin; rakkinni dhiʼaateeraatii; namni na gargaarus hin jiru.
Be not far from me, for trouble is nigh, and there is none to help.
12 Korommiin baayʼeen na marsu; korommiin Baashaan jajjaboonis karaa hundumaan na marsu.
I am circled by many bulls, beset by the mighty of Bashan,
13 Isaanis akka leenca beelaʼee aaduu afaan isaanii balʼisanii natti banatu.
who face me with gaping jaws, like ravening roaring lions.
14 Ani akkuma bishaaniitti nan dhangalaafame; lafeen koo hundinuus wal gad dhiise. Onneen koo gara gagaatti geeddarame; na keessattis baqe.
Poured out am I like water, and all my bones are loosened. My heart is become like wax, melted within me.
15 Jabinni koo akka qiraacii goge; arrabni koo laagaatti na maxxane; awwaara duʼaa keessas na ciibsite.
My palate is dry as a sherd, my tongue sticks to my jaws; in the dust of death you lay me.
16 Saroonni na marsaniiru; gareen namoota hamoo na marseera; isaanis harkaa fi miilla koo waraananii fullaasaniiru.
For dogs are round about me, a band of knaves encircles me, gnawing my hands and my feet.
17 Ani lafee koo hunda lakkaaʼuu nan dandaʼa; isaanis ija babaasanii na ilaalu; akkas taʼuu koottis ni gammadu.
I can count my bones, every one. As for them, they feast their eyes on me.
18 Isaan wayyaa koo hiratan; uffata koottis ixaa buufatan.
They divide my garments among them, and over my raiment cast lots.
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu narraa hin fagaatin; yaa Jabina koo na gargaaruuf ariifadhu.
But you, O Lord, be not far, O my strength, hasten to help me.
20 Lubbuu koo goraadee jalaa, jireenya koo immoo humna sarootaa jalaa baasi.
Deliver my life from the sword my life from the power of the dogs.
21 Afaan leencaa jalaa na miliqsi; gaanfa gafarsaa jalaas na baasi.
Save me from the jaws of the lion, from the horns of the wild oxen help me.
22 Maqaa kee obboloota kootti nan labsa; waldaa keessattis sin jajadha.
I will tell of your fame to my kindred, and in the assembly will praise you.
23 Isin warri Waaqayyoon sodaattan isa jajadhaa! Isin sanyiin Yaaqoob hundinuu isa ulfeessaa! Sanyiin Israaʼel hundinuus isa sodaadhaa!
Praise the Lord, you who fear him. All Jacob’s seed, give him glory. All Israel’s seed, stand in awe of him.
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 despised nor abhorred the sorrow of the sorrowful. He hid not his face from me, but he listened to my cry for help.
25 Galanni ani yaaʼii guddaa irratti siif galchu si biraa dhufa; warra si sodaatan durattis wareega koo of irraa nan baasa.
Of you is my praise in the great congregation; my vows I will pay before those who fear him.
26 Hiyyeeyyiin nyaatanii quufu; warri Waaqayyoon barbaaddatanis isa ni jajatu; garaan keessan bara baraan haa jiraatu!
The afflicted will eat to their heart’s desire, and those who seek after the Lord will praise him. Lift up your hearts forever.
27 Handaarri lafaa hundinuu ni yaadata; gara Waaqayyoottis ni deebiʼa; maatiiwwan sabootaa hundinuus fuula isaa duratti ni sagadu;
All will call it to mind, to the ends of the earth, and turn to the Lord; and all tribes of the nations will bow down before you.
28 mootummaan kan Waaqayyootii; innis saboota hunda ni bulcha.
For the kingdom belongs to the Lord: he is the Lord of the nations.
29 Sooreyyiin lafaa hundinuu ni nyaatu; ni waaqeffatus; warri of jiraachisuu hin dandeenye kanneen biyyoo seenan hundi fuula isaa duratti ni jilbeenfatu.
To him will bow down all who sleep in the earth, and before him bend all who go down to the dust, and those who could not preserve their lives.
30 Dhaloonni dhufu isa tajaajila; dhaloota boriittis waaʼeen Gooftaa ni himama.
My descendants will tell of the Lord to the next generation;
31 Sababii inni waan kana hojjeteef, isaan saba dhalachuuf jirutti qajeelummaa isaa ni labsu.
they will declare his righteousness to people yet to be born: He has done it.
