Faarfannaa 26

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, sababii ani jireenya hirʼina hin qabne jiraadheef, ati naa murteessi; anis utuu asii fi achi hin raafamin, Waaqayyoon amanadheera.

Yahweh, show that I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong). I always do what is right; I have trusted in you and never doubted [that you would help me].

2 Yaa Waaqayyo, qoriitii na ilaali; garaa koo fi qalbii koo qori;

Yahweh, examine what I have done and test me; thoroughly evaluate what I think [IDM].

3 jaalalli kee kan hin geeddaramne sun ija koo dura jiraatii; anis dhugaa keetiin nan deddeebiʼa.

I never forget that you faithfully love me, I conduct my life according to your truth.

4 Ani warra nama gowwoomsan wajjin hin taaʼu, yookaan fakkeessitoota wajjin tokkummaa hin qabaadhu;

I do not spend my time with liars and I stay away from hypocrites.

5 ani waldaa warra hammina hojjetanii nan jibba; hamoota wajjinis hin taaʼu.

I do not like to be with evil people, and I avoid wicked people.

6 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani harka koo qulqullummaadhaan nan dhiqadha; iddoo aarsaa keetii irras nan naannaʼa.

Yahweh, I wash my hands to show that I (am innocent/have not done what was wrong). As I join with others marching around your altar,

7 Faarfannaa galataa guddisee nan faarfadha; dinqii hojii keetii hunda nan odeessa.

we sing songs to thank you, and we tell others the wonderful things that you [have done].

8 Yaa Waaqayyo, mana ati keessa jiraattu, iddoo ulfinni kee jirus nan jaalladha.

Yahweh, I love [to be in] the temple where you live, in the place where your glory appears.

9 Lubbuu koo cubbamoota wajjin, jireenya koos warra dhiiga dhangalaasan wajjin hin balleessin;

Do not get rid of me like you get rid of sinners; do not cause me to die like you cause those who murder [MTY] people to die,

10 warra harka isaanii keessa karoorri jalʼinaa jiru kanneen harki isaanii mirgaa mattaʼaadhaan guutame wajjin na hin balleessin.

and people who [SYN] are ready to do wicked things and people who are always taking bribes.

11 Ani garuu jireenya hirʼina hin qabne nan jiraadha; ati na furi; araaras naa buusi.

But as for me, I always try to do what is right. So be kind to me and rescue me.

12 Miilli koo lafa wal qixxee irra dhaabata; waldaa guddaa keessattis Waaqayyoon nan jajadha.

I stand in places where I am safe, and when [all your people] gather together, I praise you.
