Faarfannaa 27
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Waaqayyo ibsaa kootii fi fayyina koo ti; ani eenyunan sodaadha? Waaqayyo daʼoo jireenya kootii ti; eenyutu na sodaachisa?
A psalm of David. The Lord is my light and my salvation! How could anyone scare me? The Lord is my life's fortress! How could anyone terrify me?
2 Namoonni hamoon yommuu foon koo nyaachuudhaaf natti dhufan, diinonni koo fi amajaajonni koo yommuu na miidhuuf natti kaʼan, gufatanii kufu.
When evil people come at me to tear me apart, it's my enemies, those who are against me, they're the ones who trip and fall.
3 Yoo duulli na marse illee, garaan koo hin sodaatu; yoo waraanni natti baname illee ani hin raafamu.
Even if an army surrounds me, I won't be frightened. Even if I am attacked, I will still trust in God.
4 Ani waan tokko Waaqayyoon nan kadhadha; waan kanas nan barbaada: Kunis bara jireenya kootii guutuu mana Waaqayyoo keessa jiraachuu, miidhagina Waaqayyoo ilaaluu fi mana qulqullummaa isaa keessatti isa kadhachuu dha.
I only ask the Lord for one thing: I just want to live in the house of the Lord throughout my life, contemplating the Lord's goodness and thinking about his Temple.
5 Inni guyyaa rakkinaa iddoo ofii jiraatu na kaaʼataatii; daʼoo dunkaana isaa jala na dhoksa; kattaa gubbaattis ol na baasa.
When troubles come he will protect me and keep me safe, hiding me in his house, as secure as if he'd placed me on a high rock.
6 Yommus diinota na marsanii olitti mataan koo ol jedha; dunkaana isaa keessatti illee ililleedhaan aarsaa nan dhiʼeessa; Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; nan weeddisas.
He will hold my head high over my enemies who are all around me. I shall offer sacrifices in his house with shouts of joy, and I will sing praises to the Lord.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo, yommuu ani si waammadhu, sagalee koo dhagaʼi; naaf araarami; deebiis naaf kenni.
Listen to me, Lord, when I call for help. Be gracious and answer me.
8 Yommuu ati, “Fuula koo barbaadaa!” jettetti, garaan koo, “Yaa Waaqayyo, ani fuula kee nan barbaada” siin jedha.
You told me, “Come to me.” I am coming to you, Lord.
9 Fuula kee na duraa hin dhoksin; aartee tajaajilaa kee of irraa hin deebisin; ati gargaaraa koo taateerta. Yaa Waaqayyo, Fayyisaa ko, na hin gatin; na hin dhiisinis.
Don't refuse to talk to me. Don't be angry with your servant and turn away. You are the one who helps me, so please don't reject me and abandon me, God of my salvation.
10 Yoo abbaan kootii fi haati koo na dhiisan illee, Waaqayyo na simata.
Even if my father and my mother abandon me, the Lord will take care of me.
11 Yaa Waaqayyo, karaa kee na barsiisi; sababii ani diinota baayʼee qabuuf daandii qajeelaa irra na buusi.
Lord, teach me your way and lead me along the right path, because my enemies are against me—
12 Fedhii diinota kootiitti dabarsitee na hin kennin; dhuga baatonni sobduun narratti kaʼaniiruutii; isaanis hafuura jalʼinaa baafatu.
don't hand me over to them and their evil intentions, for they are making false accusations against me and threatening me with violence.
13 Anis biyya jiraattotaa keessatti gaarummaa Waaqayyoo akkan argu amma iyyuu nan amana.
However, I'm absolutely sure that I will see the Lord's goodness even in this life.
14 Waaqayyoon eeggadhu; cimi; jabaadhus; Waaqayyoon eeggadhu.
Trust in the Lord! Be confident—he will give you courage! Trust in the Lord!
