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, before he was anointed. The Lord is my light and my Saviour; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the defender of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 Namoonni hamoon yommuu foon koo nyaachuudhaaf natti dhufan, diinonni koo fi amajaajonni koo yommuu na miidhuuf natti kaʼan, gufatanii kufu.
When evil-doers drew near against me to eat up my flesh, my persecutors and mine enemies, they fainted and fell.
3 Yoo duulli na marse illee, garaan koo hin sodaatu; yoo waraanni natti baname illee ani hin raafamu.
Though an army should set itself in array against me, my heart shall not be afraid: though war should rise up against me, in this am I confident.
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.
One thing have I asked of the Lord, this will I earnestly seek: that I should dwell in the house of the Lord, all the days of my life, that I should behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and survey his temple.
5 Inni guyyaa rakkinaa iddoo ofii jiraatu na kaaʼataatii; daʼoo dunkaana isaa jala na dhoksa; kattaa gubbaattis ol na baasa.
For in the day of mine afflictions he hid me in his tabernacle: he sheltered me in the secret of his tabernacle; he set me up on a rock.
6 Yommus diinota na marsanii olitti mataan koo ol jedha; dunkaana isaa keessatti illee ililleedhaan aarsaa nan dhiʼeessa; Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; nan weeddisas.
And now, behold, he has lifted up mine head over mine enemies: I went round and offered in his tabernacle the sacrifice of joy; I will sing even sing psalms to the Lord.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo, yommuu ani si waammadhu, sagalee koo dhagaʼi; naaf araarami; deebiis naaf kenni.
Hear, O Lord, my voice which I have uttered aloud: pity me, and listen to me.
8 Yommuu ati, “Fuula koo barbaadaa!” jettetti, garaan koo, “Yaa Waaqayyo, ani fuula kee nan barbaada” siin jedha.
My heart said to you, I have diligently sought your face: your face, O Lord, I will seek.
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.
Turn not your face away from me, turn not you away from your servant in anger: be you my helper, forsake me not; and, O God my Saviour, overlook me not.
10 Yoo abbaan kootii fi haati koo na dhiisan illee, Waaqayyo na simata.
For my father and my mother have forsaken me, but the Lord has taken me to himself.
11 Yaa Waaqayyo, karaa kee na barsiisi; sababii ani diinota baayʼee qabuuf daandii qajeelaa irra na buusi.
Teach me, O Lord, in your way, and guide me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12 Fedhii diinota kootiitti dabarsitee na hin kennin; dhuga baatonni sobduun narratti kaʼaniiruutii; isaanis hafuura jalʼinaa baafatu.
Deliver me not over to the desire of them that afflict me; for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and injustice has lied within herself.
13 Anis biyya jiraattotaa keessatti gaarummaa Waaqayyoo akkan argu amma iyyuu nan amana.
I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Waaqayyoon eeggadhu; cimi; jabaadhus; Waaqayyoon eeggadhu.
Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and let your heart be strengthened: yes wait on the Lord.
