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 saviour; whom then should I fear? The Lord protects my life; whom then should I dread?
2 Namoonni hamoon yommuu foon koo nyaachuudhaaf natti dhufan, diinonni koo fi amajaajonni koo yommuu na miidhuuf natti kaʼan, gufatanii kufu.
When the wicked drew near to assail me and eat up my flesh, it was those who distressed and opposed me who stumbled and fell.
3 Yoo duulli na marse illee, garaan koo hin sodaatu; yoo waraanni natti baname illee ani hin raafamu.
Though against me a host should encamp, yet my heart would be fearless: though battle should rise up against me, still would I be trustful.
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, and that do I long for – To live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the grace of the Lord and inquire in his temple.
5 Inni guyyaa rakkinaa iddoo ofii jiraatu na kaaʼataatii; daʼoo dunkaana isaa jala na dhoksa; kattaa gubbaattis ol na baasa.
For he will hide me in his shelter in the day of misfortune. In his sheltering tent he hides me: he lifts 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 that my head he has lifted above my encircling foes, I will march round the altar and sacrifice, shouting with joy, in his tent, making music and song to the Lord.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo, yommuu ani si waammadhu, sagalee koo dhagaʼi; naaf araarami; deebiis naaf kenni.
Hear, O Lord, my loud cry, and graciously answer me.
8 Yommuu ati, “Fuula koo barbaadaa!” jettetti, garaan koo, “Yaa Waaqayyo, ani fuula kee nan barbaada” siin jedha.
My heart has said to you, ‘Your face, O Lord, I 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.
Hide not your face from me, reject not your servant in anger: for you have been my help. Abandon me not, nor forsake me, O God of my help:
10 Yoo abbaan kootii fi haati koo na dhiisan illee, Waaqayyo na simata.
for father and mother have left me; but the Lord will take me up.
11 Yaa Waaqayyo, karaa kee na barsiisi; sababii ani diinota baayʼee qabuuf daandii qajeelaa irra na buusi.
Teach me your way, O Lord: lead me in an even path, because of my enemies.
12 Fedhii diinota kootiitti dabarsitee na hin kennin; dhuga baatonni sobduun narratti kaʼaniiruutii; isaanis hafuura jalʼinaa baafatu.
Give me not up, O Lord, unto the rage of my foes; for against me have risen false witnesses, breathing out cruelty.
13 Anis biyya jiraattotaa keessatti gaarummaa Waaqayyoo akkan argu amma iyyuu nan amana.
Firm is the faith I cherish, that I, in the land of the living, will yet see the goodness of God.
14 Waaqayyoon eeggadhu; cimi; jabaadhus; Waaqayyoon eeggadhu.
Let your heart be courageous and strong, and wait on the Lord.
