Faarfannaa 27

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Waaqayyo ibsaa kootii fi fayyina koo ti; ani eenyunan sodaadha? Waaqayyo daʼoo jireenya kootii ti; eenyutu na sodaachisa?

Yahweh is the one who gives light [to my soul/spirit] and the one who saves me, so I do not [RHQ] need to be afraid of anyone. Yahweh is the one to whom I go for refuge, so I will never be afraid.

2 Namoonni hamoon yommuu foon koo nyaachuudhaaf natti dhufan, diinonni koo fi amajaajonni koo yommuu na miidhuuf natti kaʼan, gufatanii kufu.

When those who do evil come near me to attack me, they stumble and fall down.

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 [SYN] will not be afraid. [Even] if they attack me, I will 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.

There is one thing that I have requested from Yahweh; this is the one thing that I desire: That I may worship in Yahweh’s house/temple every day of my life, and see that Yahweh is wonderful and inquire [what he wants me to do].

5 Inni guyyaa rakkinaa iddoo ofii jiraatu na kaaʼataatii; daʼoo dunkaana isaa jala na dhoksa; kattaa gubbaattis ol na baasa.

He will protect me when I have troubles; he will keep me safe in his Sacred Tent. He will set me safely (on a high rock/in a secure place).

6 Yommus diinota na marsanii olitti mataan koo ol jedha; dunkaana isaa keessatti illee ililleedhaan aarsaa nan dhiʼeessa; Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; nan weeddisas.

Then I will triumph over [IDM] my enemies. I will shout joyfully as I offer sacrifices in his Sacred Tent, and I will praise Yahweh as I sing.

7 Yaa Waaqayyo, yommuu ani si waammadhu, sagalee koo dhagaʼi; naaf araarami; deebiis naaf kenni.

Yahweh, listen to me while I pray. Be kind to me and answer my prayer.

8 Yommuu ati, “Fuula koo barbaadaa!” jettetti, garaan koo, “Yaa Waaqayyo, ani fuula kee nan barbaada” siin jedha.

I sensed that I heard you say, “Come and worship me [IDM],” so, Yahweh, I will worship you.

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.

I am your servant; Do not be angry with me and turn away from me. You have always helped me. You are the one who has saved me, so do not abandon me [now].

10 Yoo abbaan kootii fi haati koo na dhiisan illee, Waaqayyo na simata.

[Even] if my father and mother desert me, you will take care of [IDM] me.

11 Yaa Waaqayyo, karaa kee na barsiisi; sababii ani diinota baayʼee qabuuf daandii qajeelaa irra na buusi.

Yahweh, teach me to do what you want me to do, and lead me on a safe path because I have many enemies.

12 Fedhii diinota kootiitti dabarsitee na hin kennin; dhuga baatonni sobduun narratti kaʼaniiruutii; isaanis hafuura jalʼinaa baafatu.

Do not allow my enemies to do to me what they want; they say many false things about me and [threaten to do] violent things to me.

13 Anis biyya jiraattotaa keessatti gaarummaa Waaqayyoo akkan argu amma iyyuu nan amana.

But I know that because I trust in you you will be good to me as long as I live.

14 Waaqayyoon eeggadhu; cimi; jabaadhus; Waaqayyoon eeggadhu.

So trust in Yahweh, [all of you]! Be strong and courageous, and wait expectantly for him [to help you]!
