Faarfannaa 28
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, Kattaa ko, ani sin waammadha; ati na jalaa hin didin. Yoo ati na jalaa didde, ani akka warra boolla buʼanii nan taʼa.
Yahweh, I call out to you; [you are like an overhanging] rock [under which I can hide]. Do not refuse to answer me, because if you are silent, I will soon be with those who are in their graves.
2 Yommuu ani gargaarsaaf si waammadhee harka koo illee gara Iddoo Qulqullummaa kee kan Waan Hundumaa Caalaa Qulqulluu taʼe sanaatti ol kaafadhu, sagalee kadhannaa koo naa dhagaʼi.
Listen to me when I call out for you [to help me], when I pray, lifting up my hands as I face your sacred temple.
3 Namoota hamoo warra jalʼina hojjetan wajjin, warra garaa isaaniitti hammina qabatanii olloota isaanii wajjin garuu nagaa dubbatan wajjin na hin balleessin.
Do not drag me away with wicked people, with those who do wicked deeds, with those who pretend [to act] peacefully toward others while in their inner beings, they hate them.
4 Akka hojii isaaniitti, akkuma hojii isaanii hamaa sanaattis deebisiif; akkuma hojii harka isaaniitti kenniif; gatii isaaniif malu isaanumatti deebisi.
Punish those people in the way that they deserve for what they have done; punish them for their evil deeds [DOU].
5 Sababii isaan hojii Waaqayyoo, yookaan waan harki isaa hojjete hin kabajneef inni isaan diiga; deebisees isaan hin ijaaru.
Yahweh, they do not pay attention to the [wonderful] things that you have done and that you have created; so get rid of them permanently and do not let them appear again!
6 Waaqayyo haa eebbifamu! Inni iyya kadhannaa kootii naa dhagaʼeeraatii.
Praise Yahweh because he has heard me when I called out for him to help me!
7 Waaqayyo jabina koo fi gaachana koo ti; garaan koo isa amanata; anis gargaarsa argadheera. Garaan koo baayʼee gammada; anis faarfannaadhaan isa nan galateeffadha.
Yahweh makes me strong and [protects] me [like a shield] [MET]; I trusted in him, and he helped me. I was glad, and from my inner being I praised him as I sang to him.
8 Waaqayyo jabina saba isaa ti; dibamaa isaatiifis daʼoo fayyinaa ti.
Yahweh causes us to be strong and protects us; and he saves me, the one he appointed [MTY] to be king.
9 Saba kee fayyisi; dhaala kees eebbisi; tiksee isaanii taʼii bara baraan isaan baadhu.
Yahweh, save/rescue your people; bless those who belong to you. [Take care of them like] a shepherd [takes care of his sheep] [MET]; take care of them forever.
