Faarfannaa 3
1 Faarfannaa Daawit yeroo ilma isaa Abesaaloom jalaa baqatetti faarfate. Yaa Waaqayyo, diinonni koo akkam baayʼatu! Namoonni baayʼeen natti kaʼaniiru!
A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Namoonni baayʼeen, “Waaqni isa hin baraaru” jedhanii waaʼee koo dubbatu.
Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” (Selah)
3 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu naannoo kootti gaachana koo ti; ulfina kootis; mataa koos kan ol qabdu suma.
But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 Ani guddisee Waaqayyotti nan iyyadha; innis tulluu isaa qulqulluu irraa deebii naa kenna.
I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. (Selah)
5 Ani nan ciisa; nan rafas; waan Waaqayyo ol na qabuuf nan dammaqa.
I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.
6 Saba kumaatama qixa hundaan kaʼee na marse ani hin sodaadhu.
I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo kaʼi! Yaa Waaqa koo na baraari! Mangaagaa diinota kootii hundumaa rukuti; ilkaan hamootaa illee caccabsi.
Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Fayyinni kan Waaqayyoo ti. Eebbi kee saba kee irra haa jiraatu.
Salvation belongs to Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people. (Selah)
