Faarfannaa 30

1 Faarfannaa eebba mana qulqullummaatiif Faarfatame. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, sababii ati ol na fuutee akka diinonni koo natti hin gammanne gooteef, ani sin jajadha.

A psalm of a canticle, at the dedication of David’s house. I will extol thee, O Lord, for thou hast upheld me: and hast not made my enemies to rejoice over me.

2 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ani gargaarsaaf sin waammadhe; atis na fayyifte.

O Lord my God, I have cried to thee, and then hast healed me.

3 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati lubbuu koo siiʼoolii baafte; akka ani boolla hin buune gootees na jiraachifte. (Sheol h7585)

Thou hast brought forth, O Lord, my soul from hell: thou hast saved me from them that go down into the pit. (Sheol h7585)

4 Isin qulqulloonni isaa, faarfannaadhaan Waaqayyoon jajadhaa; maqaa isaa qulqulluu sanaafis galata galchaa.

Sing to the Lord, O ye his saints: and give praise to the memory of his holiness.

5 Dheekkamsi isaa hamma liphsuu ijaa ti; gaarummaan isaa immoo bara jireenyaa guutuudhaaf tura; booʼichi galgala tokko qofaaf tura; ganama garuu ililleetu taʼa.

For wrath is in his indignation; and life in his good will. In the evening weeping shall have place, and in the morning gladness.

6 Anis yommuun nagaa argadhetti, “Ani gonkumaa hin raafamu” nan jedhe.

And in my abundance I said: I shall never be moved.

7 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati jaalala keetiin akka tulluu jabaatti na dhaabde; yeroo ati fuula kee na duraa dhoksitetti garuu naasuutu na qabate.

O Lord, in thy favour, thou gavest strength to my beauty. Thou turnedst away thy face from me, and I became troubled.

8 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani sin waammadha; ani gara Gooftaatti akkana jedhee araaraaf nan iyyadha:

To thee, O Lord, will I cry: and I will make supplication to my God.

9 “Duʼuu koo keessaa, boolla buʼuu koo keessaas faayidaa maaliitu argama? Biyyoon si galateeffataa? Amanamummaa kees ni odeessaa?

What profit is there in my blood, whilst I go down to corruption? Shall dust confess to thee, or declare thy truth?

10 Yaa Waaqayyo na dhagaʼi; na maaris; Yaa Waaqayyo, gargaarsa naa taʼi.”

The Lord hath heard, and hath had mercy on me: the Lord became my helper.

11 Ati booʼicha koo shuubbisuutti geeddarte; wayyaa gaddaa narraa baaftee gammachuu natti uwwifte;

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into joy: thou hast cut my sackcloth, and hast compassed me with gladness:

12 kunis akka lubbuun koo faarfannaadhaan si jajattuu fi akka isheen hin calʼisneefii dha. Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ani bara baraan sin galateeffadha.

To the end that my glory may sing to thee, and I may not regret: O Lord my God, I will give praise to thee for ever.
