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 David. A psalm for the dedication of the Temple. I want to tell everyone how good you are, Lord, for you saved me, and you didn't let my enemies triumph over me.

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

Lord, my God, I called out to you for help, and you have healed me.

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

Lord, you rescued me from the grave, you brought me back to life, saving me from going down into the pit of death. (Sheol h7585)

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

You who trust the Lord, sing praises to him, and be thankful for his holy character!

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

For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.

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

When things were going well, I said, “Nothing will ever shake me!”

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

Lord, when you showed me your favor I stood as strong as a mountain; when you turned away from me I was terrified.

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

I called out to you for help, Lord. I asked the Lord for grace, saying,

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

What would you gain if I die, if I go down into the pit of death? Would my dust praise you? Would it tell of your trustworthiness?

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

Please listen to me, Lord, and be gracious to me! Lord, you are the one who helps me.

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

You have turned my weeping into dancing. You have taken off my clothes of sackcloth and dressed me in happiness,

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

so I can sing praises to you and not keep quiet. Lord my God, I will thank you forever!
