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.

Yahweh, I praise you because you rescued me. You did not allow [me to die], [with the result that] my enemies could gloat/rejoice.

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

Yahweh, my God, I called out for you to help [me when I was ill], and you healed me.

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

You saved/restored me when I was dying [MTY]. I was nearly dead, but you caused me to get well again. (Sheol h7585)

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

All you who belong to Yahweh, sing praise to him! Think about what [God], the holy one, has done, and thank him!

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

When he becomes angry, he is angry for only a very short time [HYP], but he is good [to us] all of our life. We may cry during the night, but the next morning we will be joyful.

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

As for me, when I had no troubles, I said [to myself], “No one will defeat me!”

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

Yahweh, because you were good to me, at first you caused me to be safe [as though I was inside] [MET] a mountain. But then [I became ill, and I thought that] you had turned away from me, and I became afraid.

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

[Then] I called out to you, and I pleaded for you [to help me].

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

[I said], “Yahweh, (what will you gain if I die?/ you won’t gain anything if I die) [MTY]. (In what way will it benefit you?/it won’t benefit you at all) if I go to the place where the dead people are [RHQ]. Dead people are certainly not able to praise you [RHQ], and they are not able to tell others that you are trustworthy [RHQ]!

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

Yahweh, listen to me, and be merciful to me! Yahweh, help me!”

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

But [now you have healed me], and you have caused me to change from being sad to dancing [joyfully]. You have taken away the clothes that showed that I was very sad and you have given me clothes that showed that I was [very] joyful.

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 will not be silent; I will sing out [loudly] to praise you. Yahweh, you are my God, and I will thank you forever.
