Faarfannaa 31
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani kooluu sitti galeera; ati gonkumaa na hin qaanessin; qajeelummaa keetiin na oolchi.
To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. In you, O Lord, have I put my hope; let me never be shamed; keep me safe in your righteousness.
2 Gurra kee gara kootti qabi; dafiitii na oolchi; kattaa ani itti kooluu galu naa taʼi; na oolchuudhaafis daʼoo jabaa naa taʼi.
Let your ear be turned to me; take me quickly out of danger; be my strong Rock, my place of strength where I may be safe.
3 Ati waan kattaa koo fi daʼoo koo taateef, maqaa keetiif jedhiitii na qajeelchi; karaa irras na buusi.
For you are my Rock and my strong tower; go in front of me and be my guide, because of your name.
4 Ati iddoo ani itti baqadhu waan taateef, kiyyoo diinonni koo naa kaaʼan keessaa na baasi.
Take me out of the net which they have put ready for me secretly; for you are my strength.
5 Ani hafuura koo dabarsee harka keettin kennadha; yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa dhugaa, ati na furi.
Into your hands I give my spirit; you are my saviour, O Lord God for ever true.
6 Ani warra waaqota faayidaa hin qabne abdatan nan jibba; Waaqayyoon garuu nan amanadha.
I am full of hate for those who go after false gods; but my hope is in the Lord.
7 Ani jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sanatti nan gammada; nan ililchas; ati dhiphina koo argiteertaatii; rakkina lubbuu kootii illee beekteerta.
I will be glad and have delight in your mercy; because you have seen my trouble; you have had pity on my soul in its sorrows;
8 Ati dabarsitee diinatti na hin kennine; miilla koos iddoo balʼaa irra dhaabdeerta.
And you have not given me into the hand of my hater; you have put my feet in a wide place.
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani dhiphina keessan jiraatii na baasi; iji koo gaddaan, lubbuun koo fi dhagni koo gaddaan dadhabaniiru.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am in trouble; my eyes are wasted with grief, I am wasted in soul and body.
10 Jireenyi koo gaddaan, umuriin koo aaduudhaan dhumeera; jabinni koo sababii dhiphina kootiitiif laafeera; lafeen koos xuuxameera.
My life goes on in sorrow, and my years in weeping; my strength is almost gone because of my sin, and my bones are wasted away.
11 Sababii diinota koo hundaatiif, ani olloota koo biratti waan sodaachisaa, michoota koo biratti immoo waan jibbisiisaa taʼeera; warri karaa irratti na arganis na baqatu.
Because of all those who are against me, I have become a word of shame to my neighbours; a cause of shaking the head and a fear to my friends: those who saw me in the street went in flight from me.
12 Ani akkuma nama duʼeetti irraanfatameera; akkuma qodaa cabaas nan taʼe.
I have gone from men's minds and memory like a dead man; I am like a broken vessel.
13 Asaasa namoota baayʼee nan dhagaʼaatii; kallattii hundaan sodaatu jira! Isaan natti malatanii lubbuu koo balleessuuf mariʼatan.
False statements against me have come to my ears; fear was on every side: they were talking together against me, designing to take away my life.
14 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani garuu sin amanadha; “Ati Waaqa koo ti” nan jedha.
But I had faith in you, O Lord; I said, You are my God.
15 Barri koo si harka jira; diinota koo jalaa, warra na ariʼatan harkaas na baasi.
The chances of my life are in your hand; take me out of the hands of my haters, and of those who go after me.
16 Fuulli kee tajaajilaa kee irratti haa ifu; jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sanaanis na baraari.
Let your servant see the light of your face; in your mercy be my saviour.
17 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani hin qaaneffamin; ani si waammadheeraatii; warri hamoon garuu haa qaaneffaman; calʼisaniis siiʼool keessa haa buʼan. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be shamed, O Lord, for I have made my prayer to you; let the sinners be shamed, and let their mouths be shut in the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
18 Afaan soba dubbatu, kan of tuulummaa fi tuffiidhaan, nama qajeelaatti kooree dubbatu haa duudu.
Let the false lips be shut, which say evil against the upright, looking down on him in their pride.
19 Gaarummaan kee kan ati warra si sodaataniif ol keesse, kan ati fuula namootaa duratti warra kooluu sitti galaniif kennite akkam guddaa dha!
O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!
20 Daʼoo fuula keetiitiin, waan namoonni isaanitti malatan jalaa isaan dhoksita; dunkaana kee keessattis dubbiin tuttuquu jalaa isaan daʼeessita.
You will keep them safe in your house from the designs of man; in the secret of your tent will you keep them from angry tongues.
21 Waaqayyo haa eebbifamu; inni yeroo ani magaalaa marfamte keessa turetti, jaalala isaa dinqisiisaa sana na argisiiseeraatii.
May the Lord be praised, because he has made clear to me the wonder of his grace in a strong town.
22 Ani yeroon akka malee dhiphadhetti, “Ani fuula kee duraa badeera!” jedheen ture. Ati garuu yeroo ani gargaarsaaf sitti iyyadhetti, kadhannaa koo naa dhageesse.
And as for me, I said in my fear, I am cut off from before your eyes; but you gave ear to the voice of my prayer, when my cry went up to you.
23 Qulqulloonni isaa hundinuu, Waaqayyoon jaalladhaa! Waaqayyo amanamoota ni eega; of tuultotaaf garuu akkuma hojii isaaniitti irra dabarsee deebisaaf.
O have love for the Lord, all you his saints; for the Lord keeps safe from danger all those who are true to him, and gives the workers of pride their right reward.
24 Warri Waaqayyoon abdattan hundinuu jabaadhaa; garaan keessan hin sodaatin.
Put away fear and let your heart be strong, all you whose hope is in the Lord.
