Faarfannaa 31
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani kooluu sitti galeera; ati gonkumaa na hin qaanessin; qajeelummaa keetiin na oolchi.
For the leader. A psalm of David. In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. Rescue me in your faithfulness;
2 Gurra kee gara kootti qabi; dafiitii na oolchi; kattaa ani itti kooluu galu naa taʼi; na oolchuudhaafis daʼoo jabaa naa taʼi.
incline to me your ear. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me.
3 Ati waan kattaa koo fi daʼoo koo taateef, maqaa keetiif jedhiitii na qajeelchi; karaa irras na buusi.
For my rock and my fortress are you; lead me and guide me so your name will be honoured.
4 Ati iddoo ani itti baqadhu waan taateef, kiyyoo diinonni koo naa kaaʼan keessaa na baasi.
Draw me out of the net they have hid for me, for you yourself are my refuge.
5 Ani hafuura koo dabarsee harka keettin kennadha; yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa dhugaa, ati na furi.
Into your hand I commend my spirit: you ransom me, Lord, faithful God.
6 Ani warra waaqota faayidaa hin qabne abdatan nan jibba; Waaqayyoon garuu nan amanadha.
I hate those devoted to worthless idols; I trust 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 rejoice and be glad in your love, because you have looked on my misery, and cared for me in my distress.
8 Ati dabarsitee diinatti na hin kennine; miilla koos iddoo balʼaa irra dhaabdeerta.
You have not given me into the enemy’s hand, you have set my feet in a spacious place.
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani dhiphina keessan jiraatii na baasi; iji koo gaddaan, lubbuun koo fi dhagni koo gaddaan dadhabaniiru.
Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am distressed; my eye is wasted away with sorrow.
10 Jireenyi koo gaddaan, umuriin koo aaduudhaan dhumeera; jabinni koo sababii dhiphina kootiitiif laafeera; lafeen koos xuuxameera.
For my life is consumed with grief, and my years with sighing. My strength is broken with misery, my bones waste 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.
The scorn of all my foes, the butt of my neighbours am I, a terror to my acquaintance. At the sight of me in the street people turn quickly away.
12 Ani akkuma nama duʼeetti irraanfatameera; akkuma qodaa cabaas nan taʼe.
I am clean forgotten like the dead, am become like a ruined vessel.
13 Asaasa namoota baayʼee nan dhagaʼaatii; kallattii hundaan sodaatu jira! Isaan natti malatanii lubbuu koo balleessuuf mariʼatan.
I hear the whispers of many – terror on every side – scheming together against me, plotting to take my life.
14 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani garuu sin amanadha; “Ati Waaqa koo ti” nan jedha.
But my trust is in you, Lord. ‘You are my God,’ I say;
15 Barri koo si harka jira; diinota koo jalaa, warra na ariʼatan harkaas na baasi.
my times are in your hand, save me from the hand of the foes who pursue me.
16 Fuulli kee tajaajilaa kee irratti haa ifu; jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramne sanaanis na baraari.
Make your face to shine on your servant, save me in your love.
17 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani hin qaaneffamin; ani si waammadheeraatii; warri hamoon garuu haa qaaneffaman; calʼisaniis siiʼool keessa haa buʼan. (Sheol h7585)
Put me not, O Lord, to shame, for I have called upon you. Let the wicked be put to shame silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
18 Afaan soba dubbatu, kan of tuulummaa fi tuffiidhaan, nama qajeelaatti kooree dubbatu haa duudu.
Strike the false lips dumb, that speak proudly against the righteous with haughtiness and contempt.
19 Gaarummaan kee kan ati warra si sodaataniif ol keesse, kan ati fuula namootaa duratti warra kooluu sitti galaniif kennite akkam guddaa dha!
How great is the goodness you have treasured for those who fear you, and wrought for those who take refuge in you, in plain sight of all!
20 Daʼoo fuula keetiitiin, waan namoonni isaanitti malatan jalaa isaan dhoksita; dunkaana kee keessattis dubbiin tuttuquu jalaa isaan daʼeessita.
In your sheltering wings you hide them from plottings of people, you keep them safe in a bower from the chiding of tongues.
21 Waaqayyo haa eebbifamu; inni yeroo ani magaalaa marfamte keessa turetti, jaalala isaa dinqisiisaa sana na argisiiseeraatii.
Blest be the Lord for the wonderful love he has shown me in time of distress.
22 Ani yeroon akka malee dhiphadhetti, “Ani fuula kee duraa badeera!” jedheen ture. Ati garuu yeroo ani gargaarsaaf sitti iyyadhetti, kadhannaa koo naa dhageesse.
For I had said in panic, ‘I am driven clean out of your sight.’ But you heard my plea, when I cried to you for help.
23 Qulqulloonni isaa hundinuu, Waaqayyoon jaalladhaa! Waaqayyo amanamoota ni eega; of tuultotaaf garuu akkuma hojii isaaniitti irra dabarsee deebisaaf.
Love the Lord, all you faithful; the Lord protects the loyal, but repays the haughty in full.
24 Warri Waaqayyoon abdattan hundinuu jabaadhaa; garaan keessan hin sodaatin.
Let your hearts be courageous and strong, all you who wait on the Lord.
