Faarfannaa 32

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Maskiil. Namni yakki isaa dhiifameef, kan cubbuun isaas haguugameef, eebbifamaa dha.

[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.

2 Namni Waaqayyo cubbuu itti hin lakkoofne, kan hafuura isaa keessas gowwoomsaan hin jirre, eebbifamaa dha.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.

3 Yeroo ani cubbuu koo himachuu dhiisetti, guyyaa guutuu aaduu kootiin, lafeen koo ni bosose.

Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.

4 Harki kee halkanii fi guyyaa natti ulfaateeraatii; jabinni koos akkuma waan hoʼa bonaatiin taʼuutti xuuxame.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)

5 Ergasiis cubbuu koo sitti nan himadhe; balleessaa koos si hin dhokfanne. Anis, “Irra daddarba koo, Waaqayyootti nan himadha” nan jedhe; atis yakka cubbuu kootii, naa dhiifteerta.

I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and you forgave the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)

6 Kanaafuu namni amanamaan kam iyyuu, yeroo ati itti argamtutti si haa kadhatu; lolaan bishaan guddaas isa bira hin gaʼu.

Therefore shall every holy one pray to you in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.

7 Ati iddoo ani itti dhokadhuu dha; rakkina irraa na eegda; faarfannaa moʼannaatiinis na marsita.

You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)

8 Ani karaa ati irra deemtu irratti sin qajeelcha; sin barsiisas; ani ija koo jaalalaatiin sin ilaala; sin gorsa.

I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix mine eyes upon you.

9 Isin akka farda yookaan gaangoo hubannaa hin qabnee hin taʼinaa; isaan yoo luugamaa fi fuuloodhaan qabaman malee gara kee hin dhufan.

Be you not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but you must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.

10 Dhiphinni namoota hamoo baayʼee dha; araarri Waaqayyoo garuu nama isa amanatu ni marsa.

Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.

11 Yaa qajeeltota, isin Waaqayyotti gammadaa; ililchaas; warri garaa qulqulluu qabdan hundinuu ililchaa.

Be glad in the Lord, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.
