Faarfannaa 32
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Maskiil. Namni yakki isaa dhiifameef, kan cubbuun isaas haguugameef, eebbifamaa dha.
Those whom God has forgiven for rebelling against him, whose stains [MET] of sin have been wiped away, are truly blessed [by God]!
2 Namni Waaqayyo cubbuu itti hin lakkoofne, kan hafuura isaa keessas gowwoomsaan hin jirre, eebbifamaa dha.
Those whose record of their sins Yahweh has erased, those who no longer do deceitful things, are [truly] blessed [by God]!
3 Yeroo ani cubbuu koo himachuu dhiisetti, guyyaa guutuu aaduu kootiin, lafeen koo ni bosose.
When I did not confess my sins, (my body/I) was very weak and sick, and I groaned (all day long/continually).
4 Harki kee halkanii fi guyyaa natti ulfaateeraatii; jabinni koos akkuma waan hoʼa bonaatiin taʼuutti xuuxame.
Day and night, [Yahweh], you [SYN] punished me severely. My strength drained away like [water that] ([evaporates/dries up]) on a hot summer [day].
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.
[Then/Finally] I admitted/confessed my sins to you; I stopped trying to hide them. (Think about that!) I said [to myself], “I will confess to Yahweh the wrong things that I have done.” And [when I confessed them], you forgave me, so now I (am no longer guilty/will no longer be punished) for my sins.
6 Kanaafuu namni amanamaan kam iyyuu, yeroo ati itti argamtutti si haa kadhatu; lolaan bishaan guddaas isa bira hin gaʼu.
Therefore, the people who are godly should pray to you [when they] (realize that they have sinned/have difficulties). If they pray to you, [difficulties] [MET] will not overwhelm them [like] a great flood.
7 Ati iddoo ani itti dhokadhuu dha; rakkina irraa na eegda; faarfannaa moʼannaatiinis na marsita.
You are [like] a place where I can hide [from my enemies] [MET], you protect me from troubles, and you (enable me/[put people around me who will enable me]) to shout, praising you for saving me [from my enemies].
8 Ani karaa ati irra deemtu irratti sin qajeelcha; sin barsiisas; ani ija koo jaalalaatiin sin ilaala; sin gorsa.
[Yahweh says], “I will teach you about how you should conduct your life. I will instruct you and watch over you.
9 Isin akka farda yookaan gaangoo hubannaa hin qabnee hin taʼinaa; isaan yoo luugamaa fi fuuloodhaan qabaman malee gara kee hin dhufan.
Do not be stupid like horses and mules that do not have understanding; they need (bits/pieces of metal put in their mouths) and (bridles/ropes fastened to their head) so they will go in the direction you want them to go.”
10 Dhiphinni namoota hamoo baayʼee dha; araarri Waaqayyoo garuu nama isa amanatu ni marsa.
Wicked people will have many [troubles that will make them] sad, but those who trust in Yahweh will experience him faithfully loving them all the time.
11 Yaa qajeeltota, isin Waaqayyotti gammadaa; ililchaas; warri garaa qulqulluu qabdan hundinuu ililchaa.
[So, all] you righteous people, rejoice about what Yahweh [has done for you]; you whose (inner beings/lives) are pure, be glad and shout joyfully!
