Faarfannaa 34
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Innis fuula Abiimelek duratti maraatuu of fakkeesseef Abiimelek isa ariinaan yeroo achii deemetti faarfate. Ani yeroo hunda Waaqayyoon nan eebbisa; galanni isaas yeroo hunda afaanii na hin buʼu.
[By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.] I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
2 Lubbuun koo Waaqayyoon boonti; cunqurfamtoonni dhagaʼanii haa gammadan.
My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
3 Na wajjin Waaqayyoof ulfina kennaa; kottaa walii wajjin maqaa isaa ol kaafnaa.
Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let us exalt his name together.
4 Waaqayyoon nan barbaaddadhe; innis deebii naa kenne; sodaa koo hunda keessaas na baase.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Warri gara isaa ilaalan ni ifu; fuulli isaaniis yoom iyyuu hin qaanaʼu.
They looked to him and were radiant, and their faces are not ashamed.
6 Hiyyeessi kun ni iyye; Waaqayyos isa dhagaʼe; rakkina isaa hundumaa keessaas isa baase.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 Ergamaan Waaqayyoo naannoo warra Waaqa sodaatanii ni qubata; isaan ni oolchas.
The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Akka Waaqayyo gaarii taʼe mee miʼeeffadhaa ilaalaa; namni isatti kooluu galu eebbifamaa dha.
Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Isin qulqulloonni isaa Waaqayyoon sodaadhaa; warri isa sodaatan homaa hin dhabaniitii.
Oh fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for there is no lack with those who fear him.
10 Leenci saafelli iyyuu waa ni dhaba; ni beelaʼas; namni Waaqayyoon barbaaddatu garuu waan gaarii tokko illee hin dhabu.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
11 Yaa ijoollee ko, kottaa na dhagaʼaa; anis Waaqayyoon sodaachuu isinan barsiisa.
Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Namni jireenya jaallatu, kan bara gaarii arguudhaafis bara baayʼee hawwu eenyu?
Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Arraba kee waan hamaa irraa, afaan kees soba dubbachuu irraa eeggadhu.
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Hammina irraa deebiʼi; gaarii hojjedhu; nagaa barbaadi; duukaa buʼis.
Turn away from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Iji Waaqayyoo qajeeltota irra jira; gurri isaas iyya isaaniitiif banamaa dha;
The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
16 yaadannoo isaanii lafa irraa balleessuudhaaf, fuulli Waaqayyoo warra hamaa hojjetanitti ni hammaata.
The LORD's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 Qajeeltonni gargaarsaaf iyyatu; Waaqayyos isaan dhagaʼa. Rakkina isaanii hunda keessaas isaan baasa.
The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 Waaqayyo warra garaan isaanii cabetti dhiʼoo dha; warra abdii kutatanis ni fayyisa.
The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
19 Rakkinni nama qajeelaa baayʼee dha; Waaqayyo garuu hunda isaa jalaa isa baasa;
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 lafee isaa hunda ni eega; isaan keessaas tokko illee hin cabu.
He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
21 Hamoota hamminatu ajjeesa; warra nama qajeelaa jibbanitti ni murteeffama.
Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 Waaqayyo lubbuu tajaajiltoota isaa ni fura; warra isatti kooluu galan keessaa tokkotti illee hin murteeffamu.
The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
