Faarfannaa 36

1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit Garbicha Waaqayyoo. Ani waaʼee cubbamootaa, ergaa Waaqa bira dhufe garaa koo keessaa qaba: Waaqa sodaachuun ija isaanii dura hin jiru.

For the end, by David the servant of the Lord. The transgressor, that he may sin, says within himself, [that] there is no fear of God before his eyes.

2 Akka cubbuun isaanii ifatti baʼee hin jibbamneefis, isaan ijuma ofii isaanii duratti akka malee of saadu.

For he has dealt craftily before him, to discover his iniquity and hate it.

3 Dubbiin afaan isaanii jalʼinaa fi gowwoomsaa dha; isaan ogummaadhaan hojjechuu fi waan gaarii gochuu dhiisaniiru.

The words of his mouth are transgression and deceit: he is not inclined to understand [how] to do good.

4 Siree isaanii irratti iyyuu isaan hammina xaxu; karaa cubbuutti of kennu; waan hamaas hin lagatan.

He devises iniquity on his bed; he gives himself to every evil way; and does not abhor evil.

5 Yaa Waaqayyo, araarri kee samiiwwan bira, amanamummaan kees duumessa bira gaʼa.

O Lord, your mercy is in the heaven; and your truth [reaches] to the clouds.

6 Qajeelummaan kee akka tulluuwwan gurguddaa ti; murtiin kees akkuma tuujuba guddaa ti. Yaa Waaqayyo, ati namaa fi bineensa ni jiraachifta.

Your righteousness is as the mountains of God, your judgments are as a great deep: O Lord, you will preserve men and beasts.

7 Yaa Waaqi, jaalalli kee inni hin geeddaramne sun akkam ulfina qabeessa! Ilmaan namootaa, gaaddisa qoochoo keetii jalatti kooluu galu.

How have you multiplied your mercy, O God! so the children of men shall trust in the shelter of your wings.

8 Isaan badhaadhummaa mana keetii nyaatanii quufu; atis laga gammachuu keetii irraa isaan obaafta.

They shall be fully satisfied with the fatness of your house; and you shall cause them to drink of the full stream of your delights.

9 Burqaan jireenyaa si bira jiraatii; nu ifa keetiin ifa argina.

For with you is the fountain of life: in your light we shall see light.

10 Jaalala kee warra si beekaniif, qajeelummaa kees gara toleeyyiidhaaf ittuma fufi.

Extend your mercy to them that know you; and your righteousness to the upright in heart.

11 Miilli of tuultotaa natti hin dhufin; harki hamootaas dhiibee na hin fageessin.

Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of sinners move me.

12 Warri waan hamaa hojjetan kunoo kufanii diriiraniiru; gad darbatamaniiru; kaʼuus hin dandaʼan!

There have all the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast out, and shall not be able to stand.
