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.

To the Overseer. — By a servant of Jehovah, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,

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

For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.

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

The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently — to do good.

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

Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'

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

O Jehovah, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.

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

Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O Jehovah.

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

How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.

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

They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.

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

For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.

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

Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.

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

Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.

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

There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!
