Faarfannaa 37
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Ati sababii namoota hamootiif jettee hin aarin yookaan warra jalʼina hojjetanitti hin hinaafin.
A Psalm of David himself. Do not choose to imitate the malicious; neither should you envy those who work iniquity.
2 Isaan akkuma margaa dafanii coollagu; akkuma biqiltuu misee dafanii gogu.
For they will quickly wither away like dry grass, and in like manner to kitchen herbs, they will soon droop.
3 Waaqayyoon amanadhu; waan gaariis hojjedhu; biyyattii keessa jiraadhu; nagaas qabaadhu.
Hope in the Lord and do good, and dwell in the land, and so you shall be pastured with its riches.
4 Waaqayyotti gammadi; innis hawwii garaa keetii siif guuta.
Delight in the Lord, and he will grant to you the petitions of your heart.
5 Karaa kee Waaqayyotti kennadhu; isa amanadhu; inni siif milkeessa.
Reveal your way to the Lord, and hope in him, and he will accomplish it.
6 Inni qajeelummaa kee akka aduu ganamaatti, murtii kee immoo akka aduu saafaatti ibsa.
And he will bring forth your justice like the light, and your judgment like the midday.
7 Waaqayyo duratti calʼisi; obsaanis isa eeggadhu; nama karaan isaa qajeeleefitti, kan hammina hojjetuttis hin hinaafin.
Be subject to the Lord and pray to him. Do not choose to compete with him who prospers in his way, with the man who does injustice.
8 Aarii irraa of eegi; dheekkamsa irraas deebiʼi; hin aarin; aariin hammina qofatti nama geessaatii.
Cease from wrath and leave behind rage. Do not choose to imitate the malicious.
9 Namoonni hamoon ni balleeffamuutii; warri Waaqayyoon abdatan garuu lafa dhaalu.
For those who are malicious will be exterminated. But those who remain with the Lord, these will inherit the land.
10 Namoonni hamoon yeroo xinnoodhaaf malee siʼachi hin jiraatan; yoo ati isaan barbaadde illee hin argaman.
Yet still a little while, and the sinner will not be. And you will search his place and find nothing.
11 Garraamonni garuu lafa ni dhaalu; nagaa guddaadhaanis ni gammadu.
But the meek shall inherit the earth, and they will delight in the multitude of peace.
12 Namoonni hamoon nama qajeelaatti mariʼatu; ilkaan isaaniis isatti qaratu;
The sinner will observe the just, and he will gnash his teeth over him.
13 Gooftaan hamootatti ni kolfa; inni akka guyyaan isaanii dhiʼaate ni beekaatii.
But the Lord will laugh at him: for he knows in advance that his day will come.
14 Namoonni hamoon hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota lafaan dhaʼuudhaaf, warra karaan isaanii qajeelaa taʼe immoo gorraʼuudhaaf, goraadee isaanii luqqifatu; iddaa isaaniis ni dabsatu.
The sinners have drawn the sword, they have bent their bow, so as to cast down the poor and the needy, so as to massacre the upright of heart.
15 Goraadeen isaanii garuu garaadhuma isaanii waraana; iddaan isaaniis ni caccaba.
Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
16 Badhaadhummaa hamoonni baayʼeen qaban irra, waan xinnoo namni qajeelaan qabu wayya;
A little is better to the just than the many riches of sinners.
17 humni hamootaa ni cabaatii; Waaqayyo garuu qajeeltota jabeessee ni dhaaba.
For the arms of sinners will be crushed, but the Lord confirms the just.
18 Waaqayyo bara tolootaa ni beeka; dhaalli isaaniis bara baraan jiraata.
The Lord knows the days of the immaculate, and their inheritance will be in eternity.
19 Isaan bara hamaa keessa hin qaanaʼan; bara beelaa keessas ni quufu.
They will not be confounded in an evil time; and in days of famine, they will be satisfied:
20 Namoonni hamoon garuu ni barbadaaʼu; diinonni Waaqayyoos akkuma miidhagina daraaraa dirree ti; isaan ni badu; akkuma aaraa ni badu.
for sinners will perish. Truly, the adversaries of the Lord, soon after they have been honored and exalted, will fade away, in the same way that smoke fades away.
21 Namoonni hamoon ni liqeeffatu; garuu deebisanii of irraa hin baasan; qajeeltonni garuu arjummaadhaan kennu;
The sinner will lend and not release, but the just one shows compassion and donates.
22 warri Waaqayyo eebbisu lafa ni dhaalu; warri inni abaaru garuu ni balleeffamu.
For those who bless him will inherit the earth, but those who curse him will perish.
23 Adeemsi nama Waaqayyo biraa ajajama; inni karaa namicha sanaatti ni gammada.
The steps of a man will be directed by the Lord, and he will choose his way.
24 Inni yoo gufate illee lafa hin gaʼu; Waaqayyo harka isaatiin qabee isa dhaabaatii.
When he falls, he will not be harmed, because the Lord places his hand under him.
25 Ani dargaggeessan ture; amma immoo dulloomeera; garuu qajeeltonni gatamuu isaanii yookaan ijoolleen isaaniis buddeena kadhachuu isaanii hin argine.
I have been young, and now I am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his offspring seeking bread.
26 Qajeeltonni yeroo hundumaa ni arjoomu; ni liqeessus; ijoolleen isaaniis ni eebbifamu.
He shows compassion and lends, all day long, and his offspring will be in blessing.
27 Waan hamaa irraa deebiʼiitii waan gaarii hojjedhu; yoos ati bara baraan ni jiraatta.
Turn away from evil and do good, and dwell forever and ever.
28 Waaqayyo murtii qajeelaa jaallataatii; warra isaaf amanamanis hin gatu. Isaanis bara baraan ni eegamu; sanyiin hamootaa garuu ni balleeffama.
For the Lord loves judgment, and he will not abandon his saints. They will be kept safe in eternity. The unjust will be punished, and the offspring of the impious will perish.
29 Qajeeltonni lafa ni dhaalu; bara baraanis ishee irra ni jiraatu.
But the just will inherit the earth, and they will dwell upon it forever and ever.
30 Afaan nama qajeelaa ogummaa dubbata; arrabni isaas murtii qajeelaa labsa.
The mouth of the just one will express wisdom, and his tongue will speak judgment.
31 Seerri Waaqa isaa garaa isaa keessa jira; miilli isaas hin mucucaatu.
The law of his God is in his heart, and his steps shall not be supplanted.
32 Namoonni hamoon qajeeltota gaadu; isaan ajjeesuus ni barbaadu;
The sinner considers the just one and seeks to put him to death.
33 Waaqayyo garuu harka isaaniitti jara hin dhiisu yookaan yommuu isaan murtiitti dhiʼeeffamanitti, akka isaanitti murteeffamu hin eeyyamu.
But the Lord will not abandon him into his hands, nor condemn him, when he will be judged.
34 Waaqayyoon eeggadhu; karaa isaas eegi. Inni akka ati lafa dhaaltuuf ulfina siif kenna; atis badiisa hamootaa ni argita.
Wait for the Lord, and keep to his way. And he will exalt you, so as to inherit the land that you may seize. When the sinners will have passed away, then you shall see.
35 Nama hamaa fi gara jabeessa, isaa akkuma muka iddoon isaa itti tolee jiru nan arge.
I have seen the impious over-exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Lebanon.
36 Ergasiis achiin nan darbe; inni garuu achi hin turre; ani cimsee isa nan barbaade; inni garuu hin argamne.
And I passed by, and behold, he was not. And I sought him, and his place was not found.
37 Nama mudaa hin qabne yaadatti qabadhu; tolootas ilaali; sanyiin nama nagaa hin baduutii.
Keep to innocence, and gaze upon fairness: because there are allotments for the peaceful man.
38 Cubbamoonni hundinuu garuu ni barbadeeffamu; galgalli nama hamaas hin tolu.
But the unjust will be destroyed together: the allotments of the impious will pass away.
39 Fayyinni qajeeltotaa Waaqayyo biraa dhufa; inni yeroo rakkinaatti daʼoo isaanii ti.
But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, and he is their protector in time of tribulation.
40 Waaqayyo isaan gargaara; isaan oolchas; harka namoota hamoo jalaa isaan baasa; isaan baraaras; isaan isatti kooluu galaniiruutii.
And the Lord will help them and free them. And he will rescue them from sinners and save them, because they have hoped in him.
