Faarfannaa 37
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Ati sababii namoota hamootiif jettee hin aarin yookaan warra jalʼina hojjetanitti hin hinaafin.
A psalm for David himself. Be not emulous of evildoers; nor envy them that work iniquity.
2 Isaan akkuma margaa dafanii coollagu; akkuma biqiltuu misee dafanii gogu.
For they shall shortly wither away as grass, and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
3 Waaqayyoon amanadhu; waan gaariis hojjedhu; biyyattii keessa jiraadhu; nagaas qabaadhu.
Trust in the Lord, and do good, and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
4 Waaqayyotti gammadi; innis hawwii garaa keetii siif guuta.
Delight in the Lord, and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
5 Karaa kee Waaqayyotti kennadhu; isa amanadhu; inni siif milkeessa.
Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, and he will do it.
6 Inni qajeelummaa kee akka aduu ganamaatti, murtii kee immoo akka aduu saafaatti ibsa.
And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.
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 Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; the man who doth unjust things.
8 Aarii irraa of eegi; dheekkamsa irraas deebiʼi; hin aarin; aariin hammina qofatti nama geessaatii.
Cease from anger, and leave rage; have no emulation to do evil.
9 Namoonni hamoon ni balleeffamuutii; warri Waaqayyoon abdatan garuu lafa dhaalu.
For the evildoers shall be cut off: but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
10 Namoonni hamoon yeroo xinnoodhaaf malee siʼachi hin jiraatan; yoo ati isaan barbaadde illee hin argaman.
For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
11 Garraamonni garuu lafa ni dhaalu; nagaa guddaadhaanis ni gammadu.
But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace.
12 Namoonni hamoon nama qajeelaatti mariʼatu; ilkaan isaaniis isatti qaratu;
The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
13 Gooftaan hamootatti ni kolfa; inni akka guyyaan isaanii dhiʼaate ni beekaatii.
But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
14 Namoonni hamoon hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota lafaan dhaʼuudhaaf, warra karaan isaanii qajeelaa taʼe immoo gorraʼuudhaaf, goraadee isaanii luqqifatu; iddaa isaaniis ni dabsatu.
The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill 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;
Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked.
17 humni hamootaa ni cabaatii; Waaqayyo garuu qajeeltota jabeessee ni dhaaba.
For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
18 Waaqayyo bara tolootaa ni beeka; dhaalli isaaniis bara baraan jiraata.
The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
19 Isaan bara hamaa keessa hin qaanaʼan; bara beelaa keessas ni quufu.
They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled:
20 Namoonni hamoon garuu ni barbadaaʼu; diinonni Waaqayyoos akkuma miidhagina daraaraa dirree ti; isaan ni badu; akkuma aaraa ni badu.
Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
21 Namoonni hamoon ni liqeeffatu; garuu deebisanii of irraa hin baasan; qajeeltonni garuu arjummaadhaan kennu;
The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
22 warri Waaqayyo eebbisu lafa ni dhaalu; warri inni abaaru garuu ni balleeffamu.
For such as bless him shall inherit the land: but such as curse him shall perish.
23 Adeemsi nama Waaqayyo biraa ajajama; inni karaa namicha sanaatti ni gammada.
With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, and he shall like well his way.
24 Inni yoo gufate illee lafa hin gaʼu; Waaqayyo harka isaatiin qabee isa dhaabaatii.
When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, for the Lord putteth 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 am old; and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
26 Qajeeltonni yeroo hundumaa ni arjoomu; ni liqeessus; ijoolleen isaaniis ni eebbifamu.
He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; and his seed shall be in blessing.
27 Waan hamaa irraa deebiʼiitii waan gaarii hojjedhu; yoos ati bara baraan ni jiraatta.
Decline from evil and do good, and dwell for ever 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 loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: they shall be preserved for ever. The unjust shall be punished, and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
29 Qajeeltonni lafa ni dhaalu; bara baraanis ishee irra ni jiraatu.
But the just shall inherit the land, and shall dwell therein for evermore.
30 Afaan nama qajeelaa ogummaa dubbata; arrabni isaas murtii qajeelaa labsa.
The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: and his tongue shall 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 wicked watcheth the just man, and seeketh 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 leave in his hands; nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
34 Waaqayyoon eeggadhu; karaa isaas eegi. Inni akka ati lafa dhaaltuuf ulfina siif kenna; atis badiisa hamootaa ni argita.
Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
35 Nama hamaa fi gara jabeessa, isaa akkuma muka iddoon isaa itti tolee jiru nan arge.
I have seen the wicked highly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
36 Ergasiis achiin nan darbe; inni garuu achi hin turre; ani cimsee isa nan barbaade; inni garuu hin argamne.
And I passed by, and lo, 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 innocence, and behold justice: for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
38 Cubbamoonni hundinuu garuu ni barbadeeffamu; galgalli nama hamaas hin tolu.
But the unjust shall be destroyed together: the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
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 the time of trouble.
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 deliver them: and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
