Faarfannaa 38
1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaadannoodhaaf. Yaa Waaqayyo, aarii keetiin na hin ifatin yookaan dheekkamsa keetiin na hin adabin.
A Psalm of David, to bring to remembrance. O LORD, rebuke me not in thy wrath: neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.
2 Xiyyooliin kee na waraananiiru; harki kees akka malee natti ulfaateera.
For thine arrows stick fast in me, and thy hand presseth me sore.
3 Sababii dheekkamsa keetiitiif dhagni koo fayyaa dhabeera; sababii cubbuu kootiifis lafeen koo nagaa dhabeera.
[There is] no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither [is there any] rest in my bones because of my sin.
4 Cubbuun koo na liqimseeraatii; akkuma baʼaa baatamuu hin dandaʼamne tokkoottis natti ulfaateera.
For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
5 Sababii gowwummaa kootiitiif, madaan koo malaa naqate; ni ajaaʼes.
My wounds stink [and] are corrupt because of my foolishness.
6 Ani gad nan qabame; gadis nan cabe; guyyaa guutuus gaddaan oola.
I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
7 Dugdi koo na bobaʼa; dhagni koos fayyaa hin qabu.
For my loins are filled with a loathsome [disease: ] and [there is] no soundness in my flesh.
8 Ani laafeera; akka malees bututeera; garaan koo dhiphatee ani aadaan jira.
I am feeble and sore broken: I have roared by reason of the disquietness of my heart.
9 Yaa Gooftaa, hawwiin koo hundinuu fuula kee duratti beekamaa dha; argansuun koo si duraa hin dhokatu.
Lord, all my desire [is] before thee; and my groaning is not hid from thee.
10 Lapheen koo ni dhaʼatti; jilbis na laafeera; ifni ija kootiis badeera.
My heart panteth, my strength faileth me: as for the light of mine eyes, it also is gone from me.
11 Michoonni koo fi miiltoon koo sababii madaa kootiitiif narraa hiiqan; firoonni koos narraa fagaatanii dhadhaabatu.
My lovers and my friends stand aloof from my sore; and my kinsmen stand afar off.
12 Warri lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadan kiyyoo naa kaaʼaniiru; warri na miidhuu barbaadanis waaʼee badiisa kootii dubbatu; guyyaa guutuus hammina natti yaadu.
They also that seek after my life lay snares [for me: ] and they that seek my hurt speak mischievous things, and imagine deceits all the day long.
13 Ani garuu akkuma duudaa dhagaʼuu hin dandeenyee, akkuma arrab-didaa dubbachuu hin dandeenyeetii.
But I, as a deaf [man], heard not; and [I was] as a dumb man [that] openeth not his mouth.
14 Ani akka nama dhagaʼuu hin dandeenyee, akkuma nama afaan isaa deebii kennuu hin dandeenyees taʼeera.
Thus I was as a man that heareth not, and in whose mouth [are] no reproofs.
15 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani sin eeggadha; yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa ko, ati deebii naa kennita.
For in thee, O LORD, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
16 Ani, “Akka diinonni koo natti gammadan yookaan akka isaan yeroo miilli koo mucucaatutti natti of jajan hin eeyyamin” jedheeraatii.
For I said, [Hear me], lest [otherwise] they should rejoice over me: when my foot slippeth, they magnify [themselves] against me.
17 Ani kufuu gaʼeeraatii; dhukkubbiin koos takkumaa na hin dhiifne.
For I [am] ready to halt, and my sorrow [is] continually before me.
18 Ani balleessaa koo nan himadha; sababii cubbuu kootiitiifis nan gadda.
For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.
19 Warri akkasumaan diinota koo taʼan jajjaboo dha; warri sababii malee na jibbanis hedduu dha.
But mine enemies [are] lively, [and] they are strong: and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
20 Warri qooda waan gaarii waan hamaa naa deebisan diinota koo ti; ani waan gaarii duukaa nan buʼaatii.
They also that render evil for good are mine adversaries; because I follow [the thing that] good [is].
21 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati na hin gatin; yaa Waaqa ko, narraa hin fagaatin.
Forsake me not, O LORD: O my God, be not far from me.
22 Yaa Gooftaa, yaa fayyisaa ko, na gargaaruudhaaf ariifadhu!
Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.
