Faarfannaa 4
1 Dura buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan Baganaadhaan Faarfatamu. Yaa Waaqa qajeelumma kootii, yommuu ani si waammadhutti deebii naa kenni. Ati yeroo rakkina kootti na boqochiisi; araara kee naa buusi; kadhaa koos dhagaʼi.
“For the leader of the music; to be accompanied with stringed instruments. A psalm of David.” Hear me, when I call, O God of my righteousness! Thou hast helped me, when I was in trouble, —Have pity upon me, and hear my prayer!
2 Yaa ilmaan namootaa, isin hamma yoomiitti ulfina koo gara salphinaatti deebiftu? Isin hamma yoomiitti waan faayidaa hin qabne jaallattanii soba barbaaddu?
How long, O men! will ye dishonor my dignity? How long will ye love vanity, and seek disappointment? (Pause)
3 Isin akka Waaqayyo warra isaaf bulan ofii isaatiif addaan baafate beekaa; Waaqayyo yommuu ani isa waammadhutti na dhagaʼa.
Know ye that the LORD hath exalted one that is devoted to him; The LORD will hear, when I call upon him.
4 Yeroo aartanitti cubbuu hin hojjetinaa; yommuu siree keessan irra jirtanitti, garaa keessan keessatti yaadaa; calʼisaas.
Stand in awe, and sin no more; Commune with your hearts upon your beds, and desist! (Pause)
5 Aarsaa qajeelummaa dhiʼeessaa; Waaqayyonis amanadhaa.
Offer sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in the LORD!
6 Namoonni, “Eenyutu waan gaarii nu argi argisiisa?” jedhan baayʼee dha; yaa Waaqayyo, ifni fuula keetii nurratti haa ifu.
There are many who say, Who will show us any good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us!
7 Gammachuu isaan yeroo midhaanii fi daadhiin wayinii isaanii baayʼatutti argatan caalaa, ati garaa koo gammachuu guddaadhaan guutteerta.
Thou puttest gladness into my heart, Greater than theirs, when their corn and wine are abundant.
8 Ani nagaadhaan nan ciisa; nan rafas; yaa Waaqayyo si qofatu, sodaa malee na jiraachisaatii.
I will lay me down in peace, and sleep: For thou alone, O LORD! makest me dwell in safety.
