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.
To the Chief Musician: with stringed instruments. A Melody of David. When I cry, answer me, O mine own righteous God, In a strait place, thou hast made room for me, Show me favour, 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?
Ye sons of the great! how long, turning my glory to contempt, will ye love emptiness, will ye seek falsehood? (Selah)
3 Isin akka Waaqayyo warra isaaf bulan ofii isaatiif addaan baafate beekaa; Waaqayyo yommuu ani isa waammadhutti na dhagaʼa.
Know ye, then, that Yahweh hath set apart the man of lovingkindness for himself: Yahweh, will hear, when I cry to him.
4 Yeroo aartanitti cubbuu hin hojjetinaa; yommuu siree keessan irra jirtanitti, garaa keessan keessatti yaadaa; calʼisaas.
Be deeply moved, but do not sin, —Ponder in your own heart upon your bed, and be silent. (Selah)
5 Aarsaa qajeelummaa dhiʼeessaa; Waaqayyonis amanadhaa.
Sacrifice the sacrifices of righteousness; and put your trust in Yahweh.
6 Namoonni, “Eenyutu waan gaarii nu argi argisiisa?” jedhan baayʼee dha; yaa Waaqayyo, ifni fuula keetii nurratti haa ifu.
Multitudes, are saying, Who will show us prosperity? Lift thou upon us the light of thy countenance, O Yahweh.
7 Gammachuu isaan yeroo midhaanii fi daadhiin wayinii isaanii baayʼatutti argatan caalaa, ati garaa koo gammachuu guddaadhaan guutteerta.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart, —beyond the season when, their corn and their new wine, have increased.
8 Ani nagaadhaan nan ciisa; nan rafas; yaa Waaqayyo si qofatu, sodaa malee na jiraachisaatii.
In peace, will I lay me down and at once sleep; for, thou, Yahweh alone, wilt cause me, in security, to dwell.
