Faarfannaa 40
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Ani obsaan Waaqayyoon nan eeggadhe; innis gara kootti garagalee iyya koo naa dhagaʼe.
For the music director. A psalm of David. I waited for the Lord patiently, and he turned to me—he heard my cry for help.
2 Inni boolla sodaachisaa keessaa, dhoqqee nama liqimsu keessaas na baase; miilla koo kattaa irra dhaabe; ejjeta koos naa jabeesse.
He pulled me out of the pit of destruction, out from the mud and the slime. He set me on a rock, and gave me a safe place to stand.
3 Innis faarfannaa haaraa, faarfannaa galataas afaan koo keessa Waaqa keenyaaf kaaʼe. Namoonni baayʼeen arganii Waaqayyo sodaatu; isas ni amanatu.
He gave me a new song to sing, a song of praise to our God. Many people will see and be in awe, and they will put their trust in him.
4 Namni Waaqayyoon abdatu, kan gara of tuultotaa hin ilaalle, namni warra karaa irraa jalʼatanii waaqota sobaa duukaa buʼinitti hin gara galle eebbifamaa dha.
Happy are those who trust in the Lord, who do not look for help from the arrogant or from those who worship idols.
5 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, dinqiin ati hojjette baayʼee dha; waan ati nuuf yaadde, namni tokko tokkoon sitti himuu dandaʼu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; yoo ani waaʼee isaanii labsee dubbadhe illee, baayʼinni isaanii hamma hin qabu.
Lord my God, you have done so many wonderful things for us, and you have so many plans for us. No one compares to you. I want to tell all that you've done—blessings too many to count.
6 Ati aarsaa fi kennaa hin feene; gurra koo garuu naa banteerta; aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa cubbuu ati hin barbaanne.
You don't want sacrifices and offerings. Now you have helped me understand—you're not asking for burnt offerings or sin offerings.
7 Yeroo sana ani akkana nan jedhe; “Ani kunoo ti; ani dhufeera; waaʼeen koo kitaaba maramaa keessatti barreeffameera.
Then I said, “Look! Here I am! I've come to do what is written about me in the scroll of the Book.
8 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani fedhii kee raawwachuutti nan gammada; seerri kee garaa koo keessa jira.”
I am pleased to do your will, my God—your Law guides my mind.”
9 Ani yaaʼii guddaa keessatti qajeelummaa nan labsa; Yaa Waaqayyo, akkuma ati beektu, ani afaan koo hin qabadhu.
I have announced the good news of salvation to the whole congregation. I don't keep quiet, Lord, as you know.
10 Ani qajeelummaa kee garaa koo keessa hin dhoksu; waaʼee amanamummaa keetiitii fi waaʼee fayyisuu keetii nan odeessa; jaalala keetii fi dhugaa kees yaaʼii guddaa duraa hin dhoksu.
I have not kept the truth of your goodness hidden inside me—I have spoken of your trustworthiness and your salvation. I have not concealed your unfailing love and your faithfulness from the whole congregation.
11 Yaa Waaqayyo araara kee na hin dhowwatin; jaalalli keetii fi dhugaan kee yeroo hunda ana haa eegan.
Lord, please don't keep back your mercy from me. May your trustworthy love and faithfulness always be my protection.
12 Rakkinni hamma hin qabne na marseeraatii; cubbuun koos na liqimseera; arguus dadhabeera; cubbuun koo rifeensa mataa koo caalaa baayʼata; onneen koos na keessatti laafteerti.
For I'm experiencing so many problems—I can't even count them! My sins have piled up so high I can't see over them. They're more than the number of hairs on my head! I feel like giving up!
13 Yaa Waaqayyo, na fayyisuutti gammadi; yaa Waaqayyo, na gargaaruudhaaf dafii kottu.
Lord, please save me! Hurry, Lord, help me!
14 Warri lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadan hundinuu, haa qaanaʼan; haa burjaajaʼanis. Warri badii koo hawwan hundi, qaanaʼanii duubatti haa deebiʼan.
Please defeat and humiliate the people who are trying to kill me; turn back in disgrace those who want to hurt me.
15 Warri, “Baga! Baga!” anaan jedhan, qaanii isaaniitiin haa rifatan.
May they be shocked at their defeat, those who taunted me.
16 Warri si barbaadan hundinuu garuu sitti gammadanii haa ililchan. Warri fayyisuu kee jaallatan yeroo hunda, “Waaqayyo guddaa dha!” haa jedhan.
But may everyone who comes to you be happy and glad; may those who love your salvation always say, “The Lord is great!”
17 Ani garuu hiyyeessaa fi rakkataa dha; taʼus Gooftaan naaf yaada. Ati gargaarsa koo fi fayyisaa koo ti; yaa Waaqa ko, hin turin.
As for me, I am poor and needy. May the Lord think about me. Help me! Save me! My God, please don't wait!
