Faarfannaa 40

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Ani obsaan Waaqayyoon nan eeggadhe; innis gara kootti garagalee iyya koo naa dhagaʼe.

I WAITED patiently for the Lord; and he inclined unto me, and heard my cry.

2 Inni boolla sodaachisaa keessaa, dhoqqee nama liqimsu keessaas na baase; miilla koo kattaa irra dhaabe; ejjeta koos naa jabeesse.

He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings.

3 Innis faarfannaa haaraa, faarfannaa galataas afaan koo keessa Waaqa keenyaaf kaaʼe. Namoonni baayʼeen arganii Waaqayyo sodaatu; isas ni amanatu.

And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord.

4 Namni Waaqayyoon abdatu, kan gara of tuultotaa hin ilaalle, namni warra karaa irraa jalʼatanii waaqota sobaa duukaa buʼinitti hin gara galle eebbifamaa dha.

Blessed is that man that maketh the Lord his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.

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.

Many, O Lord my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered.

6 Ati aarsaa fi kennaa hin feene; gurra koo garuu naa banteerta; aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa cubbuu ati hin barbaanne.

Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; mine ears hast thou opened: burnt offering and sin offering hast thou not required.

7 Yeroo sana ani akkana nan jedhe; “Ani kunoo ti; ani dhufeera; waaʼeen koo kitaaba maramaa keessatti barreeffameera.

Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book it is written of me,

8 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani fedhii kee raawwachuutti nan gammada; seerri kee garaa koo keessa jira.”

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart.

9 Ani yaaʼii guddaa keessatti qajeelummaa nan labsa; Yaa Waaqayyo, akkuma ati beektu, ani afaan koo hin qabadhu.

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

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 hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.

11 Yaa Waaqayyo araara kee na hin dhowwatin; jaalalli keetii fi dhugaan kee yeroo hunda ana haa eegan.

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

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 innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me.

13 Yaa Waaqayyo, na fayyisuutti gammadi; yaa Waaqayyo, na gargaaruudhaaf dafii kottu.

Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me.

14 Warri lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadan hundinuu, haa qaanaʼan; haa burjaajaʼanis. Warri badii koo hawwan hundi, qaanaʼanii duubatti haa deebiʼan.

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.

15 Warri, “Baga! Baga!” anaan jedhan, qaanii isaaniitiin haa rifatan.

Let them be desolate for a reward of their shame that say unto me, Aha, aha.

16 Warri si barbaadan hundinuu garuu sitti gammadanii haa ililchan. Warri fayyisuu kee jaallatan yeroo hunda, “Waaqayyo guddaa dha!” haa jedhan.

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

17 Ani garuu hiyyeessaa fi rakkataa dha; taʼus Gooftaan naaf yaada. Ati gargaarsa koo fi fayyisaa koo ti; yaa Waaqa ko, hin turin.

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
