Faarfannaa 40
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Ani obsaan Waaqayyoon nan eeggadhe; innis gara kootti garagalee iyya koo naa dhagaʼe.
To the Overseer. — A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected Jehovah, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,
2 Inni boolla sodaachisaa keessaa, dhoqqee nama liqimsu keessaas na baase; miilla koo kattaa irra dhaabe; ejjeta koos naa jabeesse.
And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation — from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.
3 Innis faarfannaa haaraa, faarfannaa galataas afaan koo keessa Waaqa keenyaaf kaaʼe. Namoonni baayʼeen arganii Waaqayyo sodaatu; isas ni amanatu.
And He putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in Jehovah.
4 Namni Waaqayyoon abdatu, kan gara of tuultotaa hin ilaalle, namni warra karaa irraa jalʼatanii waaqota sobaa duukaa buʼinitti hin gara galle eebbifamaa dha.
O the happiness of the man Who hath made Jehovah his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning 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.
Much hast Thou done, Jehovah my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
6 Ati aarsaa fi kennaa hin feene; gurra koo garuu naa banteerta; aarsaa gubamuu fi aarsaa cubbuu ati hin barbaanne.
Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.
7 Yeroo sana ani akkana nan jedhe; “Ani kunoo ti; ani dhufeera; waaʼeen koo kitaaba maramaa keessatti barreeffameera.
Then said I, 'Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,
8 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani fedhii kee raawwachuutti nan gammada; seerri kee garaa koo keessa jira.”
To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And 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 proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O Jehovah, Thou hast known.
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.
Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.
11 Yaa Waaqayyo araara kee na hin dhowwatin; jaalalli keetii fi dhugaan kee yeroo hunda ana haa eegan.
Thou, O Jehovah, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep 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 compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.
13 Yaa Waaqayyo, na fayyisuutti gammadi; yaa Waaqayyo, na gargaaruudhaaf dafii kottu.
Be pleased, O Jehovah, to deliver me, O Jehovah, for my help make haste.
14 Warri lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadan hundinuu, haa qaanaʼan; haa burjaajaʼanis. Warri badii koo hawwan hundi, qaanaʼanii duubatti haa deebiʼan.
They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.
15 Warri, “Baga! Baga!” anaan jedhan, qaanii isaaniitiin haa rifatan.
They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'
16 Warri si barbaadan hundinuu garuu sitti gammadanii haa ililchan. Warri fayyisuu kee jaallatan yeroo hunda, “Waaqayyo guddaa dha!” haa jedhan.
All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'Jehovah is magnified.'
17 Ani garuu hiyyeessaa fi rakkataa dha; taʼus Gooftaan naaf yaada. Ati gargaarsa koo fi fayyisaa koo ti; yaa Waaqa ko, hin turin.
And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.
