Faarfannaa 41
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Namni hiyyeessaaf yaadu eebbifamaa dha; guyyaa rakkinaatti Waaqayyo isa ni oolcha.
For the music director. A psalm of David. How happy are those who take care of the poor! When they are in trouble the Lord will save them.
2 Waaqayyo isa ni eega; bara jireenya isaas ni dheeressa; lafa irratti isa eebbisa; hawwii diinota isaattis dabarsee isa hin kennu.
The Lord protects them and keeps them alive. They will live happily in the land, and they will not be handed over to their enemies.
3 Waaqayyo siree inni dhukkubsatee irra ciisu irratti isa kunuunsa; fayyisees siree dhukkubaa irraa isa ni kaasa.
The Lord looks after them when they're sick; he makes them well from their illness.
4 Anis, “Yaa Waaqayyo na maari; ani cubbuu sitti hojjedheeraatii na fayyisi” nan jedhe.
“Lord, please be gracious to me,” I asked. “Please heal me, for I have sinned against you.”
5 Diinonni koo hamminaan, “Inni yoom duʼee maqaan isaa lafa irraa bada?” jedhanii waaʼee koo dubbatu.
Those who hate me only say evil things about me. “When is he going to die, and people forget all about him?” they ask.
6 Namni tokko yeroo na gaafachuu dhufutti, utuma garaa isaatti hammina kuufatee qabuu, sobee dubbata; gad baʼees iddoo hundumatti odeessa.
They come to visit me, but their sympathy is not sincere. They're only interested in the bad news, which they spread around as soon as they leave.
7 Warri na jibban hundinuu waaʼee koo walitti hasaasu; waan akka malee hamaa taʼes natti mariʼatu.
All who hate me talk in whispers about my condition, hoping for the worst.
8 Isaanis, “Dhukkubni hamaan isa qabateera; inni siʼachi iddoo ciisu sanaa hin kaʼu” jedhu.
“He's been cursed with some terrible disease,” they say. “Now he's bed-ridden he'll never recover!”
9 Michuun koo inni natti dhiʼaatu, inni ani amanadhe, inni buddeena koo nyaate koomee isaa natti ol fudhate.
Even my best friend, the one I trusted, who shared meals with me—even he has turned against me.
10 Ati garuu yaa Waaqayyo na baasi; akka ani haaloo baafadhuufis ol na kaasi.
But you Lord, please be gracious to me, make me well so I can repay them!
11 Akka ati natti gammaddu ani beeka; diinni koo narra hin aanuutii.
I know you are pleased with me because you have not let my enemies win and shout in triumph over me.
12 Ati sababii amanamummaa kootiitiif utubdee na qabda; baruma baraanis fuula kee dura na dhaabda.
You have supported me because of my integrity, you have brought me into your presence forever.
13 Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti haa eebbifamu.
Praise the Lord, the God of Israel, from eternity to eternity! Amen and amen!
