Faarfannaa 41
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Namni hiyyeessaaf yaadu eebbifamaa dha; guyyaa rakkinaatti Waaqayyo isa ni oolcha.
For the leader; for Jeduthun. A psalm of David. Happy are those who consider the weak; in the day of misfortune the Lord will deliver them.
2 Waaqayyo isa ni eega; bara jireenya isaas ni dheeressa; lafa irratti isa eebbisa; hawwii diinota isaattis dabarsee isa hin kennu.
He will keep them safe, happy, and long in the land, and not give them up to the rage of their foes.
3 Waaqayyo siree inni dhukkubsatee irra ciisu irratti isa kunuunsa; fayyisees siree dhukkubaa irraa isa ni kaasa.
The Lord will sustain them on bed of languishing; tending their sickness, as long as they lie.
4 Anis, “Yaa Waaqayyo na maari; ani cubbuu sitti hojjedheeraatii na fayyisi” nan jedhe.
For this cause I say, “Lord, show me your favor; heal me, because I have sinned against you.”
5 Diinonni koo hamminaan, “Inni yoom duʼee maqaan isaa lafa irraa bada?” jedhanii waaʼee koo dubbatu.
My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, “When will he die, and his name pass away?”
6 Namni tokko yeroo na gaafachuu dhufutti, utuma garaa isaatti hammina kuufatee qabuu, sobee dubbata; gad baʼees iddoo hundumatti odeessa.
When one comes to see me, their words ring hollow; their heart keeps gathering mischief the while; and when they go out, they give it speech.
7 Warri na jibban hundinuu waaʼee koo walitti hasaasu; waan akka malee hamaa taʼes natti mariʼatu.
In secret they whisper together against me, all those who hate me plot evil against me.
8 Isaanis, “Dhukkubni hamaan isa qabateera; inni siʼachi iddoo ciisu sanaa hin kaʼu” jedhu.
“Some fatal disease has fastened upon him; and now that he lies, he will rise up no more.”
9 Michuun koo inni natti dhiʼaatu, inni ani amanadhe, inni buddeena koo nyaate koomee isaa natti ol fudhate.
My most trusted friend, on whom I relied, who ate of my bread, has turned against me.
10 Ati garuu yaa Waaqayyo na baasi; akka ani haaloo baafadhuufis ol na kaasi.
But do you, Lord, graciously raise me up, that I may pay them their due reward.
11 Akka ati natti gammaddu ani beeka; diinni koo narra hin aanuutii.
By this will I know you delight in me: if my foes may not shout over me in triumph.
12 Ati sababii amanamummaa kootiitiif utubdee na qabda; baruma baraanis fuula kee dura na dhaabda.
For my innocence you uphold me, and set me forever before your face.
13 Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti haa eebbifamu.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, Amen and Amen.
