Faarfannaa 41

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Namni hiyyeessaaf yaadu eebbifamaa dha; guyyaa rakkinaatti Waaqayyo isa ni oolcha.

To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in the time of trouble.

2 Waaqayyo isa ni eega; bara jireenya isaas ni dheeressa; lafa irratti isa eebbisa; hawwii diinota isaattis dabarsee isa hin kennu.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

3 Waaqayyo siree inni dhukkubsatee irra ciisu irratti isa kunuunsa; fayyisees siree dhukkubaa irraa isa ni kaasa.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.

4 Anis, “Yaa Waaqayyo na maari; ani cubbuu sitti hojjedheeraatii na fayyisi” nan jedhe.

I said, LORD, be merciful to me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.

5 Diinonni koo hamminaan, “Inni yoom duʼee maqaan isaa lafa irraa bada?” jedhanii waaʼee koo dubbatu.

My enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 Namni tokko yeroo na gaafachuu dhufutti, utuma garaa isaatti hammina kuufatee qabuu, sobee dubbata; gad baʼees iddoo hundumatti odeessa.

And if he cometh to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].

7 Warri na jibban hundinuu waaʼee koo walitti hasaasu; waan akka malee hamaa taʼes natti mariʼatu.

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

8 Isaanis, “Dhukkubni hamaan isa qabateera; inni siʼachi iddoo ciisu sanaa hin kaʼu” jedhu.

An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast to him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise no more.

9 Michuun koo inni natti dhiʼaatu, inni ani amanadhe, inni buddeena koo nyaate koomee isaa natti ol fudhate.

Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.

10 Ati garuu yaa Waaqayyo na baasi; akka ani haaloo baafadhuufis ol na kaasi.

But thou, O LORD, be merciful to me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11 Akka ati natti gammaddu ani beeka; diinni koo narra hin aanuutii.

By this I know that thou favorest me, because my enemy doth not triumph over me.

12 Ati sababii amanamummaa kootiitiif utubdee na qabda; baruma baraanis fuula kee dura na dhaabda.

And as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.

13 Waaqayyo Waaqni Israaʼel, bara baraa hamma bara baraatti haa eebbifamu.

Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and amen.
