Faarfannaa 43

1 Yaa Waaqi, naa murteessi; saba hin amanametti dubbii koo naa falmi; gowwoomsitootaa fi jalʼoota jalaas na baasi.

Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against a profane nation. O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.

2 Ati Waaqa jabina kootii ti. Maaliif na gatte? Ani maaliifin diinaan cunqurfamee gaddaan jiraadha?

For thou are the God of my strength. Why have thou cast me off? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

3 Ifa keetii fi dhugaa kee ergi; isaan na haa qajeelchan; gara tulluu kee qulqulluutti, gara iddoo ati jiraattu sanaatti ana haa fiddan.

O send out thy light and thy truth. Let them lead me. Let them bring me to thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

4 Yoos ani gara iddoo aarsaa Waaqaa, gara Waaqa gammachuu fi ilillee koo nan dhaqa. Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa ko, ani baganaadhaan sin galateeffadha.

Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise thee upon the harp, O God, my God.

5 Yaa lubbuu ko, ati maaliif gaddita? Na keessattis maaliif raafamta? Abdii kee Waaqa irra kaaʼadhu; ani amma iyyuu isa nan galateeffadha; Fayyisaa koo fi Waaqa koo nan jajadha.

Why are thou cast down, O my soul? And why are thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God, for I shall yet praise him, the help of my countenance, and my God.
