Faarfannaa 43

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

Be my judge, O God, supporting my cause against a nation without religion; O keep me from the false and evil man.

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

You are the God of my strength; why have you put me from you? why do I go in sorrow because of the attacks of my haters?

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 your light and your true word; let them be my guide: let them take me to your holy hill, and to your tents.

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 up to the altar of God, to the God of my joy; I will be glad and give praise to you on an instrument of music, 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 you crushed down, O my soul? and why are you troubled in me? put your hope in God, for I will again give him praise who is my help and my God.
