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 an ungodly nation: from the deceitful and unjust man do thou deliver me.

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

For thou art the God of my fortress: why hast thou abandoned me? why must I walk about grieved, under 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.

Send thou thy light and thy truth, these shall guide me; they shall bring me unto thy holy mountain, and to thy dwellings:

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

That I may go unto the altar of God, unto God the joy of my gladness; and that I may thank 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 art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet thank him, the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
