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 nation not pious, From a man of deceit and perverseness Thou dost deliver me,

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

For thou [art] the God of my strength. Why hast Thou cast me off? Why mourning do I go up and down, In the oppression of an 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 forth Thy light and Thy truth, They — they lead me, they bring me in, Unto Thy holy hill, and unto 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.

And I go in unto the altar of God, Unto God, the joy of my rejoicing. And I thank Thee with a 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.

What! bowest thou thyself, O my soul? And what! art thou troubled within me? Wait for God, for still I confess Him, The salvation of my countenance, and my God!
