Faarfannaa 44
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Maskiilii Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa Waaqi, waan ati bara durii, jabana isaanii keessa hojjette sana, abbootiin keenya nutti himaniiru; nuus gurra keenyaan dhageenyeerra.
For the choirmaster. A Maskil of the sons of Korah. We have heard with our ears, O God; our fathers have told us the work You did in their days, in the days of old.
2 Ati harka keetiin saboota ariitee baafte; abbootii keenya immoo ni dhaabde; namoota ni balleessite; abbootii keenya garuu bilisa baafte.
With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted our fathers there; You crushed the peoples and cast them out.
3 Harka kee mirgaatiin, irree keetii fi ifa fuula keetiitiin dhaalan malee isaan goraadee isaaniitiin lafa sana hin dhaalle; yookaan irreen isaanii moʼannoo isaaniif hin fidne; ati isaan jaallatteertaatii.
For it was not by their sword that they took the land; their arm did not bring them victory. It was by Your right hand, Your arm, and the light of Your face, because You favored them.
4 Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
You are my King, O God, who ordains victories for Jacob.
5 Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
Through You we repel our foes; through Your name we trample our enemies.
6 Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
For I do not trust in my bow, nor does my sword save me.
7 ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
For You save us from our enemies; You put those who hate us to shame.
8 Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
In God we have boasted all day long, and Your name we will praise forever.
9 Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
But You have rejected and humbled us; You no longer go forth with our armies.
10 Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
You have made us retreat from the foe, and those who hate us have plundered us.
11 Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
You have given us up as sheep to be devoured; You have scattered us among the nations.
12 Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
You sell Your people for nothing; no profit do You gain from their sale.
13 Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
You have made us a reproach to our neighbors, a mockery and derision to those around us.
14 Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
You have made us a byword among the nations, a laughingstock among the peoples.
15 Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
All day long my disgrace is before me, and shame has covered my face,
16 Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
at the voice of the scorner and reviler, because of the enemy, bent on revenge.
17 Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
All this has come upon us, though we have not forgotten You or betrayed Your covenant.
18 Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
Our hearts have not turned back; our steps have not strayed from Your path.
19 Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
But You have crushed us in the lair of jackals; You have covered us with deepest darkness.
20 Utuu nu maqaa Waaqa keenyaa irraanfannee, yookaan utuu harka keenya gara waaqa ormaatti balʼifannee jiraannee,
If we had forgotten the name of our God or spread out our hands to a foreign god,
21 silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
would not God have discovered, since He knows the secrets of the heart?
22 Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
Yet for Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
Wake up, O Lord! Why are You sleeping? Arise! Do not reject us forever.
24 Ati maaliif fuula kee dhokfatta? Maaliifis dhiphinaa fi hacuucamuu keenya irraanfatta?
Why do You hide Your face and forget our affliction and oppression?
25 Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
For our soul has sunk to the dust; our bodies cling to the earth.
26 Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
Rise up; be our help! Redeem us on account of Your loving devotion.
