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 music director. A psalm (maskil) of the sons of Korah. God, we have heard with our own ears—our forefathers have told us—all you did in their times, long ago.
2 Ati harka keetiin saboota ariitee baafte; abbootii keenya immoo ni dhaabde; namoota ni balleessite; abbootii keenya garuu bilisa baafte.
Through your power you drove out the other nations so you could settle our ancestors there; you defeated the nations and you sent our ancestors to occupy the land.
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.
They did not conquer the land using their swords; it was not through their own strength that the victory was won—it was by your strength, your power, and your presence with them, because you loved them.
4 Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
God, you are my King; command victories for Jacob!
5 Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
Only through you can we repel our enemies; only in your name can we defeat our opponents.
6 Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
I do not trust my bow; I do not have confidence in my sword to save me.
7 ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
You are the one who saves us from our enemies; you defeat those who hate us.
8 Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
God, we proudly thank you all day long, and praise your name forever. (Selah)
9 Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
But now you have rejected and disgraced us; you no longer accompany our armies.
10 Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
You made us run from our enemies, and those who hate us have taken whatever they wanted.
11 Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
You have handed us over like sheep to be slaughtered; you have scattered us among the other nations.
12 Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
You have sold your own people for next to nothing, making no profit on the sale.
13 Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
You have made a mockery of us before our neighbors, we are ridiculed and laughed at by those around us.
14 Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
You have made us a joke to the other nations; they scornfully shake their heads at us.
15 Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
We are humiliated all day long; we hold our heads in shame,
16 Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
because of all the insults from the people mocking us, because our vengeful enemies are right in front of us.
17 Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
All this has happened to us even though we didn't forget you; we haven't been unfaithful to the promises we made to you.
18 Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
We have not turned away from you, not in thought, nor in action.
19 Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
Even so, you crushed us, and made us into a jackal's den. You have covered us with the darkness of death.
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 worshiped other gods,
21 silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
wouldn't God have been aware of this, because he knows everyone's thoughts?
22 Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
But because of you we are killed all day long; we're considered just sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
Lord, wake up! Why are you sleeping? Get up! Don't turn your back on us forever!
24 Ati maaliif fuula kee dhokfatta? Maaliifis dhiphinaa fi hacuucamuu keenya irraanfatta?
Why do you look away from us and take no notice of our suffering and misery?
25 Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
We lie ruined in the dust, our bodies face down in the dirt.
26 Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
Stand up! Come and help us! Save us because of your trustworthy love!
