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.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme to give instruction, committed to the sonnes of Korah. We haue heard with our eares, O God: our fathers haue tolde vs the workes, that thou hast done in their dayes, in the olde time:
2 Ati harka keetiin saboota ariitee baafte; abbootii keenya immoo ni dhaabde; namoota ni balleessite; abbootii keenya garuu bilisa baafte.
Howe thou hast driuen out the heathen with thine hand, and planted them: how thou hast destroyed the people, and caused them to grow.
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 they inherited not the lande by their owne sworde, neither did their owne arme saue them: but thy right hand, and thine arme and the light of thy countenance, because thou didest fauour them.
4 Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
Thou art my King, O God: send helpe vnto Iaakob.
5 Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
Through thee haue we thrust backe our aduersaries: by thy Name haue we troden downe them that rose vp against vs.
6 Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
For I do not trust in my bowe, neither can my sworde saue me.
7 ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
But thou hast saued vs from our aduersaries, and hast put them to confusion that hate vs.
8 Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
Therefore will wee praise God continually, and will confesse thy Name for euer. (Selah)
9 Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
But now thou art farre off, and puttest vs to confusion, and goest not forth with our armies.
10 Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
Thou makest vs to turne backe from the aduersary, and they, which hate vs, spoile for theselues.
11 Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
Thou giuest vs as sheepe to bee eaten, and doest scatter vs among the nations.
12 Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
Thou sellest thy people without gaine, and doest not increase their price.
13 Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
Thou makest vs a reproche to our neighbours, a iest and a laughing stocke to them that are round about vs.
14 Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
Thou makest vs a prouerbe among the nations, and a nodding of the head among the people.
15 Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
My confusion is dayly before me, and the shame of my face hath couered me,
16 Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
For the voyce of the slaunderer and rebuker, for the enemie and auenger.
17 Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
All this is come vpon vs, yet doe wee not forget thee, neither deale wee falsly concerning thy couenant.
18 Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
Our heart is not turned backe: neither our steps gone out of thy paths,
19 Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
Albeit thou hast smitten vs downe into the place of dragons, and couered vs with the shadow of death.
20 Utuu nu maqaa Waaqa keenyaa irraanfannee, yookaan utuu harka keenya gara waaqa ormaatti balʼifannee jiraannee,
If wee haue forgotten the Name of our God, and holden vp our hands to a strange god,
21 silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
Shall not God searche this out? for hee knoweth the secrets of the heart.
22 Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
Surely for thy sake are we slaine continually, and are counted as sheepe for the slaughter.
23 Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
Vp, why sleepest thou, O Lord? awake, be not farre off for euer.
24 Ati maaliif fuula kee dhokfatta? Maaliifis dhiphinaa fi hacuucamuu keenya irraanfatta?
Wherefore hidest thou thy face? and forgettest our miserie and our affliction?
25 Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
For our soule is beaten downe vnto the dust: our belly cleaueth vnto the ground.
26 Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
Rise vp for our succour, and redeeme vs for thy mercies sake.
