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 THE OVERSEER. AN INSTRUCTION OF THE SONS OF KORAH. O God, we have heard with our ears, Our fathers have recounted to us, The work You worked 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.
You, [with] Your hand, have dispossessed nations. And You plant them. You afflict peoples, and send them away.
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 did not possess the land by their sword, And their arm did not give salvation to them, But Your right hand, and Your arm, And the light of Your countenance, Because You had accepted them.
4 Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
You [are] He, my King, O God, Command the deliverances of Jacob.
5 Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
By You we push our adversaries, By Your Name we tread down our withstanders,
6 Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
For I do not trust in my bow, And my sword does not save me.
7 ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
For You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those hating us.
8 Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
In God we have boasted all the day, And we thank Your Name for all time. (Selah)
9 Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
In anger You have cast off and cause us to blush, And do not go forth with our hosts.
10 Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
You cause us to turn backward from an adversary, And those hating us, Have spoiled for themselves.
11 Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
You make us food like sheep, And You have scattered us among nations.
12 Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
You sell Your people—without wealth, And have not become great by their price.
13 Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
You make us a reproach to our neighbors, A scorn and a reproach to our surrounders.
14 Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
You make us an allegory among nations, A shaking of the head among peoples.
15 Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
All the day my confusion [is] before me, And the shame of my face has covered me.
16 Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
Because of the voice of a reproacher and reviler, Because of an enemy and a self-avenger.
17 Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
All this met us, and we did not forget You, Nor have we dealt falsely in Your covenant.
18 Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
We do not turn our heart backward, Nor turn aside our step from Your path.
19 Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
But You have struck us in a place of dragons, And cover us over with death-shade.
20 Utuu nu maqaa Waaqa keenyaa irraanfannee, yookaan utuu harka keenya gara waaqa ormaatti balʼifannee jiraannee,
If we have forgotten the Name of our God, And spread our hands to a strange God,
21 silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
Does God not search this out? For He knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
Surely, for Your sake we have been slain all the day, Reckoned as sheep of the slaughter.
23 Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
Stir up—why do You sleep, O Lord? Awake, do not cast us off forever.
24 Ati maaliif fuula kee dhokfatta? Maaliifis dhiphinaa fi hacuucamuu keenya irraanfatta?
Why do You hide Your face? You forget our afflictions and our oppression,
25 Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
For our soul has bowed to the dust, Our belly has cleaved to the earth.
26 Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
Arise, a help to us, And ransom us for your kindness’ sake.
