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 Chief Musician. By the sons of Korah. A contemplative psalm.] We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us, what 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.
You drove out the nations with your hand, but you planted them. You afflicted the peoples, but you spread them abroad.
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 get the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them; but your right hand, and your arm, and the light of your face, because you were favorable to them.
4 Ati Mootii koo fi Waaqa koo kan Yaaqoobiif moʼicha ajajjuu dha.
You are my King, my God, who commands victories for Jacob.
5 Nu siin diinota keenya duubatti deebifna; maqaa keetiinis amajaajota keenya gad dhidhiinna.
Through you we will push back our adversaries. Through your name we will trample down those who rise up against us.
6 Ani iddaa koo hin amanadhu; goraadeen koos moʼannaa naa hin fidu;
For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 ati garuu diinota keenya jalaa nu oolchita; warra nu jibban immoo ni qaanessita.
But you have saved us from our adversaries, and have shamed those who hate us.
8 Nu yeroo hundumaa Waaqaan dhaadanna; maqaa kees bara baraan ni galateeffanna.
In God we have made our boast all day long, we will give thanks to your name forever. (Selah)
9 Amma garuu ati nu gatteerta; gadis nu deebifteerta; ati loltoota keenya wajjin hin baane.
But now you rejected us, and brought us to dishonor, and do not go out with our armies.
10 Akka nu diinota keenya baqannu nu gooteerta; warri nu jibbanis nu saamaniiru.
You make us turn back from the adversary. Those who hate us take spoil for themselves.
11 Ati akka hoolota qalamuuf qopheeffamanii nu gooteerta; ormoota keessas nu bittinneessiteerta.
You have made us like sheep for food, and have scattered us among the nations.
12 Saba kee gatii xinnaatti gurgurteerta; gurgurtaa isaanii irraas buʼaa hin arganne.
You sell your people for nothing, and have gained nothing from their sale.
13 Ollaa keenya duratti nama kolfaa, warra naannoo keenyaa birattis waan qoosaatii fi nama tuffii nu gooteerta.
You make us the taunt of our neighbors, a scoffing and a derision to those who are around us.
14 Ormoota keessatti waan mammaaksaa nu goote; namoonnis mataa nutti raasan.
You make us a byword among the nations, a shaking of the head among the peoples.
15 Salphinni koo guyyaa guutuu fuula koo dura jira; fuulli koos qaaniidhaan haguugameera.
All day long my dishonor is before me, and shame covers my face,
16 Kunis sababii dubbii warra na tuffataniitii fi warra na arrabsaniitiif, sababii diinaatii fi sababii nama haaloo baafatuutiif taʼe.
At the taunt of one who reproaches and verbally abuses, because of the enemy and the avenger.
17 Kun hundi nutti dhufeera; taʼus nu si hin daganne; yookaan kakuu kee keessatti amanamummaa hin dhabne.
All this has come on us, yet have we not forgotten you, Neither have we been false to your covenant.
18 Garaan keenya dugda duubatti hin deebine; tarkaanfiin keenyas karaa kee irraa hin jalʼanne.
Our heart has not turned back, neither have our steps strayed from your path,
19 Ati garuu iddoo waangoonni jiraatanitti nu caccabsite; dukkana hamaadhaan nu haguugde.
Though you have crushed us in the haunt of jackals, and covered us with the shadow of death.
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, or spread forth our hands to a strange god;
21 silaa Waaqni waan kana bira hin gaʼu turee? Inni icciitii garaa namaa beekaatii.
won't God search this out? For he knows the secrets of the heart.
22 Nu siif jennee guyyaa guutuu ni ajjeefamna; akka hoolota qalamuuf jiraniittis lakkaaʼamneerra.
For your sake we are killed all day long. We are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.
23 Yaa Gooftaa dammaqi! Ati maaliif rafta? Kaʼi! Bara baraanis nu hin gatin.
Wake up. Why do you sleep, LORD? 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 our oppression?
25 Lubbuun keenya biyyootti dabalamteertii; garaan keenyas lafatti maxxaneera.
For our soul is bowed down to the dust. Our body cleaves to the earth.
26 Kaʼiitii nu gargaar; sababii jaalala kee kan hin geeddaramneetiifis nu furi.
Rise up to help us. Redeem us for your loving kindness' sake.
