Faarfannaa 5

1 Faarfannaa Daawitii kan ululleedhaan faarfatamu. Yaa Waaqayyo, gurra kee dubbii kootti qabi; aaduu koo illee naa hubadhu.

For the music director. A psalm of David, to be accompanied by flutes. Lord, please listen to me. Don't ignore my groans of distress.

2 Yaa mootii koo fi Waaqa ko, iyya ani gargaarsaaf iyyadhu dhaggeeffadhu; ani sin kadhadhaatii.

Hear me pleading for help, my King and my God, because I'm praying to you.

3 Yaa Waaqayyo, ganamaan sagalee koo ni dhageessa; anis ganamaan kadhata koo fuula kee duratti nan dhiʼeessa; abdiidhaanis nan eeggadha.

Please listen to what I have to say in the morning, Lord. Every morning I put my requests to you and wait for your reply.

4 Ati Waaqa hamminatti gammadu miti; hamaanis si wajjin hin jiraatu.

For you are not a God who has any pleasure in wickedness; evil has no place with you.

5 Of tuultonni fuula kee dura dhaabachuu hin dandaʼan. Atis warra jalʼina hojjetan hunda ni jibbita;

The proud cannot come into your presence; you hate everyone who does evil.

6 Ati warra soba dubbatan ni balleessita. Waaqayyo warra dhiiga dheebotanii fi warra nama gowwoomsan ni xireeffata.

You destroy those who tell lies. The Lord loathes bloodthirsty and deceptive people.

7 Ani garuu araara kee baayʼee sanaan mana keetti ol nan gala; si sodaachuudhaanis gad jedhee gara mana qulqullummaa kee qulqulluu sanaatti garagalee nan sagada.

But because of the greatness of your trustworthy love, I can come into your house; in awe of you I bow down towards your holy Temple.

8 Yaa Waaqayyo, sababii diinota kootiif jedhiitii qajeelummaa keetiin na dura buʼi; karaa kees fuula koo duratti naa qajeelchi.

Lead me, Lord, you who always does what is right, save me from my enemies. Make your way clear to me.

9 Dubbiin afaan isaaniitii baʼu tokko iyyuu hin amanamu; garaan isaanii badiisaan guutameera. Laagaan isaanii awwaala banamaa dha; arraba isaaniitiin ni sobu.

Nothing they say can be trusted; their main desire is to destroy. Their throat is like an open grave; their tongues are full of flattery.

10 Yaa Waaqayyo, yakkitoota taʼuu isaanii isaanitti beeksisi! Daba isaaniitiinis haa kufan. Baayʼina cubbuu isaaniitiin isaan balleessi; isaan sitti fincilaniiruutii.

God, condemn them as guilty! Make them fall because of their evil plans. Throw them out because of all their sins, for they have rebelled against you.

11 Warri kooluu sitti galan hundinuu garuu haa gammadan; bara baraanis gammachuudhaan haa faarfatan. Akka warri maqaa kee jaallatan sitti gammadaniif ati eegumsa kee isaan irra diriirsi.

But may all those who trust in you be happy—may they sing for joy forever. May you spread your protection over them so that everyone who loves your character may celebrate.

12 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati qajeeltota ni eebbiftaatii; akka gaachanaattis surraa keetiin isaan marsita.

For you, Lord, bless those who live right; you protect them with your shield of love.
