Faarfannaa 52

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Maskiilii Daawit. Dooʼeeg namni biyya Edoomii yeroo gara Saaʼolii dhaqee, “Daawit gara mana Ahiimelekii dhufeera” jedhee itti himetti faarfatame. Yaa nama jabaa nana, ati maaliif hamminaan koorta? Ati namni fuula Waaqaa duratti tuffatamtu, maaliif guyyaa guutuu koorta?

To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of David. When Doeg the Edomite came to Saul saying, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you take pride in wrongdoing, lifting yourself up against the upright man all the day?

2 Ati namni nama gowwoomsitu, arrabni kee badiisa qopheessa; arrabni kee akkuma qarabaa qaramee ti.

Purposing destruction, using deceit; your tongue is like a sharp blade.

3 Ati waan gaarii irra waan hamaa jaallatta; dhugaa dubbachuu irra immoo soba dubbachuu jaallatta.

You have more love for evil than for good, for deceit than for works of righteousness. (Selah)

4 Yaa arraba gowwoomsituu nana, ati dubbii nama miidhu hunda jaallatta.

Destruction is in all your words, O false tongue.

5 Kanaafuu Waaqni bara baraan si balleessa: Inni dunkaana kee keessaa butee si ciccira; biyya jiraattotaa keessaas si buqqisa.

But God will put an end to you for ever; driving you out from your tent, uprooting you from the land of the living. (Selah)

6 Qajeeltonni waan kana arganii sodaatan; isaanis akkana jedhanii isatti kolfan;

The upright will see it with fear, and will say, laughing at you:

7 “Kunoo, namicha Waaqa daʼoo isaa hin godhatin, qooda kanaa immoo baayʼina qabeenya isaa amanatee jalʼina ofiitti ciche!”

See, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but had faith in his goods and his property, and made himself strong in his wealth.

8 Ani garuu akkuma ejersa mana Waaqaa keessatti lalisuu ti; baraa hamma bara baraattis, jaalala Waaqaa kan hin geeddaramne sana nan amanadha.

But I am like a branching olive-tree in the house of God; I have put my faith in his mercy for ever and ever.

9 Sababii ati waan kana gooteef ani bara baraan sin galateeffadha; sababii maqaan kee gaarii taʼeef ani maqaa kee nan abdadha. Fuula qulqulloota kee durattis sin leellisa.

I will give you praise without end for what you have done; I will give honour to your name before your saints, for it is good.
