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?
Unto the end. The understanding of David. When Doeg the Edomite came and reported to Saul, David went to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you glory in malice, you who are powerful in iniquity?
2 Ati namni nama gowwoomsitu, arrabni kee badiisa qopheessa; arrabni kee akkuma qarabaa qaramee ti.
All day long your tongue thinks up injustice. Like a sharp razor, you have wrought deceit.
3 Ati waan gaarii irra waan hamaa jaallatta; dhugaa dubbachuu irra immoo soba dubbachuu jaallatta.
You have loved malice above goodness, and iniquity more than speaking righteousness.
4 Yaa arraba gowwoomsituu nana, ati dubbii nama miidhu hunda jaallatta.
You have loved all precipitous words, you deceitful tongue.
5 Kanaafuu Waaqni bara baraan si balleessa: Inni dunkaana kee keessaa butee si ciccira; biyya jiraattotaa keessaas si buqqisa.
Because of this, God will destroy you in the end. He will pull you up, and he will remove you from your tabernacle and your root from the land of the living.
6 Qajeeltonni waan kana arganii sodaatan; isaanis akkana jedhanii isatti kolfan;
The just will see and be afraid, and they will laugh over him, and say:
7 “Kunoo, namicha Waaqa daʼoo isaa hin godhatin, qooda kanaa immoo baayʼina qabeenya isaa amanatee jalʼina ofiitti ciche!”
“Behold the man who did not set God as his helper. But he hoped in the multitude of his riches, and so he prevailed in his emptiness.”
8 Ani garuu akkuma ejersa mana Waaqaa keessatti lalisuu ti; baraa hamma bara baraattis, jaalala Waaqaa kan hin geeddaramne sana nan amanadha.
But I, like a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, have hoped in the mercy of God unto eternity, and forever 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 confess to you forever, because you have accomplished it. And I will wait on your name, for it is good in the sight of your saints.
