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?

For the music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.

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

You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!

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

You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)

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

You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!

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

But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

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

Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, saying,

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

“See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”

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

But I'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love 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 praise you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
