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 Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.
2 Ati namni nama gowwoomsitu, arrabni kee badiisa qopheessa; arrabni kee akkuma qarabaa qaramee ti.
Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.
3 Ati waan gaarii irra waan hamaa jaallatta; dhugaa dubbachuu irra immoo soba dubbachuu jaallatta.
Thou lovest evil more than good; [and] lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
4 Yaa arraba gowwoomsituu nana, ati dubbii nama miidhu hunda jaallatta.
Thou lovest all devouring words, O [thou] deceitful tongue.
5 Kanaafuu Waaqni bara baraan si balleessa: Inni dunkaana kee keessaa butee si ciccira; biyya jiraattotaa keessaas si buqqisa.
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever, he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] dwelling-place, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Qajeeltonni waan kana arganii sodaatan; isaanis akkana jedhanii isatti kolfan;
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:
7 “Kunoo, namicha Waaqa daʼoo isaa hin godhatin, qooda kanaa immoo baayʼina qabeenya isaa amanatee jalʼina ofiitti ciche!”
Lo, [this is] the man [that] made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his wickedness.
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 green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God 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 praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]: and I will wait on thy name; for [it is] good before thy saints.
