Faarfannaa 53

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Gosa Muuziiqaa maahilaati jedhamuun faarfatame. Maskiilii Daawiti. Gowwaan garaa isaatti, “Waaqni hin jiru” jedha. Isaan xuraaʼaniiru; karaan isaaniis jibbisiisaa dha; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru.

For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath. A Maskil of David. The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt; their ways are vile. There is no one who does good.

2 Waaqni yoo namni waa hubatu, kan Waaqas barbaadu tokko iyyuu jiraate arguuf jedhee, samii irraa ilmaan namootaa gad ilaala.

God looks down from heaven upon the sons of men to see if any understand, if any seek God.

3 Hundinuu dogoggoraniiru; hundi isaaniis xuraaʼaniiru; namni waan gaarii hojjetu tokko iyyuu hin jiru; tokkumti iyyuu hin jiru.

All have turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

4 Warri hammina hojjetan, kanneen akkuma waan buddeena nyaataniitti saba koo nyaatan, warri Waaqa hin waammanne hundinuu homaa hin beekanii?

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

5 Isaan iddoo wanni sodaatamu hin jirretti, sodaadhaan liqimfamaniiru. Waaqni lafee warra si marsanii ni bittinneessa; sababii Waaqni isaan tuffateef, ati isaan qaanessite.

There they are, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to fear. For God has scattered the bones of those who besieged you. You put them to shame, for God has despised them.

6 Maaloo utuu Xiyoon keessaa fayyinni Israaʼeliif dhufee! Yommuu Waaqni saba isaa warra boojiʼaman deebisutti, Yaaqoob haa ililchu; Israaʼelis haa gammadu!

Oh, that the salvation of Israel would come from Zion! When God restores His captive people, let Jacob rejoice, let Israel be glad!
