Faarfannaa 55
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Miʼa ribuutiin. Maskiilii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi; waammata koo jalaas hin didin.
To the chief Musician. On stringed instruments: an instruction. Of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Na dhagaʼiitii deebii naa kenni; komiin koo na dhiphisa; anis nagaa dhabeera.
Attend unto me, and answer me: I wander about in my plaint, and I moan aloud,
3 Sagalee diinaatiin, cunqursa namoota hamoos dhufe; isaan dhiphina natti fiduutii; aariidhaanis na jibbu.
Because of the voice of the enemy; because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4 Lapheen koo na keessatti dhiphatte; sodaan duʼaas na qabate.
My heart is writhing within me, and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Sodaa fi hollannaan natti dhufeera; naasuunis na fudhateera.
Fear and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
6 Anis akkana nan jedhe; “Utuu ani akkuma gugee qoochoo qabaadhee! Silaa asii barrisee nan boqodhan ture.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest;
7 Silaa fagootti baqadhee gammoojjii keessa nan bubbula ture;
Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; (Selah)
8 silaa bubbee hamaa fi qilleensa jabaa irraa fagaadhee gara iddoo boqonnaa kootti nan ariifadhan ture.”
I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.
9 Yaa Gooftaa, namoota hamoo burjaajessi; dubbii isaaniis waliin dhaʼi; ani magaalaa keessatti goolii fi lola argeeraatii.
Swallow [them] up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Isaan halkanii guyyaa ol baʼanii dallaa ishee irra naannaʼu; jalʼinnii fi rakkinni ishee keessa jira.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; and iniquity and mischief are in the midst of it.
11 Ishee keessa badiisatu jira; nama cunqursuu fi gowwoomsuun daandii ishee irraa hin dhabamu.
Perversities are in the midst thereof; and oppression and deceit depart not from its streets.
12 Utuu diinni na arrabsee, silaa obsuu nan dandaʼa ture; utuu amajaajiin natti kaʼee, silaa jalaa dhokachuu nan dandaʼa ture.
For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me — then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified [himself] against me — then would I have hidden myself from him;
13 Garuu siʼi namuma akka kootii, hiriyaa koo, michuu koo kan natti dhiʼaatutu waan kana godhe.
But it was thou, a man mine equal, mine intimate, my familiar friend. ...
14 Tokkummaadhaan mana Waaqaa walii wajjin deemne; haasaa miʼaawaas walii wajjin haasofne.
We who held sweet intercourse together. To the house of God we walked amid the throng.
15 Duuti tasa isaanitti haa dhufu; utuma lubbuudhaan jiranuu siiʼool keessa haa buʼan; hamminni mana isaaniitii fi garaa isaanii keessa jiraattii. (Sheol h7585)
Let death seize upon them, let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwellings, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ani garuu Waaqa nan waammadha; Waaqayyos jalaa na baasa.
As for me, unto God will I call; and Jehovah will save me.
17 Ani galgala, ganamaa fi waareetti dhiphinaan nan iyya; innis sagalee koo ni dhagaʼa.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray and moan aloud; and he will hear my voice.
18 Yoo namni baayʼeen anaan morme illee, inni waraana natti kaʼe jalaa miidhaa malee na baasa.
He hath redeemed my soul in peace from the battle against me: for there were many about me.
19 Waaqni inni durumaa jalqabee teessoo irra jiru sun, Namoota karaa isaanii hin geeddaranne, kanneen Waaqa hin sodaanne ni dhagaʼa; isaan qaanessas.
God will hear, and afflict them: he that is seated of old, (Selah) ...because there is no change in them, and they fear not God.
20 Hiriyaan koo michoota isaatti harka isaa ol fudhate; kakuu isaa illee ni cabse.
He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
21 Dubbiin isaa akkuma dhadhaa ti; nama hin quuqu; garaa isaa keessa garuu lolatu jira; dubbiin isaa zayitii caalaa lallaafa; garuu goraadee luqqifamee dha.
Smooth were the milky [words] of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet are they drawn swords.
22 Yaaddoo kee Waaqayyotti kennadhu; inni si jiraachisa; namni qajeelaan akka jeqamus hin godhu.
Cast thy burden upon Jehovah, and he will sustain thee: he will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
23 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu namoota hamoo boolla badiisaa keessa ni buufta; warri dhiiga dhangalaasanii fi gowwoomsitoonni, walakkaa bara jireenya isaanii iyyuu hin jiraatan. Ani garuu sin amanadha.
And thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days. But as for me, I will confide in thee.
