Faarfannaa 55
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Miʼa ribuutiin. Maskiilii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi; waammata koo jalaas hin didin.
For the music director. With stringed instruments. A psalm (maskil) of David. God, please hear my prayer; don't ignore my cry for help!
2 Na dhagaʼiitii deebii naa kenni; komiin koo na dhiphisa; anis nagaa dhabeera.
Please listen, and give me an answer. I'm terribly troubled by my problems! I'm frantic!
3 Sagalee diinaatiin, cunqursa namoota hamoos dhufe; isaan dhiphina natti fiduutii; aariidhaanis na jibbu.
For my enemies are screaming at me; the wicked are intimidating me. They rain down suffering on me, angrily assaulting me in their hatred.
4 Lapheen koo na keessatti dhiphatte; sodaan duʼaas na qabate.
My heart thumps in agony! Terrified, I feel I'm about to die!
5 Sodaa fi hollannaan natti dhufeera; naasuunis na fudhateera.
I'm in a panic, trembling with fear; feelings of horror wash over me.
6 Anis akkana nan jedhe; “Utuu ani akkuma gugee qoochoo qabaadhee! Silaa asii barrisee nan boqodhan ture.
I tell myself, If only God would give me wings like a dove so I could fly away and be at peace!
7 Silaa fagootti baqadhee gammoojjii keessa nan bubbula ture;
I would fly far away to escape, and stay in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 silaa bubbee hamaa fi qilleensa jabaa irraa fagaadhee gara iddoo boqonnaa kootti nan ariifadhan ture.”
I would hurry to a place to hide, out of the wind, safe from the raging storm.
9 Yaa Gooftaa, namoota hamoo burjaajessi; dubbii isaaniis waliin dhaʼi; ani magaalaa keessatti goolii fi lola argeeraatii.
Confuse them, Lord! Muddle what they're saying, for I see violence and conflict in the city.
10 Isaan halkanii guyyaa ol baʼanii dallaa ishee irra naannaʼu; jalʼinnii fi rakkinni ishee keessa jira.
They patrol the city walls day and night, and wickedness and trouble are within the city.
11 Ishee keessa badiisatu jira; nama cunqursuu fi gowwoomsuun daandii ishee irraa hin dhabamu.
The ones causing destruction are inside the city; frauds and cheats are always on the streets.
12 Utuu diinni na arrabsee, silaa obsuu nan dandaʼa ture; utuu amajaajiin natti kaʼee, silaa jalaa dhokachuu nan dandaʼa ture.
The problem is that it's not an enemy who mocks me—I could stand that. It's not someone who hates me who insults me—I could avoid them.
13 Garuu siʼi namuma akka kootii, hiriyaa koo, michuu koo kan natti dhiʼaatutu waan kana godhe.
No, it's you, a man just like me, my best friend who I know so well!
14 Tokkummaadhaan mana Waaqaa walii wajjin deemne; haasaa miʼaawaas walii wajjin haasofne.
Our friendship was so close. We used to have great talks together as we walked with everyone to the house of God.
15 Duuti tasa isaanitti haa dhufu; utuma lubbuudhaan jiranuu siiʼool keessa haa buʼan; hamminni mana isaaniitii fi garaa isaanii keessa jiraattii. (Sheol h7585)
May death come quickly to them; may they go down into the grave alive, because evil finds its home in them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ani garuu Waaqa nan waammadha; Waaqayyos jalaa na baasa.
As for me, I cry out to God, and the Lord will save me.
17 Ani galgala, ganamaa fi waareetti dhiphinaan nan iyya; innis sagalee koo ni dhagaʼa.
I weep and groan morning, noon, and night, and he listens to me.
18 Yoo namni baayʼeen anaan morme illee, inni waraana natti kaʼe jalaa miidhaa malee na baasa.
He rescues me, keeping me safe and sound from my attackers, because there are so many against me.
19 Waaqni inni durumaa jalqabee teessoo irra jiru sun, Namoota karaa isaanii hin geeddaranne, kanneen Waaqa hin sodaanne ni dhagaʼa; isaan qaanessas.
God who has ruled from the beginning will hear me and answer them. (Selah) For they refuse to change and don't respect God.
20 Hiriyaan koo michoota isaatti harka isaa ol fudhate; kakuu isaa illee ni cabse.
As for my best friend, he attacked his friends who had no quarrel with him; he broke the promises he had made to them.
21 Dubbiin isaa akkuma dhadhaa ti; nama hin quuqu; garaa isaa keessa garuu lolatu jira; dubbiin isaa zayitii caalaa lallaafa; garuu goraadee luqqifamee dha.
What he says is as smooth as butter, but inside he plans war; his words are as soothing as oil, but they cut like sharp swords.
22 Yaaddoo kee Waaqayyotti kennadhu; inni si jiraachisa; namni qajeelaan akka jeqamus hin godhu.
Throw your burdens onto the Lord and he will take care of you. He will never allow those who live right to fall.
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.
But you, God, will bring down murderers and liars, throwing them into the pit of destruction before they have even lived half their lives. As for me, I will trust in you.
