Faarfannaa 55
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Miʼa ribuutiin. Maskiilii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi; waammata koo jalaas hin didin.
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 hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
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 affliction upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 Lapheen koo na keessatti dhiphatte; sodaan duʼaas na qabate.
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Sodaa fi hollannaan natti dhufeera; naasuunis na fudhateera.
Fearfulness 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! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Silaa fagootti baqadhee gammoojjii keessa nan bubbula ture;
Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain 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 windy storm and tempest.
9 Yaa Gooftaa, namoota hamoo burjaajessi; dubbii isaaniis waliin dhaʼi; ani magaalaa keessatti goolii fi lola argeeraatii.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: 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: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
11 Ishee keessa badiisatu jira; nama cunqursuu fi gowwoomsuun daandii ishee irraa hin dhabamu.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
12 Utuu diinni na arrabsee, silaa obsuu nan dandaʼa ture; utuu amajaajiin natti kaʼee, silaa jalaa dhokachuu nan dandaʼa ture.
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid 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, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
14 Tokkummaadhaan mana Waaqaa walii wajjin deemne; haasaa miʼaawaas walii wajjin haasofne.
We took sweet counsel together, and walked unto the house of God in company.
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, and let them go down quick into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ani garuu Waaqa nan waammadha; Waaqayyos jalaa na baasa.
As for me, I will call upon God; And Yhwh shall 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 cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
18 Yoo namni baayʼeen anaan morme illee, inni waraana natti kaʼe jalaa miidhaa malee na baasa.
He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.
19 Waaqni inni durumaa jalqabee teessoo irra jiru sun, Namoota karaa isaanii hin geeddaranne, kanneen Waaqa hin sodaanne ni dhagaʼa; isaan qaanessas.
God shall hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore 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 be at peace with him: he hath broken 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.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords.
22 Yaaddoo kee Waaqayyotti kennadhu; inni si jiraachisa; namni qajeelaan akka jeqamus hin godhu.
Cast thy burden upon Yhwh, and he shall sustain thee: he shall 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.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
