Faarfannaa 55
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Miʼa ribuutiin. Maskiilii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, kadhannaa koo dhagaʼi; waammata koo jalaas hin didin.
[For the Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David.] Listen to my prayer, God. Do not hide yourself from my petition.
2 Na dhagaʼiitii deebii naa kenni; komiin koo na dhiphisa; anis nagaa dhabeera.
Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and moan,
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 bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
4 Lapheen koo na keessatti dhiphatte; sodaan duʼaas na qabate.
My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Sodaa fi hollannaan natti dhufeera; naasuunis na fudhateera.
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has overwhelmed me.
6 Anis akkana nan jedhe; “Utuu ani akkuma gugee qoochoo qabaadhee! Silaa asii barrisee nan boqodhan ture.
I said, "Oh that I had wings like a dove. Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 Silaa fagootti baqadhee gammoojjii keessa nan bubbula ture;
Look, then I would wander far 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 hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm."
9 Yaa Gooftaa, namoota hamoo burjaajessi; dubbii isaaniis waliin dhaʼi; ani magaalaa keessatti goolii fi lola argeeraatii.
Confuse them, YHWH, and confound their language, 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 prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
11 Ishee keessa badiisatu jira; nama cunqursuu fi gowwoomsuun daandii ishee irraa hin dhabamu.
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies do not depart 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 who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up 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 you, a man like me, my companion, and my familiar friend.
14 Tokkummaadhaan mana Waaqaa walii wajjin deemne; haasaa miʼaawaas walii wajjin haasofne.
We took sweet fellowship together. We walked in God's house with 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 come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is in their dwelling, in the midst of them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ani garuu Waaqa nan waammadha; Waaqayyos jalaa na baasa.
As for me, I will call on God. YHWH will save me.
17 Ani galgala, ganamaa fi waareetti dhiphinaan nan iyya; innis sagalee koo ni dhagaʼa.
Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear my voice.
18 Yoo namni baayʼeen anaan morme illee, inni waraana natti kaʼe jalaa miidhaa malee na baasa.
He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose 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 is enthroned forever, will hear, and humble them. (Selah) They never change, who do not fear God.
20 Hiriyaan koo michoota isaatti harka isaa ol fudhate; kakuu isaa illee ni cabse.
He has stretched out his hand against those who were at peace with him. He has violated 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.
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
22 Yaaddoo kee Waaqayyotti kennadhu; inni si jiraachisa; namni qajeelaan akka jeqamus hin godhu.
Throw your burden upon YHWH, and he will take care of you. He will never allow the righteous to be upended.
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 them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
