Faarfannaa 56
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Gugee Qilxuu Fagoo irraa” jedhuun faarfatame. Miiktaamii Faarfannaa Daawit. Innis yeroo Filisxeemonni Gaati keessatti isa qaban faarfate. Yaa Waaqi na maari; diinonni koo akka malee na ariʼu; guyyaa guutuus na cunqursu.
To the chief music-maker; put to Jonath elem rehokim. Of David. Michtam. When the Philistines took him in Gath. Have mercy on me, O God, for man is attempting my destruction; every day he makes cruel attacks against me.
2 Diinonni koo guyyaa guutuu na gaadu; namoonni baayʼeen of tuulummaadhaan na lolu.
My haters are ever ready to put an end to me; great numbers are lifting themselves up against me.
3 Ani yommuun sodaadhutti sin amanadha.
In the time of my fear, I will have faith in you.
4 Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqa nan amanadha; homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni duʼa hin oolle maal na gochuu dandaʼa?
In God will I give praise to his word; in God have I put my hope; I will have no fear of what flesh may do to me.
5 Isaan guyyaa guutuu dubbii koo micciiru; na miidhuudhaafis yeroo hunda natti malatu.
Every day they make wrong use of my words; all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 Isaan ni mariʼatu; ni riphus; lubbuu koo galaafachuuf jedhanii tarkaanfii koo eeggatu.
They come together, they are waiting in secret places, they take note of my steps, they are waiting for my soul.
7 Sababii hammina isaaniitiif akka isaan miliqan hin godhin; yaa Waaqi, dheekkamsa keetiin saboota gad deebisi.
By evil-doing they will not get free from punishment. In wrath, O God, let the peoples be made low.
8 Gadadamu koo galmeessi; imimmaan koos kitaaba kee keessatti barreessi; isaan galmee kee keessa jiru mitii?
You have seen my wanderings; put the drops from my eyes into your bottle; are they not in your record?
9 Yommuu ani gargaarsaaf si waammadhutti, diinonni koo dugda duuba deebiʼu. Anis kanaan akka Waaqni na wajjin jiru beeka.
When I send up my cry to you, my haters will be turned back; I am certain of this, for God is with me.
10 Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqayyo ani dubbii isaa jajadhu,
In God will I give praise to his word; in the Lord will I give praise to his word.
11 Waaqa nan amanadha; ani homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni maal na gochuu dandaʼa?
In God have I put my hope, I will have no fear of what man may do to me.
12 Yaa Waaqi wareegni kee narra jira; aarsaa galataas siif nan dhiʼeessa.
I keep the memory of my debt to you, O God; I will give you the offerings of praise.
13 Akka ani fuula Waaqaa dura, ifa jireenyaa keessa deddeebiʼuuf, ati lubbuu koo duʼa jalaa, miilla koos gufachuu oolchiteertaatii.
Because you have taken my soul from the power of death; and kept my feet from falling, so that I may be walking before God in the light of life.
