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.

For the end, concerning the people that were removed from the sanctuary, by David for a memorial, when the Philistines caught him in Geth. Have mercy upon me, O God; for man has trodden me down; all the day long he warring has afflicted me.

2 Diinonni koo guyyaa guutuu na gaadu; namoonni baayʼeen of tuulummaadhaan na lolu.

Mine enemies have trodden me down all the day from the dawning of the day; for there are many warring against me.

3 Ani yommuun sodaadhutti sin amanadha.

They shall be afraid, but I will trust in you.

4 Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqa nan amanadha; homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni duʼa hin oolle maal na gochuu dandaʼa?

In God I will praise my words; all the day have I hoped in God; I will not fear what flesh shall do to me.

5 Isaan guyyaa guutuu dubbii koo micciiru; na miidhuudhaafis yeroo hunda natti malatu.

All the day long they have abominated my words; all their devices [are] against me for evil.

6 Isaan ni mariʼatu; ni riphus; lubbuu koo galaafachuuf jedhanii tarkaanfii koo eeggatu.

They will dwell near and hide [themselves]; they will watch my steps, accordingly as I have waited patiently in my soul.

7 Sababii hammina isaaniitiif akka isaan miliqan hin godhin; yaa Waaqi, dheekkamsa keetiin saboota gad deebisi.

You will on no account save them; you will bring down the people in wrath.

8 Gadadamu koo galmeessi; imimmaan koos kitaaba kee keessatti barreessi; isaan galmee kee keessa jiru mitii?

O God, I have declared my life to you; you has set my tears before you, even according to your promise.

9 Yommuu ani gargaarsaaf si waammadhutti, diinonni koo dugda duuba deebiʼu. Anis kanaan akka Waaqni na wajjin jiru beeka.

Mine enemies shall be turned back, in the day wherein I shall call upon you; behold, I know that you are my God.

10 Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqayyo ani dubbii isaa jajadhu,

In God, will I praise [his] word; in the Lord will I praise [his] saying.

11 Waaqa nan amanadha; ani homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni maal na gochuu dandaʼa?

I have hoped in God; I will not be afraid of what man shall do to me.

12 Yaa Waaqi wareegni kee narra jira; aarsaa galataas siif nan dhiʼeessa.

The vows of your praise, O God, which I will pay, are upon me.

13 Akka ani fuula Waaqaa dura, ifa jireenyaa keessa deddeebiʼuuf, ati lubbuu koo duʼa jalaa, miilla koos gufachuu oolchiteertaatii.

For you have delivered my soul from death, and my feet from sliding, that I should be well-pleasing before God in the land of the living.
