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 musician upon Jonath-elem-rechokim, by David, a Michtham, when the Philistines seized him in Gath.” Be gracious unto me, O God; for man longeth to swallow me up; all the time he oppresseth me fighting.
2 Diinonni koo guyyaa guutuu na gaadu; namoonni baayʼeen of tuulummaadhaan na lolu.
Those that regard me with envy long to swallow [me] up all the time; for many are they that fight against me, O thou Most High.
3 Ani yommuun sodaadhutti sin amanadha.
The day [when] I am afraid, I will still trust in thee.
4 Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqa nan amanadha; homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni duʼa hin oolle maal na gochuu dandaʼa?
In God will I praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can flesh do unto me?
5 Isaan guyyaa guutuu dubbii koo micciiru; na miidhuudhaafis yeroo hunda natti malatu.
All the day they wrest my words: against me are all their thoughts for evil.
6 Isaan ni mariʼatu; ni riphus; lubbuu koo galaafachuuf jedhanii tarkaanfii koo eeggatu.
They come together in troops, they hide themselves, they are those that watch my heels, as though they hoped [to take] my soul.
7 Sababii hammina isaaniitiif akka isaan miliqan hin godhin; yaa Waaqi, dheekkamsa keetiin saboota gad deebisi.
Because of their wrong-doing let me escape from them: in anger cast down the people, O God.
8 Gadadamu koo galmeessi; imimmaan koos kitaaba kee keessatti barreessi; isaan galmee kee keessa jiru mitii?
My wanderings hast thou well numbered: put thou my tears into thy bottle; behold, they are numbered by thee.
9 Yommuu ani gargaarsaaf si waammadhutti, diinonni koo dugda duuba deebiʼu. Anis kanaan akka Waaqni na wajjin jiru beeka.
Then shall my enemies retire backward on the day when I call [on thee]: this I know—that God is for me.
10 Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqayyo ani dubbii isaa jajadhu,
In God will I praise the word: in the Lord will I praise the word.
11 Waaqa nan amanadha; ani homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni maal na gochuu dandaʼa?
In God have I put my trust; I will not be afraid: what can man do unto me?
12 Yaa Waaqi wareegni kee narra jira; aarsaa galataas siif nan dhiʼeessa.
Upon me, O God, [rest] thy vows: I will pay thanksgiving offerings unto thee.
13 Akka ani fuula Waaqaa dura, ifa jireenyaa keessa deddeebiʼuuf, ati lubbuu koo duʼa jalaa, miilla koos gufachuu oolchiteertaatii.
For thou hast delivered my soul from death—yea, behold, my feet from slipping, that I may walk before God in the light of the life.
