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 "The Dove of God from the distant Sea." David’s. A precious Psalm. When the Philistines seized him in Gath. Show me favour, O God, For weak man hath panted for me, All the day, a fighter oppresseth me:
2 Diinonni koo guyyaa guutuu na gaadu; namoonni baayʼeen of tuulummaadhaan na lolu.
Mine adversaries have panted all the day, For, many, are fighting with me, loftily.
3 Ani yommuun sodaadhutti sin amanadha.
What day I am afraid, I, unto thee will direct my confidence.
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 his cause, —In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, 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, all their devices are for mischief;
6 Isaan ni mariʼatu; ni riphus; lubbuu koo galaafachuuf jedhanii tarkaanfii koo eeggatu.
They stir up strife—they lie hid, They, mark my steps, —Seeing they have waited for my life.
7 Sababii hammina isaaniitiif akka isaan miliqan hin godhin; yaa Waaqi, dheekkamsa keetiin saboota gad deebisi.
Because of iniquity, recompense thou them, —In anger, bring thou down, the peoples, O God.
8 Gadadamu koo galmeessi; imimmaan koos kitaaba kee keessatti barreessi; isaan galmee kee keessa jiru mitii?
My wandering, hast, thou, recorded, —Put thou my tears in thy bottle, Are they not in thy record?
9 Yommuu ani gargaarsaaf si waammadhutti, diinonni koo dugda duuba deebiʼu. Anis kanaan akka Waaqni na wajjin jiru beeka.
Then, shall my foes turn back, in the day I cry, This, I know, for God is mine!
10 Waaqa ani dubbii isaa jajadhu, Waaqayyo ani dubbii isaa jajadhu,
In God, will I praise with good cause: In Yahweh, will I praise with good cause;
11 Waaqa nan amanadha; ani homaa hin sodaadhu. Namni maal na gochuu dandaʼa?
In God, have I trusted, I will not fear, What can a son of earth do unto me!
12 Yaa Waaqi wareegni kee narra jira; aarsaa galataas siif nan dhiʼeessa.
Upon me, O God, are thy vows, I will pay back praises unto thee.
13 Akka ani fuula Waaqaa dura, ifa jireenyaa keessa deddeebiʼuuf, ati lubbuu koo duʼa jalaa, miilla koos gufachuu oolchiteertaatii.
For thou hast rescued my soul from death, Wilt thou not [rescue] my feet from stumbling? That I may walk to and fro, before God, In the light of life.
