Faarfannaa 57
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Hin balleessin” jedhuun faarfatame. Faarfannaa Daawit. Miiktaamii. Innis yeroo Saaʼol jalaa baqatee holqatti galee faarfate. Na maari; yaa Waaqa na maari; lubbuun koo sitti kooluu galtiitii. Anis hamma balaan darbutti, gaaddisa qoochoo keetii jalatti kooluu nan gala.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy, for in You my soul takes refuge. In the shadow of Your wings I will take shelter until the danger has passed.
2 Ani gara Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitti, gara Waaqa haaloo naa baasuutti nan iyya.
I cry out to God Most High, to God who fulfills His purpose for me.
3 Inni samii irraa ergee na oolcha; warra akka malee na ariʼan ni ifata; Waaqni jaalala isaatii fi amanamummaa isaa ni erga.
He reaches down from heaven and saves me; He rebukes those who trample me. (Selah) God sends forth His loving devotion and His truth.
4 Ani leencota gidduun jira; ani bineensota nama nyaatan, namoota ilkaan isaanii eeboo fi xiyyaa kanneen arrabni isaanii akka goraadee qaramaa gidduu ciiseera.
My soul is among the lions; I lie down with ravenous beasts— with men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp swords.
5 Yaa Waaqi, ati samiiwwaniin olitti ol ol jedhi; ulfinni kees lafa hunda irra haa jiraatu.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
6 Isaanis kiyyoo miilla kootiif kaaʼan; lubbuun koos dhiphinaan gad gogdeerti. Isaan karaa koo irratti boolla qotan; garuu isaanumattu keessatti kufe.
They spread a net for my feet; my soul was despondent. They dug a pit before me, but they themselves have fallen into it!
7 Yaa Waaqi, garaan koo hin raafamu; garaan koo hin raafamu; ani nan faarfadha; nan weeddisas.
My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast. I will sing and make music.
8 Yaa lubbuu ko, dammaqi! Yaa kiraaraa fi baganaa dammaqaa! Anis ganamaan nan dammaqa.
Awake, my glory! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awaken the dawn.
9 Yaa Gooftaa, ani saboota gidduutti galata siif nan galcha; namoota gidduuttis waaʼee kee nan faarfadha.
I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.
10 Jaalalli kee guddaa dha; samiiwwanis gaʼaatii; amanamummaan kees samiiwwan qaqqaba.
For Your loving devotion reaches to the heavens, and Your faithfulness to the clouds.
11 Yaa Waaqi, ati samiiwwaniin olitti ol ol jedhi; ulfinni kees lafa hunda irra haa jiraatu.
Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; may Your glory cover all the earth.
