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 leader of the music. To be sung to the tune of “Do not destroy.” A psalm of David, when he fled from Saul in the cave.” Have pity upon me, O God! have pity upon me, For in thee doth my soul seek refuge! Yea, in the shadow of thy wings do I take shelter, Until these calamities be overpast!
2 Ani gara Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitti, gara Waaqa haaloo naa baasuutti nan iyya.
I call upon God the Most High, Upon God, who performeth all things 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 will send from heaven, and save me; He will put to shame him that panteth for my life; (Pause) God will send forth his mercy 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 life is in the midst of lions; I dwell among them that breathe out fire; Among men whose teeth are spears and arrows, And whose tongue is a sharp sword.
5 Yaa Waaqi, ati samiiwwaniin olitti ol ol jedhi; ulfinni kees lafa hunda irra haa jiraatu.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above 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 have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down; They have digged a pit before me, But into it they have themselves fallen.
7 Yaa Waaqi, garaan koo hin raafamu; garaan koo hin raafamu; ani nan faarfadha; nan weeddisas.
My heart is strengthened, O God! my heart is strengthened! I will sing, and give thanks.
8 Yaa lubbuu ko, dammaqi! Yaa kiraaraa fi baganaa dammaqaa! Anis ganamaan nan dammaqa.
Awake, my soul! awake, psaltery and harp! I will wake with the early dawn.
9 Yaa Gooftaa, ani saboota gidduutti galata siif nan galcha; namoota gidduuttis waaʼee kee nan faarfadha.
I will praise thee, O Lord! among the nations; I will sing to thee among the kingdoms!
10 Jaalalli kee guddaa dha; samiiwwanis gaʼaatii; amanamummaan kees samiiwwan qaqqaba.
For thy mercy reacheth to the heavens, And thy truth to the clouds!
11 Yaa Waaqi, ati samiiwwaniin olitti ol ol jedhi; ulfinni kees lafa hunda irra haa jiraatu.
Exalt thyself, O God! above the heavens, And thy glory above all the earth!
