Faarfannaa 58
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Hin balleessin” jedhuun faarfatame. Faarfannaa Daawiti. Miiktaamii. Yaa bulchitoota, isin dhugumaan waan qajeelaa dubbattanii? Nama gidduuttis murtii qajeelaa kennitanii?
To the chief Musician, Al-taschith, Michtam of David. Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?
2 Akkas miti; isin garaa keessan keessatti hammina yaaddu; harki keessanis lafa irratti goolii kaasa.
Yea, in heart ye work wickedness; ye weigh the violence of your hands in the earth.
3 Namoonni hamoon dhalootumaa kaasanii karaa irraa jalʼatu; gadameessa haadha isaaniitii jalqabniis karaa irraa goranii soba dubbatu.
The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
4 Hadhaan isaanii akkuma hadhaa bofaa ti; isaan akkuma buutii duudaa gurra isaa cuqqaalatee
Their poison [is] like the poison of a serpent: [they are] like the deaf adder [that] stoppeth her ear;
5 sagalee nama isa raatessuu yookaan nama waan ittiin isa raatessu hojjetu tokkoo dhagaʼuu diduu ti.
Which will not hearken to the voice of charmers, charming never so wisely.
6 Yaa Waaqi ati ilkaan isaanii afaan isaanii keessatti caccabsi; qarriffaa leencotaas daaki, yaa Waaqayyo!
Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: break out the great teeth of the young lions, O LORD.
7 Isaan akkuma bishaan dhangalaʼee baduutti haa badan; yeroo iddaa futtaasanitti xiyyi isaanii haa doomu.
Let them melt away as waters [which] run continually: [when] he bendeth [his bow to shoot] his arrows, let them be as cut in pieces.
8 Akkuma ciilalluu yommuu deemu baquutti, akkuma daaʼima utuu yeroon hin gaʼin dhalatuuttis aduu hin argin.
As a snail [which] melteth, let [every one of them] pass away: [like] the untimely birth of a woman, [that] they may not see the sun.
9 Utuu okkoteen keessan ibidda qoraattiitiin hin hoʼin, jiidhaas taʼu gogaan isaanii haxaaʼamanii balleeffamu.
Before your pots can feel the thorns, he shall take them away as with a whirlwind, both living, and in [his] wrath.
10 Namni qajeelaan yommuu haaloo baʼuu kana argutti ni gammada; miilla isaas dhiiga namoota hamootiin ni dhiqata.
The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 Yommus namoonni akkana ni jedhu; “Dhugumaan nama qajeelaadhaaf badhaasni jira; dhugumaan Waaqni lafa irratti murtii kennu jira.”
So that a man shall say, Verily [there is] a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God that judgeth in the earth.
