Faarfannaa 59
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo Daawit kan “Hin balleessin” jedhuun faarfatame. Miiktaamii. Daawitis yeroo Saaʼol isa ajjeesuudhaaf jedhee namoota ergee mana isaa eegsisetti faarfate. Yaa Waaqi, diinota koo jalaa na baasi; warra natti kaʼan jalaas na furi.
For the choirmaster. To the tune of “Do Not Destroy.” A Miktam of David, when Saul sent men to watch David’s house in order to kill him. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; protect me from those who rise against me.
2 Warra hammina hojjetan jalaa na baasi; namoota dhiiga dhangalaasan jalaas na baraari.
Deliver me from workers of iniquity, and save me from men of bloodshed.
3 Ilaa, isaan riphanii na eeggachaa jiruu! Yaa Waaqayyo, namoonni hamoon, utuu ani balleessaa fi cubbuu hin qabaatin lola natti kaasu.
See how they lie in wait for me. Fierce men conspire against me for no transgression or sin of my own, O LORD.
4 Ani balleessaa tokko illee hin hojjennee; isaan garuu na loluuf qophaaʼaniiru. Na gargaaruudhaaf kaʼi; rakkina koos ilaali!
For no fault of my own, they move swiftly to attack me. Arise to help me, and take notice.
5 Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, yaa Waaqa Israaʼel, saboota hunda adabuudhaaf kaʼi; warra hammina isaaniitiin yakka hojjetan tokko illee hin maarin.
O LORD God of Hosts, the God of Israel, rouse Yourself to punish all the nations; show no mercy to the wicked traitors.
6 Isaanis galgala galgala deebiʼanii, akka saree gururiʼaa magaalattii irra naannaʼu.
They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
7 Waan isaan afaan isaaniitii baasan ilaali; hidhii isaanii irra goraadeetu jira; isaanis, “Eenyutu nu dhagaʼuu dandaʼa?” jedhu.
See what they spew from their mouths— sharp words from their lips: “For who can hear us?”
8 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu isaanitti kolfita; saboota sana hundumattis ni qoosta.
But You, O LORD, laugh at them; You scoff at all the nations.
9 Yaa Jabina ko, ani sin eeggadha; yaa Waaqi ati daʼoo koo,
I will keep watch for You, O my strength, because You, O God, are my fortress.
10 Waaqa na jaallatuu dha. Waaqni fuula koo dura deema; akka ani diinota koo moʼannoodhaan of jalatti ilaalu godha.
My God of loving devotion will come to meet me; God will let me stare down my foes.
11 Yaa Gooftaa, yaa gaachana keenya, ati garuu isaan hin ajjeesin; yoo kanaa achii sabni koo ni irraanfata. Humna keetiin akka isaan jooran godhi; gad isaan deebisis.
Do not kill them, or my people will forget. Scatter them by Your power, and bring them down, O Lord, our shield.
12 Sababii cubbuu afaan isaaniitiif, sababii dubbii hidhii isaaniitiif, isaan of tuulummaa isaaniitiin haa qabaman. Sababii abaarsaa fi soba isaan dubbataniitiif,
By the sins of their mouths and the words of their lips, let them be trapped in their pride, in the curses and lies they utter.
13 dheekkamsaan isaan balleessi; akka isaan deebiʼanii hin argamneef isaan balleessi. Kanaanis akka Waaqni Yaaqoob irratti mootii taʼe, hamma handaara lafaatti ni beekama.
Consume them in wrath; consume them till they are no more, so it may be known to the ends of the earth that God rules over Jacob.
14 Isaanis galgala galgala deebiʼanii, akka saree gururiʼaa, magaalattii irra naannaʼu.
They return in the evening, snarling like dogs and prowling around the city.
15 Isaan waan nyaatan barbaacha asii fi achi jooru; yoo quufuu baatan immoo ni iyyu.
They scavenge for food, and growl if they are not satisfied.
16 Ani garuu waaʼee jabina keetii nan faarfadha; ganamaanis waaʼee jaalala keetii nan faarfadha; ati daʼoo kootii; yeroo rakkina koottis ati iddoo ani itti kooluu galuu dha.
But I will sing of Your strength and proclaim Your loving devotion in the morning. For You are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble.
17 Yaa Jabina ko, ani faarfannaa galataa siifin faarfadha; yaa Waaqi, ati daʼoo koo ti; ati Waaqa ani abdadhuu dha.
To You, O my strength, I sing praises, for You, O God, are my fortress, my God of loving devotion.
