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 music director. According to “Do Not Destroy.” A psalm (miktam) of David, concerning the time Saul sent out soldiers to watch David's house in order to kill him. Rescue me from my enemies, God! Protect me from those who are attacking me!
2 Warra hammina hojjetan jalaa na baasi; namoota dhiiga dhangalaasan jalaas na baraari.
Rescue me from these evil people! Save me from these murderers!
3 Ilaa, isaan riphanii na eeggachaa jiruu! Yaa Waaqayyo, namoonni hamoon, utuu ani balleessaa fi cubbuu hin qabaatin lola natti kaasu.
See how they're lying in wait to kill me! Powerful men are gathered against me, Lord, even though I have not sinned or done anything wrong.
4 Ani balleessaa tokko illee hin hojjennee; isaan garuu na loluuf qophaaʼaniiru. Na gargaaruudhaaf kaʼi; rakkina koos ilaali!
Even though I'm not guilty they hurry to prepare an attack on me. Please stand up, come and help me, and see what's going on.
5 Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandaʼu, yaa Waaqa Israaʼel, saboota hunda adabuudhaaf kaʼi; warra hammina isaaniitiin yakka hojjetan tokko illee hin maarin.
You are God, the Lord Almighty, God of Israel. Stand up, and punish all the nations. Don't have any mercy on these evil traitors. (Selah)
6 Isaanis galgala galgala deebiʼanii, akka saree gururiʼaa magaalattii irra naannaʼu.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
7 Waan isaan afaan isaaniitii baasan ilaali; hidhii isaanii irra goraadeetu jira; isaanis, “Eenyutu nu dhagaʼuu dandaʼa?” jedhu.
See what evil talk comes pouring out of their mouths! Words sharp as swords, for they say to themselves, “Who can hear us?”
8 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati garuu isaanitti kolfita; saboota sana hundumattis ni qoosta.
But you, Lord, you laugh at them; you pour scorn on all the nations.
9 Yaa Jabina ko, ani sin eeggadha; yaa Waaqi ati daʼoo koo,
You are my strength! I will look to you, God, for you are the one who protects me.
10 Waaqa na jaallatuu dha. Waaqni fuula koo dura deema; akka ani diinota koo moʼannoodhaan of jalatti ilaalu godha.
In his trustworthy love, God will come and save me. He will show me how my enemies are defeated.
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.
Don't kill them right away, otherwise my people will quickly forget what you have done. By your power make them stagger around and then fall down, Lord our protection.
12 Sababii cubbuu afaan isaaniitiif, sababii dubbii hidhii isaaniitiif, isaan of tuulummaa isaaniitiin haa qabaman. Sababii abaarsaa fi soba isaan dubbataniitiif,
Let them be caught out by the evil things they say, the words they proudly speak—brought down by their curses and the lies they tell!
13 dheekkamsaan isaan balleessi; akka isaan deebiʼanii hin argamneef isaan balleessi. Kanaanis akka Waaqni Yaaqoob irratti mootii taʼe, hamma handaara lafaatti ni beekama.
Destroy them in your anger! Destroy them completely! Then everyone will know that God rules in Israel!
14 Isaanis galgala galgala deebiʼanii, akka saree gururiʼaa, magaalattii irra naannaʼu.
In the evening they return, snarling like dogs as they roam around the city.
15 Isaan waan nyaatan barbaacha asii fi achi jooru; yoo quufuu baatan immoo ni iyyu.
They wander around, looking for things to eat, and howl when they're 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; in the morning I will sing for joy about your trustworthy love. For you have been my protection; my place of safety in my time of trouble.
17 Yaa Jabina ko, ani faarfannaa galataa siifin faarfadha; yaa Waaqi, ati daʼoo koo ti; ati Waaqa ani abdadhuu dha.
You are my strength, I sing praises to you, for you are the one who protects me—the God who shows me his trustworthy love!
