Faarfannaa 61

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit kan miʼa ribuutiin faarfatame. Yaa Waaqi, iyyata koo dhagaʼi; kadhannaa koos dhaggeeffadhu.

“To the chief musician upon Neginah, by David.” Hear, O God, my entreaty; listen to my prayer.

2 Yeroo garaan koo citetti, ani handaara lafaatii sin waammadha; ati gara kattaa na caalaa ol dheeratuutti na geessi.

From the end of the earth will I call unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is too high for me.

3 Ati iddoo ani itti kooluu galuudhaatii; fuula diina koo durattis gamoo jabaa dha.

For thou hast been a shelter unto me, a strong tower against the enemy.

4 Ani bara baraan dunkaana kee keessa jiraachuu, gaaddisa qoochoo keetii jalattis kooluu galuu nan hawwa.

Let me sojourn in thy tent to all eternity; let me be sheltered under the covert of thy wings. (Selah)

5 Yaa Waaqi, ati wareega koo dhageesseertaatii; dhaala warri maqaa kee sodaatan argatanis naa kenniteerta.

For thou, O God, hast truly listened to my vows: thou hast given back the heritage of those that fear thy name.

6 Bara jireenya mootii, umurii isaa illee dhalootaa gara dhalootaatti dheeressi.

Oh, add days unto the king's days: may his years be as of many generations.

7 Innis fuula Waaqaa duratti bara baraan haa moʼu; akka jaalalli keetii fi amanamummaan kee isa eeganis godhi.

May he abide for ever before God: ordain that kindness and truth may guard him.

8 Anis faarfannaa galataa maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha; guyyuma guyyaanis wareega koo nan guuttadha.

So will I sing praise unto thy name for ever, that I may pay my vows day by day.
