Faarfannaa 63

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yeroo inni Gammoojjii Yihuudaa keessa turetti. Yaa Waaqi, ati Waaqa koo ti; ani dhugumaan sin barbaadadha; lafa gogaa fi gammoojjii, lafa bishaan hin jirretti, lubbuun koo si dheebotti; foon koos sitti gaggaba.

O God, thou are my God. I will earnestly seek thee. My soul thirsts for thee, my flesh longs for thee, in a dry and weary land, where is no water.

2 Kanaafuu ani iddoo qulqulluu keessattin si arge; humna keetii fi ulfina kees nan ilaale.

So I have looked upon thee in the sanctuary to see thy power and thy glory.

3 Waan jaalalli kee jireenya caaluuf, hidhiin koo si jajatti.

Because thy loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise thee.

4 Ani hamman jirutti sin eebbisa; maqaa keetiinis harka koo ol nan qabadha.

So I will bless thee while I live. I will lift up my hands in thy name.

5 Lubbuun koo akka nama dhukaa fi cooma quufeetti quufti; afaan koos hidhii ililleetiin si jajata.

My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness. And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips

6 Ani siree koo irratti sin yaadadha; halkan guutuus waaʼee kee nan yaada.

when I remember thee upon my bed, and meditate on thee in the night-watches.

7 Waan ati gargaarsa koo taateef, ani gaaddisa qoochoo keetii jalatti gammachuudhaan nan faarfadha.

For thou have been my help, and in the shadow of thy wings I will rejoice.

8 Lubbuun koo sitti maxxanti; harki kee mirgaa ol na qaba.

My soul follows close after thee. Thy right hand upholds me.

9 Warri lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadan garuu boolla lafaa isa gad fagoo keessa buʼu.

But those who seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.

10 Isaan dabarfamanii goraadeetti kennamu; nyaata waangoos ni taʼu.

They shall be given over to the power of the sword. They shall be a portion for foxes.

11 Mootiin garuu Waaqaatti ni gammada; namni Waaqaan kakatu hundinuu ulfina argata; afaan warra soba dubbatuu immoo ni cufama.

But the king shall rejoice in God. Everyone who swears by him shall glory, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
