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.

A Psalm by David, when he was in the desert of Judah. God, you are my God. I will earnestly seek you. My soul thirsts for you. My flesh longs for you, in a dry and weary land, where there is no water.

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

So I have seen you in the sanctuary, watching your power and your glory.

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

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

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

So I will bless you while I live. I will lift up my hands in your name.

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

My soul shall be satisfied as with the richest food. My mouth shall praise you with joyful lips,

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

when I remember you on my bed, and think about you in the night watches.

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

For you have been my help. I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings.

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

My soul stays close to you. Your right hand holds me up.

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 jackal food.

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 will praise him, for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be silenced.
