Faarfannaa 64
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, yommuu ani iyyadhu sagalee koo dhagaʼi; lubbuu koos doorsisuu diinaa duraa baasi.
To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my voice in my plaint; preserve my life from fear of the enemy:
2 Marii jalʼootaa duraa, mala namoota hamoo duraas na dhoksi.
Hide me from the secret counsel of evil-doers, from the tumultuous crowd of the workers of iniquity,
3 Isaan arraba isaanii akka goraadee qaratan; dubbii hadhaaʼaas akkuma xiyyaatti qopheeffatu.
Who have sharpened their tongue like a sword, [and] have aimed their arrow, a bitter word;
4 Isaan riphanii nama yakka hin qabnetti futtaasu; akkuma tasaas sodaa malee itti gad dhiisu.
That they may shoot in secret at the perfect: suddenly do they shoot at him, and fear not.
5 Kaayyoo jalʼinaa irratti wal jajjabeessu; waaʼee dhoksanii kiyyoo kaaʼuus ni mariʼatu; “Eenyutu isa arguu dandaʼa?” jedhaniis ni yaadu.
They encourage themselves in an evil matter, they concert to hide snares; they say, Who will see them?
6 Isaanis jalʼina yaaduudhaan, “Nu mala hirʼina hin qabne malanneerra!” jedhu; yaadnii fi keessi garaa namaa gad fagoodhaatii.
They devise iniquities: We have it ready, the plan is diligently sought out. And each one's inward [thought] and heart is deep.
7 Waaqni garuu xiyya isaa isaanitti futtaasa; isaanis akkuma tasaa madaaʼu.
But God will shoot an arrow at them: suddenly are they wounded;
8 Innis arrabuma isaaniin isaan balleessa; warri isaan argan hundinuu tuffiidhaan mataa raasu.
By their own tongue they are made to fall over one another: all that see them shall flee away.
9 Namoonni hundinuu ni sodaatu; isaan hojii Waaqaa ni labsu; waan inni hojjete illee ni qalbeeffatu.
And all men shall fear, and shall declare God's doing; and they shall wisely consider his work.
10 Namni qajeelaan Waaqayyotti gammada; isattis kooluu gala; gara toleeyyiin hundinuu isaan ulfina argatu.
The righteous shall rejoice in Jehovah, and trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
