Faarfannaa 64
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, yommuu ani iyyadhu sagalee koo dhagaʼi; lubbuu koos doorsisuu diinaa duraa baasi.
For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint; preserve my life from the terror of the enemy.
2 Marii jalʼootaa duraa, mala namoota hamoo duraas na dhoksi.
Hide me from the council of evil-doers; from the tumult of the workers of iniquity;
3 Isaan arraba isaanii akka goraadee qaratan; dubbii hadhaaʼaas akkuma xiyyaatti qopheeffatu.
Who have whet their tongue like a sword, and have aimed their arrow, a poisoned word;
4 Isaan riphanii nama yakka hin qabnetti futtaasu; akkuma tasaas sodaa malee itti gad dhiisu.
That they may shoot in secret places at the blameless; 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 one another in an evil matter; they converse of laying snares secretly; they ask, who would see them.
6 Isaanis jalʼina yaaduudhaan, “Nu mala hirʼina hin qabne malanneerra!” jedhu; yaadnii fi keessi garaa namaa gad fagoodhaatii.
They search out iniquities, they have accomplished a diligent search; even in the inward thought of every one, and the deep heart.
7 Waaqni garuu xiyya isaa isaanitti futtaasa; isaanis akkuma tasaa madaaʼu.
But God doth shoot at them with an arrow suddenly; thence are their wounds.
8 Innis arrabuma isaaniin isaan balleessa; warri isaan argan hundinuu tuffiidhaan mataa raasu.
So they make their own tongue a stumbling unto themselves; all that see them shake the head.
9 Namoonni hundinuu ni sodaatu; isaan hojii Waaqaa ni labsu; waan inni hojjete illee ni qalbeeffatu.
And all men fear; and they declare the work of God, and understand His doing.
10 Namni qajeelaan Waaqayyotti gammada; isattis kooluu gala; gara toleeyyiin hundinuu isaan ulfina argatu.
The righteous shall be glad in the LORD, and shall take refuge in Him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
