Faarfannaa 64
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, yommuu ani iyyadhu sagalee koo dhagaʼi; lubbuu koos doorsisuu diinaa duraa baasi.
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer: 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 the wicked; from the insurrection of the workers of iniquity:
3 Isaan arraba isaanii akka goraadee qaratan; dubbii hadhaaʼaas akkuma xiyyaatti qopheeffatu.
Who whet their tongue like a sword, and bend their bows to shoot their arrows, even bitter words:
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 commune of laying snares privately; they say, Who shall 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 accomplish a diligent search: both the inward thought of every one of them, and the heart, is deep.
7 Waaqni garuu xiyya isaa isaanitti futtaasa; isaanis akkuma tasaa madaaʼu.
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly shall they be wounded.
8 Innis arrabuma isaaniin isaan balleessa; warri isaan argan hundinuu tuffiidhaan mataa raasu.
So they shall make their own tongue to fall on themselves: 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 the work of God; for they shall wisely consider of 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 trust in him; and all the upright in heart shall glory.
