Faarfannaa 64

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, yommuu ani iyyadhu sagalee koo dhagaʼi; lubbuu koos doorsisuu diinaa duraa baasi.

For the end, a Psalm of David. Hear my prayer, O God, when I make my petition to you; deliver my soul from fear of the enemy.

2 Marii jalʼootaa duraa, mala namoota hamoo duraas na dhoksi.

You have sheltered me from the conspiracy of them that do wickedly; from the multitude of them that work iniquity;

3 Isaan arraba isaanii akka goraadee qaratan; dubbii hadhaaʼaas akkuma xiyyaatti qopheeffatu.

who have sharpened their tongues as a sword; they have bent their bow maliciously;

4 Isaan riphanii nama yakka hin qabnetti futtaasu; akkuma tasaas sodaa malee itti gad dhiisu.

to shoot in secret at the blameless; they will shoot him suddenly, and will not fear.

5 Kaayyoo jalʼinaa irratti wal jajjabeessu; waaʼee dhoksanii kiyyoo kaaʼuus ni mariʼatu; “Eenyutu isa arguu dandaʼa?” jedhaniis ni yaadu.

They have set up for themselves an evil matter, they have given counsel to hide snares; they have said, Who shall see them?

6 Isaanis jalʼina yaaduudhaan, “Nu mala hirʼina hin qabne malanneerra!” jedhu; yaadnii fi keessi garaa namaa gad fagoodhaatii.

They have searched out iniquity; they have wearied themselves with searching diligently, a man shall approach and the heart is deep,

7 Waaqni garuu xiyya isaa isaanitti futtaasa; isaanis akkuma tasaa madaaʼu.

and God shall be exalted, their wounds were [caused by] the weapon of the foolish children,

8 Innis arrabuma isaaniin isaan balleessa; warri isaan argan hundinuu tuffiidhaan mataa raasu.

and their tongues have set him at nothing, all that saw them were troubled;

9 Namoonni hundinuu ni sodaatu; isaan hojii Waaqaa ni labsu; waan inni hojjete illee ni qalbeeffatu.

and every man was alarmed, and they related the works of God, and understood his deeds.

10 Namni qajeelaan Waaqayyotti gammada; isattis kooluu gala; gara toleeyyiin hundinuu isaan ulfina argatu.

The righteous shall rejoice in the Lord, and hope on him, and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
