Faarfannaa 64

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

For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint: 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 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 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 places 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 purpose; they commune of laying snares privily; 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; We have accomplished, [say they], a diligent search: and the inward thought of every one, 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 be made to stumble, their own tongue being against them: all that see them shall wag the head.

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

And all men shall fear; and they shall declare the work of God, and 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.
