Faarfannaa 68
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Waaqni haa kaʼu; diinonni isaas haa bittinnaaʼan; warri isa jibbanis fuula isaa duraa haa baqatan.
For the leader. Of David. A psalm. A song. God arises, his enemies scatter: they who hate him flee before him.
2 Akkuma aarri bittinnaaʼu, ati isaan bittinneessi; akkuma gagaan ibidda duratti baqu, hamoonni fuula Waaqaa duraa haa badan.
As smoke before wind is driven, as wax melts before fire, so before God vanish the wicked.
3 Qajeelonni garuu haa gammadan; fuula Waaqaa durattis baayʼee haa gammadan; isaan gammachuudhaan haa ililchan.
But the righteous rejoice in God’s presence, they exult with exceeding joy.
4 Waaqaaf faarfadhaa; faarfannaa galataa maqaa isaatiif faarfadhaa; isa duumessaan gulufu sana jajadhaa; maqaan isaa Waaqayyoo dha; fuula isaa durattis baayʼee gammadaa.
Sing to God, make music to his name, his name is the Lord, praise him who rides on the clouds, and exult in his presence.
5 Waaqni warra abbaa hin qabneef abbaa, niitota dhirsoonni irraa duʼaniifis falmaa taʼe sun iddoo jireenya isaa qulqulluu keessa jira.
Father of orphans, defender of widows, is God in his holy abode.
6 Waaqni warra kophaa taʼan maatii keessa jiraachisa; warra hidhamanis mana hidhaatii baasa; finciltoonni garuu lafa gogaa irra jiraatu.
God brings home the lonely, he leads forth the prisoner to comfort, so that none but the rebel lives cheerless.
7 Yaa Waaqayyo, gaafa ati saba kee dura baate, gaafa ati gammoojjii keessa dabarte,
God, when you went in front of your people in your march through the desert, (Selah)
8 fuula Waaqaa, Waaqa Siinaa duratti, fuula Waaqaa, Waaqa Israaʼel duratti, lafti ni raafamte; samiiwwanis bokkaa roobsan.
earth shook, the heavens poured rain at the presence of God, Sinai’s God at the presence of God, Israel’s God.
9 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati bokkaa baayʼee roobsite; dhaala kee kan dadhabe illee ni quubsite.
Rain in abundance, God, you did sprinkle, restoring the languishing land of your heritage.
10 Sabni kee achi qubate; yaa Waaqayyo, ati badhaadhummaa kee keessaa hiyyeeyyii soorte.
A dwelling therein your people found: in your goodness, O God, you did care for the poor.
11 Gooftaan dubbii isaa kenne; dubartoonni dubbii sana labsanis baayʼee dha:
The Lord spoke the glad tidings of victory, a great army of women proclaim it:
12 “Mootonnii fi loltoonni ariitiin baqatan; dubartoonni qeʼee oolan boojuu qooddatan.
“Kings of armies they flee, they flee, and the housewife divides the spoil:
13 Yoo gola hoolotaa gidduutti argamtan illee, isin akka gugee qoochoon ishee meetiidhaan uffifamee baalleen ishee immoo warqee calaqqisuun uffifamee ti.”
dove’s wings covered with silver and pinions with shimmer of gold,
14 Yommuu Waaqni Waan Hunda Dandaʼu mootota achitti bittinneessetti, Zalmoon irratti cabbiin buʼe.
set with stones, like snow upon Zalmon.”
15 Yaa tulluu Baashaan, yaa tulluu surra qabeessa, yaa Tulluu Baashaan, yaa tulluu fiixee baayʼee qabu,
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
16 yaa tulluu fiixee baayʼee qabdu, ati maaliif tulluu Waaqni bulchuuf filate, iddoo Waaqayyo bara baraan jiraatu sana hinaaffaadhaan ilaalta?
You high-peaked mountains, why look you askance at the mountain which God has desired for his home whereon the Lord will live forever?
17 Gaariiwwan Waaqaa kuma hedduu dha; isaan kumaatama yeroo kumaatamaa ti; Gooftaanis Siinaadhaa gara iddoo qulqulluu dhufeera.
The chariots of God are twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his holy place.
18 Ati yommuu ol gubbaa baatetti boojuu baayʼee fudhate; yaa Waaqayyo, yaa Waaqi, ati achi jiraachuuf jettee, namoota irraa, finciltoota irraas kennaa fudhatte.
You did mount the height with trains of your captives, and gifts that you had received from the people. The rebels shall live with the Lord God.
19 Gooftaan guyyuma guyyaan baʼaa keenya baatu, Waaqni Fayyissaa keenya taʼe sun haa eebbifamu.
Blest be the Lord who sustains us daily, the God who is also our savior. (Selah)
20 Waaqni keenya Waaqa fayyinaa ti; duʼa jalaa baʼuunis Waaqayyo Goofticha biraa dhufa.
Our God is a God who is savior. The ways of escape from death are known to the Lord God.
21 Waaqni dhugumaan mataa diina isaa, gubbee mataa warra cubbuu isaaniitti fufanii kan rifeensa qabu ni caccabsa.
Yes, God will shatter the head of his foes the rough scalp of those who strut on in their sins.
22 Gooftaan akkana jedha; “Ani deebisee Baashaanii isaan nan fida; tuujuba galaanaa keessaas deebisee isaan nan fida;
The Lord said: “I will bring you home from Bashan, home from the depths of the sea,
23 kunis akka ati dhiiga diinota keetii miilla keetiin borcituuf; arrabni saroota keetiis akka qooda isaanii qabaatuuf.”
that your feet you may bathe in blood, and your dogs lick their share of the foe.”
24 Yaa Waaqayyo, hiriirri kee mulʼateera; hiriirri Waaqa kootiitii fi mootii kootii iddoo qulqulluutti ol galeera.
In the temple appear God’s triumphal processions, processions in praise of my king and my God,
25 Fuula duraan faarfattoota, dugda duubaan immoo warra muuziiqaa taphatantu ture; dubartoonni dibbee rukutanis gidduu isaanii turan.
with singers in front, and minstrels behind, and maidens with timbrels between them, singing,
26 Waldaa guddaa keessatti Waaqa jajadhaa; yaaʼii Israaʼel keessattis Waaqayyoon jajadhaa.
“You of the well-spring of Israel, bless the Lord God in the dance.”
27 Beniyaam gosti xinnichi isaan dura deema; tuunni ilmaan mootota Yihuudaas achi turan; ilmaan mootota Zebuuloonii fi Niftaalemis achi turan.
There, in front, is Benjamin the little, the princes of Judah beside them, the princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali.
28 Yaa Waaqayyo, humna kee ajaji; yaa Waaqa keenya, akkuma duraan goote sana jabina kee nu argisiisi.
God, show your strength, your godlike might, as you did in the past,
29 Sababii mana qulqullummaa keetii kan Yerusaalem keessaatiif mootonni kennaa siif fidu.
from your temple that crowns Jerusalem. Kings shall bring tribute to you.
30 Bineensota shambaqqoo keessaa, karra korommii jabboota sabootaa keessaas ifadhu. Warra meetii fidan gad deebisi. Warra waraanatti gammadanis bittinneessi.
Rebuke the beast of the reed, the herd of bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Trample down the lovers of lies. Scatter the nations whose joy is in war.
31 Ergamoonni Gibxi ni dhufu; Itoophiyaanis daftee harka ishee Waaqatti balʼifatti.
May they come from Egypt with gifts of oil, Ethiopia haste with full hands to God.
32 Yaa mootummoota lafaa, Waaqa faarfadhaa; faarfannaa galataas Gooftaadhaaf faarfadhaa;
Sing to God, O you kingdoms of earth, make melody to the Lord. (Selah)
33 isa samiiwwan durii keessa gulufu, isa sagalee jabaadhaan qaqawweessaʼu sana faarfadhaa.
Praise him who rides on the ancient heavens. See! He utters his voice, his mighty voice.
34 Waaqa ulfinni isaa Israaʼel irra jiru, isa miidhaginni isaa samiiwwan keessa jiru sana humna isaa labsaa.
Ascribe strength to the God over Israel, whose strength and majesty live in the skies.
35 Yaa Waaqayyo, ati iddoo qulqullummaa keetiitti sodaachisaa dha; Waaqni Israaʼel saba isaatiif humnaa fi jabina ni kenna. Waaqni haa eebbifamu!
Awe-inspiring is God in his holy place, it is Israel’s God who gives strength and might to his people. Blessed be God.
