Faarfannaa 69
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Daraaraatiin.” Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, ati na baasi; bishaan ol dhufee morma na gaʼeeraatii.
“To the chief musician upon Shoshannim, by David.” Save me, O God; for the waters are come even to threaten my life.
2 Ani raaree keessa, lafa iddoon miilla dhaabatan hin jirre keessa seeneera. Ani tuujuba bishaanii keessa seeneera; lolaanis narra garagaleera.
I am sunk in the mire of the deep, where there is no standing; I am come into the depths of the waters, and the flood overfloweth me.
3 Ani iyyuudhaan dadhabeera; laagaan koo babbaqaqeera; iji koo, Waaqa koo eeggachuudhaan dadhabeera.
I am weary of my calling; my throat is hoarse; my eyes fail, while I hope for my God.
4 Warri lafumaa kaʼanii na jibban rifeensa mataa kootii caalaa baayʼatu; warri na ajjeesuu barbaadan, warri akkasumaan diina koo taʼan baayʼee dha. Ani akkan waan hin hatin deebisu dirqameera.
More than the hairs of my head are those that hate me without a cause; numerous are those that would destroy me, that are my enemies wrongfully: what I have not robbed shall I now restore.
5 Yaa Waaqi, ati gowwummaa koo ni beekta; yakki koos si duraa hin dhokatu.
O God, thou art well aware of my folly, and my guilty deeds are from thee not hidden.
6 Yaa Gooftaa, Waaqayyo Waan Hunda Dandeessu, warri abdii sirra kaaʼatan, sababii kootiif hin qaanaʼin; yaa Waaqa Israaʼel, warri si barbaadan, sababii kootiif hin qaaneffamin.
Let not those that wait on thee, O Lord Eternal of hosts, be made ashamed through me: let not those that seek thee be confounded through me, O God of Israel.
7 Ani siif jedhee tuffii obseeraatii; qaaniinis fuula koo haguugeera.
Because for thy sake have I borne reproach, hath confusion covered my face.
8 Ani obboloota kootti keessummaa, ilmaan haadha kootiittis alagaa dha;
A stranger am I become unto my brothers, and an alien unto my mother's children.
9 Hinaaffaan mana keetii na guggubeeraatii; arrabsoon warra si arrabsaniis narra buʼeera.
Because the zeal for thy house hath devoured me; and the reproaches of those that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
10 Booʼuu fi soomuun koo, arrabsoo natti taʼe.
When I wept at the fasting of my soul, it became a reproach to me.
11 Yommuu ani wayyaa gaddaa uffadhetti, namoonni natti qoosu.
And when I made sackcloth my garment, I became a proverb to them.
12 Warri karra dura tataaʼan natti qoosu; machooftonnis waaʼee kootiin sirbu.
Those that sit in the gate talk against me; and [about me make] songs the drinkers of strong drink.
13 Ani garuu yaa Waaqayyo, yeroo ati filattutti sin kadhadha; yaa Waaqi, jaalala kee guddichaan fayyina kee kan dhugaatiinis deebii naaf kenni.
But as for me, I direct my prayer unto thee, O Lord, in a time of favor; O God, in the multitude of thy kindness: answer me in the truth of thy salvation.
14 Akka ani hin liqimfamneef, raaree keessaa na baasi; warra na jibban jalaa, bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baasi.
Deliver me out of the mire, that I may not sink: let me be delivered from those that hate me, and out of the depths of the waters.
15 Ati akka lolaan na hin fudhanne, akka tuujubni na hin liqimsine, akka boollis afaan isaa natti hin cufanne godhi.
Let not the flood of waters overflow me, and let not the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit close its mouth upon me.
16 Yaa Waaqayyo, gaarummaa jaalala keetiitiin deebii naaf kenni; araara kee guddichaanis natti garagali.
Answer me, O Lord; for thy kindness is good: according to the multitude of thy mercies turn thou unto me.
17 Fuula kee tajaajilaa kee duraa hin dhokfatin; waan ani rakkina keessa jiruuf dafiitii deebii naaf kenni.
And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in distress: make haste and answer me.
18 Natti dhiʼaadhuutii na furi; xiiqii diinota kootiif jedhii na baasi.
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: because of my enemies do thou ransom me.
19 Ati akka ani hammam tuffatamee, salphifamee fi akka ani qaaneffame ni beekta; diinonni koo hundinuus fuula koo dura jiru.
Thou well knowest my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion: before thee are all my assailants.
20 Arrabsoon garaa koo cabse; anis abdii kutadheera. Ani nama garaa naaf laafu nan barbaade; garuu nan dhabe; nama na jajjabeessus nan barbaade; garuu tokko illee hin arganne.
Reproach hath broken my heart; and I am sick; and I waited for pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 Nyaata kootti hadhooftuu makan; akka ani dhuguuf immoo waan dhangaggaaʼaa naa kennan.
And they put into my food gall; and in my thirst they give me vinegar to drink.
22 Maaddiin isaanii iddaa isaanitti haa taʼu; adabaa fi kiyyoo isaanitti haa taʼu.
May [then] their table become a snare before them: and to those that are at peace, a trap.
23 Akka arguu hin dandeenyeef iji isaanii haa haguuggamu; dugdi isaaniis bara baraan haa goophatu.
May their eyes become dark, that they cannot see; and make their loins continually to waver.
24 Dheekkamsa kee isaan irratti dhangalaasi; aariin kee bobaʼaan sunis isaan irra haa buʼu.
Pour out over them thy indignation, and let the heat of thy anger overtake them.
25 Qeʼeen isaanii haa onu; namni dunkaana isaanii keessa jiraatu tokko iyyuu hin hafin.
May their palace become desolate: in their tents let no one dwell.
26 Isaan warra ati madeessite sana ni ariʼatuutii; waaʼee dhukkubbii warra ati miite sanaas ni odeessu.
For whom thou hast smitten they persecute; and of the pain of those whom thou but wounded do they converse.
27 Yakka irratti yakka isaanitti dabali; isaan gara qajeelumma keetii hin dhufin.
Lay guilt upon their guilt; and let them not come into thy righteousness.
28 Maqaan isaanii kitaaba jireenyaa keessaa haa haqamu; qajeeltota wajjinis hin galmeeffamin.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; and with the righteous let them not be written down.
29 Ani garuu dhiphinaa fi rakkina keessan jira; yaa Waaqi, fayyinni kee ol na haa qabu.
But I am poor and suffering: let thy salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 Ani faarfannaadhaan maqaa Waaqaa nan galateeffadha; galataanis ulfina nan kennaaf.
I will praise the name of God with song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 Kunis sangaa caalaa, korma gaanfaa fi kottee qabu dhiʼeessuu caalaa Waaqayyoon gammachiisa.
And this will please the Lord better than an ox or bullock having horns and cloven hoofs.
32 Hiyyeeyyiin waan kana arganii ni gammadu; isin warri Waaqa barbaaddan garaan keessan jiraata haa taʼu!
The meek will see this, and be rejoiced: ye that seek God, and your heart shall revive.
33 Waaqayyo rakkattoota ni dhagaʼa; namoota isaa warra hidhamanis hin tuffatu.
For the Lord listeneth unto the needy, and his prisoners he despiseth not.
34 Samii fi lafti, galaanonnii fi wanni isaan keessa jiraatan hundinuu isa haa leellissan.
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moveth therein.
35 Waaqni Xiyoonin ni fayyisaatii; magaalaawwan Yihuudaas deebisee ni ijaara. Sabni isaas achi qubata; ni dhaalas.
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may abide there, and have it in possession:
36 Sanyiin tajaajiltoota isaa magaalattii ni dhaalu; warri maqaa isaa jaallatanis achi jiraatu.
And the seed of his servants shall inherit it; and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
