< Faarfannaa 69 >

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Daraaraatiin.” Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, ati na baasi; bishaan ol dhufee morma na gaʼeeraatii.
For the leader. On shoshannim. Of David. Save me, O God; for the waters are threatening 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 depths of mire, where ground there is none. I am come into deep deep waters, the flood overwhelms me.
3 Ani iyyuudhaan dadhabeera; laagaan koo babbaqaqeera; iji koo, Waaqa koo eeggachuudhaan dadhabeera.
I am weary of crying, my throat is parched, my eyes are wasted with waiting for 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 who wantonly hate me. More than my bones in number are those who are falsely my foes. That which I never robbed, how am I then to restore?
5 Yaa Waaqi, ati gowwummaa koo ni beekta; yakki koos si duraa hin dhokatu.
O God, you know my folly, my guilt is not hidden from you.
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.
Through me let not any be shamed, who wait for you, Lord God of hosts. Through me let not those be confounded who seek you, O God of Israel.
7 Ani siif jedhee tuffii obseeraatii; qaaniinis fuula koo haguugeera.
It’s in your cause that I have borne taunts, and my face has been covered with shame;
8 Ani obboloota kootti keessummaa, ilmaan haadha kootiittis alagaa dha;
I became to my kindred a foreigner, to my mother’s sons a stranger.
9 Hinaaffaan mana keetii na guggubeeraatii; arrabsoon warra si arrabsaniis narra buʼeera.
It was zeal for your house that consumed me, and the insults they hurled at you fell upon me.
10 Booʼuu fi soomuun koo, arrabsoo natti taʼe.
When I chastened myself with fasting, they took occasion to taunt me.
11 Yommuu ani wayyaa gaddaa uffadhetti, namoonni natti qoosu.
When I put on a garment of sackcloth, they made me the theme of a taunt-song.
12 Warri karra dura tataaʼan natti qoosu; machooftonnis waaʼee kootiin sirbu.
Those who sit in the gate make sport of me in the music of drunken songs.
13 Ani garuu yaa Waaqayyo, yeroo ati filattutti sin kadhadha; yaa Waaqi, jaalala kee guddichaan fayyina kee kan dhugaatiinis deebii naaf kenni.
But I pray to you, Lord, for a time of favour. In your great love answer me; with your loyal help, save me
14 Akka ani hin liqimfamneef, raaree keessaa na baasi; warra na jibban jalaa, bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baasi.
from sinking down in the mire. Lift me out of the deep deep waters,
15 Ati akka lolaan na hin fudhanne, akka tuujubni na hin liqimsine, akka boollis afaan isaa natti hin cufanne godhi.
that the rushing flood may not drown me, that the deep may not swallow me up, nor the pit close her mouth upon me.
16 Yaa Waaqayyo, gaarummaa jaalala keetiitiin deebii naaf kenni; araara kee guddichaanis natti garagali.
Answer me, Lord, in your gracious kindness, turn to me in your great compassion.
17 Fuula kee tajaajilaa kee duraa hin dhokfatin; waan ani rakkina keessa jiruuf dafiitii deebii naaf kenni.
Hide not your face from your servant, for I am in trouble; O answer me speedily.
18 Natti dhiʼaadhuutii na furi; xiiqii diinota kootiif jedhii na baasi.
Draw near to me, redeem me; because of my enemies, ransom me.
19 Ati akka ani hammam tuffatamee, salphifamee fi akka ani qaaneffame ni beekta; diinonni koo hundinuus fuula koo dura jiru.
You know how I am insulted; in your sight are all my foes.
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.
Insult has broken my heart, past cure are my shame and confusion. For pity I looked – there was none! And for comforters, but I found none.
21 Nyaata kootti hadhooftuu makan; akka ani dhuguuf immoo waan dhangaggaaʼaa naa kennan.
Poison they gave me for food, and to slake my thirst they gave vinegar.
22 Maaddiin isaanii iddaa isaanitti haa taʼu; adabaa fi kiyyoo isaanitti haa taʼu.
May their table, outspread, be a trap to them, and their peace-offerings be a snare.
23 Akka arguu hin dandeenyeef iji isaanii haa haguuggamu; dugdi isaaniis bara baraan haa goophatu.
May their eyes be darkened and blind, make them shake without ceasing.
24 Dheekkamsa kee isaan irratti dhangalaasi; aariin kee bobaʼaan sunis isaan irra haa buʼu.
Pour your indignation upon them, let your burning wrath overtake them.
25 Qeʼeen isaanii haa onu; namni dunkaana isaanii keessa jiraatu tokko iyyuu hin hafin.
May their camp be a desolation, in their tents be there none to live.
26 Isaan warra ati madeessite sana ni ariʼatuutii; waaʼee dhukkubbii warra ati miite sanaas ni odeessu.
For those whom you struck, they persecute, and those whom you wounded, they pain yet more.
27 Yakka irratti yakka isaanitti dabali; isaan gara qajeelumma keetii hin dhufin.
Charge them with sin upon sin, may they not be acquitted by you.
28 Maqaan isaanii kitaaba jireenyaa keessaa haa haqamu; qajeeltota wajjinis hin galmeeffamin.
From the book of life be they blotted, may their names not be written with the righteous.
29 Ani garuu dhiphinaa fi rakkina keessan jira; yaa Waaqi, fayyinni kee ol na haa qabu.
Lift me, O God, by your help above my pain and misery.
30 Ani faarfannaadhaan maqaa Waaqaa nan galateeffadha; galataanis ulfina nan kennaaf.
Then will I praise God in song and magnify him with thanksgiving,
31 Kunis sangaa caalaa, korma gaanfaa fi kottee qabu dhiʼeessuu caalaa Waaqayyoon gammachiisa.
which shall please the Lord better than ox, or than bullock with horns and hoofs.
32 Hiyyeeyyiin waan kana arganii ni gammadu; isin warri Waaqa barbaaddan garaan keessan jiraata haa taʼu!
The oppressed shall rejoice at the sight. You who seek after God, let your heart revive.
33 Waaqayyo rakkattoota ni dhagaʼa; namoota isaa warra hidhamanis hin tuffatu.
For the Lord listens to the poor, he does not despise his prisoners.
34 Samii fi lafti, galaanonnii fi wanni isaan keessa jiraatan hundinuu isa haa leellissan.
Let the heavens and the earth sing his praises, the seas, and all creatures that move in them.
35 Waaqni Xiyoonin ni fayyisaatii; magaalaawwan Yihuudaas deebisee ni ijaara. Sabni isaas achi qubata; ni dhaalas.
For God will bring help to Zion, and build up the cities of Judah, his people shall live there in possession.
36 Sanyiin tajaajiltoota isaa magaalattii ni dhaalu; warri maqaa isaa jaallatanis achi jiraatu.
His servants’ children shall have it for heritage, and those who love him shall live therein.
