Faarfannaa 69
1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Daraaraatiin.” Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, ati na baasi; bishaan ol dhufee morma na gaʼeeraatii.
For the chief musician; set to Shoshannim. A psalm of David. Save me, God; for the waters have put my life in danger.
2 Ani raaree keessa, lafa iddoon miilla dhaabatan hin jirre keessa seeneera. Ani tuujuba bishaanii keessa seeneera; lolaanis narra garagaleera.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no place to stand; I have come into deep waters, where the floods flow over me.
3 Ani iyyuudhaan dadhabeera; laagaan koo babbaqaqeera; iji koo, Waaqa koo eeggachuudhaan dadhabeera.
I am weary with my crying; my throat is dry; my eyes fail while I wait 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.
Those who hate me without a cause are more than the hairs on my head; those who would cut me off, being my enemies for wrong reasons, are mighty; what I did not steal, I have to give back.
5 Yaa Waaqi, ati gowwummaa koo ni beekta; yakki koos si duraa hin dhokatu.
God, you know my foolishness, and my sins are 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.
Let not those who hope in you be put to shame because of me, Lord Yahweh of hosts; let not those who seek you be brought to dishonor because of me, God of Israel.
7 Ani siif jedhee tuffii obseeraatii; qaaniinis fuula koo haguugeera.
For your sake I have borne rebuke; shame has covered my face.
8 Ani obboloota kootti keessummaa, ilmaan haadha kootiittis alagaa dha;
I have become a stranger to my brothers, an alien to my mother's children.
9 Hinaaffaan mana keetii na guggubeeraatii; arrabsoon warra si arrabsaniis narra buʼeera.
For the zeal of your house has eaten me up, and the rebukes of those who rebuke you have fallen on me.
10 Booʼuu fi soomuun koo, arrabsoo natti taʼe.
When I wept and did not eat food, they insulted me.
11 Yommuu ani wayyaa gaddaa uffadhetti, namoonni natti qoosu.
When I made sackcloth my clothing, I became the object of a proverb to them.
12 Warri karra dura tataaʼan natti qoosu; machooftonnis waaʼee kootiin sirbu.
Those who sit in the city gate talk about me; I am a song of drunkards.
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, my prayer is to you, Yahweh, at a time that you will accept; answer me in the trustworthiness of your salvation.
14 Akka ani hin liqimfamneef, raaree keessaa na baasi; warra na jibban jalaa, bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baasi.
Pull me out of the mire, and do not let me sink; let me be taken away from those who hate me and rescued out of the deep waters.
15 Ati akka lolaan na hin fudhanne, akka tuujubni na hin liqimsine, akka boollis afaan isaa natti hin cufanne godhi.
Do not let the floods of water overwhelm me, neither let the deep swallow me up. Do not let the pit shut its mouth on me.
16 Yaa Waaqayyo, gaarummaa jaalala keetiitiin deebii naaf kenni; araara kee guddichaanis natti garagali.
Answer me, Yahweh, for your covenant faithfulness is good; because your mercies for me are many, turn to me.
17 Fuula kee tajaajilaa kee duraa hin dhokfatin; waan ani rakkina keessa jiruuf dafiitii deebii naaf kenni.
Do not hide your face from your servant, for I am in distress; answer me quickly.
18 Natti dhiʼaadhuutii na furi; xiiqii diinota kootiif jedhii na baasi.
Come to me and 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 my rebuke, my shame, and my dishonor; my adversaries are all before you.
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.
Rebuke has broken my heart; I am full of heaviness; I looked for someone to take pity, but there was none; I looked for comforters, but I found none.
21 Nyaata kootti hadhooftuu makan; akka ani dhuguuf immoo waan dhangaggaaʼaa naa kennan.
They gave me poison for my food; in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Maaddiin isaanii iddaa isaanitti haa taʼu; adabaa fi kiyyoo isaanitti haa taʼu.
Let their table before them become a snare; when they think they are in safety, let it become a trap.
23 Akka arguu hin dandeenyeef iji isaanii haa haguuggamu; dugdi isaaniis bara baraan haa goophatu.
Let their eyes be darkened so that they cannot see; and always make their loins shake.
24 Dheekkamsa kee isaan irratti dhangalaasi; aariin kee bobaʼaan sunis isaan irra haa buʼu.
Pour out your indignation on them, and let the fierceness of your anger overtake them.
25 Qeʼeen isaanii haa onu; namni dunkaana isaanii keessa jiraatu tokko iyyuu hin hafin.
Let their place be a desolation; let no one live in their tents.
26 Isaan warra ati madeessite sana ni ariʼatuutii; waaʼee dhukkubbii warra ati miite sanaas ni odeessu.
For they persecuted the one you struck down. They repeated the account of the pain of those you have wounded.
27 Yakka irratti yakka isaanitti dabali; isaan gara qajeelumma keetii hin dhufin.
Accuse them of having committed iniquity after iniquity; do not let them come into your righteous victory.
28 Maqaan isaanii kitaaba jireenyaa keessaa haa haqamu; qajeeltota wajjinis hin galmeeffamin.
Let them be blotted out of the Book of Life and not be written down along with the righteous.
29 Ani garuu dhiphinaa fi rakkina keessan jira; yaa Waaqi, fayyinni kee ol na haa qabu.
But I am poor and sorrowful; let your salvation, 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 a song and will exalt him with thanksgiving.
31 Kunis sangaa caalaa, korma gaanfaa fi kottee qabu dhiʼeessuu caalaa Waaqayyoon gammachiisa.
That will please Yahweh better than an ox or a bull that has horns and hooves.
32 Hiyyeeyyiin waan kana arganii ni gammadu; isin warri Waaqa barbaaddan garaan keessan jiraata haa taʼu!
The meek have seen it and are glad; you who seek after God, let your hearts live.
33 Waaqayyo rakkattoota ni dhagaʼa; namoota isaa warra hidhamanis hin tuffatu.
For Yahweh hears the needy and does not despise his prisoners.
34 Samii fi lafti, galaanonnii fi wanni isaan keessa jiraatan hundinuu isa haa leellissan.
Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and everything that moves in them.
35 Waaqni Xiyoonin ni fayyisaatii; magaalaawwan Yihuudaas deebisee ni ijaara. Sabni isaas achi qubata; ni dhaalas.
For God will save Zion and will rebuild the cities of Judah; the people will live there and have it as a possession.
36 Sanyiin tajaajiltoota isaa magaalattii ni dhaalu; warri maqaa isaa jaallatanis achi jiraatu.
His servants' descendants will inherit it; and those who love his name will live there.
