Faarfannaa 7
1 Shiigaayoonni Daawit kan inni waaʼee Kuushi namicha gosa Beniyaamiif jedhee Waaqayyoof faarfate. Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, ani kooluu sitti nan gala; warra na ariʼatan hunda jalaa na baasi; na oolchis;
A Psalm of David, which he sang to the Lord because of the words of Cush, the son of Jemini. O Lord, my God, in you I have hoped. Save me from all those who persecute me, and free me:
2 yoo kanaa achii isaan yeroo namni na oolchu hin jirretti, akka leencaa na cicciratu; na kukkutatus.
lest at any time, like a lion, he might seize my soul, while there is no one to redeem me, nor any who can save.
3 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, yoo ani waan kana godhee jiraadhe yoo harka koo keessa yakki jiraate,
O Lord, my God, if there is iniquity in my hands, if I have done this:
4 yoo ani nama nagaadhaan na wajjin jiraatutti hamaa hojjedhee jiraadhe, yookaan yoo ani sababii malee diina koo saamee jiraadhe,
if I have repaid those who rendered evils to me, may I deservedly fall away empty before my enemies:
5 diinni koo ariʼee na haa qabatu; jireenya koo lafatti haa dhidhiitu; ulfina koos awwaara keessa haa buusu.
let the enemy pursue my soul, and take hold of it, and trample my life into the earth, and drag down my glory into the dust. (Pause)
6 Yaa Waaqayyo aarii keetiin kaʼi; dheekkamsa diinota kootti kaʼi. Yaa Waaqa koo anaaf dammaqi; murtii qajeelaa labsi.
Rise up, Lord, in your anger. And be exalted to the borders of my enemies. And rise up, O Lord my God, according to the precept that you commanded,
7 Yaaʼiin namootaa naannoo keetti walitti haa qabamu; atis ol gubbaadhaa isaan bulchi.
and a congregation of people will surround you. And, because of this, return on high.
8 Waaqayyo sabootaaf murtii haa kennu. Yaa Waaqayyo, akka qajeelummaa kootiitti, akka amanamummaa kootiittis naa murteessi.
The Lord judges the people. Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice and according to my innocence within me.
9 Yaa Waaqa qajeelaa, kan yaadaa fi garaa namaa qortu, fincila hamootaa balleessi; qajeeltota immoo jabeessii dhaabi.
The wickedness of sinners will be consumed, and you will direct the just: the examiner of hearts and temperaments is God.
10 Gaachanni koo Waaqa; inni gara toleeyyii ni oolcha.
Just is my help from the Lord, who saves the upright of heart.
11 Waaqni abbaa murtii qajeelaa dha; inni Waaqa guyyaa hunda dheekkamsa isaa mulʼisuu dha.
God is a just judge, strong and patient. How could he be angry throughout every day?
12 Yoo namni qalbii jijjiirrachuu baate, inni goraadee isaa ni qarata; iddaa isaas dabsee qopheeffata.
Unless you will be converted, he will brandish his sword. He has extended his bow and made it ready.
13 Inni meeshaa nama ajjeesu qopheeffateera; xiyya bobaʼus ni qopheeffata.
And with it, he has prepared instruments of death. He has produced his arrows for those on fire.
14 Kunoo, namni hamaan hammina ulfaaʼa; jalʼina garaatti baata; soba dhala.
Behold him who has given birth to injustice: he has conceived sorrow and has begotten iniquity.
15 Inni gad fageessee boolla qota; boolla qopheesse sana keessas ni buʼa.
He has opened a pit and enlarged it. And he has fallen into the hole that he made.
16 Dabni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa; jalʼinni isaas gubbee mataa isaa irra buʼa.
His sorrow will be turned upon his own head, and his iniquity will descend upon his highest point.
17 Qajeelummaa isaatiif Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; maqaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis faarfannaadhaan nan jajadha.
I will confess to the Lord according to his justice, and I will sing a psalm to the name of the Lord Most High.
