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 Jehovah, on account of the reproaches of Cush the Benjamite.” O Jehovah, my God! to thee do I look for help; Save me from them that persecute me, and deliver me!
2 yoo kanaa achii isaan yeroo namni na oolchu hin jirretti, akka leencaa na cicciratu; na kukkutatus.
Lest mine enemy tear me like a lion; Lest he rend me in pieces, while there is none to help.
3 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, yoo ani waan kana godhee jiraadhe yoo harka koo keessa yakki jiraate,
O Jehovah, my God! if I have done this, —If there be iniquity upon my hands,
4 yoo ani nama nagaadhaan na wajjin jiraatutti hamaa hojjedhee jiraadhe, yookaan yoo ani sababii malee diina koo saamee jiraadhe,
If I have rendered evil to my friend, Or have despoiled him that without cause is mine enemy, —
5 diinni koo ariʼee na haa qabatu; jireenya koo lafatti haa dhidhiitu; ulfina koos awwaara keessa haa buusu.
Let my adversary pursue and take me; Let him trample me to the ground, And lay me prostrate in the dust! (Pause)
6 Yaa Waaqayyo aarii keetiin kaʼi; dheekkamsa diinota kootti kaʼi. Yaa Waaqa koo anaaf dammaqi; murtii qajeelaa labsi.
Arise, O LORD! in thine anger; Lift thyself up against the rage of mine enemies; Awake for me, ordain judgment!
7 Yaaʼiin namootaa naannoo keetti walitti haa qabamu; atis ol gubbaadhaa isaan bulchi.
Let the assembly of the nations compass thee about, And on their account return to the height!
8 Waaqayyo sabootaaf murtii haa kennu. Yaa Waaqayyo, akka qajeelummaa kootiitti, akka amanamummaa kootiittis naa murteessi.
The LORD judgeth the nations; Judge me, O LORD! according to my righteousness, And requite me according to my integrity!
9 Yaa Waaqa qajeelaa, kan yaadaa fi garaa namaa qortu, fincila hamootaa balleessi; qajeeltota immoo jabeessii dhaabi.
Oh, let the wickedness of the wicked be at an end; But establish the righteous! For the righteous God trieth the heart and the reins.
10 Gaachanni koo Waaqa; inni gara toleeyyii ni oolcha.
My shield is with God, Who saveth the upright in heart.
11 Waaqni abbaa murtii qajeelaa dha; inni Waaqa guyyaa hunda dheekkamsa isaa mulʼisuu dha.
God is a righteous judge, And a God who is angry every day.
12 Yoo namni qalbii jijjiirrachuu baate, inni goraadee isaa ni qarata; iddaa isaas dabsee qopheeffata.
If he do not desist, He sharpeneth his sword; He bendeth his bow, and maketh it ready;
13 Inni meeshaa nama ajjeesu qopheeffateera; xiyya bobaʼus ni qopheeffata.
He prepareth for him the instruments of death; He shooteth his burning arrows.
14 Kunoo, namni hamaan hammina ulfaaʼa; jalʼina garaatti baata; soba dhala.
Behold, he travailed with iniquity, And conceived mischief, But hath brought forth disappointment!
15 Inni gad fageessee boolla qota; boolla qopheesse sana keessas ni buʼa.
He made a pit and digged it. And is fallen into the ditch which he made.
16 Dabni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa; jalʼinni isaas gubbee mataa isaa irra buʼa.
His mischief returneth upon his own head, And his violence cometh down upon his own skull.
17 Qajeelummaa isaatiif Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; maqaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis faarfannaadhaan nan jajadha.
I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness; I will sing praise to the name of the LORD most high.
