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 Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the Lord about Cush, the Benjamite. Lord my God, I take refuge in you. Deliver me, save me from all who pursue me;
2 yoo kanaa achii isaan yeroo namni na oolchu hin jirretti, akka leencaa na cicciratu; na kukkutatus.
or like lions they will tear me to pieces, and rend me, past hope of rescue.
3 Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, yoo ani waan kana godhee jiraadhe yoo harka koo keessa yakki jiraate,
Lord, my God, if my life has been such if my hands have been stained with guilt,
4 yoo ani nama nagaadhaan na wajjin jiraatutti hamaa hojjedhee jiraadhe, yookaan yoo ani sababii malee diina koo saamee jiraadhe,
if friends I paid back with evil, if I plundered my foes without cause,
5 diinni koo ariʼee na haa qabatu; jireenya koo lafatti haa dhidhiitu; ulfina koos awwaara keessa haa buusu.
may the enemy chase and find me, trample my life to the ground, my honor leave in the dirt! (Selah)
6 Yaa Waaqayyo aarii keetiin kaʼi; dheekkamsa diinota kootti kaʼi. Yaa Waaqa koo anaaf dammaqi; murtii qajeelaa labsi.
Arise, Lord, in anger, against my foes rise in fury. Awake for my help: let justice be done.
7 Yaaʼiin namootaa naannoo keetti walitti haa qabamu; atis ol gubbaadhaa isaan bulchi.
Gather the nations about you, and sit on your lofty throne,
8 Waaqayyo sabootaaf murtii haa kennu. Yaa Waaqayyo, akka qajeelummaa kootiitti, akka amanamummaa kootiittis naa murteessi.
as the Lord, the judge of the peoples. Judge me, Lord, in my innocence and according to my integrity.
9 Yaa Waaqa qajeelaa, kan yaadaa fi garaa namaa qortu, fincila hamootaa balleessi; qajeeltota immoo jabeessii dhaabi.
Put an end to the wrong of the wicked, protect the righteous. Searcher of hearts and minds, righteous God.
10 Gaachanni koo Waaqa; inni gara toleeyyii ni oolcha.
God is my shield: he saves the upright in heart.
11 Waaqni abbaa murtii qajeelaa dha; inni Waaqa guyyaa hunda dheekkamsa isaa mulʼisuu dha.
God is a just judge, constant in righteous anger.
12 Yoo namni qalbii jijjiirrachuu baate, inni goraadee isaa ni qarata; iddaa isaas dabsee qopheeffata.
He will sharpen his sword without fail, his bow is bent and ready,
13 Inni meeshaa nama ajjeesu qopheeffateera; xiyya bobaʼus ni qopheeffata.
his deadly weapons are ready, his arrows he makes of flame.
14 Kunoo, namni hamaan hammina ulfaaʼa; jalʼina garaatti baata; soba dhala.
The enemy who conceives evil; pregnant with mischief, giving birth to lies,
15 Inni gad fageessee boolla qota; boolla qopheesse sana keessas ni buʼa.
a pit they have made and dug; but into the hole that they made they will fall.
16 Dabni isaa matuma isaatti deebiʼa; jalʼinni isaas gubbee mataa isaa irra buʼa.
On their own heads their mischief comes back; on their own skulls their violence comes down.
17 Qajeelummaa isaatiif Waaqayyoon nan galateeffadha; maqaa Waaqayyoo Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis faarfannaadhaan nan jajadha.
I will give thanks to the Lord for his justice, and sing to the name of the Lord Most High.
