Faarfannaa 70

1 Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawiti. Yaa Waaqi, na fayyisuuf ariifadhu; yaa Waaqayyo, na gargaaruuf dafii kottu.

For the choirmaster. Of David. To bring remembrance. Make haste, O God, to deliver me! Hurry, O LORD, to help me!

2 Warri lubbuu koo galaafachuu barbaadan hundinuu, haa qaanaʼan; haa burjaajaʼanis; warri badii koo hawwan hundi qaanaʼanii duubatti haa deebiʼan.

May those who seek my life be ashamed and confounded; may those who wish me harm be repelled and humiliated.

3 Warri, “Baga! Baga!” anaan jedhan qaanaʼanii duubatti haa deebiʼan.

May those who say, “Aha, aha!” retreat because of their shame.

4 Warri si barbaadan hundinuu garuu sitti gammadanii haa ililchan; warri fayyisuu kee jaallatan, yeroo hunda, “Waaqni guddaa dha!” haa jedhan.

May all who seek You rejoice and be glad in You; may those who love Your salvation always say, “Let God be magnified!”

5 Ani garuu hiyyeessaa fi rakkataa dha; yaa Waaqi, dafii na qaqqabi. Ati gargaaraa koo fi fayyisaa koo ti; yaa Waaqayyo hin turin.

But I am poor and needy; hurry to me, O God. You are my help and my deliverer; O LORD, do not delay.
