Faarfannaa 70

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

To him excelleth. A Psalme of David to put in remembrance. O God, haste thee to deliuer mee: make haste to helpe me, O Lord.

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

Let them be confounded and put to shame, that seeke my soule: let them bee turned backewarde and put to rebuke, that desire mine hurt.

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

Let them be turned backe for a rewarde of their shame, which said, Aha, aha.

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

But let all those that seeke thee, be ioyfull and glad in thee, and let all that loue thy saluation, say alwaies, God be praised.

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

Nowe I am poore and needie: O God, make haste to me: thou art mine helper, and my deliuerer: O Lord, make no tarying.
