Faarfannaa 71
1 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani kooluu sitti galeera; ati gonkumaa na hin qaanessin.
In you, LORD, I take refuge. Never let me be disappointed.
2 Qajeelummaa keetiin na baasi; na oolchis; gurra kee gara kootti qabi; na fayyisis.
Deliver me in your righteousness, and rescue me. Turn your ear to me, and save me.
3 Ati kattaa ani kooluu itti galu, iddoo ani yeroo hunda itti baqadhu naa taʼi; ati waan kattaa koo fi daʼoo koo taateef, na baraaruuf ajaja kenni.
Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may always go. Give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Yaa Waaqa ko, harka nama hamaa, qabaa nama jalʼaatii fi gara jabeessaa keessaa na baasi.
Rescue me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man.
5 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati abdii kootii; ijoollummaa kootii kaaftees ati Waaqa ani amanadhuu dha.
For you are my hope, Lord GOD, my confidence from my youth.
6 Ani gaafan dhaladhee jalqabee sitti irkadheera; gadameessa haadha koo keessaas situ na baase. Ani yeroo hunda sin galateeffadha.
I have relied on you from the womb. You are he who took me out of my mother’s womb. I will always praise you.
7 Ani namoota baayʼeedhaaf mallattoo taʼeera; ati garuu daʼoo koo isa jabaa dha.
I am a marvel to many, but you are my strong refuge.
8 Afaan koo guyyaa guutuu, galataa fi ulfina keetiin guutama.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.
9 Yeroo ani dulloomutti ati na hin gatin; yeroo humni koo dhumuttis na hin dhiisin.
Do not reject me in my old age. Do not forsake me when my strength fails.
10 Diinonni koo natti mariʼatuutii; warri na ajjeesuuf riphanii eeggatanis walii wajjin natti mariʼatu.
For my enemies talk about me. Those who watch for my soul conspire together,
11 Isaanis, “Waaqni isa dhiiseera; namni isa oolchu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii faana buʼaatii qabaa” jedhu.
saying, “God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for no one will rescue him.”
12 Yaa Waaqi, narraa hin fagaatin; yaa Waaqa ko, na gargaaruuf dafii kottu.
God, do not be far from me. My God, hurry to help me.
13 Warri na himatan qaanaʼanii haa badan; warri na miidhuu barbaadanis tuffii fi salphina haa uffatan.
Let my accusers be disappointed and consumed. Let them be covered with disgrace and scorn who want to harm me.
14 Ani garuu yeroo hundumaa abdii qaba; ittuma caalchisees sin galateeffadha.
But I will always hope, and will add to all of your praise.
15 Ani yoo hammam akka inni gaʼu beekuu baadhe illee, afaan koo waaʼee qajeelummaa keetiitii fi waaʼee fayyisuu keetii guyyaa guutuu ni odeessa.
My mouth will tell about your righteousness, and of your salvation all day, though I do not know its full measure.
16 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani dhufee hojii kee humna qabeessa sana nan odeessa; ani qajeelummaa kee qofa labsa.
I will come with the mighty acts of the Lord GOD. I will make mention of your righteousness, even of yours alone.
17 Yaa Waaqi, ati ijoollummaa kootii jalqabdee na barsiifteerta; anis hamma harʼaatti hojii kee dinqisiisaa sana nan labsa.
God, you have taught me from my youth. Until now, I have declared your wondrous works.
18 Yaa Waaqayyo, yeroo ani dulloomee mataan koo arrii taʼutti illee, hamma ani humna kee dhaloota kanatti, jabina kees dhaloota dhufuuf jiru hundatti labsuutti, ati na hin dhiisin.
Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, do not forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.
19 Yaa Waaqi, qajeelummaan kee samiiwwan bira gaʼa; ati waan gurguddaa hojjetteerta; yaa Waaqi, kan akka keetii eenyu?
God, your righteousness also reaches to the heavens. You have done great things. God, who is like you?
20 Ati rakkinaa fi dhiphina baayʼee na argisiifteerta; taʼus jireenya koo deebiftee ni haaromsita, qilee lafaa keessaas deebiftee ol na baafta.
You, who have shown us many and bitter troubles, you will let me live. You will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
21 Ulfina koo ni guddifta; amma illee na jajjabeessita.
Increase my honor and comfort me again.
22 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani amanamummaa keetiif, kiraaraan sin faarfadha; Yaa Qulqullicha Israaʼel ani kiraaraan faarfannaa galataa siif faarfadha.
I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God. I sing praises to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel.
23 Yommuu ani faarfannaa galataa siif faarfadhutti, hidhiin koo, lubbuun koo kan ati furtes guddisanii ni ililchu.
My lips shall shout for joy! My soul, which you have redeemed, sings praises to you!
24 Warri na miidhuu barbaadan, waan qaanaʼanii burjaajaʼaniif arrabni koo guyyaa guutuu qajeelummaa kee odeessa.
My tongue will also talk about your righteousness all day long, for they are disappointed, and they are confounded, who want to harm me.
