Faarfannaa 71
1 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani kooluu sitti galeera; ati gonkumaa na hin qaanessin.
In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.
2 Qajeelummaa keetiin na baasi; na oolchis; gurra kee gara kootti qabi; na fayyisis.
In Your justice, rescue and deliver me; incline Your ear 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 my rock of refuge, where I can 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.
Deliver me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and ruthless.
5 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati abdii kootii; ijoollummaa kootii kaaftees ati Waaqa ani amanadhuu dha.
For You are my hope, O 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 leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.
7 Ani namoota baayʼeedhaaf mallattoo taʼeera; ati garuu daʼoo koo isa jabaa dha.
I have become a portent to many, but You are my strong refuge.
8 Afaan koo guyyaa guutuu, galataa fi ulfina keetiin guutama.
My mouth is filled with Your praise and with Your splendor all day long.
9 Yeroo ani dulloomutti ati na hin gatin; yeroo humni koo dhumuttis na hin dhiisin.
Do not discard 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 speak against me, and those who lie in wait for my life conspire,
11 Isaanis, “Waaqni isa dhiiseera; namni isa oolchu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii faana buʼaatii qabaa” jedhu.
saying, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for there is no one to rescue him.”
12 Yaa Waaqi, narraa hin fagaatin; yaa Waaqa ko, na gargaaruuf dafii kottu.
Be not far from me, O God. Hurry, O my God, to help me.
13 Warri na himatan qaanaʼanii haa badan; warri na miidhuu barbaadanis tuffii fi salphina haa uffatan.
May the accusers of my soul be ashamed and consumed; may those who seek my harm be covered with scorn and disgrace.
14 Ani garuu yeroo hundumaa abdii qaba; ittuma caalchisees sin galateeffadha.
But I will always hope and will praise You more and more.
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 declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.
16 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani dhufee hojii kee humna qabeessa sana nan odeessa; ani qajeelummaa kee qofa labsa.
I will enter in the strength of the Lord GOD; I will proclaim Your righteousness—Yours alone.
17 Yaa Waaqi, ati ijoollummaa kootii jalqabdee na barsiifteerta; anis hamma harʼaatti hojii kee dinqisiisaa sana nan labsa.
O God, You have taught me from my youth, and to this day I proclaim Your marvelous deeds.
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.
Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, O God, until I proclaim Your power to the next generation, Your might to all who are to come.
19 Yaa Waaqi, qajeelummaan kee samiiwwan bira gaʼa; ati waan gurguddaa hojjetteerta; yaa Waaqi, kan akka keetii eenyu?
Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?
20 Ati rakkinaa fi dhiphina baayʼee na argisiifteerta; taʼus jireenya koo deebiftee ni haaromsita, qilee lafaa keessaas deebiftee ol na baafta.
Though You have shown me many troubles and misfortunes, You will revive me once again. Even from the depths of the earth You will bring me back up.
21 Ulfina koo ni guddifta; amma illee na jajjabeessita.
You will increase my honor and comfort me once again.
22 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani amanamummaa keetiif, kiraaraan sin faarfadha; Yaa Qulqullicha Israaʼel ani kiraaraan faarfannaa galataa siif faarfadha.
So I will praise You with the harp for Your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praise to You with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Yommuu ani faarfannaa galataa siif faarfadhutti, hidhiin koo, lubbuun koo kan ati furtes guddisanii ni ililchu.
When I sing praise to You my lips will shout for joy, along with my soul, which You have redeemed.
24 Warri na miidhuu barbaadan, waan qaanaʼanii burjaajaʼaniif arrabni koo guyyaa guutuu qajeelummaa kee odeessa.
My tongue will indeed proclaim Your righteousness all day long, for those who seek my harm are disgraced and confounded.
