Faarfannaa 71
1 Yaa Waaqayyo, ani kooluu sitti galeera; ati gonkumaa na hin qaanessin.
A Psalm of David. Of the sons of Jonadab and the former captives. In you, O Lord, I have hoped; do not let me be brought to ruin forever.
2 Qajeelummaa keetiin na baasi; na oolchis; gurra kee gara kootti qabi; na fayyisis.
Free me by your justice, and rescue me. Incline 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 a God of protection and a place of strength for me, so that you may accomplish my salvation. For you are my firmament and my refuge.
4 Yaa Waaqa ko, harka nama hamaa, qabaa nama jalʼaatii fi gara jabeessaa keessaa na baasi.
Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the sinner, and from the hand of the unjust and those who act against the law.
5 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ati abdii kootii; ijoollummaa kootii kaaftees ati Waaqa ani amanadhuu dha.
For you, O Lord, are my patience: my hope from my youth, O Lord.
6 Ani gaafan dhaladhee jalqabee sitti irkadheera; gadameessa haadha koo keessaas situ na baase. Ani yeroo hunda sin galateeffadha.
In you, I have been confirmed from conception. From my mother’s womb, you are my protector. In you, I will sing forever.
7 Ani namoota baayʼeedhaaf mallattoo taʼeera; ati garuu daʼoo koo isa jabaa dha.
I have become to many as if I were a portent, but you are a strong helper.
8 Afaan koo guyyaa guutuu, galataa fi ulfina keetiin guutama.
Let my mouth be filled with praise, so that I may sing your glory, your greatness all day long.
9 Yeroo ani dulloomutti ati na hin gatin; yeroo humni koo dhumuttis na hin dhiisin.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age. Do not abandon me when my strength will fail.
10 Diinonni koo natti mariʼatuutii; warri na ajjeesuuf riphanii eeggatanis walii wajjin natti mariʼatu.
For my enemies have spoken against me. And those who watched for my soul have taken counsel as one,
11 Isaanis, “Waaqni isa dhiiseera; namni isa oolchu tokko iyyuu hin jiruutii faana buʼaatii qabaa” jedhu.
saying: “God has abandoned him. Pursue and overtake him. For there is no one to rescue him.”
12 Yaa Waaqi, narraa hin fagaatin; yaa Waaqa ko, na gargaaruuf dafii kottu.
O God, do not be far from me. O my God, provide for my assistance.
13 Warri na himatan qaanaʼanii haa badan; warri na miidhuu barbaadanis tuffii fi salphina haa uffatan.
May they be confounded, and may they fail, who drag down my soul. Let them be covered with confusion and shame, who seek evils for me.
14 Ani garuu yeroo hundumaa abdii qaba; ittuma caalchisees sin galateeffadha.
But I will always have hope. And I will add more to all 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 announce your justice, your salvation all day long. For I have not known letters.
16 Yaa Waaqayyo Gooftaa, ani dhufee hojii kee humna qabeessa sana nan odeessa; ani qajeelummaa kee qofa labsa.
I will enter into the powers of the Lord. I will be mindful of your justice alone, O Lord.
17 Yaa Waaqi, ati ijoollummaa kootii jalqabdee na barsiifteerta; anis hamma harʼaatti hojii kee dinqisiisaa sana nan labsa.
You have taught me from my youth, O God. And so I will declare your wonders continuously,
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 in old age and with grey hairs. Do not abandon me, O God, while I announce your arm to every future generation: your power
19 Yaa Waaqi, qajeelummaan kee samiiwwan bira gaʼa; ati waan gurguddaa hojjetteerta; yaa Waaqi, kan akka keetii eenyu?
and your justice, O God, even to the highest great things that you have done. O 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.
How great is the tribulation that you have revealed to me: very great and evil. And so, turning back, you have brought me to life, and you have led me back again from the abyss of the earth.
21 Ulfina koo ni guddifta; amma illee na jajjabeessita.
You have multiplied your magnificence. And so, turning back to me, you have consoled me.
22 Yaa Waaqa ko, ani amanamummaa keetiif, kiraaraan sin faarfadha; Yaa Qulqullicha Israaʼel ani kiraaraan faarfannaa galataa siif faarfadha.
Therefore, I will confess your truth to you, with the instruments of the Psalter. O God, I will sing psalms to you with stringed instruments, O Holy One of Israel.
23 Yommuu ani faarfannaa galataa siif faarfadhutti, hidhiin koo, lubbuun koo kan ati furtes guddisanii ni ililchu.
My lips will exult, when I sing to you, and also my soul, which you have redeemed.
24 Warri na miidhuu barbaadan, waan qaanaʼanii burjaajaʼaniif arrabni koo guyyaa guutuu qajeelummaa kee odeessa.
And even my tongue will meditate on your justice all day long, when those who seek evils for me have been confounded and set in awe.
