Faarfannaa 74
1 Maskiilii Asaaf. Yaa Waaqi, ati maaliif bara baraan nu gatte? Aariin kee maaliif hoolota ati bobbaafte irratti akka malee bobaʼa?
Maschil. Of Asaph. Of God, why have you put us away from you for ever? why is the fire of your wrath smoking against the sheep who are your care?
2 Saba ati dur filatte, gosa dhaala keetii, warra ati furte, Tulluu Xiyoon iddoo ati jiraattes yaadadhu.
Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.
3 Tarkaanfii kee gara waan bara baraan diigameetti qajeelfadhu; diinni waan mana qulqullummaa keessa jiru hunda barbadeesseera.
Go up and see the unending destruction; all the evil which your haters have done in the holy place;
4 Diinonni kee iddoo qulqulluu kee keessatti bookkisan; mallattoo isaaniis mallattoo godhanii dhaabbatan.
Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.
5 Isaan nama bosona keessatti muka muruuf qottoo ol fudhatu fakkaatu.
They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.
6 Isaanis waan soofame hunda, qottoo fi burrusaan caccabsan.
Your doors are broken down with hammers and iron blades.
7 Isaan mana qulqullummaa kee guban; lafa jireenya Maqaa keetiis ni xureessan.
They have put on fire your holy place; they have made the place of your name unclean, pulling it down to the earth.
8 Garaa isaanii keessatti, “Nu guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessina!” jedhan. Iddoo Waaqni biyyattii keessatti itti waaqeffamaa ture hundumas ni guban.
They have said in their hearts, Let us put an end to them all together; they have given over to the fire all God's places of worship in the land.
9 Mallattoon dinqii nuu hin kennamne; siʼachi raajiin tokko illee hin jiru; wanni kun hamma yoomiitti akka turu nu keessaa namni beeku hin jiru.
We do not see our signs: there is no longer any prophet, or anyone among us to say how long.
10 Yaa Waaqi, hamma yoomiitti diinni sitti qoosa? Amajaajiinis bara baraan maqaa kee xureessaa?
O God, how long will those who are against us say cruel things? will the hater go on looking down on your name for ever?
11 Ati maaliif harka kee, harka kee mirgaa dachaafatta? Harka kee bobaa jalaa baafadhuutii isaan barbadeessi!
Why are you keeping back your hand, and covering your right hand in your robe?
12 Yaa Waaqi, ati durumaa jalqabdee mootii koo ti; lafa irrattis hojii fayyinaa hojjetta.
For from the past God is my King, working salvation in the earth.
13 Situ humna keetiin galaana gargar qoode; ati bishaan keessattis mataa bineensa jawwee fakkaatuu caccabsite.
The sea was parted in two by your strength; the heads of the great sea-beasts were broken.
14 Situ mataa Lewaataan caccabsee nyaata godhee uumamawwan gammoojjii jiraataniif kenne.
The heads of the great snake were crushed by you; you gave them as food to the fishes of the sea.
15 Situ burqaawwanii fi bishaan yaaʼuuf karaa bane; ati laga yeroo hunda yaaʼu illee gogsiteerta.
You made valleys for fountains and springs; you made the ever-flowing rivers dry.
16 Guyyaan kan kee ti; halkanis keetuma; ati aduu fi jiʼa uumteerta.
The day is yours and the night is yours: you made the light and the sun.
17 Situ daarii lafaa hunda dhaabe; ati bonaa fi ganna uumteerta.
By you all the limits of the earth were fixed; you have made summer and winter.
18 Yaa Waaqayyo, akkamitti akka diinni sitti qoosu, akkamitti akka namoonni gowwoonnis maqaa kee xureessan yaadadhu.
Keep this in mind, O Lord, that your haters have said cruel things, and that your name has been looked down on by a people of evil behaviour.
19 Lubbuu gugee keetii dabarsitee bineensa bosonaatti hin kennin; jireenya saba kee hiyyoomee bara baraan hin irraanfatin.
O give not the soul of your dove to the hawk; let not the life of the poor go out of your memory for ever.
20 Kakuu kee eegi; iddoon lafaa dukkanaaʼaan hundinuu gooliidhaan guutameeraatii.
Keep in mind your undertaking; for the dark places of the earth are full of pride and cruel acts.
21 Warri cunqurfaman qaanaʼanii duubatti hin deebiʼin; hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoonni maqaa kee haa galateeffatan.
O let not the crushed be turned back in shame; let the low man and the poor give praise to your name.
22 Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; dubbii kees falmadhu; akka gowwoonni guyyaa guutuu sitti qoosan yaadadhu.
Up! O God, be the judge of your cause; keep in mind the bitter things which the man of evil behaviour says against you every day.
23 Dhaadachuu diinota keetii, bookkisuu diina keetii kan gargar hin cinne sana hin dagatin.
Keep in mind the voice of your haters; the outcry of those who come against you goes up every day.
