Faarfannaa 74
1 Maskiilii Asaaf. Yaa Waaqi, ati maaliif bara baraan nu gatte? Aariin kee maaliif hoolota ati bobbaafte irratti akka malee bobaʼa?
An instruction: of Asaph. Why, O God, hast thou cast off for ever? [why] doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Saba ati dur filatte, gosa dhaala keetii, warra ati furte, Tulluu Xiyoon iddoo ati jiraattes yaadadhu.
Remember thine assembly, which thou hast purchased of old, which thou hast redeemed [to be] the portion of thine inheritance, this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 Tarkaanfii kee gara waan bara baraan diigameetti qajeelfadhu; diinni waan mana qulqullummaa keessa jiru hunda barbadeesseera.
Lift up thy steps unto the perpetual desolations: everything in the sanctuary hath the enemy destroyed.
4 Diinonni kee iddoo qulqulluu kee keessatti bookkisan; mallattoo isaaniis mallattoo godhanii dhaabbatan.
Thine adversaries roar in the midst of thy place of assembly; they set up their signs [for] signs.
5 Isaan nama bosona keessatti muka muruuf qottoo ol fudhatu fakkaatu.
[A man] was known as he could lift up axes in the thicket of trees;
6 Isaanis waan soofame hunda, qottoo fi burrusaan caccabsan.
And now they break down its carved work altogether, with hatchets and hammers.
7 Isaan mana qulqullummaa kee guban; lafa jireenya Maqaa keetiis ni xureessan.
They have set on fire thy sanctuary, they have profaned the habitation of thy name to the ground.
8 Garaa isaanii keessatti, “Nu guutumaan guutuutti isaan barbadeessina!” jedhan. Iddoo Waaqni biyyattii keessatti itti waaqeffamaa ture hundumas ni guban.
They said in their heart, Let us destroy them together: they have burned up all God's places of assembly 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 see not our signs; there is no more any prophet, neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
10 Yaa Waaqi, hamma yoomiitti diinni sitti qoosa? Amajaajiinis bara baraan maqaa kee xureessaa?
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy contemn thy name for ever?
11 Ati maaliif harka kee, harka kee mirgaa dachaafatta? Harka kee bobaa jalaa baafadhuutii isaan barbadeessi!
Why withdrawest thou thy hand, and thy right hand? [pluck it] out of thy bosom: consume [them].
12 Yaa Waaqi, ati durumaa jalqabdee mootii koo ti; lafa irrattis hojii fayyinaa hojjetta.
But God is my king of old, accomplishing deliverances in the midst of the earth.
13 Situ humna keetiin galaana gargar qoode; ati bishaan keessattis mataa bineensa jawwee fakkaatuu caccabsite.
Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength; thou didst break the heads of the monsters on the waters:
14 Situ mataa Lewaataan caccabsee nyaata godhee uumamawwan gammoojjii jiraataniif kenne.
Thou didst break in pieces the heads of leviathan, thou gavest him to be meat to those that people the desert.
15 Situ burqaawwanii fi bishaan yaaʼuuf karaa bane; ati laga yeroo hunda yaaʼu illee gogsiteerta.
Thou didst cleave fountain and torrent, thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
16 Guyyaan kan kee ti; halkanis keetuma; ati aduu fi jiʼa uumteerta.
The day is thine, the night also is thine; thou hast prepared the moon and the sun:
17 Situ daarii lafaa hunda dhaabe; ati bonaa fi ganna uumteerta.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; summer and winter — thou didst form them.
18 Yaa Waaqayyo, akkamitti akka diinni sitti qoosu, akkamitti akka namoonni gowwoonnis maqaa kee xureessan yaadadhu.
Remember this, that an enemy hath reproached Jehovah, and a foolish people have contemned thy name.
19 Lubbuu gugee keetii dabarsitee bineensa bosonaatti hin kennin; jireenya saba kee hiyyoomee bara baraan hin irraanfatin.
Give not up the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the troop of thine afflicted for ever.
20 Kakuu kee eegi; iddoon lafaa dukkanaaʼaan hundinuu gooliidhaan guutameeraatii.
Have respect unto the covenant; for the dark places of the earth are full of the dwellings of violence.
21 Warri cunqurfaman qaanaʼanii duubatti hin deebiʼin; hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoonni maqaa kee haa galateeffatan.
Oh let not the oppressed one return ashamed; let the afflicted and needy praise thy name.
22 Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; dubbii kees falmadhu; akka gowwoonni guyyaa guutuu sitti qoosan yaadadhu.
Rise up, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day;
23 Dhaadachuu diinota keetii, bookkisuu diina keetii kan gargar hin cinne sana hin dagatin.
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: the tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
