Faarfannaa 74
1 Maskiilii Asaaf. Yaa Waaqi, ati maaliif bara baraan nu gatte? Aariin kee maaliif hoolota ati bobbaafte irratti akka malee bobaʼa?
An Instructive Psalm. Asaph’s. Wherefore, O God, hast thou cast off utterly? Shall thine anger smoke against the flock of thine own pasturing?
2 Saba ati dur filatte, gosa dhaala keetii, warra ati furte, Tulluu Xiyoon iddoo ati jiraattes yaadadhu.
Remember thine own assembly thou didst acquire aforetime, Thou didst redeem the tribe of thine own inheritance, Mount Zion, wherein thou didst take up thy habitation.
3 Tarkaanfii kee gara waan bara baraan diigameetti qajeelfadhu; diinni waan mana qulqullummaa keessa jiru hunda barbadeesseera.
Lift up thy steps unto the places utterly unsafe, All the mischief!—the foe in the sanctuary!
4 Diinonni kee iddoo qulqulluu kee keessatti bookkisan; mallattoo isaaniis mallattoo godhanii dhaabbatan.
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine appointed meeting, They have set their ensigns as tokens!
5 Isaan nama bosona keessatti muka muruuf qottoo ol fudhatu fakkaatu.
One used to be known according as he carried up high—into the thicket of trees—the axes;
6 Isaanis waan soofame hunda, qottoo fi burrusaan caccabsan.
But, now, the doors thereof all together, with axes and hammers, they batter down.
7 Isaan mana qulqullummaa kee guban; lafa jireenya Maqaa keetiis ni xureessan.
They have cast, into the fire, thy sanctuary, To the ground, have they profaned the habitation of thy Name.
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 heart, Let us suppress them altogether, They have burned up all the meeting-places of GOD 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.
Our own signs, have we not seen, —There is no longer a prophet, —Neither is there with us, one who 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 revile thy Name perpetually?
11 Ati maaliif harka kee, harka kee mirgaa dachaafatta? Harka kee bobaa jalaa baafadhuutii isaan barbadeessi!
Wherefore shouldst thou withdraw thy hand—thy right hand? [Bring it] out of the midst of thy bosom! (Selah)
12 Yaa Waaqi, ati durumaa jalqabdee mootii koo ti; lafa irrattis hojii fayyinaa hojjetta.
But, God, hath been my king from aforetime, Working Deliverances in the midst of the earth.
13 Situ humna keetiin galaana gargar qoode; ati bishaan keessattis mataa bineensa jawwee fakkaatuu caccabsite.
Thou, didst cleave asunder, in thy might, the sea, Thou didst break in pieces the heads of the Crocodiles, [till they floated] on the waters;
14 Situ mataa Lewaataan caccabsee nyaata godhee uumamawwan gammoojjii jiraataniif kenne.
Thou, didst crush the heads of the Sea-Monster, Thou didst give him to be food, for the people of the deserts;
15 Situ burqaawwanii fi bishaan yaaʼuuf karaa bane; ati laga yeroo hunda yaaʼu illee gogsiteerta.
Thou, didst cleave open fountain and torrent, Thou, didst dry up rivers of steady flow:
16 Guyyaan kan kee ti; halkanis keetuma; ati aduu fi jiʼa uumteerta.
Thine, is the day, Yea, thine, the night, Thou, didst establish moon and sun;
17 Situ daarii lafaa hunda dhaabe; ati bonaa fi ganna uumteerta.
Thou, didst set up all the bounds of the earth, As for 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, An enemy, hath reproached Yahweh, Yea, an impious people, have reviled thy Name.
19 Lubbuu gugee keetii dabarsitee bineensa bosonaatti hin kennin; jireenya saba kee hiyyoomee bara baraan hin irraanfatin.
Do not deliver up, to a wild beast, the life of thy turtle-dove, The living host of thine oppressed ones, do not forget perpetually.
20 Kakuu kee eegi; iddoon lafaa dukkanaaʼaan hundinuu gooliidhaan guutameeraatii.
Have respect to thy covenant, For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
21 Warri cunqurfaman qaanaʼanii duubatti hin deebiʼin; hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoonni maqaa kee haa galateeffatan.
May the crushed one not again be confounded, As for the oppressed and the needy, let them praise thy Name.
22 Yaa Waaqi kaʼi; dubbii kees falmadhu; akka gowwoonni guyyaa guutuu sitti qoosan yaadadhu.
Arise! O God, plead thine own cause, Remember the reproach of thee, from the impious one, all the day:
23 Dhaadachuu diinota keetii, bookkisuu diina keetii kan gargar hin cinne sana hin dagatin.
Do not forget the voice of thine adversaries, The noise of thine assailants, ascending continually.
