Faarfannaa 76

1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Miʼa Ribuutiin. Faarfannaa Asaaf. Yihuudaa keessatti Waaqni beekamaa dha; maqaan isaas Israaʼel keessatti guddaa dha.

For the end, amongst the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea: his name is great in Israel.

2 Dunkaanni isaa Saalem keessa, iddoon jireenya isaa Xiyoon keessa jira.

And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.

3 Innis achitti xiyya bobaʼuu fi gaachana, goraadee fi meeshaawwan waraanaa caccabse.

There he broke the power of the bows, the shield, and the sword, and the battle. (Pause)

4 Ati ifa uffattee miidhagdeerta; ati tulluuwwan bara baraa caalaa Surra qabeessa.

You do wonderfully shine forth from the everlasting mountains.

5 Gootonni boojiʼamaniiru; hirribaanis fudhatamaniiru; duultota keessaas namni tokko iyyuu harka sochoofachuu hin dandeenye.

All the simple ones in heart were troubled; all the men of wealth have slept their sleep, and have found nothing in their hands.

6 Yaa Waaqa Yaaqoob, ifannaa keetiin fardeenii fi warri fardeen yaabbatan of wallaalaniiru.

At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, the riders on horses slumbered.

7 Siʼi qofatu sodaatamuu qaba. Yommuu ati aartu eenyutu fuula kee dura dhaabachuu dandaʼaa?

You are terrible; and who shall withstand you, because of your anger?

8 Ati samii irraa murtii kennite; laftis ni sodaatte; ni calʼiftes;

You did cause judgement to be heard from heaven; the earth feared, and was still,

9 yaa Waaqi, wanni kunis yommuu ati murtii kennuudhaaf, rakkattoota biyyattii fayyisuuf kaatetti taʼe.

when God arose to judgement, to save all the meek in heart. (Pause)

10 Dheekkamsi ati namatti dheekkamtu dhugumaan ulfina siif fida; warra dheekkamsa kee irraa hafanis ni hidhatta.

For the inward thought of man shall give thanks to you: and the memorial of his inward thought shall keep a feast to you.

11 Waaqayyo Waaqa keessaniif wareegaa; wareegichas guuttadhaa; warri naannoo isaa jiraatan hundinuus Waaqa sodaatamuu qabu sanaaf kennaawwan haa fidan.

Vow, and pay [your vows] to the Lord our God; all that are round about him shall bring gifts, [even] to him that is terrible,

12 Inni hafuura bulchitootaa ni cabsa; mootonni lafaas isa sodaatu.

and that takes away the spirits of princes; to him that is terrible amongst the kings of the earth.
