Faarfannaa 78
1 Maskiilii Asaaf. Yaa saba ko, barsiisa koo dhagaʼaa; dubbii afaan koo dhaggeeffadhaa.
A Psalme to give instruction committed to Asaph. Heare my doctrine, O my people: incline your eares vnto the wordes of my mouth.
2 Ani fakkeenyaan afaan koo nan banadha; waan durumaa jalqabee dhokfames nan dubbadha.
I will open my mouth in a parable: I will declare high sentences of olde.
3 Kunis waanuma nu dhageenyee fi waanuma nu beeknu, waan abbootiin keenya nutti himanii dha.
Which we haue heard and knowen, and our fathers haue tolde vs.
4 Nus waan kana ijoollee isaanii duraa hin dhoksinu; hojii Waaqayyoo ulfina qabeessa sana, humna isaatii fi dinqii inni hojjete, dhaloota itti aanutti ni himna.
Wee will not hide them from their children but to the generation to come we wil shewe the praises of the Lord his power also, and his wonderful woorkes that he hath done:
5 Inni Yaaqoobiif sirna dhaabe; Israaʼeliif immoo seera kenne; waan kana illee akka isaan ijoollee isaanii barsiisaniif, abbootii keenya ajaje;
How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:
6 kunis akka dhaloonni itti aanu beeku, akka ijoolleen amma iyyuu hin dhalatin beekan, isaanis akka ijoollee isaaniitti dabarsanii himaniif.
That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:
7 Yoos isaan Waaqa amanatu; ajaja isaas ni eegu malee hojii isaa hin irraanfatan.
That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:
8 Isaan akka abbootii isaanii, akka dhaloota mata jabeessaa fi fincilaa, warra garaan isaanii Waaqaaf hin ajajamnee, akka warra hafuurri isaanii isaaf hin amanamin sanaa hin taʼan.
And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.
9 Namoonni Efreem xiyya qabatanii turan; taʼus gaafa lolaa duubatti deebiʼan.
The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.
10 Isaan kakuu Waaqaa hin eegne; seera isaattis buluu didan.
They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,
11 Isaan hojii inni hojjete, dinqii inni isaanitti argisiises ni irraanfatan.
And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
12 Inni fuula abbootii isaanii duratti, biyya Gibxi kutaa Zooʼaanitti waan nama dinqisiisu hojjete.
Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the fielde of Zoan.
13 Inni galaana gargar qoodee gidduun isaan dabarse; bishaan sanas akkuma keenyan manaa dhaabachiise.
He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.
14 Guyyaa duumessaan, halkan guutuu immoo ifa ibiddaatiin isaan geggeesse.
In the day time also hee led them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.
15 Inni gammoojjii keessatti kattaa dayyaasee bishaan akka galaanaa baayʼatu isaanii kenne.
He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.
16 Kattaa keessaa burqaa burqisiisee akka bishaan akkuma lagaatti yaaʼu godhe.
He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.
17 Isaan garuu gammoojjii keessatti Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitti fincilan; ittuma fufaniis isatti cubbuu hojjetan.
Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,
18 Isaan nyaata dharraʼanii, “Fidi” jechuudhaan beekumsa Waaqaa qoran.
And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.
19 Akkana jedhanii Waaqa hamatan; “Waaqni gammoojjii keessatti maaddii qopheessuu dandaʼaa?
They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
20 Inni kattaa rukunnaan bishaan humnaan keessaa burqe; burqaan guutee irraan dhangalaʼe. Garuu inni nyaata nuu kennuu dandaʼaa? Saba isaatiifis foon kennuu dandaʼaa?”
Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
21 Waaqayyo yommuu waan kana dhagaʼetti baayʼee aare; Yaaqoob irratti ibiddi isaa ni qabsiifame; dheekkamsi isaas Israaʼelitti dhufe;
Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,
22 isaan Waaqa hin amananneetii; fayyisuu isaattis hin amanne.
Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
23 Inni garuu samii gubbaatiif ajaja kenne; balbala samiis ni bane;
Yet he had comanded the clouds aboue, and had opened the doores of heauen,
24 akka isaan nyaataniif mannaa gad roobseef; midhaan samiis isaaniif kenne.
And had rained downe MAN vpon them for to eate, and had giuen them of the wheate of heauen.
25 Namoonni buddeena ergamoota Waaqayyoo nyaatan; inni waan isaan nyaatanii quufan ergeef.
Man did eate the bread of Angels: hee sent them meate ynough.
26 Inni akka bubbeen baʼa biiftuu samii keessaa bubbisu godhe; bubbee kibbaas humna ofii isaatiin oofe.
He caused the Eastwinde to passe in the heauen, and through his power he brought in the Southwinde.
27 Foon akkuma awwaaraatti, simbirroota barrisanis akkuma cirracha galaanaatti gad isaaniif roobse.
Hee rained flesh also vpon them as dust, and feathered foule as the sand of the sea.
28 Innis akka isaan qubata isaanii keessatti naannoo dunkaanota isaaniitti gad harcaʼan godhe.
And hee made it fall in the middes of their campe euen round about their habitations.
29 Isaanis nyaatanii quufan; inni waan isaan dharraʼan isaaniif kenneeraatii.
So they did eate and were well filled: for he gaue them their desire.
30 Garuu utuu isaan nyaata dharraʼan sana hin quufin, utuma nyaanni sun afaan isaanii keessa jiruu,
They were not turned from their lust, but the meate was yet in their mouthes,
31 dheekkamsi Waaqaa isaanitti dhufe; innis isaan keessaa warra jajjabeeyyii galaafate; dargaggeeyyii Israaʼelis ni fixe.
When the wrath of God came euen vpon them, and slew the strongest of them, and smote downe the chosen men in Israel.
32 Isaan waan kana hunda irra darbanii cubbuu hojjechuutti fufan; dinqii isaattis hin amanne.
For all this, they sinned stil, and beleeued not his wonderous woorkes.
33 Kanaafuu inni akka barri isaanii faayidaa malee darbu, akka waggoonni isaaniis sodaadhaan dhuman godhe.
Therefore their daies did hee consume in vanitie, and their yeeres hastily.
34 Yeroo Waaqni isaan ajjeese kamitti iyyuu, isaan isa barbaaddatan; isaan ammas fedhiidhaan gara isaatti deebiʼan.
And when hee slewe them, they sought him and they returned, and sought God earely.
35 Akka Waaqni Kattaa isaanii taʼe, akka Waaqni Waan Hundaa Olii Furii isaanii taʼe yaadatan.
And they remembred that God was their strength, and the most high God their redeemer.
36 Isaan garuu afaan isaaniitiin isa saadan; arraba isaaniitiinis isa soban;
But they flattered him with their mouth, and dissembled with him with their tongue.
37 garaan isaanii isaaf amanamaa hin turre; isaan kakuu isaatiif hin amanamne.
For their heart was not vpright with him: neither were they faithfull in his couenant.
38 Inni garuu araara qabeessa waan taʼeef, cubbuu isaanii ni dhiiseef malee isaan hin fixne. Inni yeroo yerootti aarii isaa ittifate; dheekkamsa isaa hundaas hin kakaafne.
Yet he being merciful forgaue their iniquitie, and destroied them not, but oft times called backe his anger, and did not stirre vp all his wrath.
39 Innis akka isaan nama duʼa hin oolle, qilleensuma darbu kan deebiʼee hin dhufne taʼan yaadate.
For he remembered that they were flesh: yea, a winde that passeth and commeth not againe.
40 Isaan hammam gammoojjii keessatti isatti fincilanii gammoojjii keessattis isa gaddisiisan
How oft did they prouoke him in the wildernes? and grieue him in the desert?
41 Isaan ammumaa amma Waaqa qoran; Qulqullicha Israaʼel sanas ni aarsan.
Yea, they returned, and tempted God, and limited the Holie one of Israel.
42 Isaan humna isaa yookaan guyyaa inni itti diinota isaanii jalaa isaan baase hin yaadanne.
They remembered not his hand, nor the day when he deliuered them from the enemie,
43 Guyyaa inni itti biyya Gibxi keessatti mallattoo isaa, kutaa Zooʼaan keessatti immoo dinqii isaa argisiise isaan hin yaadanne.
Nor him that set his signes in Egypt, and his wonders in the fielde of Zoan,
44 Inni lageen isaanii dhiigatti geeddare; isaanis burqaawwan isaanii dhuguu hin dandeenye.
And turned their riuers into blood, and their floods, that they could not drinke.
45 Innis tuuta tisiisaa kan isaan balleessu, fattee isaan barbadeessu itti erge.
Hee sent a swarme of flies among them, which deuoured them, and frogs, which destroyed them.
46 Midhaan isaanii ilmaan hawwaannisaatiif, buʼaa dadhabbii isaanii immoo hawwaannisaaf kenne.
He gaue also their fruites vnto the caterpiller, and their labour vnto the grassehopper.
47 Muka wayinii isaanii cabbiidhaan, harbuu isaanii immoo dhaamocha hamaan dhaʼe.
He destroied their vines with haile, and their wilde figge trees with the hailestone.
48 Loon isaanii cabbiif, horii isaanii immoo bakakkaaf dabarsee kenne.
He gaue their cattell also to the haile, and their flockes to the thunderboltes.
49 Inni ergamoota badiisa fidan isaanitti erguudhaan aarii isaa sodaachisaa, dheekkamsa isaa, dallansuu isaatii fi rakkoo isaanitti gad lakkise.
Hee cast vpon them the fiercenesse of his anger, indignation and wrath, and vexation by the sending out of euill Angels.
50 Inni aarii isaatiif daandii qopheesse; lubbuu isaanii dabarsee dhaʼichatti kenne malee duʼa isaan hin oolchine.
He made a way to his anger: he spared not their soule from death, but gaue their life to the pestilence,
51 Hangafoota Gibxi hunda, ilmaan jalqabatti dhalatanis dunkaana Haam keessatti dhaʼe.
And smote al the firstborne in Egypt, euen the beginning of their strength in the tabernacles of Ham.
52 Saba isaa garuu akkuma nama bushaayee bobbaasuutti achii baase; akkuma hoolaas gammoojjii keessa isaan geggeesse.
But hee made his people to goe out like sheepe, and led them in the wildernes like a flocke.
53 Inni nagaadhaan isaan geggeesse; kanaafuu isaan homaa hin sodaanne; diinota isaanii garuu galaanatu liqimse.
Yea, he caried them out safely, and they feared not, and the Sea couered their enemies.
54 Innis gara daarii biyya isaa qulqulluutti, gara biyya gaaraa kan harki isaa mirgaa fudhateetti isaan galche.
And he brought them vnto the borders of his Sanctuarie: euen to this Mountaine, which his right hand purchased.
55 Inni ormoota isaan duraa ariʼe; lafa jaraas dhaala godhee isaanii qoode; gosa Israaʼelis dunkaana isaanii keessa qubachiise.
He cast out the heathe also before them, and caused them to fall to the lot of his inheritance, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles.
56 Isaan garuu Waaqa qoran; Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliitti fincilan; ajaja isaas hin eegne.
Yet they tempted, and prouoked the most high God, and kept not his testimonies,
57 Akkuma abbootii isaanii duubatti deebiʼan; amanamuus ni didan; akka iddaa micciiramaattis jajalʼatan.
But turned backe and delt falsely like their fathers: they turned like a deceitfull bowe.
58 Isaan iddoowwan sagadaa isaanii kanneen gaarran irraatiin isa aarsan; waaqota isaanii tolfamoodhaanis hinaaffaadhaaf isa kakaasan.
And they prouoked him to anger with their high places, and mooued him to wrath with their grauen images.
59 Waaqnis yeroo isaan dhagaʼetti akka malee dheekkame; guutumaan guutuuttis Israaʼelin gate.
God heard this and was wroth, and greatly abhorred Israel,
60 Innis iddoo jireenya isaa kan Shiiloo keessaa, dunkaana inni namoota gidduu dhaabbate sanas ni dhiise.
So that hee forsooke the habitation of Shilo, euen the Tabernacle where hee dwelt among men,
61 Humna isaa boojuutti, ulfina isaa immoo harka diinaatti dabarsee kenne.
And deliuered his power into captiuitie, and his beautie into the enemies hand.
62 Saba isaa dabarsee goraadeef kenne; handhuuraa isaattis akka malee dheekkame.
And hee gaue vp his people to the sworde, and was angrie with his inheritance.
63 Dargaggoota isaanii ibiddatu fixe; durboota isaaniitiifis sirbi heerumaa hin sirbamne;
The fire deuoured their chosen men, and their maides were not praised.
64 luboonni isaanii goraadeedhaan dhuman; niitonni dhirsoonni irraa duʼan immoo booʼuu hin dandeenye.
Their Priestes fell by the sworde, and their widowes lamented not.
65 Gooftaanis akkuma waan hirribaa dammaquutti, akkuma goota sababii wayiniitiin iyyuuttis dammaqe.
But the Lord awaked as one out of sleepe, and as a strong man that after his wine crieth out,
66 Inni diinota isaa rukutee duubatti deebise; qaanii bara baraa keessas isaan buuse.
And smote his enemies in the hinder parts, and put them to a perpetuall shame.
67 Dunkaanota Yoosef ni tuffate; gosa Efreemis hin filanne;
Yet he refused the tabernacle of Ioseph, and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
68 inni garuu gosa Yihuudaa, Tulluu Xiyoon kan jaallatu sana ni filate.
But chose the tribe of Iudah, and mount Zion which he loued.
69 Mana qulqullummaa isaa akka samii ol dheeraatti, akka lafa bara baraan hundeesseettis ijaare.
And he built his Sanctuarie as an high palace, like the earth, which he stablished for euer.
70 Inni Daawit garbicha isaa ni filate; dallaa hoolotaa keessaas isa waammate;
He chose Dauid also his seruant, and tooke him from the shepefolds.
71 akka inni saba isaa Yaaqoobin, handhuuraa isaa Israaʼelin tiksuuf jedhee hoolota tiksuu irraa isa fide.
Euen from behinde the ewes with yong brought he him to feede his people in Iaakob, and his inheritance in Israel.
72 Daawitis garaa qajeelaadhaan isaan tikse; ogummaa harka isaatiinis isaan dura buʼe.
So he fed them according to the simplicitie of his heart, and guided them by the discretion of his hands.
