Faarfannaa 80
1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo, “Daraaraa Kakuutiin” Faarfatame. Faarfannaa Asaaf. Yaa tiksee saba Israaʼel, kan akkuma bushaayeetti Yoosefin geggeessitu nu dhagaʼi; ati kan kiirubeel gidduu teessoo irra teessu, ifiitii mulʼadhu.
[Yahweh], you [who lead us like] a shepherd leads his flock [of sheep], listen to us Israeli people. You sit on your throne [in the Very Holy Place in the temple], above the [carvings of] winged creatures.
2 Fuula Efreem, Beniyaamii fi Minaasee duratti humna kee sochoosi; kottuutii nu fayyisi.
Show yourself to [the people of the tribes of] Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh! Show us that you are powerful and come and rescue us!
3 Yaa Waaqi, iddoo keenyatti nu deebisi; akka fayyinuufis fuula kee nurratti ibsi.
God, cause our nation to be strong like it was before; be kind to us [IDM] in order that we may be saved [from our enemies.]
4 Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandeessu, ati hamma yoomiitti kadhannaa saba keetiitti aarta?
Yahweh, you who are the commander of the armies of heaven, how long will you be angry with us, your people, when we pray to you?
5 Ati buddeena imimmaanii isaan nyaachifte; imimmaan waciitii guutuus isaan obaafte.
[It is as though] the only food and drink that you have given us is a cup full of our tears!
6 Ati akka olloonni keenya nu tuffatan goote; diinonni keenyas nutti qoosu.
You have allowed the people-groups that surround us to fight with [each other to decide which part of our land each of them will take]; our enemies laugh at us.
7 Yaa Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandeessu, iddoo keenyatti nu deebisi; akka nu fayyinuufis fuula kee nurratti ibsi.
God, commander of the armies of heaven, cause our nation to be strong like it was before! Be kind to us in order that we may be saved!
8 Ati muka wayinii biyya Gibxii buqqiftee fidde; ormootas ariitee muka sana dhaabde.
[Our ancestors were like] a grapevine [MET] that you brought out of Egypt; you expelled the other people-groups [from this land], and you put your people in their land.
9 Mukichaafis lafa qopheessite; mukni sunis hidda gad fageeffatee biyyattii guute.
[Like people] clear ground to plant a grapevine [MET], [you cleared out the people who were living in this land for us to live in it]. [Like] the roots of a grapevine go deep down into the ground and spread [MET], [you enabled our ancestors to prosper and start living in towns all over this land].
10 Tulluuwwan gaaddisa isaatiin, birbirsawwan gurguddaanis dameewwan isaatiin haguugaman.
[Like huge] grapevines cover the hills with their shade and their branches are taller than big cedar [trees] [MET, HYP],
11 Innis dameewwan isaa gara Galaanaatti, lata isaas hamma Lagaatti diriirfate.
[your people ruled all of Canaan], from the [Mediterranean] Sea [in the west] to the [Euphrates] River [in the east].
12 Yoos ati maaliif akka namni achiin darbu hundinuu ija isaa ciratu gochuuf jettee dallaa isaa diigde ree?
So why have you abandoned us and [allowed our enemies to] tear down our walls [RHQ]? [You are like] someone who tears down the fences [around his vineyard], with the result that all [the people] who pass by [can] steal the grapes,
13 Kormi booyyee bosona keessaa baʼee isa ni balleessa; bineensi dirrees isa ni nyaata.
and wild pigs [can] trample [the vines], and wild animals [can also] eat [the grapes].
14 Yaa Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandeessu, si kadhannaa gara keenyatti deebiʼi! Samii irraa gad ilaalii argi! Muka wayinii kana eegi;
You who are the commander of the armies of heaven, (turn to/stop abandoning) us! Look down from heaven and see [what is happening to] us! Come and rescue [us who are like] [MET] your grapevine,
15 mukni kun muka wayinii kan harki kee mirgaa dhaabee dha; biqiltuu ati ofii keetiif guddifattee dha.
who are [like] the young vine that you [SYN] planted and caused to grow!
16 Wayiniin kee ciramee ibiddaan gubameera; sabni kees dheekkamsa keetiin bada.
Our enemies have torn down and burned everything in our land; look at them angrily and get rid of them!
17 Harki kee namicha karaa harka kee mirgaa jiru irra, ilma namaa kan ati ofii keetiif guddifatte irra haa boqotu.
But strengthen [us] people whom you have chosen [IDM], [us] Israeli people whom you [previously] caused to be very strong.
18 Yoos nu sirraa hin garagallu; jireenya nuu kenni; nus maqaa kee ni waammannaa.
When you do that, we will never turn away from you again; (revive us/cause us to be again like we were previously), and [then] we will praise/worship you.
19 Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa Waan Hunda Dandeessu iddoo keenyatti nu deebisi; akka nu fayyinuufis fuula kee nurratti ibsi.
Yahweh, commander of the armies of heaven, restore us; be kind to us in order that we may be rescued [from our enemies]!
