Faarfannaa 81
1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Asaaf Kan Gitiitiidhaan Faarfatamu. Waaqa jabina nuu taʼeef gammachuudhaan faarfadhaa; Waaqa Yaaqoobiitiif gammachuudhaan ililchaa!
To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;
2 Faarfachuu jalqabaa; dibbees rukutaa; baganaa fi kiraara sagalee gaarii qabu rukutaa.
Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
3 Yeroo Baatiin dhalattu, yommuu jiʼi goobanutti, guyyaa ayyaana keenyaa malakata afuufaa;
Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
4 kun seera Israaʼeliif kenname, ajaja Waaqa Yaaqoob.
For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;
5 Inni yeroo biyya Gibxi dhaʼuuf baʼetti, waan kana Yoosefiif seera godhee dhaabe. Anis afaan duraan hin beekin tokko dhagaʼe.
He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
6 Innis akkana jedhe; “Ani gatiittii isaanii irraa baʼaa buuseera; harki isaanis guuboo baachuu jalaa baʼe.
I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
7 Ati dhiphina kee keessatti na waammatte; anis sin oolche; anis lafa bakakkaan itti dhokatu keessaa deebii siifin kenne; bishaan Mariibaa birattis sin qore.
Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
8 “Yaa saba koo dhagaʼi; ani siin akeekkachiisa; yaa Israaʼel ati utuu na dhaggeeffate!
Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
9 Waaqni ormaa tokko iyyuu isin gidduu hin jiraatin; ana malee waaqa biraa hin waaqeffatin.
There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
10 Ani Waaqayyo Waaqa kee, kan Gibxii baasee isin fidee dha. Afaan kee balʼisii banadhu; ani nan guutaa.
I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
11 “Sabni koo garuu na hin dhaggeeffanne; Israaʼel anaaf hin bulle.
But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
12 Kanaafuu ani akka isaan karaa fedhii isaanii deemaniif dabarsee mata jabina isaaniitti isaan kenne.
So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.
13 “Utuu sabni koo na dhaggeeffatee, utuu Israaʼel karaa koo irra deemee jiraatee,
Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!
14 ani silaa akkam dafee diinota isaanii jilbeenfachiisee harka koos amajaajota isaaniitti nan kaasa ture!
I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15 Warri Waaqayyoon jibban fuula isaa duratti ni gugguufu; adabbiin isaaniis bara baraan itti fufa.
The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.
16 Ani garuu qamadii qulqulluu isin soora; damma kattaa keessaa baafames isinan quubsa.”
And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.
