Faarfannaa 85

1 Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Ilmaan Qooraahi. Yaa Waaqayyo, ati lafa keetiif arjoomteerta; boojuu Yaaqoobis deebifteerta.

To the Overseer. — By sons of Korah. A Psalm. Thou hast accepted, O Jehovah, Thy land, Thou hast turned [to] the captivity of Jacob.

2 Ati balleessaa uummata keetii dhiifteertaaf; cubbuu isaanii hundumaas dhoksiteerta.

Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. (Selah)

3 Dheekkamsa kee hunda fageessiteerta; aarii kee sodaachisaa sana irraas deebiteerta.

Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back from the fierceness of Thine anger.

4 Yaa Waaqa Fayyisaa keenya, iddoo keenyatti nu deebisi; dheekkamsa kees nurraa qabi.

Turn back [to] us, O God of our salvation, And make void Thine anger with us.

5 Ati bara baraan nutti aartaa? Dheekkamsa kee dhaloota tokko irraa dhaloota kaanitti dabarsitaa?

To the age art Thou angry against us? Dost Thou draw out Thine anger To generation and generation?

6 Akka sabni kee sitti gammaduuf, ati lubbuu nutti hin deebiftuu?

Dost Thou not turn back? Thou revivest us, And Thy people do rejoice in Thee.

7 Yaa Waaqayyo, araara kee nutti mulʼisi; fayyina kees nuu kenni.

Show us, O Jehovah, thy kindness, And Thy salvation Thou dost give to us.

8 Ani waan Waaqayyo Waaqni jedhu nan dhaggeeffadha; inni saba isaa qulqullootaaf nagaa abdachiisa; isaan garuu gara gowwummaatti hin deebiʼin.

I hear what God Jehovah speaketh, For He speaketh peace unto His people, And unto His saints, and they turn not back to folly.

9 Akka ulfinni isaa lafa keenya irra jiraatuuf, fayyisuun isaa dhugumaan warra isa sodaatanitti dhiʼoo jira.

Only, near to those fearing Him [is] His salvation, That honour may dwell in our land.

10 Jaalallii fi amanamummaan wal gaʼan; qajeelummaa fi nagaan wal dhungatan.

Kindness and truth have met, Righteousness and peace have kissed,

11 Amanamummaan lafa keessaa burqa; qajeelummaan immoo samii irraa gad ilaala.

Truth from the earth springeth up, And righteousness from heaven looketh out,

12 Waaqayyo dhugumaan waan gaarii ni kenna; lafti keenyas midhaan ishee ni kenniti.

Jehovah also giveth that which is good, And our land doth give its increase.

13 Qajeelummaan fuula isaa dura deema; miilla isaatiifis karaa qopheessa.

Righteousness before Him goeth, And maketh His footsteps for a way!
