Faarfannaa 90
1 Kadhannaa Musee Nama Waaqaa Sanaa. Yaa Gooftaa, ati dhaloota hunda keessatti iddoo jireenyaa nuu taateerta.
“BOOK IV. A prayer of Moses, the man of God.” LORD! thou hast been our dwelling-place In all generations!
2 Utuu tulluuwwan hin dhalatin yookaan utuu ati lafaa fi addunyaa hin uumin, baraa baraa hamma bara baraatti ati Waaqa.
Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting thou art God!
3 Atis, “Yaa ilmaan namootaa, biyyootti deebiʼaa” jettee namoota biyyootti deebista.
But man thou turnest again to dust, And sayst, “Return, ye children of men!”
4 Fuula kee duratti waggaan kumni tokko, akkuma guyyaa kaleessa darbee ti; yookaan akkuma dabaree eegumsa halkanii tokkoo ti.
For a thousand years are, in thy sight, As yesterday when it is past, And as a watch in the night.
5 Ati hirriba duʼaatiin namoota haxooftee balleessita; isaan akkuma marga ganama bayyanatuu ti;
Thou carriest him away as with a flood; He is a dream; In the morning he springeth up like grass,
6 margi sun ganama ganama bayyanatu illee galgala galgala garuu coollagee goga.
Which flourisheth and shooteth up in the morning, And in the evening is cut down, and withered.
7 Aariin kee nu fixeera; dheekkamsi kees nu naasiseera.
For we are consumed by thine anger, And by thy wrath are we destroyed.
8 Yakka keenya fuula kee dura, cubbuu keenya dhokataa sanas ifa fuula keetii dura keesseerta.
Thou settest our iniquities before thee, Our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 Barri keenya hundinuu dheekkamsa keetiin dhumeeraatii; umurii keenyas aaduudhaan fixanna.
By reason of thine anger all our days vanish away; We spend our years like a thought.
10 Dheerinni bara keenyaa waggaa torbaatama, yoo jabaanne immoo waggaa saddeettama taʼa; kuni iyyuu garri caalaan isaa dadhabbii fi rakkinaan guutameera; inni dafee darbaatii; nus barrifnee ni sokkina.
The days of our life are threescore years and ten, And, by reason of strength, may be fourscore years: Yet is the pride of them weariness and sorrow; For it vanisheth swiftly, and we fly away.
11 Humna aarii keetii eenyutu beeka? Dheekkamsi kee akkuma sodaa nu siif qabaachuu qabnu sanaa guddaadhaatii.
Yet who attendeth to the power of thine anger? Who with due reverence regardeth thine indignation?
12 Akka nu garaa ogummaadhaan guutame qabaannuuf, bara keenya lakkaaʼuu nu barsiisi.
Teach us so to number our days, That we may apply our hearts to wisdom!
13 Yaa Waaqayyo, deebiʼi! Kun hamma yoomiitti taʼa? Tajaajiltoota keetiifis garaa laafi.
Desist, O LORD! How long—? Have compassion upon thy servants!
14 Akka nu bara keenya guutuu gammannee ililchinuuf, ganama ganama araara keetiin nu quufsi.
Satisfy us speedily with thy mercy, That we may rejoice and be glad all our days!
15 Hamma baayʼina guyyoota ati nu miite sanaa, hamma baayʼina waggoota nu rakkanne sanaas nu gammachiisi.
Make us glad according to the time in which thou hast afflicted us; According to the years in which we have seen adversity!
16 Hojiin kee tajaajiltoota keetti, ulfinni kees ijoollee isaaniitti haa mulʼifamu.
Let thy deeds be known to thy servants, And thy glory to their children!
17 Eebbi Waaqa keenya Gooftichaa nurra haa buʼu; hojii harka keenyaas jabeessii nuu dhaabi; eeyyee, hojii harka keenyaa jabeessii nuu dhaabi.
Let the favor of the LORD our God be upon us, And establish for us the work of our hands; Yea, the work of our hands, establish thou it!
