Faarfannaa 90
1 Kadhannaa Musee Nama Waaqaa Sanaa. Yaa Gooftaa, ati dhaloota hunda keessatti iddoo jireenyaa nuu taateerta.
A Prayer of Moses, the man of God. Lord, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
2 Utuu tulluuwwan hin dhalatin yookaan utuu ati lafaa fi addunyaa hin uumin, baraa baraa hamma bara baraatti ati Waaqa.
Before mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
3 Atis, “Yaa ilmaan namootaa, biyyootti deebiʼaa” jettee namoota biyyootti deebista.
Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons 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 in Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
5 Ati hirriba duʼaatiin namoota haxooftee balleessita; isaan akkuma marga ganama bayyanatuu ti;
Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
6 margi sun ganama ganama bayyanatu illee galgala galgala garuu coollagee goga.
In the morning it flourisheth, and hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
7 Aariin kee nu fixeera; dheekkamsi kees nu naasiseera.
For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been troubled.
8 Yakka keenya fuula kee dura, cubbuu keenya dhokataa sanas ifa fuula keetii dura keesseerta.
Thou hast set our iniquities before Thee, Our hidden things at the light of Thy face,
9 Barri keenya hundinuu dheekkamsa keetiin dhumeeraatii; umurii keenyas aaduudhaan fixanna.
For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
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.
Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, and we fly away.
11 Humna aarii keetii eenyutu beeka? Dheekkamsi kee akkuma sodaa nu siif qabaachuu qabnu sanaa guddaadhaatii.
Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
12 Akka nu garaa ogummaadhaan guutame qabaannuuf, bara keenya lakkaaʼuu nu barsiisi.
To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
13 Yaa Waaqayyo, deebiʼi! Kun hamma yoomiitti taʼa? Tajaajiltoota keetiifis garaa laafi.
Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent concerning Thy servants.
14 Akka nu bara keenya guutuu gammannee ililchinuuf, ganama ganama araara keetiin nu quufsi.
Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice all our days.
15 Hamma baayʼina guyyoota ati nu miite sanaa, hamma baayʼina waggoota nu rakkanne sanaas nu gammachiisi.
Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years we have seen evil.
16 Hojiin kee tajaajiltoota keetti, ulfinni kees ijoollee isaaniitti haa mulʼifamu.
Let Thy work appear unto Thy servants, And Thine honour on their sons.
17 Eebbi Waaqa keenya Gooftichaa nurra haa buʼu; hojii harka keenyaas jabeessii nuu dhaabi; eeyyee, hojii harka keenyaa jabeessii nuu dhaabi.
And let the pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
