Faarfannaa 94
1 Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa haaloo baaftu, Yaa Waaqa haaloo baaftu, ifii mulʼadhu.
O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, show thyself.
2 Yaa Abbaa Murtii lafa kanaa kaʼi; of tuultotaaf illee waan isaanii malu kenni.
Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud.
3 Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma yoomiitti warri hamoon, warri hamoon hamma yoomiitti burraaqu?
LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph?
4 Isaan dubbii of tuulummaa gad roobsu; jalʼoonni hundinuu of dhiibuudhaan guutaman.
[How long] shall they utter [and] speak hard things? [and] all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
5 Yaa Waaqayyo, isaan saba kee miidhu; handhuuraa kees ni hacuucu.
They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thy heritage.
6 Haadha hiyyeessaatii fi keessummaa ni gorraʼu; ijoollee abbaa hin qabnes ni ajjeesu.
They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless.
7 Isaan, “Waaqayyo hin argu; Waaqni Yaaqoob hin qalbeeffatu” jedhu.
Yet they say, The LORD will not see, neither will the God of Jacob regard [it].
8 Warri saba keessaa raatoftan mee hubadhaa; isin warri gowwoonni yoom ogeeyyii taatu?
Understand, ye brutish among the people: and [ye] fools, when will ye be wise?
9 Inni gurra uume sun hin dhagaʼuu? Inni ija uume hin argu?
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? he that formed the eye, shall he not see?
10 Inni saboota sirreessu sun hin adabuu? Inni nama barsiisu sun beekumsa hin qabuu?
He that chastiseth the heathen, shall he not correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, [shall he not know]?
11 Waaqayyo yaada namaa beeka; akka yaadni namaa faayidaa hin qabnes ni beeka.
The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity.
12 Yaa Waaqayyo, namni ati adabdu, namni ati seera kee irraa barsiiftu eebbifamaa dha;
Blessed [is] the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him out of thy law;
13 hamma hamootaaf boolli qotamutti, guyyaa rakkinaatti ati boqonnaa kennitaaf.
That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit be digged for the wicked.
14 Waaqayyo saba isaa hin gatuutii; inni akkana illee jedhee handhuuraa ofii isaa hin dhiisu.
For the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15 Murtiin qajeelummaa irratti hundeeffama; toloonni hundinuus isa faana buʼu.
But judgment shall return to righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it.
16 Eenyutu hamootatti naa kaʼa? Eenyutu na cina dhaabatee warra jalʼina hojjetaniin morma?
Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers? [or] who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Utuu Waaqayyo na gargaaruu baatee, silaa yoona lubbuun koo boolla duʼaa keessa jirti.
Unless the LORD [had been] my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence.
18 Yaa Waaqayyo yeroo ani, “Miilli koo mucucaateera” jedhetti, araarri kee ol qabee na dhaabe.
When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up.
19 Yommuu yaaddoon natti baayʼatetti, jajjabeessuun kee lubbuu koo gammachiise.
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, thy comforts delight my soul.
20 Bulchitoonni hamoon, warri seeratti fayyadamanii jalʼina hojjetan si wajjin tokkummaa qabaachuu dandaʼuu?
Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law?
21 Isaan tokkummaadhaan nama qajeelaatti kaʼanii nama yakka hin qabnetti duʼa muru.
They assemble themselves against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood.
22 Waaqayyo garuu daʼoo, Waaqni koos, kattaa ani itti baqadhu naa taʼeera.
But the LORD is my defense; and my God [is] the rock of my refuge.
23 Inni gatii cubbuu isaanii isaanumatti deebisa; sababii hammina isaaniitiif illee isaan balleessa; Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya isaan barbadeessa.
And he will bring upon them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness; [yes], the LORD our God will cut them off.
