Psalms 13

1 For the music director. A psalm of David. How long, Lord, are you going to forget me? Forever? How long will you turn away from me?

Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, hamma yoomiitti? Ati hamma bara baraatti na irraanfattaa? Hamma yoomiittis fuula kee na duraa dhoksita?

2 How long must I be in inner turmoil, feeling sad all day long? How long will my enemy be victorious over me?

Ani hamma yoomiittin rakkina obsee guyyaa guutuu garaa koo keessatti gadda? Hamma yoomiitti diinni koo narra aana?

3 Think about this, and answer me, Lord my God. Give me back my strength, otherwise I'm going to die,

Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa ko, na ilaali; deebii illee naa kenni. Akka ani hirriba duʼaa hin rafneefis ija kootiif ifa kenni;

4 and my enemy will say, “I defeated him!” and my opponents will celebrate my downfall.

diinni koo, “Ani isa moʼadheera” jedha; amajaajiiwwan koos kufaatii kootti gammadu.

5 But I trust in your never-failing love, I will be happy because you save me.

Ani garuu araara kee nan amanadha; garaan koos fayyisuu keetti ni gammada.

6 I will sing to the Lord because he has treated me with such generosity!

Ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; arjummaan isaa naa baayʼateeraatii.
