Psalms 16
1 A psalm (miktam) of David. Take care of me, Lord, for I come to you for protection.
Miiktaamii Daawit. Yaa Waaqi, ani kooluu sitti galeeraatii, ati na eegi.
2 I tell the Lord, “Apart from you Lord, I don't have anything that's good.”
Anis Waaqayyoon, “Ati Gooftaa koo ti; ani si malee gaarummaa hin qabu” nan jedha.
3 As for the holy people in the land, they are the ones who are truly great. I appreciate them.
Qulqulloonni lafa irraa garuu ulfina qabeeyyii dha; anis isaanitti baayʼee nan gammada.
4 Those who run after other gods will face a lot of trouble. I will not participate in their offerings of blood, I will not even speak the names of their gods.
Warra waaqota tolfamoo duukaa buʼan, gaddi isaanii ni guddata. Dhibaayyuu dhiigaa ani isaaniif hin dhibaafadhu; yookaan afaan kootiin maqaa isaanii hin dhaʼu.
5 Lord, you alone are all I have; you give me what I need; you safeguard my future.
Waaqayyo qooda dhaala kootii fi qooda xoofoo koo ti; ixaa koos situ naa jiraachisa.
6 The land divisions have worked out in my favor—my property is wonderful!
Funyoon daangaa iddoo gaarii naa buʼeera; dhugumaan ani dhaala nama gammachiisu qaba.
7 I will bless the Lord who gives me good advice; even at night my conscience tells me what is right.
Waaqayyo isa na gorsu sana ani nan jajadha; halkanis yaadni koo na qajeelcha.
8 I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.
Ani yeroo hunda fuula koo duraa Waaqayyoon qaba. Waan inni mirga koo jiruuf ani hin raafamu.
9 That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope!
Kanaaf garaan koo ni gammada; arrabni koos ni ililcha; foon koos nagaadhaan jiraata;
10 For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. (Sheol h7585)
ati siiʼool keessatti na hin dhiiftuutii, yookaan amanamaan kee akka tortoru hin gootu. (Sheol h7585)
11 You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.
Ati karaa jireenyaa na barsiifta; fuula kee durattis gammachuudhaan na guutta; gara mirga keetii gammachuu bara baraatu jira.
