Psalms 34
1 A psalm of David concerning the time he pretended to be mad in front of Abimelech who then sent him away. I will always bless the Lord; my mouth will continually praise him.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Innis fuula Abiimelek duratti maraatuu of fakkeesseef Abiimelek isa ariinaan yeroo achii deemetti faarfate. Ani yeroo hunda Waaqayyoon nan eebbisa; galanni isaas yeroo hunda afaanii na hin buʼu.
2 From the bottom of my heart I am proud of the Lord; those who are humble will hear and be happy.
Lubbuun koo Waaqayyoon boonti; cunqurfamtoonni dhagaʼanii haa gammadan.
3 Glorify God with me; together let's honor his reputation.
Na wajjin Waaqayyoof ulfina kennaa; kottaa walii wajjin maqaa isaa ol kaafnaa.
4 I asked the Lord for help, and he answered me. He set me free from all my fears.
Waaqayyoon nan barbaaddadhe; innis deebii naa kenne; sodaa koo hunda keessaas na baase.
5 The faces of those who look to him will shine with joy; they will never be downcast with shame.
Warri gara isaa ilaalan ni ifu; fuulli isaaniis yoom iyyuu hin qaanaʼu.
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard me, and saved me from all my troubles.
Hiyyeessi kun ni iyye; Waaqayyos isa dhagaʼe; rakkina isaa hundumaa keessaas isa baase.
7 The angel of the Lord stands guard over all those who honor him, keeping them safe.
Ergamaan Waaqayyoo naannoo warra Waaqa sodaatanii ni qubata; isaan ni oolchas.
8 Taste, and you will see that the Lord is good! How happy are those who trust in his protection!
Akka Waaqayyo gaarii taʼe mee miʼeeffadhaa ilaalaa; namni isatti kooluu galu eebbifamaa dha.
9 Show your reverence for the Lord, you who are his holy people, for those who respect him have everything they need.
Isin qulqulloonni isaa Waaqayyoon sodaadhaa; warri isa sodaatan homaa hin dhabaniitii.
10 Lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who trust in the Lord have all that is good.
Leenci saafelli iyyuu waa ni dhaba; ni beelaʼas; namni Waaqayyoon barbaaddatu garuu waan gaarii tokko illee hin dhabu.
11 Children, listen to me! I will teach you how to respect the Lord.
Yaa ijoollee ko, kottaa na dhagaʼaa; anis Waaqayyoon sodaachuu isinan barsiisa.
12 Who of you wants to live a long and happy life?
Namni jireenya jaallatu, kan bara gaarii arguudhaafis bara baayʼee hawwu eenyu?
13 Then don't let your tongue speak evil, or your lips tell lies.
Arraba kee waan hamaa irraa, afaan kees soba dubbachuu irraa eeggadhu.
14 Reject what is evil, do what is good. Look for peace, and work to make it a reality.
Hammina irraa deebiʼi; gaarii hojjedhu; nagaa barbaadi; duukaa buʼis.
15 The Lord watches over those who do right, and he hears when they cry for help.
Iji Waaqayyoo qajeeltota irra jira; gurri isaas iyya isaaniitiif banamaa dha;
16 The Lord sets himself against those who do evil. He will wipe out even the memory of them from the earth.
yaadannoo isaanii lafa irraa balleessuudhaaf, fuulli Waaqayyoo warra hamaa hojjetanitti ni hammaata.
17 But when his people call out for help, he hears them and rescues them from all their troubles.
Qajeeltonni gargaarsaaf iyyatu; Waaqayyos isaan dhagaʼa. Rakkina isaanii hunda keessaas isaan baasa.
18 The Lord is close beside those who are broken-hearted; he saves those whose spirits are crushed.
Waaqayyo warra garaan isaanii cabetti dhiʼoo dha; warra abdii kutatanis ni fayyisa.
19 Those who do right have many problems, but the Lord solves all of them.
Rakkinni nama qajeelaa baayʼee dha; Waaqayyo garuu hunda isaa jalaa isa baasa;
20 He keeps them safe—not a single one of their bones will be broken.
lafee isaa hunda ni eega; isaan keessaas tokko illee hin cabu.
21 Evil kills the wicked. Those who hate good people will suffer for their wrongdoing.
Hamoota hamminatu ajjeesa; warra nama qajeelaa jibbanitti ni murteeffama.
22 The Lord saves the lives of his servants. Those who trust in his protection will not suffer for their wrongdoings.
Waaqayyo lubbuu tajaajiltoota isaa ni fura; warra isatti kooluu galan keessaa tokkotti illee hin murteeffamu.
