Psalms 37
1 [A Psalm] of David. Fret not yourself because of evil-doers, neither be envious of them that do iniquity.
Faarfannaa Daawit. Ati sababii namoota hamootiif jettee hin aarin yookaan warra jalʼina hojjetanitti hin hinaafin.
2 For they shall soon be withered as the grass, and shall soon fall away as the green herbs.
Isaan akkuma margaa dafanii coollagu; akkuma biqiltuu misee dafanii gogu.
3 Hope in the Lord, and do good; and dwell on the land, and you shall be fed with the wealth of it.
Waaqayyoon amanadhu; waan gaariis hojjedhu; biyyattii keessa jiraadhu; nagaas qabaadhu.
4 Delight [yourself] in the Lord; and he shall grant you the requests of your heart.
Waaqayyotti gammadi; innis hawwii garaa keetii siif guuta.
5 Disclose your way to the Lord, and hope in him; and he shall bring [it] to pass.
Karaa kee Waaqayyotti kennadhu; isa amanadhu; inni siif milkeessa.
6 And he shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your judgment as the noon-day.
Inni qajeelummaa kee akka aduu ganamaatti, murtii kee immoo akka aduu saafaatti ibsa.
7 Submit yourself to the Lord, and supplicate him: fret not yourself because of him that prospers in his way, at the man that does unlawful deeds.
Waaqayyo duratti calʼisi; obsaanis isa eeggadhu; nama karaan isaa qajeeleefitti, kan hammina hojjetuttis hin hinaafin.
8 ease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not yourself so as to do evil.
Aarii irraa of eegi; dheekkamsa irraas deebiʼi; hin aarin; aariin hammina qofatti nama geessaatii.
9 For evil-doers shall be destroyed: but they that wait on the Lord, they shall inherit the land.
Namoonni hamoon ni balleeffamuutii; warri Waaqayyoon abdatan garuu lafa dhaalu.
10 And yet a little while, and the sinner shall not be, and you shall seek for his place, and shall not find [it].
Namoonni hamoon yeroo xinnoodhaaf malee siʼachi hin jiraatan; yoo ati isaan barbaadde illee hin argaman.
11 But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight [themselves] in the abundance of peace.
Garraamonni garuu lafa ni dhaalu; nagaa guddaadhaanis ni gammadu.
12 The sinner will watch for the righteous, and gnash his teeth upon him.
Namoonni hamoon nama qajeelaatti mariʼatu; ilkaan isaaniis isatti qaratu;
13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foresees that his day will come.
Gooftaan hamootatti ni kolfa; inni akka guyyaan isaanii dhiʼaate ni beekaatii.
14 Sinners have drawn their swords, they have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy one, [and] to kill the upright in heart.
Namoonni hamoon hiyyeeyyii fi rakkattoota lafaan dhaʼuudhaaf, warra karaan isaanii qajeelaa taʼe immoo gorraʼuudhaaf, goraadee isaanii luqqifatu; iddaa isaaniis ni dabsatu.
15 Let their sword enter into their [own] heart, and their bows be broken.
Goraadeen isaanii garuu garaadhuma isaanii waraana; iddaan isaaniis ni caccaba.
16 A little is better to the righteous than abundant wealth of sinners.
Badhaadhummaa hamoonni baayʼeen qaban irra, waan xinnoo namni qajeelaan qabu wayya;
17 For the arms of sinners shall be broken; but the Lord supports the righteous.
humni hamootaa ni cabaatii; Waaqayyo garuu qajeeltota jabeessee ni dhaaba.
18 The Lord knows the ways of the perfect; and their inheritance shall be for ever.
Waaqayyo bara tolootaa ni beeka; dhaalli isaaniis bara baraan jiraata.
19 They shall not be ashamed in an evil time; and in days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Isaan bara hamaa keessa hin qaanaʼan; bara beelaa keessas ni quufu.
20 For the sinners shall perish; and the enemies of the Lord at the moment of their being honored and exalted have utterly vanished like smoke.
Namoonni hamoon garuu ni barbadaaʼu; diinonni Waaqayyoos akkuma miidhagina daraaraa dirree ti; isaan ni badu; akkuma aaraa ni badu.
21 The sinner borrows, and will not pay again: but the righteous has compassion, and gives.
Namoonni hamoon ni liqeeffatu; garuu deebisanii of irraa hin baasan; qajeeltonni garuu arjummaadhaan kennu;
22 For they that bless him shall inherit the earth; and they that curse him shall be utterly destroyed.
warri Waaqayyo eebbisu lafa ni dhaalu; warri inni abaaru garuu ni balleeffamu.
23 The steps of a man are rightly ordered by the Lord: and he will take pleasure in his way.
Adeemsi nama Waaqayyo biraa ajajama; inni karaa namicha sanaatti ni gammada.
24 When he falls, he shall not be ruined: for the Lord supports his hand.
Inni yoo gufate illee lafa hin gaʼu; Waaqayyo harka isaatiin qabee isa dhaabaatii.
25 I was [once] young, indeed I am now old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
Ani dargaggeessan ture; amma immoo dulloomeera; garuu qajeeltonni gatamuu isaanii yookaan ijoolleen isaaniis buddeena kadhachuu isaanii hin argine.
26 He is merciful, and lends continually; and his seed shall be blessed.
Qajeeltonni yeroo hundumaa ni arjoomu; ni liqeessus; ijoolleen isaaniis ni eebbifamu.
27 Turn aside from evil, and do good; and dwell for ever.
Waan hamaa irraa deebiʼiitii waan gaarii hojjedhu; yoos ati bara baraan ni jiraatta.
28 For the Lord loves judgment, and will not forsake his saints; they shall be preserved for ever: the blameless shall be avenged, but the seed of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
Waaqayyo murtii qajeelaa jaallataatii; warra isaaf amanamanis hin gatu. Isaanis bara baraan ni eegamu; sanyiin hamootaa garuu ni balleeffama.
29 But the righteous shall inherit the earth, and dwell upon it for ever.
Qajeeltonni lafa ni dhaalu; bara baraanis ishee irra ni jiraatu.
30 The mouth of the righteous will meditate wisdom, and his tongue will speak of judgment.
Afaan nama qajeelaa ogummaa dubbata; arrabni isaas murtii qajeelaa labsa.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; and his steps shall not slide.
Seerri Waaqa isaa garaa isaa keessa jira; miilli isaas hin mucucaatu.
32 The sinner watches the righteous, and seeks to kill him.
Namoonni hamoon qajeeltota gaadu; isaan ajjeesuus ni barbaadu;
33 But the Lord will not leave him in his hands, nor by any means condemn him when he is judged.
Waaqayyo garuu harka isaaniitti jara hin dhiisu yookaan yommuu isaan murtiitti dhiʼeeffamanitti, akka isaanitti murteeffamu hin eeyyamu.
34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are destroyed, you shall see [it].
Waaqayyoon eeggadhu; karaa isaas eegi. Inni akka ati lafa dhaaltuuf ulfina siif kenna; atis badiisa hamootaa ni argita.
35 I saw the ungodly very highly exalting himself, and lifting himself up like the cedars of Libanus.
Nama hamaa fi gara jabeessa, isaa akkuma muka iddoon isaa itti tolee jiru nan arge.
36 Yet I passed by, and behold! he was not: and I sought him, but his place was not found.
Ergasiis achiin nan darbe; inni garuu achi hin turre; ani cimsee isa nan barbaade; inni garuu hin argamne.
37 Maintain innocence, and behold uprightness: for there is a remnant to the peaceful man.
Nama mudaa hin qabne yaadatti qabadhu; tolootas ilaali; sanyiin nama nagaa hin baduutii.
38 But the transgressors shall be utterly destroyed together: the remnants of the ungodly shall be utterly destroyed.
Cubbamoonni hundinuu garuu ni barbadeeffamu; galgalli nama hamaas hin tolu.
39 But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord; and he is their defender in the time of affliction.
Fayyinni qajeeltotaa Waaqayyo biraa dhufa; inni yeroo rakkinaatti daʼoo isaanii ti.
40 And the Lord shall help them, and deliver them: and he shall rescue them from sinners, and save them, because they have hoped in him.
Waaqayyo isaan gargaara; isaan oolchas; harka namoota hamoo jalaa isaan baasa; isaan baraaras; isaan isatti kooluu galaniiruutii.
