Psalms 18
1 For the Chief Musician. [A Psalm] of David the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: and he said, I love thee, O LORD, my strength.
Dura Buʼaa Faarfattootaatiif. Faarfannaa Daawit garbicha Waaqayyoo; innis yommuu Waaqayyo harka diinota isaa hundaa fi harka Saaʼol jalaa isa baasetti dubbii faarfannaa kana Waaqayyoof faarfate. Innis akkana jedhe: Yaa Waaqayyo jabina ko, ani sin jaalladha.
2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strong rock, in him will I trust; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.
Waaqayyo kattaa koo, daʼannoo kootii fi oolchaa koo ti; Waaqni koo kattaa koo kan ani kooluu itti galuu dha; inni gaachana kootii fi gaanfa fayyina koo ti; daʼannoo koo cimaa dha.
3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.
Ani Waaqayyo galanni isaaf malu sana nan waammadha; diinota koo jalaas nan baraarama.
4 The cords of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
Funyoon duʼaa na xaxe; lolaan badiisaas na liqimseera.
Funyoon siiʼool natti marame; kiyyoon duʼaas natti dhufe. (Sheol h7585)
6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry before him came into his ears.
Ani dhiphina koo keessatti Waaqayyoon nan waammadhe; gargaarsaafis Waaqa kootti nan iyyadhe. Innis mana qulqullummaa isaatii sagalee koo dhagaʼe; iyyi koos gurra isaa seene.
7 Then the earth shook and trembled, me foundations also of the mountains moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.
Lafti ni hollatte; ni sochootes; hundeewwan tulluuwwaniis ni raafaman; sababii inni dheekkameefis isaan ni hollatan.
8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.
Aarri funyaan isaatii ol baʼe; ibiddi waa barbadeessu afaan isaatii baʼe; cileen bobaʼus afaan isaatii baʼe.
9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
Inni samiiwwan tarsaasee gad buʼe; duumessoonni gurraachis miilla isaa jala turan.
10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly, yea, he flew swiftly upon the wings of the wind.
Inni kiirubeelin yaabbatee barrise; qoochoo qilleensaatiinis ol baʼe.
11 He made darkness his hiding place, his pavilion round about him; darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Inni dukkana haguuggii isaa, duumessa samii kan bokkaadhaan dukkanaaʼe immoo godoo isaa godhate.
12 At the brightness before him his thick clouds passed, hailstones and coals of fire.
Ifa fuula isaa keessaas duumessi dhagaa cabbiitii fi bakakkaadhaan tarsaasee baʼe.
13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice; hailstones and coals of fire.
Waaqayyo samiidhaa ni qaqawweessaʼe; sagaleen Waaqa Waan Hundaa Oliis ni dhagaʼame.
14 And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.
Inni xiyya isaa darbatee diinota bittinneesse; bakakkaas gad dhiisee isaan fixe.
15 Then the channels of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were laid bare, at thy rebuke, O LORD, at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
Yaa Waaqayyo, dheekkamsa keetiin, humna hafuura funyaan keetii baʼuutiinis, sululawwan galaanaa ifatti baafaman; hundeewwan lafaas qullaa hafan.
16 He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters.
Inni ol gubbaadhaa gad hiixatee na qabe; bishaanota gad fagoo keessaas na baase.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Inni diina koo isa jabaa jalaa, amajaajota koo warra akka malee natti ciman jalaas na baase.
18 They came upon me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.
Isaan guyyaa rakkina kootti natti dhufan; Waaqayyo garuu gargaarsa koo ture.
19 He brought me forth also into a large place; he delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Inni iddoo balʼaatti na baase; waan natti gammadeefis na oolche.
20 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness; according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.
Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelummaa kootiitti naa kenneera; akkuma qulqullina harka koottis na badhaase.
21 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
Ani karaa Waaqayyoo eegeeraatii; Waaqa koo irraa garagalee hammina hin hojjenne.
22 For all his judgments were before me, and I put not away his statutes from me.
Seerri isaa hundinuu fuula koo dura jira; anis labsii isaa irraa hin gorre.
23 I was also perfect with him, and I kept myself from mine iniquity.
Ani fuula isaa duratti mudaa hin qabu ture; cubbuu irraas of eeggadheera.
24 Therefore hath the LORD recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in his eyesight.
Waaqayyo akkuma qajeelumma kootti, akkuma harki koo fuula isaa duratti qulqulluu taʼettis na badhaaseera.
25 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful; with the perfect man thou wilt shew thyself perfect;
Ati nama amanamaatti amanamummaa kee argisiifta; nama mudaa hin qabnettis kan mudaa hin qabne taata.
26 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the perverse thou wilt shew thyself froward.
Nama qulqulluutti qulqulluu taata; nama jalʼaatti immoo jalʼaa taata.
27 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but the haughty eyes thou wilt bring down.
Ati warra gad of qaban ni oolchita; ija of tuulu garuu gad deebifta.
28 For thou wilt light my lamp: the LORD my God will lighten my darkness.
Yaa Waaqayyo ati ibsaa koo jabeessitee ni ibsita; Waaqni koo dukkana koo ifatti ni geeddara.
29 For by thee I run upon a troop; and by my God do I leap over a wall.
Ani gargaarsa keetiin loltoota dhiibbadhee nan deema; Waaqa kootiinis dallaa utaaluu nan dandaʼa.
30 As for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried; he is a shield unto all them that trust in him.
Waaqa kana karaan isaa mudaa hin qabu; dubbiin Waaqayyoo hirʼina hin qabu; warra isatti kooluu galan hundaaf Waaqayyo gaachana taʼa.
31 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, beside our God?
Waaqayyo malee Waaqni eenyu? Waaqa keenya malees kattaan eenyu?
32 The God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect.
Kan humna na hidhachiisu, kan akka karaan koos nagaa taʼu godhu Waaqa.
33 He maketh my feet like hinds’ [feet]: and setteth me upon my high places,
Inni miilla koo akka miilla borofaa godha; iddoo ol dheeraa irras na dhaabachiisa.
34 He teacheth my hands to war; so that mine arms do bend a bow of brass.
Inni harka koo waraanaaf leenjisa; irreen koos iddaa naasii dabsuu ni dandaʼa.
35 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath holden me up, and thy gentleness hath made me great.
Ati gargaarsa kee kan nama fayyisu gaachana naaf goota; harki kee mirgaa ol na qabeera; gargaarsi kees nama guddaa na godhe.
36 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Akka koomeen koo hin mucucaanneef, miilla kootiif daandii balʼifteerta.
37 I will pursue mine enemies, and overtake them: neither will I turn again till they are consumed.
Ani diinota koo ariʼee nan qaqqabadhe; hamma isaan barbadaaʼanittis ani duubatti hin deebine.
38 I will smite them through that they shall not be able to rise: they shall fall under my feet.
Ani akka isaan deebiʼanii kaʼuu hin dandeenyeef isaan nan barbadeesse; isaanis miilla koo jalatti ni kufan.
39 For thou hast girded me with strength unto the battle: thou hast subdued under me those that rose up against me.
Ati lolaaf humna na hidhachiifte; amajaajota koos fuula koo duratti gad deebifte.
40 Thou hast also made mine enemies turn their backs unto me, that I might cut off them that hate me.
Akka diinonni koo dugda duubatti deebiʼanii baqatan gooteerta; anis amajaajota koo barbadeesseera.
41 They cried, but there was none to save: even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.
Isaan gargaarsaaf iyyan; garuu kan isaan oolchu tokko iyyuu hin turre; gara Waaqayyoottis ni iyyatan; inni garuu deebii hin kennineef.
42 Then did I beat them small as the dust before the wind: I did cast them out as the mire of the streets.
Anis akkuma awwaara bubbeen fudhatuutti isaan nan daake; akkuma dhoqqee daandii irraatti isaan nan dhidhiite.
43 Thou hast delivered me from the strivings of the people; thou hast made me the head of the nations: a people whom I have not known shall serve me.
Ati lola namootaa jalaa na baafteerta; mataa sabootaa na gooteerta; sabni ani hin beekne na tajaajila.
44 As soon as they hear of me they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.
Namoonni ormaa na sossobatan; isaan akkuma waaʼee koo dhagaʼaniin naaf ajajaman.
45 The strangers shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their close places.
Isaan hundi abdii kutatan; hollachaas daʼannoo isaanii jabaa keessaa baʼan.
46 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of my salvation:
Waaqayyo jiraataa dha! Kattaan koo haa eebbifamu! Waaqni Fayyisaan koo ol ol haa jedhu!
47 Even the God that executeth vengeance for me, and subdueth peoples under me.
Inni Waaqa haaloo naa baasu, kan sabootas na jalatti bulchuu dha;
48 He rescueth me from mine enemies: yea, thou liftest me up above them that rise up against me: thou deliverest me from the violent man.
diinota koo jalaas na baasa. Ati amajaajota kootii ol na goota; gooltota jalaas na baafte.
49 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the nations, and will sing praises unto thy name.
Kanaafuu yaa Waaqayyo, ani saboota gidduutti sin leellisa; faarfannaa galataa illee maqaa keetiif nan faarfadha.
50 Great deliverance giveth he to his king; and sheweth lovingkindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
Inni moʼannaawwan gurguddaa mootii isaatiif ni kenna; dibamaa isaa Daawitii fi sanyii isaatiif, jaalala bara baraa ni argisiisa.
