Psalms 60
1 [I prayed], “God, you have rejected us [Israelis]! Because you have been angry [with us], you have [enabled our enemies] to break through our ranks. [Please] enable us to be strong again!
Dura buʼaa faarfattootaatiif. Yeedaloo “Daraaraa kakuu” jedhamuun faarfatame. Miiktaamii Daawit. Barsiisuuf. Yeroo inni Arraam Nahaaraayimii fi Arraam Zoobaa lolee fi yeroo Yooʼaabin deebisee warra Edoomii keessaa namoota kuma kudha lama Sulula soogiddaa keessatti fixetti faarfatame. Yaa Waaqi, ati nu gatteerta; nu caccabsiteertas; nutti aarteerta; amma garuu iddootti nu deebisi!
2 [When we were defeated, it was as though] [MET] there was a big earthquake in our land that caused the ground to split open. So now, [just as only you can] cause the cracks in the land to disappear, [help our army to be strong again], because [it is as though] our country is (falling apart/being destroyed).
Ati lafa sochoofteerta; tarsaaftees afaan bansiifteerta; caccabaa ishees walitti suphi; isheen raafamteertii.
3 You have caused [us], your people, to suffer very much; [it is as though] you forced us to drink [strong] wine that caused us to stagger around [after we became drunk].
Ati akka sabni kee waan hamaadhaan dhiphatu gooteerta; daadhii wayinii nu gatantarsus nuu kenniteerta.
4 But you have raised a battle flag for those who revere you in order that they can gather around it and not [be killed by the enemies’] arrows.
Akka isaan iddaa jalaa gara isaatti baqataniif, ati warra si sodaataniif mallattoo kenniteerta.
5 Answer our [prayers] and enable us by your power [MTY] to defeat [our enemies] in order that we, the people whom you love, will be saved.”
Akka warri ati jaallattu furamaniif, harka kee mirgaatiin nu oolchi; nu gargaaris.
6 [Then] God [answered my prayer and] spoke from his temple, saying, “Because I have conquered [your enemies], I will divide up [everything in] Shechem [city], and I will distribute it among my people [the land in] Succoth Valley.
Waaqni iddoo qulqullummaa isaatii akkana jedhee dubbateera; “Ani gammachuudhaan Sheekemin gargar nan qooda; Sulula Sukootis nan safara.
7 The Gilead [region] is mine; the [people of the tribe of] Manasseh are mine; [the tribe of] Ephraim is [like] my helmet [MET]; and [the tribe of] Judah is [like] the (scepter/stick [that I hold which shows that I am the ruler]) [MET];
Giliʼaad kan koo ti; Minaaseenis kan koo ti. Efreem gonfoo sibiilaa koo ti; Yihuudaanis bokkuu mootummaa koo ti.
8 but the Moab [region] is [like] my washbasin [MET]; I throw my sandal in the Edom [area to show that it belongs to me]; I shout triumphantly because I have defeated [the people of] the Philistia [area].”
Moʼaab caabii dhiqannaa koo ti; Edoom irra kophee koo darbadhee nan buusa; Filisxeem irrattis moʼannaadhaan nan geerara.”
9 [Because I want to defeat the people of] Edom, (who will lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it?/I want someone to lead my [army triumphantly] to their [capital] city that has strong walls around it.)” [RHQ]
Eenyutu magaalaa jabeeffamtee ijaaramtetti na fida? Eenyutu Edoomitti na geessa?
10 So, God, we [desire/hope that] [RHQ] you have not truly abandoned us, and that you will go with us when our armies march out [to fight our enemies].
Yaa Waaqi, kan nu gatte suma mitii? Yaa Waaqi, kan loltoota keenya wajjin baʼuu diddes suma mitii?
11 [We need you to] help us when we fight against our enemies, because the help that humans can give us is worthless.
Diina keenya of irraa dhowwuu nu gargaar; gargaarsi namaa faayidaa hin qabuutii.
12 But with you [helping us], we shall win; you will enable us to defeat our enemies.
Nu Waaqa wajjin ni moʼanna; innis diinota keenya gad dhidhiita.
