| 1 |
Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
|
አሚረ ፡ አስርሐኒ ፡ ቀትል ።
|
2 |
Attend unto me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
|
ብዙኃን ፡ እለ ፡ ፀብኡኒ ፡ ወፈራህኩ ።
|
3 |
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
|
ወአንሰ ፡ ኪያከ ፡ ተወከልኩ ፡ እግዚኦ ።
|
4 |
My heart is sore pained within me: and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
|
ተወከልኩ ፡ ኢይፈርህ ፤ ምንተ ፡ ይሬስየኒ ፡ ዘሥጋ ።
|
5 |
Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
|
ይመክሩ ፡ ኵሎ ፡ እኩየ ።
|
6 |
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
|
ሰኰናየ ፡ ያስተሓይጹኒ ፤
|
7 |
Lo, then would I wander far off, and remain in the wilderness. Selah.
|
ለአሕዛብ ፡ በመዐትከ ።
|
8 |
I would hasten my escape from the windy storm and tempest.
|
አንብዕየ ፡ ቅድሜከ ፡ በከመ ፡ አዘዝከ ።
|
9 |
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongues: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
|
ለይግብኡ ፡ ፀርየ ፡ ድኅሬሆሙ ፡
|
10 |
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof: mischief also and sorrow are in the midst of it.
|
ኣእመርኩ ፡ ከመ ፡ አምላኪየ ፡ አንተ ።
|
11 |
Wickedness is in the midst thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
|
ተወከልኩ ፡ ኢይፈርህ ፤ ምንተ ፡ ይሬስየኒ ፡ ሰብእ ።
|
12 |
For it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that did magnify himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
|
እምኀቤይ ፡ እሁብ ፡ ብፅአትየ ፡ ለስብሓቲከ ።
|
13 |
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
|
ኣሥምሮ ፡ ለእግዚአብሔር ፡ በብሔረ ፡ ሕያዋን ።
