Psalms 121

1 A Canticle in steps. I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains; from thence help will come to me.

Faarfannaa Ol baʼuu. Ani ija koo gara tulluuwwaniitti ol nan qabadha; gargaarsi koo eessaa dhufa?

2 My help is from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Gargaarsi koo Waaqayyo samii fi lafa uume biraa dhufa.

3 May he not allow your foot to be moved, and may he not slumber, who guards you.

Inni akka miilli kee mucucaatu hin godhu; kan si eegu hin mugu;

4 Behold, he who guards Israel will neither sleep, nor slumber.

dhugumaan inni Israaʼelin eegu hin mugu; hin rafus.

5 The Lord is your keeper, the Lord is your protection, above your right hand.

Waaqayyo si eega; Waaqayyo karaa mirga keetiitiin gaaddisa siif taʼa;

6 The sun will not burn you by day, nor the moon by night.

guyyaa aduun si hin gubu; halkanis jiʼi si hin miidhu.

7 The Lord guards you from all evil. May the Lord guard your soul.

Waaqayyo miidhaa hunda irraa si eega; inni lubbuu kee ni eega;

8 May the Lord guard your entrance and your exit, from this time forward and even forever.

Waaqayyo ammaa jalqabee hamma bara baraatti, baʼuu fi galuu kee ni eega.
