Psalms 124

1 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, now may Israel say;

Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Israaʼel akkana haa jedhu: Utuu Waaqayyo garee keenya taʼuu baatee,

2 If it had not been the LORD who was on our side, when men rose up against us:

utuu Waaqayyo garee keenya taʼuu baatee, yommuu namoonni nutti kaʼanitti,

3 Then they had swallowed us up quick, when their wrath was kindled against us:

yommuu aariin isaanii nutti bobaʼetti, silaa isaan utuu nu lubbuun jirruu nu liqimsu turan;

4 Then the waters had overwhelmed us, the stream had gone over our soul:

lolaan nu liqimsee dhaʼaan bishaanii nurra yaaʼa ture;

5 Then the proud waters had gone over our soul.

bishaan hamaan nu fudhatee bada ture.

6 Blessed be the LORD, who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.

Waaqayyo akka nu ilkaan isaaniitiin cicciramnuuf dabarsee itti nu hin kennin sun haa eebbifamu.

7 Our soul is escaped as a bird out of the snare of the fowlers: the snare is broken, and we are escaped.

Akkuma simbirri kiyyoo adamsituu jalaa baatu, nu isaan jalaa baaneerra; kiyyoon ni ciccite; nus jalaa baane.

8 Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.

Gargaarsi keenya maqaa Waaqayyoo, Uumaa samii fi lafa sanaa ti.
