Psalms 104
1 [I tell] myself that I should praise Yahweh. Yahweh, my God, you are very great! Like a king has on his royal robes [MET], you have honor and majesty/greatness all around you!
Yaa lubbuu ko, Waaqayyoon eebbisi. Yaa Waaqayyo, Waaqa ko, ati akka malee guddaa dha; miidhaginaa fi surraa uffatteerta.
2 You [created/caused] light to be like your robe [MET]. You spread out the sky like [a man sets up] a tent.
Ati akkuma wayyaa ifa uffatta; samiiwwanis akkuma dunkaanaa diriirsita.
3 You made/put your home [in heaven], above the rain clouds in the sky, [like a man puts the] rafters of his house in place [MET]. You made/caused the clouds to be like chariots [to carry you].
Dareeraa diinqa isaa bishaanota irra buufta. Duumessoota gaarii isaa godhata; qoochoo bubbee yaabbattee deema.
4 You caused the winds to be [like] your messengers [MET], and flames of fire to be [like] your servants.
Inni ergamoota isaa hafuurota, tajaajiltoota isaa immoo arraba ibiddaa godha.
5 You placed the world firmly on its foundation so that it can never be moved/shaken.
Inni lafa hundee ishee irra dhaabeera; isheenis gonkumaa hin sochootu.
6 [Later], you covered the earth with a flood, like a blanket, with the water that covered the mountains.
Ati akkuma wayyaatti tuujubaan ishee haguugde; bishaanonnis tulluuwwanii ol dhaabatan.
7 [But] when you rebuked the water, the oceans receded; your voice spoke like thunder, and then the waters rushed away.
Ati ifannaan bishaanonni baqatan; sagalee qaqawwee keetii dhageenyaan gugatan.
8 Mountains rose up [from the water], and the valleys sank down to the levels that you had determined for them.
Isaan tulluuwwan irraan dhangalaʼan; gara iddoo ati isaanii qopheessitee, gara sululootaatti gad yaaʼan.
9 [Then] you set a boundary for the oceans, a boundary that they cannot cross; their water will never again cover the [whole] earth.
Akka isaan deebiʼanii lafa hin haguugneef ati daarii isaan darbuu hin dandeenye isaan dura dhaabde.
10 You make/cause springs to pour [water] into ravines; their [water] flows down between the mountains.
Akka burqaawwan sululoota keessa yaaʼan goota; isaanis tulluuwwan gidduu yaaʼu.
11 Those [streams] provide water for all the animals [to drink]; the wild donkeys [drink the water and] are no longer thirsty.
Isaan bineensota bakkee hundaaf bishaan kennu; harroonni diidaas dheebuu baʼu.
12 Birds make their nests alongside [the streams], and they sing among the branches [of the trees].
Simbirroonni samii bishaanota biratti mandhee ijaarratan; dameewwan gidduutti ni faarfatan.
13 From (your home in heaven/the sky) you send rain down on the mountains, and you fill the earth with many good things that you create.
Inni mana isaa kan olii irraa tulluuwwan bishaan obaafta; laftis ija hojii keetiitiin quufti.
14 You make/cause grass to grow for the cattle [to eat], and you make/cause plants to grow for people. In that way [animals and people] get their food from [what grows in] the soil.
Inni lafa irraa nyaata kennuuf jedhee looniif marga, faayidaa namaatiif immoo biqiltuuwwan biqilcha;
15 We get [grapes to make] [MTY] wine to [drink and] make us cheerful, and we get [olives to make] [MTY] olive oil to [put on our] skin and cause it to shine, and we get [grain to make] [MTY] bread to give us strength.
akka daadhiin wayinii garaa nama gammachiisu, akka zayitiin fuula nama cululuqsuu fi akka midhaan nama jajjabeessu ni goota.
16 Yahweh, you [send plenty of rain to] water your trees, the cedar [trees] that you planted in Lebanon.
Mukkeen Waaqayyoo, birbirsi Libaanoon kan inni dhaabe sun bishaan quufaniiru.
17 Birds make their nests in those [trees]; even storks make their nests in pine/fir trees.
Simbirroonni achitti mandhee isaanii ijaarratu; huummoonis birbirsa irraa mana qabdi.
18 High up in the mountains the wild goats live, and hyraxes/badgers live in the crags/crevices in the rocks.
Tulluuwwan dhedheeroon daʼoo reʼee diidaa ti; holqi kattaawwanii immoo daʼoo osolee ti.
19 [Yahweh], you made the moon to indicate the times for our festivals, and you made the sun that knows when to go down.
Inni akka jiʼi waqtiilee gargar qoodu godha; biiftuunis yeroo itti lixxu ni beekti.
20 You bring darkness, and it becomes night, when all the animals in the forest prowl around, [looking for food].
Ati dukkana uumta; halkanis ni taʼa; bineensonni bosonaa hundis gad yaaʼu.
21 At night the young lions roar as they seek their prey, [but] they depend on you to give them food.
Leenci saafelli waan nyaatu barbaadee aada; nyaata isaas Waaqa bira barbaada.
22 At dawn, they go back to their dens and lie down.
Isaan yommuu biiftuun baatutti walitti qabamu; dachaʼaniis goda isaanii keessa ciciisu.
23 And during the daytime, people go to their work; they work until it is evening.
Namni gara hojii isaatti, hamma galgalaattis gara jiruu isaatti ni baʼa.
24 Yahweh, you have made so many different kinds of things! You were [very] wise as you made them all. The earth is full of the creatures that you [made].
Yaa Waaqayyo, hojiin kee akkam baayʼee dha! Ati hunda isaanii ogummaadhaan hojjette; laftis uumamawwan keetiin guutamte.
25 [We see] the ocean which is very large [DOU]! It is full of many kinds of living creatures, big ones and little ones.
Galaanni guddaa fi balʼaan kun, uumamawwan hamma hin qabneen guutame; kan lubbuu qabeeyyiin gurguddaa fi xixinnoon keessa jiraatan kuunnoo jira.
26 We see the ships which sail along! We see the huge sea monster, which you made to (splash around/play) in the sea.
Dooniiwwan as irra deddeebiʼu; lewaataan kan akka inni achi keessa taphatuuf ati uumtes achi jira.
27 All of those creatures depend on you to give them the food that they need.
Akka ati nyaata isaanii yeroo barbaachisuutti isaaniif kennituuf, isaan hundi si eeggatu.
28 When you give them the food that they need, they gather it. You give them what you have in your hand, and they [eat it and] are satisfied.
Yeroo ati isaaniif kennitutti, isaan walitti qabatu; yeroo ati harka kee balʼiftutti, isaan waan gaarii quufu.
29 [But] if you refuse to give food to them, they become terrified. And when you cause them to stop breathing, they die; their bodies [decay and] become soil again.
Yeroo ati fuula kee dhokfattutti, isaan ni naʼu; yeroo ati hafuura isaanii fudhattutti, isaan duʼanii biyyootti deebiʼu.
30 When you cause newborn creatures to begin to breathe, they start to live; you give new life to all the living creatures on the earth.
Yeroo ati Hafuura kee ergitutti isaan ni uumamu; atis fuula lafaa ni haaromsita.
31 I want the glory of Yahweh to last forever. I want him to rejoice about [all] the things that he has created.
Ulfinni Waaqayyoo bara baraan haa jiraatu; Waaqayyo hojii isaatti haa gammadu;
32 He causes the earth to shake [just] by looking at it! By [merely] touching the mountains he makes/causes them to pour out fire and smoke!
inni ilaallaan lafti hollatte; inni tuqnaan tulluuwwan keessaa aarrii baʼe.
33 I will sing to Yahweh (as long as I live/throughout my entire life). I will praise my God until the day that I die.
Bara jireenya koo guutuu ani Waaqayyoof nan faarfadha; hamma lubbuun koo jirtuttis faarfannaadhaan Waaqa koo nan galateeffadha.
34 I want Yahweh to be pleased by all those things that I have thought [about him], because I rejoice about [knowing] him.
Irra deddeebiʼee yaaduun koo isa haa gammachiisu; ani Waaqayyotti nan gammadaatii.
35 [But] I desire that sinners will disappear from the earth, so that there will be no more wicked [people]! [But as for] me, I will praise Yahweh! (Praise him/Hallelujah)!
Cubbamoonni lafa irraa haa badan; hamoonnis siʼachi hin jiraatin. Yaa lubbuu koo Waaqayyoon eebbisi. Haalleluuyaa.
