Psalms 135
1 Praise Yahweh! You who (do work for/serve) Yahweh, praise him!
Haalleluuyaa. Maqaa Waaqayyoo jajadhaa; isin garboonni Waaqayyoo isa galateeffadhaa.
2 You who stand in the temple of Yahweh our God and in the surrounding courtyard, praise him [MTY]!
Isin warri mana Waaqayyoo keessa, oobdii mana Waaqa keenyaa keessa tajaajiltan, isa galateeffadhaa.
3 Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; sing to him [MTY], because he is kind [to us].
Waaqayyo gaariidhaatii, Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa; inni arjaadhaatii maqaa isaatiif faarfadhaa.
4 He has chosen [us, the descendants of] Jacob; he has chosen [us] Israelis to belong to him [DOU].
Waaqayyo Yaaqoobin ofii isaatiif, Israaʼelin immoo dhaala dhuunfaa isaa godhee filateeraatii.
5 I know that Yahweh is great; he is greater than all the gods.
Ani akka Waaqayyo guddaa taʼe, akka Gooftaan keenya waaqota hunda caalaa guddaa taʼe beeka.
6 Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
Waaqayyo samiiwwan keessattii fi lafa irratti, galaanotaa fi tuujuba isaanii hunda keessatti, waan isa gammachiisu kam iyyuu ni hojjeta.
7 He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth; he sends lightning with the rain, and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
Inni akka duumessoonni daarii lafaatii kaʼan ni godha; bokkaa wajjin balaqqee erga; gombisaa isaa keessaas bubbee gad baasa.
8 He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.
Inni hangafoota Gibxi, kan namaatii fi kan horii ni dhaʼe.
9 There he performed many kinds of miracles [DOU] to punish the king and all his officials.
Yaa Gibxi, inni gidduu keetti, Faraʼoonii fi tajaajiltoota isaa hundatti mallattoo fi dinqii isaa ergeera.
10 He destroyed many nations and the powerful kings [who ruled them]:
Inni saboota baayʼee dhaʼee mootota jajjaboo ajjeese;
11 Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].
Sihoon mootii warra Amoorotaa, Oogi mootii Baashaanii fi mootota Kanaʼaan hunda ni ajjeese;
12 Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
lafa isaanii dhaala godhee akka dhaala isaanii taʼuufis saba isaa Israaʼeliif kenne.
13 Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
Yaa Waaqayyo, maqaan kee bara baraan jiraata; yaa Waaqayyo, ati dhaloota hunda keessatti ni yaadatamta.
14 Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
Waaqayyo saba isaatiif ni falma; tajaajiltoota isaatiifis garaa laafa.
15 But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
Waaqonni tolfamoon namoota ormaa meetii fi warqee harka namaatiin hojjetamanii dha.
16 Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
Isaan afaan qabu; garuu dubbachuu hin dandaʼan; ijas qabu; garuu arguu hin dandaʼan;
17 They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
gurra qabu; garuu dhagaʼuu hin dandaʼan; yookaan hafuurri tokko iyyuu afaan isaanii keessa hin jiru.
18 The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
Warri isaan tolchan kanneen isaan amanatan hundi akkuma isaanii taʼu.
19 [My fellow] Israelis, praise Yahweh! You [priests] who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!
Yaa mana Israaʼel Waaqayyoon eebbisaa; yaa mana Aroon Waaqayyoon eebbisaa;
20 You [men] who are descended from Levi, [you who assist the priests], praise Yahweh! [All] you who revere Yahweh, praise him!
yaa mana Lewwii Waaqayyoon eebbisaa; isin warri isa sodaattanis, Waaqayyoon eebbisaa.
21 Praise Yahweh in [the temple on] Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem, where he lives! Praise Yahweh!
Waaqayyo inni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu sun, Xiyoon irraa haa eebbifamu. Haalleluuyaa!
