Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!
Haalleluuyaa. Samiiwwan irraa Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa; ol gubbaatti isa galateeffadhaa.
2 All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!
Ergamoonni isaa hundinuu isa galateeffadhaa; raayyaan isaa hundinuus isa galateeffadhaa.
3 Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!
Aduu fi jiʼi isa galateeffadhaa; urjiiwwan ibsitan hundinuus isa galateeffadhaa.
4 You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!
Samiiwwan samii isa galateeffadhaa; bishaanonni samiin ol jirtanis isa galateeffadhaa.
5 I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.
Isaan maqaa Waaqayyoo haa galateeffatan; inni ajajnaan, isaan uumamaniitii.
6 He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!
Inni bara baraa hamma bara baraatti isaan dhaabeera; seera hin geeddaramnes isaaniif kenneera.
7 And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],
Uumamawwan galaanaatii fi tuujubawwan hundi, lafa irraa Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa;
8 and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!
bakakkaa fi dhagaan cabbii, cabbii fi duumessi, bubbeen jabaan ajaja isaa raawwatan,
9 Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],
tulluuwwanii fi gaarran hundinuu, mukkeen ija naqatanii fi birbirsi hundinuu,
10 all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!
bineensonnii fi loon hundinuu, uumamawwan xixinnoo fi simbirroonni barrisan,
11 You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,
mootonni lafaatii fi saboonni hundinuu, ilmaan moototaatii fi bulchitoonni lafaa hundinuu,
12 you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]
dargaggoonnii fi shamarran, jaarsolii fi daaʼimman isa galateeffadhaa.
13 I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
Maqaan isaa qofti ol ol jedheeraatii, isaan maqaa Waaqayyoo haa galateeffatan; ulfinni isaas lafaa fi samiiwwanii ol jira.
14 He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
Inni saba isaatiif gaanfa ol kaaseera; kunis qulqulloota isaa hundaaf, saba Israaʼel warra isatti dhiʼoo jiran hundaaf ulfina. Haalleluuyaa.
