Psalms 99
1 Yahweh is the [supreme] king, so [all] the people-groups should tremble ([in his presence/in front of him])! He sits on his throne [in the temple] above the [statues of] winged creatures, [so] the earth should quake/shake!
Waaqayyo moʼeera; saboonni haa hollatan; inni kiirubeel gidduu, teessoo isaa irra taaʼa; lafti haa raafamtu.
2 Yahweh is a mighty [king] in Jerusalem; [but] he is [also] the supreme ruler of all people-groups.
Waaqayyo Xiyoon keessatti guddaa dha; inni saboota hunda irra ol ol jedheera.
3 [So] they should praise him because he is very great/powerful; and he is holy!
Isaan maqaa kee guddichaa fi sodaachisaa sana haa jajan; inni qulqulluu dha.
4 He is a mighty king who (loves/is pleased with) what is just/right; he has acted justly and fairly [DOU] in Israel.
Mootichi humna qabeessa; inni murtii qajeelaa jaallata; ati tola hundeessiteerta; Yaaqoob keessattis haqaa fi qajeelummaa hojjetteerta.
5 Praise Yahweh our God! Worship him [in front of the Sacred Chest in his temple] [MTY], where he rules people. He is holy!
Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya leellisaa; ejjeta miilla isaa jalatti sagadaa; inni qulqulluu dha.
6 Moses and Aaron were two of his priests; Samuel also was someone who prayed to him. Those [three] cried out to Yahweh [to help them], and he answered them.
Musee fi Aroon luboota isaa keessa turan; Saamuʼeelis warra maqaa isaa waammatan keessa ture; isaan Waaqayyoon waammatan; innis deebii kenneef.
7 He spoke to Moses and Aaron from the cloud [that was like a huge] pillar; they obeyed [all] the laws and commandments [DOU] that he gave to them.
Inni utubaa duumessaa keessaa isaanitti dubbate; isaanis sirna isaatii fi seera inni isaaniif kenne eegan.
8 Yahweh, our God, you answered [your people] [when they cried out to you to help them]; you are a God who forgave them [for those sins that they had committed], even though you punished them for the things that they did that are wrong.
Yaa Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya, ati deebii isaanii kennite; ati balleessaa isaanii adabdu illee, Israaʼeliif Waaqa dhiifama gootu turte.
9 Praise Yahweh, our God, and worship him [at the temple] on his sacred hill; [it is right to do that] because Yahweh, our God, is holy!
Waaqa keenya Waaqayyoon leellisaa; tulluu isaa qulqulluu irrattis waaqeffadhaa; Waaqayyo Waaqni keenya Waaqa qulqulluudhaatii.
