Faarfannaa 1

1 Namni gorsa hamootaatiin hin deddeebine, yookaan karaa cubbamootaa irra hin dhaabanne, yookaan barcuma qoostotaa irra hin teenye, eebbifamaa dha.

Blessed [is] the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers.

2 Garuu inni seera Waaqayyootti gammada; seera isaas halkanii guyyaa irra deddeebiʼee itti yaada.

But his delight [is] in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 Inni akkuma muka qarqara bishaan yaaʼuu dhaabamee yeroo isaatti ija isaa kennu, kan baalli isaas hin coollagnee ti; wanni inni hojjetu hundinuus ni tolaaf.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth its fruit in season; its leaf also shall not wither; and whatever he doeth shall prosper.

4 Hamoonni garuu akkana miti; isaan akka habaqii qilleensi fudhatee balleessuu ti.

The ungodly [are] not so: but [are] like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

5 Kanaafuu hamoonni murtii dura, yookaan cubbamoonni waldaa qajeeltotaa keessa hin dhaabatan.

Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

6 Waaqayyo karaa qajeeltotaa ni beekaatii; karaan hamootaa garuu gara badiitti geessa.

For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.
