Faarfannaa 112

1 Haalleluuyaa. Namni Waaqayyoon sodaatu, kan ajaja isaatti baayʼee gammadu eebbifamaa dha.

Let the Lord be praised. Happy is the man who gives honour to the Lord, and has great delight in his laws.

2 Sanyiin isaa lafa irratti jabaa taʼa; dhaloonni tolootaa ni eebbifama.

His seed will be strong on the earth; blessings will be on the generation of the upright.

3 Qabeenyii fi badhaadhummaan mana isaa keessa jira; qajeelummaan isaas bara baraan jiraata.

A store of wealth will be in his house, and his righteousness will be for ever.

4 Nama tolaa fi arjaadhaaf, gara laafessaa fi qajeelaaf, dukkana keessatti iyyuu ifni ni baʼa.

For the upright there is a light shining in the dark; he is full of grace and pity.

5 Nama arjaa fi nama waa namaa liqeessuuf, nama hojii isaa qajeelummaadhaan adeemsifatuuf waan gaariitu taʼa.

All is well for the man who is kind and gives freely to others; he will make good his cause when he is judged.

6 Dhugumaan inni gonkumaa hin raafamu; namni qajeelaan bara baraan yaadatama.

He will not ever be moved; the memory of the upright will be living for ever.

7 Inni oduu hamaa hin sodaatu; garaan isaas Waaqayyoon amanachuudhaan jabaatee dhaabata.

He will have no fear of evil news; his heart is fixed, for his hope is in the Lord.

8 Garaan isaa hin raafamu; hin sodaatus; dhuma irrattis diinota isaa moʼata.

His heart is resting safely, he will have no fear, till he sees trouble come on his haters.

9 Inni ni bittinneesse; hiyyeeyyiifis ni kenne; qajeelummaan isaa bara baraan ni jiraata; gaanfi isaas ulfinaan ol qabama.

He has given with open hands to the poor; his righteousness is for ever; his horn will be lifted up with honour.

10 Namni hamaan waan kana argee aara; ilkaan isaa qara; baqees ni bada; hawwiin hamootaa faayidaa malee hafa.

The sinner will see it with grief; he will be wasted away with envy; the desire of the evil-doers will come to nothing.
