Faarfannaa 112

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

Praise the Lord! Happy are those who respect the Lord, who love to do what he says!

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

Their descendants will prosper in the land; the children of those who do good will be blessed.

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

Their families will be wealthy; the good they do has eternal results.

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

Light shines in the darkness for those who live right, for those who are gracious, compassionate, and good.

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

Good things come to those who are generous in their lending and are honest in doing business.

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

They will never fall. Those who live right won't be forgotten.

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

They aren't afraid of bad news because they rely totally on the Lord.

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

They are confident and brave, and see their enemies defeated.

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

They share generously, giving to the poor; the good they do has eternal results. They are greatly respected.

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

The wicked observe all this and are mad; they gnash their teeth in anger. They waste away, and all that they hoped for comes to nothing.
