Praise Yahweh. Blessed is the man who obeys Yahweh, who greatly delights in his commandments.

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

His descendants will be powerful on earth; the descendants of the godly man will be blessed.

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

Wealth and riches are in his house; his righteousness will endure forever.

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

Light shines in the darkness for the godly person; he is gracious, merciful, and just.

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

It goes well for the man who deals graciously and lends money, who conducts his affairs with honesty.

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

For he will never be moved; the righteous person will be remembered forever.

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

He does not fear bad news; he is confident, trusting in Yahweh.

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

His heart is tranquil, without fear, until he looks in triumph over his adversaries.

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

He generously gives to the poor; his righteousness endures forever; he will be exalted with honor.

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

The wicked person will see this and be angry; he will grind his teeth in rage and he will melt away; the desire of the wicked people will perish.
