1 Haalleluuyaa. Yaa tajaajiltoota Waaqayyoo, galata galchaa; maqaa Waaqayyoo jajadhaa.

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, children. Praise the name of the Lord.

2 Ammaa hamma bara baraatti maqaan Waaqayyoo haa eebbifamu.

Blessed is the name of the Lord, from this time forward and even forever.

3 Baʼa biiftuutii hamma lixa biiftuutti, maqaan Waaqayyoo haa jajamu.

From the rising of the sun, even to its setting, praiseworthy is the name of the Lord.

4 Waaqayyo saba hundaa ol jira; ulfinni isaas samiiwwanii ol.

The Lord is high above all nations, and his glory is high above the heavens.

5 Kan akka Waaqayyo Waaqa keenya isa gubbaa teessoo isaa irra taaʼu sanaa eenyu?

Who is like the Lord, our God, who dwells on high,

6 Kan gad jedhee samii fi lafa ilaalu eenyu?

and who gazes upon the humble things in heaven and on earth?

7 Inni hiyyeessa awwaara keessaa ni kaasa; rakkataas tuulaa daaraa keessaa ol fuudha;

He lifts up the needy from the ground, and he urges the poor away from filth,

8 inni bulchitoota gidduu, bulchitoota saba isaa gidduus isaan teessisa.

so that he may place him with the leaders, with the leaders of his people.

9 Inni akkuma haadha ijoollee kan gammachuudhaan jiraattuutti, dubartii maseena mana ishee keessa ni jiraachisa. Haalleluuyaa.

He causes a barren woman to live in a house, as the joyful mother of sons.
