Faarfannaa 113

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

Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 Ammaa hamma bara baraatti maqaan Waaqayyoo haa eebbifamu.

Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

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

From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.

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

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

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

Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:

6 Kan gad jedhee samii fi lafa ilaalu eenyu?

And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?

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

Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:

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

That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.

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

Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.
