Faarfannaa 113

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

Alleluia. Praise the Lord, you servants [of his], praise, the name of the Lord.

2 Ammaa hamma bara baraatti maqaan Waaqayyoo haa eebbifamu.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed, from this present time and for ever.

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

From the rising of the sun to his setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised.

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

The Lord is high above all the nations; his glory is 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 dwells in the high places,

6 Kan gad jedhee samii fi lafa ilaalu eenyu?

and [yet] looks upon the low things in heaven, and on the earth:

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

who lifts up the poor from the earth, and raises up the needy from the dunghill;

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

to set him with princes, [even] with the princes of his people:

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

who settles the barren [woman] in a house, [as] a mother rejoicing over children.
