Faarfannaa 113

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

Hallelujah. Praise, O ye servants of the Lord, praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 Ammaa hamma bara baraatti maqaan Waaqayyoo haa eebbifamu.

Let the name of the Lord be blessed from this time forth and for evermore.

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

From the rising of the sun unto his going down the name of the Lord is praised.

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

High above all nations is the Lord, above the heavens is his glory.

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

Who is like the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?

6 Kan gad jedhee samii fi lafa ilaalu eenyu?

Who condescendeth to view what is done in the heavens, and on the earth?

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

He raiseth up out of the dust the poor, from the dunghill he lifteth up the needy:

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

That he may 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.

He causeth the barren woman to dwell in the midst of [her] household, the joyful mother of children. Hallelujah.
