Faarfannaa 121

1 Faarfannaa Ol baʼuu. Ani ija koo gara tulluuwwaniitti ol nan qabadha; gargaarsi koo eessaa dhufa?

I will lift up my eyes to the mountains. From where shall my help come?

2 Gargaarsi koo Waaqayyo samii fi lafa uume biraa dhufa.

My help is from Jehovah, who made heaven and earth.

3 Inni akka miilli kee mucucaatu hin godhu; kan si eegu hin mugu;

He will not allow thy foot to be moved. He who keeps thee will not slumber.

4 dhugumaan inni Israaʼelin eegu hin mugu; hin rafus.

Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

5 Waaqayyo si eega; Waaqayyo karaa mirga keetiitiin gaaddisa siif taʼa;

Jehovah is thy keeper. Jehovah is thy shade upon thy right hand.

6 guyyaa aduun si hin gubu; halkanis jiʼi si hin miidhu.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

7 Waaqayyo miidhaa hunda irraa si eega; inni lubbuu kee ni eega;

Jehovah will keep thee from all evil. He will keep thy soul.

8 Waaqayyo ammaa jalqabee hamma bara baraatti, baʼuu fi galuu kee ni eega.

Jehovah will keep thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth and for evermore.
