Faarfannaa 121

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

A song of ascents. I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come?

2 Gargaarsi koo Waaqayyo samii fi lafa uume biraa dhufa.

My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

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

He will not allow your foot to slip; your Protector will not slumber.

4 dhugumaan inni Israaʼelin eegu hin mugu; hin rafus.

Behold, the Protector of Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.

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

The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is the shade on your right hand.

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

The sun will not strike you by day, nor the moon by night.

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

The LORD will guard you from all evil; He will preserve your soul.

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

The LORD will watch over your coming and going, both now and forevermore.
