Faarfannaa 121

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

A song of degrees. I will lift mine eyes vnto the mountaines, from whence mine helpe shall come.

2 Gargaarsi koo Waaqayyo samii fi lafa uume biraa dhufa.

Mine helpe commeth from the Lord, which hath made the heauen and the earth.

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

He wil not suffer thy foote to slippe: for he that keepeth thee, will not slumber.

4 dhugumaan inni Israaʼelin eegu hin mugu; hin rafus.

Beholde, he that keepeth Israel, wil neither slumber nor sleepe.

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

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shadow at thy right hand.

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

The sunne shall not smite thee by day, nor the moone by night.

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

The Lord shall preserue thee from all euil: he shall keepe thy soule.

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

The Lord shall preserue thy going out, and thy comming in from henceforth and for euer.
