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 hills, from where comes my help.

2 Gargaarsi koo Waaqayyo samii fi lafa uume biraa dhufa.

My help comes from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

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

He will not suffer your foot to be moved: he that keeps you will not slumber.

4 dhugumaan inni Israaʼelin eegu hin mugu; hin rafus.

Behold, he that keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

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

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

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

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

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

The LORD shall preserve you from all evil: he shall preserve your soul.

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

The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even for ever more.
