Faarfannaa 121

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

A Song of the Ascents. I lift up mine eyes unto the hills, Whence doth my help come?

2 Gargaarsi koo Waaqayyo samii fi lafa uume biraa dhufa.

My help [is] from Jehovah, maker of heaven and earth,

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

He suffereth not thy foot to be moved, Thy preserver slumbereth not.

4 dhugumaan inni Israaʼelin eegu hin mugu; hin rafus.

Lo, He slumbereth not, nor sleepeth, He who is preserving Israel.

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

Jehovah [is] thy preserver, Jehovah [is] thy shade on thy right hand,

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

By day the sun doth not smite thee, Nor the moon by night.

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

Jehovah preserveth thee from all evil, He doth preserve thy soul.

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

Jehovah preserveth thy going out and thy coming in, From henceforth even unto the age!
