Faarfannaa 122

1 Faarfannaa Ol baʼuu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Yommuu isaan, “Kottu gara mana Waaqayyoo dhaqnaa” naan jedhanitti, ani nan gammade.

I was glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of Jehovah.

2 Yaa Yerusaalem, miilli keenya karrawwan kee irra dhaabata.

Our feet are standing inside thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Yerusaalem akka magaalaa walitti maxxantee gobbatte tokkootti ijaaramte.

Jerusalem, that is built as a city that is compact together,

4 Kunis iddoo gosoonni, gosoonni Waaqayyo, akka sirna Israaʼeliif kenname sanaatti, maqaa Waaqayyoo galateeffachuuf itti ol baʼanii dha.

where the tribes go up, even the tribes of Jehovah, for an ordinance for Israel, to give thanks to the name of Jehovah.

5 Teessoowwan murtii, teessoowwan mana Daawit achi dhaabatu.

For there thrones are set for judgment, the thrones of the house of David.

6 Akkana jedhaa nagaa Yerusaalemiif kadhadhaa: “Warri si jaallatan nagaan haa jiraatan.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prosper who love thee.

7 Dallaa kee keessa nagaan, masaraa mootummaa keetii keessa immoo tasgabbiin haa jiraatu.”

Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

8 Ani obboloota kootii fi michoota kootiif jedhee, “Nagaan si keessa haa jiraatu” nan jedha.

For my brothers and companions' sakes I will now say, Peace be within thee.

9 Mana Waaqayyo Waaqa keenyaatiif jedhee, ani akka wanni gaariin siif taʼu nan hawwa.

For the sake of the house of Jehovah our God I will seek thy good.
