Faarfannaa 122

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

A Song of degrees. Of David. I rejoiced when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of Jehovah.

2 Yaa Yerusaalem, miilli keenya karrawwan kee irra dhaabata.

Our feet shall stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem.

3 Yerusaalem akka magaalaa walitti maxxantee gobbatte tokkootti ijaaramte.

Jerusalem, which art 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.

Whither the tribes go up, the tribes of Jah, a testimony to Israel, to give thanks unto the name of Jehovah.

5 Teessoowwan murtii, teessoowwan mana Daawit achi dhaabatu.

For there are set thrones 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 that love thee.

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

Peace be within thy bulwarks, prosperity within thy palaces.

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

For my brethren and companions' sakes I will say, Peace be within thee!

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

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