Faarfannaa 122

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

A song of degrees, or Psalme of David. I rejoiced, when they sayd to me, We wil go into the house of the Lord.

2 Yaa Yerusaalem, miilli keenya karrawwan kee irra dhaabata.

Our feete shall stand in thy gates, O Ierusalem.

3 Yerusaalem akka magaalaa walitti maxxantee gobbatte tokkootti ijaaramte.

Ierusalem is builded as a citie, that is compact together in it selfe:

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

Whereunto the Tribes, euen the Tribes of the Lord go vp according to the testimonie to Israel, to prayse the Name of the Lord.

5 Teessoowwan murtii, teessoowwan mana Daawit achi dhaabatu.

For there are thrones set for iudgement, euen the thrones of the house of Dauid.

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

Pray for the peace of Ierusalem: let them prosper that loue thee.

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

Peace be within thy walles, and prosperitie within thy palaces.

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

For my brethren and neighbours sakes I will wish thee now prosperitie.

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

Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will procure thy wealth.
