Faarfannaa 122

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

A SONG OF THE ASCENTS. BY DAVID. I have rejoiced in those saying to me, “We go to the house of YHWH.”

2 Yaa Yerusaalem, miilli keenya karrawwan kee irra dhaabata.

Our feet have been standing in your gates, O Jerusalem!

3 Yerusaalem akka magaalaa walitti maxxantee gobbatte tokkootti ijaaramte.

Jerusalem—the built one—[Is] as a city that is joined to itself together.

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

For there tribes have gone up, Tribes of YAH, companies of Israel, To give thanks to the Name of YHWH.

5 Teessoowwan murtii, teessoowwan mana Daawit achi dhaabatu.

For there thrones of judgment have sat, Thrones of the house of David.

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

Ask [for] the peace of Jerusalem, Those loving you are at rest.

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

Peace is in your bulwark, rest in your high places,

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

For the sake of my brothers and my companions, Please let me speak, “Peace [be] in you.”

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

For the sake of the house of our God YHWH, I seek good for you!
