Faarfannaa 125

1 Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Warri Waaqayyoon amanatan akka Tulluu Xiyoon kan hin raafamne, kan bara baraan jiraatu sanaa ti.

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, for it is unshakeable and endures forever.

2 Akkuma tulluuwwan Yerusaalemin marsan sana, Waaqayyo ammaa jalqabee hamma bara baraatti, saba isaa ni marsa.

In the same way that the mountains surround Jerusalem, the Lord surrounds his people, now and forever.

3 Akka qajeeltonni jalʼina hojjechuuf harka isaanii ol hin diriirfanneef, bokkuun hamootaa lafa qajeeltotaaf ixaadhaan qoodame irra hin jiraatu.

The wicked will not always rule over the land of the faithful, otherwise the faithful might also end up doing wrong.

4 Yaa Waaqayyo, warra gaariif, warra garaa isaaniitiin toloota taʼaniifis waan gaarii godhi.

Lord, please do good to those who do good, those who sincerely do what is right.

5 Warra karaa micciiramaatti garagalan garuu, Waaqayyo akkuma warra hammina hojjetan balleessu jaras ni balleessa. Nagaan Israaʼeliif haa taʼu.

But as for those who turn aside to follow their own crooked ways—those the Lord will lead them away together with those who do evil. May Israel be at peace!
