Faarfannaa 126

1 Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Yeroo Waaqayyo warra boojiʼamanii turan gara Xiyoonitti deebisetti, nu akka warra abjuu abjootanii taane.

When Jehovah brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

2 Afaan keenya kolfaan, arrabni keenya immoo faarfannaa gammachuutiin guutame. Kana irratti saboota gidduutti, “Waaqayyo waan guddaa isaaniif godheera” jedhame.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, Jehovah has done great things for them.

3 Waaqayyo waan guddaa nuuf godhe; nus ni gammanne.

Jehovah has done great things for us. We are glad.

4 Yaa Waaqayyo, akkuma lagoota Negeeb, boojuu keenya nuu deebisi.

Turn again our captivity, O Jehovah, as the streams in the South.

5 Warri imimmaaniin facaasan, faarfannaa gammachuutiin ni haammatu.

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy.

6 Namni sanyii facaafamu baadhatee booʼaa gad baʼu, bissii isaa baadhatee faarfannaa gammachuu faarfachaa deebiʼa.

He who goes forth and weeps, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with joy, bringing his sheaves.
