Faarfannaa 128

1 Faarfannaa Ol Baʼuu. Warri Waaqayyoon sodaatan, kanneen karaa isaa irra deeman eebbifamoo dha.

Blessed are all who fear Jehovah, who walk in his ways.

2 Ati buʼaa dadhabbii keetii ni nyaatta; ni eebbifamta; jireenyis sitti tola.

For thou shall eat the labor of thy hands. Happy thou shall be, and it shall be well with thee.

3 Niitiin kee mana kee keessatti, akka muka wayinii kan ija naqatee ni taati; ijoolleen kees naannoo maaddii keetiitti, akka lataa muka ejersaa ni taʼu.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.

4 Namni Waaqayyoon sodaatu akkasitti eebbifama.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed who fears Jehovah.

5 Bara jireenya keetii guutuu, Waaqayyo Xiyoon irraa si haa eebbisu; atis badhaadhummaa Yerusaalem argi.

Jehovah bless thee out of Zion, and see thou the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

6 ijoollee ijoollee keetii ni argi; nagaan Israaʼeliif haa taʼu.

Yea, see thou thy son's sons. Peace be upon Israel.
