Faarfannaa 128

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

A Song of Ascents. Blessed is every one that feareth Jehovah, That walketh in his ways.

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

For thou shalt eat the labor of thy hands: Happy shalt thou 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 children like olive plants, Round about thy table.

4 Namni Waaqayyoon sodaatu akkasitti eebbifama.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed That feareth 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 children’s children. Peace be upon Israel.
