Faarfannaa 128

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

Blessed are all they that fear the Lord: that walk in his ways.

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

For thou shalt eat the labours of thy hands: blessed art thou, 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 as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.

4 Namni Waaqayyoon sodaatu akkasitti eebbifama.

Behold, thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the Lord.

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

May the Lord bless thee out of Sion: and mayest thou see the good things of Jerusalem all the days of thy life.

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

And mayest thou see thy children’s children, peace upon Israel.
