Faarfannaa 128

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

A song for pilgrims going up to Jerusalem. Happy are all those who worship the Lord, everyone who follows his ways!

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

You will eat what your own hands have produced. You will be happy and do well.

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.

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine growing in your home. Your children will be like the shoots of an olive tree around your table.

4 Namni Waaqayyoon sodaatu akkasitti eebbifama.

This will certainly be the Lord's blessing on those who worship him.

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

May the Lord go on blessing you from Zion; may you see Jerusalem prosper all the days of your life.

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

May you see your children's children. May Israel be at peace!
