Faarfannaa 128

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

A song of degrees. Blessed is euery one that feareth the Lord and walketh in his wayes.

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

When thou eatest the labours of thine hands, thou shalt be blessed, 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 shalbe as the fruitfull vine on the sides of thine house, and thy children like the oliue plantes round about thy table.

4 Namni Waaqayyoon sodaatu akkasitti eebbifama.

Lo, surely 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.

The Lord out of Zion shall blesse thee, and thou shalt see the wealth of Ierusalem all the dayes of thy life.

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

Yea, thou shalt see thy childrens children, and peace vpon Israel.
