Faarfannaa 128

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

A Song of Ascents. Happy is every one that feareth the LORD, that walketh in His ways.

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

When thou eatest the labour 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, 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 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.

And see thy children's children. Peace be upon Israel!
