Faarfannaa 128

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

A song of ascents. Happy all who fear the Lord, who walk in his ways.

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

You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous!

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.

Like a fruitful vine shall your wife be in the innermost room of your house: your children, like olive shoots, round about your table.

4 Namni Waaqayyoon sodaatu akkasitti eebbifama.

See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord.

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

The Lord shall bless you from Zion. You will see Jerusalem nourish all the days of your life.

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

You will see your children’s children. Peace upon Israel.
