Faarfannaa 128

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

A Song of the Ascents. O the happiness of every one fearing Jehovah, Who is walking in His ways.

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

The labour of thy hands thou surely eatest, Happy [art] thou, and good [is] to 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 [is] as a fruitful vine in the sides of thy house, Thy sons as olive plants around thy table.

4 Namni Waaqayyoon sodaatu akkasitti eebbifama.

Lo, surely thus is the man blessed who is fearing Jehovah.

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

Jehovah doth bless thee out of Zion, Look, then, on the good of Jerusalem, All the days of thy life,

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

And see the sons of thy sons! Peace on Israel!
