Faarfannaa 132
1 Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Yaa Waaqayyo, Daawitii fi rakkina inni obse hundumaa yaadadhu.
A song of ascents. Remember, O Lord, David all his sufferings,
2 Inni kakuu tokko Waaqayyoof kakatee Waaqa Yaaqoob Jabaa sanaaf akkana jedhee wareege:
the oath that he swore to the Lord, and his vow to the Strong One of Jacob,
3 “Ani mana koo ol hin seenu; yookaan siree kootti ol hin baʼu.
never to enter his tent, never to lie on his bed,
4 Ani ija kootiif hirriba, baallee ija kootiitiif immoo mugaatii hin eeyyamu;
never to give his eyes sleep or his eyelids slumber,
5 kunis hamma ani Waaqayyoof iddoo argutti, Waaqa Yaaqoob Jabaa sanaaf iddoo jireenyaa argutti.”
till he had found a place for the Lord, for the Strong One of Jacob to live in.
6 Kunoo, Efraataatti waaʼee isaa dhageenye; Yaaʼaarittis isa arganne:
We heard of it in Ephrathah, in the fields of Jaar we found it.
7 “Kottaa iddoo jireenya isaa dhaqnaa; ejjeta miilla isaa jalattis kufnee waaqeffannaa.
We went to the place where he dwelt, we bowed ourselves low at his footstool.
8 ‘Yaa Waaqayyo kaʼiitii, gara iddoo boqonnaa keetii kottu; atii fi taabonni jabina keetiis kottaa.
‘Arise, Lord, and enter your resting-place, you and your mighty ark.
9 Luboonni kee qajeelummaa haa uffatan; qulqulloonni kees gammachuudhaan haa faarfatan.’”
Let your priests wear a garment of righteousness, your faithful shout aloud for joy.
10 Sababii garbicha kee Daawitiif jedhiitii, dibamaa kee hin gatin.
For the sake of David your servant, do not reject your Anointed.’
11 Waaqayyo akkana jedhee kakuu dhugaa tokko Daawitiif kakateera; inni kakuu kana irraa duubatti hin deebiʼu: “Ani ilmaan kee keessaa isa tokko teessoo kee irra nan teessisa;
The Lord swore an oath to David an oath that he will not break; ‘I will set on your throne a prince of your line.
12 yoo ilmaan kee kakuu koo fi seera ani isaan barsiisu eegan, ilmaan isaaniis akkasuma bara baraa hamma bara baraatti teessoo kee irra ni taaʼu.”
If your sons keep my covenant and the statutes I teach them, then their sons, too, forever, will sit on your throne.’
13 Waaqayyo Xiyoonin filateeraatii; akka isheen iddoo jireenya isaa taatus fedhee akkana jedheera:
For the choice of the Lord is Zion; she is the home of his heart.
14 “Kun bara baraa hamma bara baraatti iddoo jireenyaa koo ti; kanas ani waanan fedheef, as nan jiraadha.
‘This is forever my resting-place, this is the home of my heart.
15 Ani waan hundaan ishee nan eebbisa; hiyyeeyyii ishee illee buddeena nan quubsa.
I will royally bless her provision, and give bread to her poor in abundance.
16 Luboota isheetti fayyina nan uffisa; qulqulloonni ishees gammachuudhaan ni faarfatu.
Her priests I will clothe with salvation; her faithful will shout for joy.
17 “Ani achitti akka gaanfi tokko Daawitiif biqilu nan godha; dibamaa koofis ibsaa qopheesseera.
There will I raise up for David a dynasty of power. I have set my anointed a lamp that shall never go out.
18 Diinota isaatti qaanii nan uffisa; gonfoon mataa isaa irraa garuu ni ifa.”
Robes of shame I will put on his foes, but on his head a glittering crown.’
