Faarfannaa 133

1 Faarfannaa ol baʼuu. Faarfannaa Daawit. Obboloonni tokkummaadhaan walii wajjin jiraachuun, akkam gaarii dha! Akkam namatti tolas!

A Song of Ascents. David’s. Lo! how good and how delightful, for brethren, to dwell together even as one.

2 Kun akka zayitii gatii guddaa kan mataa irratti dhangalaafamee, akka isa areeda irra gad yaaʼuu, areeda Aroon irra, morma uffata isaa irras gad yaaʼa ti.

Like the precious oil upon the head, descending upon the beard; the beard of Aaron, —which descended unto the opening of his robe:

3 Innis akkuma fixeensa Hermoon, kan Tulluu Xiyoon irra gad yaaʼuu ti. Achi irratti Waaqayyo hamma bara baraatti eebba isaa, jireenyas ajajeeraatii.

Like the dew of Hermon, which descended upon the mountains of Zion, —for, there, did Yahweh command the blessing, Life, unto times age-abiding?
