Faarfannaa 135
1 Haalleluuyaa. Maqaa Waaqayyoo jajadhaa; isin garboonni Waaqayyoo isa galateeffadhaa.
Praise Yahweh! You who (do work for/serve) Yahweh, praise him!
2 Isin warri mana Waaqayyoo keessa, oobdii mana Waaqa keenyaa keessa tajaajiltan, isa galateeffadhaa.
You who stand in the temple of Yahweh our God and in the surrounding courtyard, praise him [MTY]!
3 Waaqayyo gaariidhaatii, Waaqayyoon galateeffadhaa; inni arjaadhaatii maqaa isaatiif faarfadhaa.
Praise Yahweh, because he does good things [for us]; sing to him [MTY], because he is kind [to us].
4 Waaqayyo Yaaqoobin ofii isaatiif, Israaʼelin immoo dhaala dhuunfaa isaa godhee filateeraatii.
He has chosen [us, the descendants of] Jacob; he has chosen [us] Israelis to belong to him [DOU].
5 Ani akka Waaqayyo guddaa taʼe, akka Gooftaan keenya waaqota hunda caalaa guddaa taʼe beeka.
I know that Yahweh is great; he is greater than all the gods.
6 Waaqayyo samiiwwan keessattii fi lafa irratti, galaanotaa fi tuujuba isaanii hunda keessatti, waan isa gammachiisu kam iyyuu ni hojjeta.
Yahweh does whatever he desires to do, in heaven and on the earth and in the seas/oceans, [down] to the bottom of the seas.
7 Inni akka duumessoonni daarii lafaatii kaʼan ni godha; bokkaa wajjin balaqqee erga; gombisaa isaa keessaas bubbee gad baasa.
He is the one who causes clouds to appear from very distant places on the earth; he sends lightning with the rain, and he brings the winds from the places where he stores them.
8 Inni hangafoota Gibxi, kan namaatii fi kan horii ni dhaʼe.
He is the one who killed [all] the firstborn [males] in Egypt, the firstborn of people and of animals.
9 Yaa Gibxi, inni gidduu keetti, Faraʼoonii fi tajaajiltoota isaa hundatti mallattoo fi dinqii isaa ergeera.
There he performed many kinds of miracles [DOU] to punish the king and all his officials.
10 Inni saboota baayʼee dhaʼee mootota jajjaboo ajjeese;
He destroyed many nations and the powerful kings [who ruled them]:
11 Sihoon mootii warra Amoorotaa, Oogi mootii Baashaanii fi mootota Kanaʼaan hunda ni ajjeese;
Sihon, the king of the Amor people-group, and Og, the king of Bashan [region], and all the other kings in Canaan [land].
12 lafa isaanii dhaala godhee akka dhaala isaanii taʼuufis saba isaa Israaʼeliif kenne.
Then he gave their land to [us] Israeli people to belong to us [forever].
13 Yaa Waaqayyo, maqaan kee bara baraan jiraata; yaa Waaqayyo, ati dhaloota hunda keessatti ni yaadatamta.
Yahweh your name will endure forever, and people who are not yet born will remember the great things [that you have done].
14 Waaqayyo saba isaatiif ni falma; tajaajiltoota isaatiifis garaa laafa.
Yahweh, [you] declare that we your people (are innocent/have not done things that are wrong), and you are merciful to us.
15 Waaqonni tolfamoon namoota ormaa meetii fi warqee harka namaatiin hojjetamanii dha.
But the idols that the [other] people-groups [worship] are only [statues made of] silver and gold, things that humans have made.
16 Isaan afaan qabu; garuu dubbachuu hin dandaʼan; ijas qabu; garuu arguu hin dandaʼan;
Their idols have mouths, but they cannot say [anything]; they have eyes, but they cannot see [anything].
17 gurra qabu; garuu dhagaʼuu hin dandaʼan; yookaan hafuurri tokko iyyuu afaan isaanii keessa hin jiru.
They have ears, but they cannot hear [anything], and they are not [even able to] breathe.
18 Warri isaan tolchan kanneen isaan amanatan hundi akkuma isaanii taʼu.
The people who make those idols are as [powerless as] those idols, and those who trust in those idols [can accomplish no more than] their idols can!
19 Yaa mana Israaʼel Waaqayyoon eebbisaa; yaa mana Aroon Waaqayyoon eebbisaa;
[My fellow] Israelis, praise Yahweh! You [priests] who are descended from Aaron, praise Yahweh!
20 yaa mana Lewwii Waaqayyoon eebbisaa; isin warri isa sodaattanis, Waaqayyoon eebbisaa.
You [men] who are descended from Levi, [you who assist the priests], praise Yahweh! [All] you who revere Yahweh, praise him!
21 Waaqayyo inni Yerusaalem keessa jiraatu sun, Xiyoon irraa haa eebbifamu. Haalleluuyaa!
Praise Yahweh in [the temple on] Zion [Hill] in Jerusalem, where he lives! Praise Yahweh!
