Faarfannaa 138

1 Faarfannaa Daawit. Yaa Waaqayyo, ani garaa koo guutuudhaan sin galateeffadha; fuula “waaqotaa” durattis galata kee nan faarfadha.

Of David. I will thank you, O Lord, with all my heart: in the sight of the gods I will sing your praise,

2 Sababii ati maqaa keetii fi dubbii kee waan hundaa olitti guddifteef, ani sababii jaalalaa fi amanamummaa keetiitiif gara mana qulqullummaa kee qulqullichaatti gad jedhee, maqaa kee nan leellisa.

and prostrate before your holy temple, will praise your name for your constant love, for you have exulted your promise above all.

3 Yeroo ani si waammadhetti ati deebii naa kennite; irree keetiinis na jabeessite.

When I called you, you answered; you gave me strength, you inspired me.

4 Yaa Waaqayyo, mootonni lafaa hundinuu, yeroo dubbii afaan keetii dhagaʼanitti si haa leellisan.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, when they shall have heard the words you have uttered;

5 Ulfinni Waaqayyoo, guddaadhaatii, isaan waaʼee karaa Waaqayyoo haa faarfatan.

and they shall sing of the ways of the Lord, and tell of the Lord’s transcendent glory.

6 Waaqayyo yoo ol fagoo jiraate iyyuu, nama gad qabame ni ilaala; nama of tuulu immoo fagootti beeka.

For, high though the Lord is, he looks on the lowly, and strikes down the haughty from far away.

7 Ani rakkina keessa jiraadhu iyyuu, ati lubbuu koo ni eegda; aarii diina kootti harka kee ni diriirsita; harka kee mirgaatiinis na oolchita.

Though my way be distressful, yet you preserve me: you lay your hand on my angry foes, and your right hand gives me victory.

8 Waaqayyo kaayyoo isaa fiixaan naa baasa; yaa Waaqayyo, jaalalli kee bara baraan jiraata; hojii harka keetii hin gatin.

The Lord will accomplish all that which concerns me. Your kindness, O Lord, endures forever. O do not abandon the work of your hands.
